Pixel 3A

Google reported that they sold twice as many smartphones last quarter because of the Pixel 3a/3aXl line.

As a Pixel owner and user though it is not my main driver, I can say with ease that the Pixel is a great phone, especially  if you are a Google Fi subscriber.

By now, you know about the prowess of the Pixel camera which is the standard that all smartphone cameras are measured against. The only issue I have ever had with the Pixel was the price.

For some reason, Google decided to burden the Pixel with flagship prices which outside of the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy line people are not willing to fork over $850 and up for a phone.

Aside from that, Google is still new when it comes to selling phones, so the legacy, brand name, or even the trust factor is not there. And what have reputation they do have stems from the Nexus 6, which was not an expensive phone.

I was hoping that Google and other Smartphone manufacturers would take heed and release their phones at a lower price but only One Plus seems to be following suit.
