Pixel 3a -- One year as a daily driver

With the release of the Pixel 4a right around the corner I thought I'd give a review of my daily driver: the Pixel 3a.


TL;DR The 2019 OG Nexus 5.


I bought the Pixel 3a last spring right after it was announced. I got it on sale for $299, which in hindsight was a really good deal. You can read/watch a ton of reviews on this phone, so I'm going try to focus on what I like about the phone and how it's held up after one year.

Although it uses a mid-range processor, the 3a has been really smooth ...

Would you buy a 2020 Google Pixel 2 with the latest chip for $399?

Would you? Nothing changes apart from the chip is improved. I'll even let you have nightsight and all the other pixel features from 2017-2020

Apple fans are drooling over the iphone SE which is basically a 2017 iphone 8 with the latest chip.

Is apple showing that the direction the industry has taken over the last few years has been for nothing? 18:9-20:9 screens aren't essential? Bezels are fine? Large screens are too big? Night mode is unnecessary? 2017 selfie cams are good enough?...

Workaround for Pixel 4 Face Unlock WITH Mask



For Pixel 4 users.

I found an acceptable workaround(80-85% success rate) that allows unlocking when I have a mask, and also when I have the mask removed.

Note: this only works with only **one type** of mask - you can't interchange a clinical mask with say, an N95, and expecting the workaround to unlock. A disposable surgical face mask was used in this workaround.

Time required: 3 minutes

Steps:

***your mileage may vary***

1. Delete your current face data and wear your desired mask
2. Fi...
