Google just took the wraps off its latest smartphone: the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A, a cheaper version of its flagship 推薦收購手機pixel phone that starts at just $400, or roughly half of what the more powerful 推薦收購手機pixel 3 costs.

If you want to know whether the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A is good, I’d recommend reading my colleague Dieter Bohn’s review (spoiler: it’s very good, especially for the price). But the question isn’t whether the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A is good — it’s whether the regular 推薦收購手機pixel 3 (and 推薦收購手機pixel 3 XL) are good enough to justify spending twice as much.

First off, let’s get to the biggest difference: the processor. Simply put, the 推薦收購手機pixel 3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, a flagship-class Android processor (even if it is last year’s model). The 推薦收購手機pixel 3A has a Snapdragon 670 chipset — it’s good, but it’s not the best, and the 推薦收購手機pixel 3 will be faster to launch apps, load webpages, and process more effect-laden pictures. If that’s $400 worth of a dealbreaker for you, stick with the 推薦收購手機pixel 3.

The screens on the pricier 推薦收購手機pixels are also better, using Corning’s higher-quality Gorilla Glass instead of the Dragontrail glass on the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A. And the build quality on the more premium phones is nicer too: the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A is largely made of polycarbonate. It’s also not water resistant, and lacks wireless charging (although it does have a headphone jack, which its pricier sibling lacks).

And of course, there’s the rear camera, which is nearly the same for the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A as the 推薦收購手機pixel 3, including Google’s much vaunted Night Sight feature — probably the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A’s biggest sell, and undoubtably the best smartphone camera on a phone in this price range.

If you’ve got a 推薦收購手機pixel 2, we’ve included that here as well, should you be considering an upgrade. Unless you really miss a headphone jack, though, you’re probably better off just waiting for Google to release an updated flagship 推薦收購手機pixel in the fall (especially if you’re on a two-year installment plan and bought your 推薦收購手機pixel 2 in October 2017 when it first launched).

Ultimately, though, hard specs won’t ever tell the whole story, but at least at a bird’s-eye glance, there’s a lot more in common between the 推薦收購手機pixel 3 and the 推薦收購手機pixel 3A than is different. And for a device that costs half as much, that’s a pretty good place to start.
