| [* black] Side-by-side the flagship Pixel 3 doesn't look all that different from the 3a. In fact returning to the seamless look is kinda nice. | |
| [* black] And that seamless case means screen-first entry into the phone—we're hoping this will mean easier screen repairs than we saw on the [guide|113656|Pixel 3|stepid=217262|new_window=true]. | |
| [* black] And what's this? Google managed to fit a headphone jack in here! This might be a stripped-down budget phone, but that's a pretty cool extra feature. | |
| [* black] From the back it's hard to tell the 3 and 3a apart. Everyone says that brittle glass back makes for a more premium handset, but we can't see the difference from here. | |
| [* black] Compared to its budget-minded contemporaries, the 3a takes the biggest leap away from its flagship siblings. | |
| - | [* black] Both the iPhone XR and Galaxy S10e basically stick to the mold of their respective flagship models, making just a few compromises to bring the price down just a little. The 3a, however, takes on a slower processor and plastic construction, among other changes, to bring the price down a ton. |
| - | [* icon_caution] If we use the 3rd comparison shot, we should photoshop the 10e from the Galaxy teardown to replace this one. Lighting the 10e evenly was proving to be tricky. |
