Let me start by saying that I've never used an iPhone. I have had a couple of the Galaxy S series phones but that was several years back (3&4). I have been buying unlocked phones online for the last few purchases.
I really like the Motorola/Lenovo line of unlocked mid-level hardware phones. The phones work well but the hardware was uninspiring.
My last three unlocked phones were an Essential PH-1, Honor 7+ and a OnePlus 6T. Of those 3 it's hard to beat the 6T. Hardware is premium and the phone works well. The Essential phone felt great but the camera was average. I dropped the phone a few times and although the screen never cracked (it was in a case) the digitizer stopped responding. So, this was my replacement option.
I really like this phone. The camera is pretty amazing for a 300 dollar phone. I challenge anyone to show me a phone at this price point with a better camera experience. I will say that I've noticed a 'processing' message in the bottom left corner of the camera interface when taking pictures under less than ideal conditions. I can only assume that is the software processing the images through whatever algorithm the Google engineers have come up with to create such strong results from a single camera. I assume that the top line Pixel phones with their higher end processors will be a little quicker in performing this function. I haven't found it to be an issue though.
Although this is the cheaper of the pixel line of phones, it actually feels pretty solid. I'll try to update the review with a couple of non personal photos soon.
I find the battery life to be adequate. It's not the best but I feel like it's good enough.
If you want a phone with a pure Android experience, solid financial value and an amazing camera experience, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal than the Pixel 3A.

In 2023, this is a good backup or experimental phone
February 6th 2023 - 12:30amAfter some careful research, I decided to purchase a Google Pixel 3a [with 64GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Clearly White] to install the Ubuntu Touch OS on it, so once the UT people get VoLTE (Voice Over LTE or 4G) figured out, I'll have a phone that is completely free of Apple or Google data hoarding.Short Story:Got UT on the phone, but it was a huge pain in the ass to do, and I'm waiting for that VoLTE upgrade. Minus one star for the inconveniences.Long Story:The Pixel 3a is a sweet little phone. Can't upgrade the storage but it has an audio and USB-C ports. The worst part of the phone is that it's married to Google. Hmf. Plus, even though my new 3a came directly from Google, it came installed with Android 10 and the OEM Unlock option greyed out. UGH! This meant before I flash Ubuntu Touch on my phone, I'd have to unlock the OEM unlock and downgrade to Android 9... Google really doesn't want you playing with YOUR electronics...It took a long weekend and a lot of failures, but I finally got Ubuntu Touch on my 3a (no paying a third party to do it either). It's a nice little clutter-free OS, and while most big 3rd party apps are unavailable -- you can download YouTube and Gmail apps if you want; I'm going to try out ProtonMail --the included apps and the ones from the OpenStore give you basic functionality. While I haven't tested a sim or phone service yet (expecting a needed OS update to get VoLTE up an running to work in the US), WiFi works great on the phone and you can manually set up a VPN if you need it.Although the UBPorts website the phone os working 100%, there's that VoLTE issue and my fingerprint reader isn't working, also I had to download the uTorch app to get the phone's flash to work as a flashlight. Still... the ability to have a small private Linux-but-Google-free computer (yes, allegedly you can bluetooth/dock a keyboard and monitor) that can (hopefully) make phone calls is a pretty amazing feat in 2023.I'll update this review when I decide to try my T-Mobile sim on the phone, if only to transfer my contacts.UPDATE Feb 6th, 2023 1:25am:Good news! I switched my T-Mobile sim to my 3a and was able to make phone calls! I had to jump through a hoop or two to move my phone contacts, but they're usable now too. Successfully called a closed pizza place (got voice mail) and called my insurance company (voice mail again). The fingerprint reader seemed to activate and worked after I swapped my sim into the 3a (??). All I need is a new sim from one of the pay-as-you-go companies and I have a more-private phone -- won't call it a burner; I don't think they really exist anymore, but this phone now upsets the data hoarders so I'm happy. :P
