The
5.6-inch Pixel 3a and the 6-inch Pixel 3a XL is priced at Rs 39,999
and Rs 44,999, respectively.
Business
Standard : Search engine and technology giant Google
on Tuesday announced the Pixel 3a-series at its annual developer
conference – Google I/O 2019. The affordable-premium series
includes the Google 3a with a 5.6-inch screen and the Google 3a XL
with a 6-inch screen, priced at Rs 39,999 and Rs 44,999,
respectively.
From
premium imaging to clutter free up-to-date vanilla Android
experience, the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL share characteristics
with their elder siblings, the Google
Pixel 3 (review) and the Google Pixel 3 XL (review). However,
being low-cost models, both the phones trade off some premium
features such as glass body, high resolution screen, premium
processor, and IP rating for water and dust resistance.
Here
is what the Google Pixel 3a-series offers:
Display
The
Pixel
3a and the Pixel 3a XL sport a 5.6-inch and 6-inch screen,
respectively. Both the phones boast OLED screen of fullHD+ resolution
stretched in 18:9 aspect ratio. The screen supports ‘always-on’
feature in which it shows relevant information such as time, app
notifications, alarm, etc. when the device is locked. The screen is
protected by Asahi Dragontrail glass.
Camera
If
you liked the camera in the Pixel 3-series, you are in for a treat.
Both the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL boast similar camera modules on
the back that are there in the premium Pixel 3-series. The phones
boast a 12.2-megapixel shooter of f/1.8 aperture.
The sensor is
assisted by optical image stabilisation (OIS) and boasts dual pixel
phase detection auto focus (PDAF) technology. The camera interface
features Google’s ‘Night Sight’ mode, which improves the
phones’ low-light imaging drastically – as seen in the Pixel
3-series.
The
front camera, on the other hand, is a different story. The phones do
not have a secondary ultra-wide angle sensor that is there in the
premium Pixel 3-series. Instead, both the phones have a wide-angle
(84-degree) 8MP sensor of f/2.0 aperture.
Processor,
RAM, and storage
Both
the smartphones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 system-on-chip
(SoC), a 10NM-based midrange processor with eight Kryo 360 cores
paired with Adreno 616 graphic processing unit (GPU). Both the phones
come in a sole RAM and storage variant, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage that
is.
