Most of this year has been about big flagship launches from major smartphone players. However, last month the mid-range Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL stole the show for a while. Mid-range phones are becoming increasingly capable and Google threw their camera prowess into the ring to make the market even more interesting.

Even the best mid-range phones make sacrifices. That’s the only way they can hit competitive price points. Pocketnow’s Jaime Rivera talks about how the Pixel 3a nails the essentials and does just enough to be almost everything you need. In this case, the essentials are a great camera and good battery life. For many people, that’s all a phone needs to do. He argues that it’s hard to find a better phone for $399. Do you agree?
