Recent smartphones are too expensive.For example, if your parents ask you to recommend it, you will never recommend a smartphone that costs more than 100,000 yen at a real price.Therefore, what I would like to review this time is "Google Pixel 3a" and "same XL" released by Google on May 8 with the catchphrase "High -performance models greatly".
Although the functions have been cut down to reduce the price, the actual user experience is as good as the top model "Google Pixel 3" and "Google Pixel 3 XL".This time, let's review from Pixel 3a/XL and Pixel 3/XL.
"Google Pixel 3a" (left), "Google Pixel 3a XL" (right)
The left is pixel 3a, and the right is Pixel 3a XL.Each color is available in three colors: Clearly White, Just Black, and Purple-ISH.
● List of direct sales prices in the Pixel series (tax included) Google pixel 3A (64GB) 48,600 yen Google pixel 3A XL (64GB) 60,000 yen Google pixel 3 (64/128GB) 95,000 yen/1007,000 yen Google Pixel 3XL (64/128GB) 119,000 yen/131,000 yen
SOC does not have Snapdragon 670pixel Visual Core
Pixel 3a/XL has a common specifications other than body size, display size, and battery capacity.SOC was announced on August 8, 2018 "Snapdragon 670" (8 core, 2).0GHz + 1.7GHz) is adopted.Memory (RAM) is 4GB and storage (ROM) is 64GB.
Both products are positioned as low -priced versions, but the choice of downgraded specifications is truly exquisite.OLED display, 12.2 million pixels back cameras with built -in optical transignment correction functions, "Active Edge", which holds Google Assistant, fingerprint authentication sensor, FeliCa, etc. are inherited from Pixel 3/XL.The back material has changed from Corning Gorilla Glass 5 soft touch glass to polycarbonate, but the texture is easy to adhere, but the texture is as good as the texture.
On the other hand, the downgraded or shaved functions are diverse as follows.However, it is not as good as the usability decisively.Although the SOC "Pixel Visual Core" for image processing and machine learning is not installed, "HDR+" and "Night view mode", which obtain a wide dynamic range by shooting and synthesized multiple images, can be used.
Pixel 3a/XL main changes ・ Not included Pixel Visual Core, HDR content playback not compatible ・ Front camera × 2 (view 75 degrees/97 degrees) → Front camera × 1 (view of 84 degrees) ・ Fixed focus on the front camera・ Omit spectrum sensor and flicker sensor of the back camera ・ Google Daydream view non -support ・ CORNING GORILLA GLASS 5 → Enhanced glass / dual -radiation stereo speaker → Stereo speaker / microphone × 3 → Maximum CAT16(1Gbps) → Maximum CAT11 (600Mbps) / USB Type-C 3.1 GEN 1 → USB Type-C 2.0 ・ IP68 → IP52 / earphone not included
What was a little disappointing personally was the portrait mode change angle of view.The angle of view changes when the camera is switched from the normal mode to the portrait mode, but the Pixel 3a/XL has a greater change.Therefore, if you want to shoot the subject in the same size as Pixel 3/XL, you need to be separated from the subject.You may find it inconvenient if you can't get a distance.
When shooting a portrait mode in the same size, the Pixel 3a XL on the right must be away from the subject from the left pixel 3 XL.
"Google Daydream View" is not available for Pixel 3a/XL
