Google Pixel 3a XL Quick Specs: unlocked Android 9 Pie smartphone features a 6-inch display with 1080 x 2160 pixel resolution, Snapdragon 670 chipset, 8 MP selfie camera, 12 MP rear camera, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal memory, and a 3000 mAh battery with QuickCharge. While the Pixel 3a is a 2019 device, there is no dual camera in sight on both front and back of this phone. Google is still betting on their traditional single camera setup. But then, this is a lite version of the Pixel 3. Something has got to give. At the back is a 12 megapixels camera. At the front is an 8 megapixels camera. The Pixel 3a is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 processor. There is 4 GB of RAM to make sure that app switching is smooth. The 3000 mAh capacity battery is small-ish, but then there might not be much to worry about, considering the screen size and the efficient processor. This is a handy Pixel cell phone. And it is more affordable too. With its specs, it looks like a good deal for Android purists and phone photography enthusiasts who do not want to spend $1000 on a smartphone. There is an XL version of the Pixel 3a, as well, with some bumped up specs. The specs for both devices are available below.
