Google pixel 3a vs Motorola one action, which one to buy?

IAnthonyFX

Should I get a motorola one action (128gb for 250 usd) or a pixel 3a (64 gb, 300 usd).
I just one a decent phone for the next 3 years.

Why not just go for a used Snapdragon 845 device? Razer Phone 2s are really cheap, but may have some QC issues.

S9s and S9+s are around that price range, Note 9 is around $350

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Decent phone for next 3 years?  Could look at the Moto G7 new or the Pixel 2 XL's on Swappa (they're going for a really good price).  Otherwise if you don't hate notches the Moto G7 power has a 5000 mah battery, so that's pretty dope.

 

Between the two phones you listed I personally favor the pixel 3a because much better camera app, google benefits like fast updates, and the screens are pretty good too.

What are you looking for in a phone?

Why these 2 specifically?

What are you currently using?

What did you like about it?

What did you not like about it?

What made you want a new phone?

 

The PIxel 3a is a terrible phone. Battery is piss small. 64GB of internal storage that cannot be expanded. If you think cloud storage is a fix, its not so simple. You need constant access to the internet and speeds matter. If you are away from home, you will need to use data to save to the cloud, and then use data again to download to access. Poor reception? No reception? Data caps too small? Problems.

Currently I use a Huawei mate 9 64gb. I like the battery, the only reason I want to upgrade is because I have been using for half a year it with an awfully shattered screen and I am not getting any updates
