Great phone!!

Great phone!! little to no bloatware eating your internal memory. Spectacular rear camera!!!! 3 years of OS updates (from 5/2019)
so it will stay current for a couple more years. One of the best cameras on the market no matter the price point per ALOT of tech sites and they weren't wrong. Almost half the price of the Pixel 4 and no significant difference imo. Decent battery life. The unlocked phone WILL WORK with Metro by T-mobile (Metro PCS) despite what Metro will tell you, because lets face it, they want you to buy phones from them. No regrets at all.

Very Happy!!

So, my wife and I have had budget phones for a while through Metro PCS. We love the service, but wanted to step up in devices. So after some deliberation, we decided on the unlocked Pixel 3a. We looked at the specs between this and the Pixel 4. The difference were minimal to us. We had the LG Stylo 4, so either Pixel is a major upgrade from that. But this is a great device. Virtually no bloatware which eats up memory, so that is great. The screen is much better, the response is very snappy and having guaranteed OS updates for 3 years (from release date 5/2019) we know we will be covered for a couple more years. The rear camera on these are insane!! The "portrait mode" on this is so cool. Makes the pictures look like there are from an SLR camera by focusing on the foreground and the backround is out of focus on purpose, very cool effect. There is also "night mode" which works very well also. Basically you can take pictures where the person may be backlit and no flash is needed and it looks like the flash was used which is also fantastic. We prefer having the fingerprint scanner on the 3a vs the 4 which uses face recognition to unlock. The Battery life is pretty good too. Overall this is a great step up from what we had, although we do miss the stylus, but we are not looking back at all. We saved some money going with last years 3a vs the 4 (almost half the price) and the OS is still supported for 2 more years. Can't go wrong. Finally, this unlocked phone CAN be used with Metro PCS despite what Metro tells you.

Did you update the firmware? Also there is a Samsung APP called SmartThings it is alot more robust than the remote. Once I used the App to adjust the sound....HOLY COW it sounds beautiful. I have vaulted cielings so we dont get full sound of the Atmos, but it is a clear soundbar and the Sub hits low without it being a muddy boomy sound. It compliments the sound bar vs over powers it. There are modes in the app like space fit and voice enhance that really help out our open concept living room/kitchen. Update the firmware and download the app. Hopefully you will like this set up after tweaking the EQ and other settings

Unimpressed
By JimB
Not as impressive as I hoped. Volume weak….bass weak….does not immerse our family room. Would only recommend in a small room (less than ~400 sqft). Also - struggles to keep sync/Bluetooth connected to multiple devices…so frustrating to use daily.

Download the Samsung SmartThings APP. There are a lot of settings you can change to your liking. It sounds fantastic. Also a firmware update through the APP wouldn't be a bad idea if you haven't updated it at all

When using the mic will I be able to hear myself? I have a cheaper headset right now and I don't get audio feedback while I'm talking. Also can I adjust the chat volume from others, separately from game audio?

I'm lookin to expand PS5 memory. So other than being "licensed by PS5" and having a blue LED instead of red. I don't see any difference with the 1 TB WDBAPZ0010BNC that is currently less expensive. Am I missing something?

Are there wall mounts for the rear speakers? I have Vizio soundbar with rear satelites from 2-3 years ago that have wall mounts for them, do those wall mounts fit this new system?

Does bass sounds better than Bose qc35ii?

Honestly, go to a BB store and listen for yourself. It is completely subjective, every person hears differently. What may be perfect for you, will be too much or not enough to someone else. The app for these are great and does have an EQ you can adjust to your liking (and update firmware)

I have had the Sony Sony - 1000X since 2017 and use them almost daily. I am interested in the WH-1000XM3 but concerned about the number of reported pairs breaking. Is this a known design issue and if so is it being fixed. Thanks

The design is fine. Of the ones that are breaking, I just wonder how careless or rough people are with them. I read one review where they were upset they broke after falling asleep with them on. Well...duh. I have the XM2 and now the XM3, and both are in great shape, because I treat them as a $300 [air of headphones should be treated.

Can I use this to watch TV?

As long as your TV has Blutooth or a headphone jack (but you would prob. need a really long cable for that)

Have this system paired with a Sony 950G, set up just as instructed on manual. But when playing a 4k, reg. blu ray, the tv displays “unsupported audio signal, check device output” throughout the movie. Done everything possible, please help before I return

Another issue could be bad/poor HDMI cables. Don't use the ones they send with the devices, they are low grade. You can get monoprice premium certified HDMI cables from "the largest online retailer" for under $10/pair.

Does your tv have "ARC"? If so try to run HDMI from TV ARC to soundbar ARC and 4K player HDMI to "HDMI input" on sound bar. Set soundbar to ARC input. Reboot everything. Also double check that digital audio out signal form both TV and player are set to Bitstream. Otherwise Google knows all, or look on AVS forums (home theater forum) or post your question there.

Where does the sub-woofer need to sit? Can it sit in the back with the small speakers so there are not cables run all over the floor? If it has to sit in the front it seems you would have speaker wires running all over the place.

LFE or "Subs" are non directional . Normal speakers sound is directional and should be pointed towards the listening field. (which is why you can hear the low boom of car stereos in someone else's car, but cant really hear the actual music/lyrics) But Subs can honestly be placed anywhere, although alot of people will place them in corners to maximize the sound. But with a sub this size, it isn't necessary to do so.
