Google pixel 3a xl after a month of using it

Have been using Google pixel 3a XL for a month now. How do I like it?

Well, as always, let's just jump right into what really matters probably to most of us.

Battery life

First battery life. I am on a rather heavy user of the phone and my previous phone used to last through only 8 hours and must be charged at night. With Google pixel 3a XL, I do not have worry about charging at night. Well, in general after full day of use, I am still left with about 40 percent of the battery or more.

Fast charging

Works fine. I can not say I have really seen it charge to 70 per from 10 per in 20 minutes. But yes 10 to 50+ percent in a span of 15 or 20 minutes of charging is my observation. Well overall that's quite something and I am happy.

Responsiveness

Well, Pixel 3a or 3a XL do not use the Qualcomm's Premier tier chips but yet the responsiveness is not something that bothers me at all. It's pretty fast for what it does and never sluggish.

Camera

OMG, what can I say about the camera that's not already said in probably several hundred reviews already. Camera is just phenomenal. And you ask what about t=night mode camera? Well, it's just unbelievable. You ask what about the shake when you take the pic? Well, my hands shake a lot when taking a photo or even lifting the coffee cup for that matter.

We went for a camping trip this memorial weekend and you guys know how much light is really there at the night time. I used my Google Pixel 3a XL to take some night shots. Hey including the front facing camera. So what the camera does here is captures a few shots for you. You can later decide if you wanna keep both or just one of those shots. You can in-fact clearly tell the best shot in most cases.

Out of that camping trip, night shots captured by my Google Pixel 3a XL came out outstanding and every one was impressed. I was asked to take every single night shot there. In-fact it got extended to any photo that needed to be taken was to be taken on my phone.

Summary

So in a month of using the phone, I am kind of happy so far with my purchase. A few things which are of prime importance to me seem to be working well and better than my initial expectations. What more to ask? Oh, and another note, I have not seen any random restart of the phone in a month as well. So, in summary, happy with the overall performance and extremely happy with the exceptional camera.

Which credit cards you must have in your wallet

So what all cards you must have in your pocket. Well, there are so many but we are not here to talk about all of them but the ones absolutely must. But before we get to the details, you need to think about what you really like to get out of your credit cards. Cash back or points that you could use. I always liked cash back until, I started seeing the benefits of the points on some of the cards. In this case, I am talking about Chase Sapphire reserve card. Remember that offering from Chase when they launched the card. Well, I opted in and was handsomely rewarded with points and was able to book my travels on those points and in-fact booked my Hawaii tickets for 4 on the points itself not paying a penny from my pocket. Now you may ask that all this sounds good but what card to start with and how to earn the points? We are going to start with a card with hefty points offering to start with but more importantly that has a way to keep earning you more points. Her...

How to organize your bikes in the garage

I had my bikes sitting on the side of garage taking much of space which I did not like a bit. I was so much inclined to put the bikes away to make room for my table tennis table that I researched several different options available in the market. Let's take a look at some of them in the increasing order of my preference 4. Stack them This is your option if you prefer to stack the bikes. For me this was going to take much of the wall space which I did not have enough of. So I decided to give it a pass. 3. Wall hanging rack - multiple bikes If you have a small space available in your garage on a wall, this could be one option to look at. This versatile easy to install rack is compact and can be installed fairly easily, if you have the right tools. I was able to put it together in 30 minutes and my bikes were put away on the wall, hanging nicely. It might be tempting to install the rack higher up but that's exactly what you should not do. B...

Which phone case to buy for your awesome Google Pixel 3a XL

So you got your new shiny Google Pixel 3a XL but not sure what case to buy to protect it yet flaunt the curves it has? Again, you are in the right spot. There are several covers out there and pretty cheap and very costly ones too. There are just so many of them with awesome features and styles that it's confusing which one to go for. Well after spending my fair share of time on this, I finally asked myself a question. What do I really want my phone cover to do apart from protecting the phone? Well that's the primary use case anyway. It's good to have the cover hold a credit card and may be a licence as well for the moments when you do not want to carry your wallet around or have a cover that protects the back as well as the front of the phone. After thinking for a while, I decided on a few must haves 1. Quick access to the screen, since I am a very heavy user of the phone 2. Bought a white phone for a reason so do want to flaunt the colors ...
