Google Pixel 3A XL review: Affordable avatar?

Super-smooth Android and an iconic camera is what you’ll get on this re-priced phone — but in India it should be ₹10,000 cheaper

There’s something about a Google phone. A certain smooth finesse that almost no one else can match. Other phones can be snappy fast, but few, if ever, manage the feeling of melting fluidity that a Pixel has. Nor can anyone manage to come up with an industry-leading camera that is more software than hardware, managing jaw-dropping photos with a single lens where others use a whole collection.

The only problem is that the Pixel phones have cost more than what most are willing to pay. Now, Google is trying to fix that with a more affordable version of its 2018 Pixel duo: the Pixel 3A XL and the Pixel 3A, much rumoured, thoroughly leaked, and now finally here.
