Those upgrading from a Google Pixel to a Pixel 3a will be getting a solid upgrade experience. The display size will increase from 5.0-inches to 5.6-inches. The Pixel 3a also features a 3000 mAh battery, Active Edge technology, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage space. The front-facing camera setup was similar between the Pixel and Pixel 3a, however, the rear-facing camera went from a 12.3MP to a 12.2MP dual-pixel setup. The Pixel 3a also included several additional camera-related features to include Top Shot, Portrait Mode, Motion Auto Focus, and Super Res Zoom.
