Pixel 2 vs Pixel 3a

Swappasaurus says...

Google released the Pixel 3a as a more affordable option in the Pixel 3 family. And ultimately, the Pixel 3a served as a nice upgrade path for those coming from the Pixel 2. The Pixel 3a arrived featuring a 5.6-inch FHD+ OLED display, with a 3000 mAh battery, and a polycarbonate unibody design. The Pixel 3a did have less internal storage, going to 64GB only, but it also has 4GB of RAM and a capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 process with the Titan M security module. Perhaps key for many, the Pixel 3a has an overall camera experience that is similar to the Pixel 2, with a 12.2MP dual-pixel rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera.
