I thought the same, it's a good price for a phone with that camera - the cut back models also feature the night photo mode too, which I've heard good things about. If I hadn't recently got a new phone I'd be sorely tempted!

The 3a? No, its too much of a side step/downgrade from the Pixel 2XL that I have. Pixel 4 maybe. 02 had a refresh deal on the P3/XL for £400, cracking deal but I can't stand the bloody notch.....

Night sight is amazing! See that's another reason why I didn't go for the P3XL, its just not much of an upgrade from the 2XL and all the fancy software stuff has been added to the P2 anyway, well most of it, its really only the wide angle selfie lens and minor spec bump and that God awful notch that you're paying for.
