Price and Specifications of Google Pixel 3A XL

At the Google I / O developer event, Google made a breakthrough by launching Pixel 3A and Pixel 3A XL. Both of these phones are sold at prices that are quite affordable, but bring qualified specifications.

Many have mentioned that Google Pixel 3A and 3A XL are Google Nexus bead. Nexus is Google's hardware line that offers high specifications at very competitive prices. However, officially Nexus phones end up in the 6P series.

The difference between Google Pixel 3A XL and regular 3A Pixel is actually not very significant. Pixel 3A XL is equipped with a slightly wider screen and greater battery capacity. The rest, the specifications offered are the same, from the camera to the RAM and ROM configurations.

Like the usual Pixel 3A, Pixel 3A XL has a 6-inch OLED screen with 1080 × 2160 resolution, which is full HD. When compared with ordinary Pixel 3A, the pixel density on Pixel 3A XL is slightly smaller at only 402 ppi.

The difference in pixel density of the XL 3A Pixel screen is natural because the same screen resolution is displayed on a large screen. Although the pixel density is smaller, the Pixel 3A XL screen is still comfortable to use to accompany daily activities.

Google Pixel 3A XL has a larger battery capacity than the usual Pixel 3A, which is 3,700 mAh. Thus, the Pixel 3A XL battery will last longer than an ordinary Pixel 3A. This larger battery is possible because of the physical size of the cellphone which is also enlarged.

With the optimization of the software implemented by Google, this phone can last up to two days on a single charge. Unfortunately, this phone uses a planting battery that is difficult to replace if it has decreased capacity. The lifetime of the cellphone will also decrease.

The camera module used by Google Pixel 3A XL is the same as Pixel 3 or regular Pixel 3A. Thus, the results of the camera were identical to being split in half. You don't need to doubt the quality of the camera, because DXOMark gives almost perfect scores.

One of the most interesting features of Google Camera is Night Sight. This feature allows better shooting in low-light situations. The results are even very impressive and quite difficult to beat.

Therefore, if photography is your focus when choosing a cell phone, the Pixel family will not disappoint. Supported by Google's AI capabilities, you will get perfect photos anytime.

Google equips Pixel 3A XL with the latest Android operating system, which is 9.0 Pie. Version updates are guaranteed for two years, and security updates are guaranteed for three years. Google's track record of system update is also very good.

One of the most interesting features of Android 9.0 Pie is Digital Wellbeing. This feature detects when you are using a cell phone, and can provide suggestions for reducing your phone time.

For business, Pixel 3A XL uses Snapdragon 670, an eight core processor with two clusters. The "large" cluster consists of two Kryo 360 Gold cores, while the small cluster consists of six Kryo 630 Silver cores.

In everyday use, you will not find difficulties when using Pixel 3A XL. High-quality graphics can also be played smoothly. Snapdragon 670's performance is on par with Snapdragon 820 in 2016.

The advantages of Google Pixel 3A XL

1. The 6-inch AMOLED screen without bangs / notch allows you to enjoy content on the internet very comfortably.
2. The processor used already uses 10 nm fabrication technology so it is more power efficient without sacrificing performance.
3. The flagship class camera lens and Night Sight feature make Pixel 3A XL photos very good in any condition.
4. The operating system used, namely Android 9.0, is free from bloatware and is guaranteed to be renewed for three years. Mobile will also receive two new versions of Android so that the software will not be out of date.

Lack of Google Pixel 3A XL

1. Overall, a cell phone is not too different from the usual Pixel 3A. There are not many features that differentiate this phone from "his sister".
2. Internal memory and RAM configurations are offered only one, namely 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
3. The absence of an external memory slot on the mobile phone makes it difficult for you to expand memory.
4. The battery used is a planting battery. It will be difficult for you to replace this cellphone battery.

Conclusion

With Pixel 3A XL, Google seems to want to prove that not always something bigger is the best choice. This phone does not offer much distinguishing features from his sister, namely Google Pixel 3A.

Our advice remains the same: If you like photography, you will like Google Pixel 3A and 3A XL. If not, there are still many attractive choices in this price range, such as the Pocophone F1 which has a flagship class processor.
