[ad_1] When he reviewed it earlier this year, Chris Velazco wrote of Google and the 3a that “none of the compromises it made in producing this cheap Pixel actually feel like compromises.” You could buy a great budget phone before the Pixel 3a, but more affordable devices used to mean some kind of compromise.

Google’s powerful Recorder app now works on older Pixel phones
[ad_1] Google said last month it’d make Recorder available for older Pixels. On Thursday, it updated the app, which should now pop up in the Play Store for other supported Pixels, namely Pixel 2 and later devices. However, it doesn’t seem to work on the original Pixel — at least not officially. As is the […]
Google’s Live Captions come to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3A
[ad_1] Live Caption gives you a way to add captions to content like videos and podcasts, as well as audio messages — it doesn’t, however, work on audio and video calls — without the need for WiFi or data. You can position the captions anywhere on screen and even expand the box if you don’t […]
Google’s Pixel 3a drops to $300 on Amazon for Black Friday
[ad_1] If you missed out on the Pixel 3a’s price drop last week, don’t worry — you’ll have a second shot now that Black Friday is here. Google’s starter 64GB smartphone is selling for $300 between now and December 2nd at 3AM Eastern. That’s a full $100 below the official price, and tempting if you […]
Amazon cuts the price of the Google Pixel 3a to $299
[ad_1] We saw the Pixel 3a on sale for $349 last month, but the $100 drop to $299 means it’s never been cheaper. Similarly, the bigger Pixel 3a XL reached $429 previously, but is now on sale for $379.99 (a discount of $99.01). Not all color variants are enjoying those big discounts, though. The Just […]
Android 10 may reach Pixel phones on September 3rd
[ad_1] It’s not known if third-party phones will make the leap to Android 10 that quickly, although it’s not likely. Outside of brands like Essential, you’ll typically have to wait weeks or months for new revisions to reach your device. Betas have been available on phones from the likes of Huawei, LG, Nokia and OnePlus […]
It’s time to take Google’s Pixel phones more seriously
[ad_1] Of course, that can’t all be attributed to the Pixel 3a and Google hasn’t broken down what exactly pushed this growth. The pricier Pixel 3s have gone on sale a few times since their launch, which could have helped drive numbers up. But it’s almost a no-brainer: the company is selling more units, simply […]
iFixit peeks inside the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL to see what’s missing
[ad_1] Now that Google has come back to the midrange phone market, the folks at iFixit have peered inside the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL to see what you do (or don’t) get for your money. Just like their more expensive Pixel 3 counterparts, both of these pack Samsung OLED displays, as well as […]
Watch Google’s I/O 2019 keynote in 13 minutes
[ad_1] To say that Google had a busy I/O keynote would be an understatement. There were new Pixel phones and a Nest smart display, but those were really just the start. Google also had an avalanche of AI and software updates, including a next-gen Assistant, AR search and of course Android Q. That’s a lot […]
Google shows Apple and Samsung how ‘lite’ flagships are done
[ad_1] This trend in pricing was soon followed by the return of the “lite” flagship — watered down versions of the pricier phones that cost hundreds less. There’s last year’s iPhone XR, the Galaxy S10e and now, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL (side note: it’s nice that Google offers its affordable alternative in two […]
