Where did I mention XL? From what Neoboy has been saying (like the Pixel has 2,900mAh) he's talking about the 3.

V_R · 2 May 2019 at 15:29

Ah my bad, I was talking XL and assumed he was too.

According to GSMArena, the battery is only 85mAh more in the 3a. I would agree with others, the 3 at the crazy price it was would have been a better option, with the money you saved (buying a better phone!) you could have got some good Bluetooth headphones

You going to use the galaxy buds Andy ? Saw your review, I am still keen on them but I am guessing better options for the money ?

No, they're back on the MM already! Prefer my Jabra's, although I'm tempted to try Aftershokz Trekz Air for working out.

_Jimlad_ · 2 May 2019 at 16:24

I will have a look !

I use my Samsung Buds with the Pixel 3 that i got and i cant tell any difference in sound quality between the usage of the 2 phones. I did install the Samsung Wear App on my Pixel though. They can be had brand new for about £60-65 if you look hard enough.

Cheers got some coming this weekend.

Free chrome book with pixel 3a or 3a xl

neoboy · 7 May 2019 at 14:15

Sounds like one of those US only offers, we'll find out today I guess.

Full specs are leaked again not that they were particularly a secret. They even packed an OLED screen into this instead of a cheaper IPS. So at a glance the difference between this and full flavour Pixel 3 will be possibly not as nice but still OLED screen, SoC and one less selfie camera? Battery in this is only marginally bigger but should last longer with a midrange SoC hopefully.

It's in Carphone tomorrow

Ah well that explains it, they are the most expensive re-seller out there

don't tell me, the cheapest crappiest one on the market?

My friend is actually after a new phone and laptop....so...

neoboy · 7 May 2019 at 20:02

No doubt it will be the cheapest one and also require an overpriced 24 month contract

The Verge already have a review up, guess we'll see more popping up today. Essentially seems as expected, great Pixel camera and pure Android experience in a package with less bells and whistles. All with a headphone jack too

And slow

Not shabby but a shame about 11" screen size on the Chromebook, little too small. Also looks like quite a few other retailers are offering it.

Although looks like Google are offering free Nest Hub directly from their site which might be better offer for some.

Pigeon_Killer · 7 May 2019 at 21:02

Disappointed the new Assistant seems to be exclusive to the Pixel 4, that looks a big step forward.

3a looks nice though and it appears to be competitively priced unlike the 3 and 3 XL.

V_R · 7 May 2019 at 21:21

Android Q Beta DP3 is out now.

_Jimlad_ · 7 May 2019 at 22:15

Price point is still very wrong on the 3a. This should be a sub £300 device. Why not make it that instead of bundling a chrome book with it. Even the jump from 3a to 3axl price is to much.

Silly really. Google really do need to look at pricing considering they are all about the technology and software not the hardware.
