> * 3a only has one front facing camera instead of dual front cameras.

Can take a wag at characterizing how much of an impact this would have on normal, day to day picture taking?

My wife and I are still on Pixel 1s, and we still love the camera.

Am I safe to assume that the single camera (and associated hardware/software that Google provides) on the Pixel 3a will be substantially better than the camera on the Pixel 1?

Thanks!

Note that this is the front camera, which most people only use for video calling and selfies. Personally, I've never used the front camera, so it having only a single lens doesn't really matter to me. Any serious photography will probably be with the rear dual-lens camera.

Ah, dumb mis-read on my part. Correct, that's a non-issue for us. Thank you!

To be clear there is only one lens on the rear of this pixel and every other pixel ever made. They have never had a dual-lens rear camera. The Pixel 3 had a front dual-camera but still just a single rear camera.

It has image stabilization and a less flare-prone design than the Pixel 1's camera which looks directly through the back glass.
