along with the longest future support time are the Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 3 and

Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL are budget devices meeting the same security

standards as the more expensive flagship devices. Compared to the Pixel 3a and 3a XL,

the flagshig Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have wireless charging, dual front-facing

speakers, the Pixel Visual Core supporting HDR+ with compatible apps on GrapheneOS, a

higher-end screen, slightly more durable glass and of course a stronger CPU, GPU,

cellular radio, etc. You should get one of the budget devices if these things aren't

compelling to you. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL do have one extra feature: an analog

headphone port as an alternative to wireless audio and digital USB-C audio.</p>
