The polycarbonate body is the first hint of the cost-cutting measures Google has taken to shrink the Pixel 3’s flagship price down to midrange levels. Connectivity: USB-C, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.0.
The rear part of the Pixel 3a phones is made of polycarbonate, unlike the all-glass Pixel 3 and 3 XL. The main difference is in build materials. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL are essentially carbon-copies of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL - for the 3a XL, Google chose to omit the Pixel 3 XL’s horrendous notch. Every Pixel revealed so far has tended to split opinion where design is concerned, and that’s not going to change with the Pixel 3a.
