Google Pixel 3a Smartphone (G020E) GSM Unlocked + Verizon - 64GB / Just Black (Renewed)

Bought for my son. He loves it. Perfect size, looks great, to be an older model it has plenty of features, functions great & good sound. He's able to download & update all his apps. Compatible with everything he needs it for.

This refurbished Pixel 3a arrived safely and appears perfectly new. No documentation accompanied the shipment, but once the phone was turned on I was guided to setup which included tethering to my old phone to upload contacts and apps. Very smooth procedure. No SIM card with the phone and my old one does not fit, but my local Verizon store took care of it in just a few moments and I was up and running. This was a transition from a very old phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) and the rep at Verizon told me that I would not be able to go back to my old phone in the future. This was news to me, not that I want to, but I had expected to have the old phone as backup and this appears not to be possible. The explanation I received is that the old phone is 3/4G and Verizon is moving to 4/5G. Why there is no "overlap" in the 4G range is something I don't understand and can only speculate about. In fairness, however, it is hard to see myself ever wanting to go back to my old phone just because the Pixel 3a is really a pleasure to use. Apps seem to run almost instantaneously. I can't really offer a detailed review of the Pixel 3a any further than that. The seamless integration with all things Google is a bit scary in the abstract, but the experience of that integration is a bit addictive. I'm glad I bought this phone and the experience with the vendor was fine. The free shipping was punishingly slow, but it was free, so...

Got exactly what I expected out of it. Worked fine and was physically in good condition.

This phone is exactly what I was looking for. There were zero scratches or damage. It looks brand new I bought this one to replace my previous Pixel 3a (after dropping it on a surface that shattered my screen). The interface is very smooth and intuitive. The size fits nicely in my hand and pockets (as a smaller person, this is a deal-breaker). The price is more than reasonable--especially for the quality you get. The camera works great, and it seems to have the same basic battery life of my previous Pixel. I listen to a lot of podcasts at work, so I only make it one day on a full charge. But I simply plug it in every night. The phone shipped quickly and actually arrived early. It was well packaged and came with a charger. But not an adapter for transferring data from your previous phone (luckily, I have one from a previous phone) There are some reviews that the phones weren't fully unlocked or didn't work with their network. My phone worked perfectly with my carrier (Ting) which runs on a CDMA network. I definitely recommend the Pixel 3a to anyone looking for a decently sized phone.

I purchased a refurbished pixel 3a (g020e) from the seller CrownProducts, for some reason the same listing that it says I purchase it from is a different seller less than a week later (Prime Mobility). The sketchiness doesn't even stop there. The listing said it would include an AC Adapter, USB-C to C Cable, OTG Dongle, SIM tool, and Quick Start Guide. Nope. It came with an extremely dirty used unbranded USB-A to USB-C cable, a used lens rag, and a small Google box that had been poorly retaped shut. I needed a phone, so I continued working with it. The phone had bootloader unlocked. Major red flag, but I continued. I performed a factory reset, relocked bootloader (not at all easy you practically need a PHD to perform this without bricking the phone), and begun using the phone. I have now found that the camera and flashlight do not work. What a horrible experience. Maybe the seller will make things right, but highly doubtful. My trust with Amazon and these miscellaneous sellers is completely gone.

I bought one of these when they first came out. Dropped it off a rollercoaster a couple weeks ago and needed a new phone ASAP. Under the pressure to buy something that day, I decided to go back to the Pixel 3a well, and for $100 they still don't disappoint! No signs of slowing down after 3 years. Maybe a little degradation of the batter life. Great camera. Very durable too. The rollercoaster wasn't the first time I dropped that thing. Concrete, the floor, whatever. Only ever scuffed up the plastic corners but never shattered the glass. And that's without a case! There's no reason to spend more than $100 if you just need a solid workhorse of a phone.

I don't know about you guys, but mine did not show up in "excellent" condition as advertised. The charging port, microphone and speaker grilled were filthy, and it was not in the OEM box. Accessories were missing too: there was no OTG adapter, SIM eject tool or transfer cable. And the battery was absolutely thrashed and not new as advertised.

I went back to Android (again) this time when replacing my old iPhone 6S Plus. The Pixel 3a sacrifices a miniscule amount of screen size (not enough to matter in my case, and makes the phone easier to hold in one hand) and some ease of use/setup (especially when trying to communicate with my iOS friends via text at first, and some hiccups getting it to play with Android Auto in my car), but offers most of the basic functionality of the iPhone, with a camera that's easier to use well (night mode is pretty impressive when trying to capture the night sky), Google call screening (has saved me unquantifiable annoyance, no longer having to deal directly with all those scam robocalls), and at a fraction of the price of an iPhone. And there are guaranteed OS updates from Google, which can't be said for most other Android phones out there. I've had this for several months now and overall I'm very happy with it. I'll probably stick with Pixels for the foreseeable future, at least until Apple can catch up on the call screening feature. That alone is an iPhone killer for me.

Its exactly what I wanted
