What are we thinking guys? Are the developers going to support our skip this device? I hope work the low cost we can lure some of the devs from higher priced flagships but with the lower specs will they take the device seriously? Let me know what you think.

Of course it will. That's kind of a silly question. The x4 is getting support, and this phone already has far more appeal.

Usually the more popular budget style phones get a lot of dev support. I would be surprised if this one doesnt.
I tend to agree with you. It really brings back shades of the Nexus 5 with this price point. Also, VZW is not the sole carrier and BB along with others is selling it for basically $299 after credits / gift cards. The only 2 things that slightly bother me is the lack of waterproof and no wireless charging neither of which is a deal breaker. I'm curious what they look like so I'll head over to BB later. Now comes the question, will there be a Pixel 4a and what will that be like?

I was kinda bummed about wireless charging but I just put a wireless charging receiver on it from Amazon and it charges surprisingly fast.

i saw a teardown and it seems they may have sealed the phone and just opted to not get it an ip rating to save cost(one plus does this)

I bit the bullet after your recommendation and bought one today. I always have 2 phones and two lines.. just because. I traded in my 5X and had a $125 store credit and got mine for about a buck fifty after rebate. My other car is a Benz. Lol. J/k I have a Pixel 3 in hand. Went to Best Buy today, took one look and feel of the 3a and bought it in the parking lot.

Awesome brother, yeah I have not regretted buying my 3a. I had the Pixel 3 when it first came out and sold it for a used Galaxy S9 and a OnePlus6T which were both better than the Pixel 3. There isnt anything that I miss from my Pixel 3 to this Pixel 3a,,,all of the good features are here. Plus with the addition of a wireless charging receiver from Amazon for 9 bucks I am all good LOL.

For sure.



The Pixel 3A has already booted on DU and Carbon. TWRP trees exist for it too. They just aren't finished, but they work.
Yeah I saw the du post. Excited. But that was for the xl. I would assume they share the same source but I'm not positive. Flar says there are hardware differences over on the ex thread.
