My biggest Issue with this phone: the Alarm.
At least with the standard alarm tones that come with this phone. I had the same issue with Samsung back in the day (the Galaxy S4), where the Loudness + Vibration intensity just isn't enough to wake me up consistently. I had always had luck with HTC phones (Evo 4G LTE, M9, and U11), but this Pixel 3a XL leaves me sleeping through at least one alarm a morning. And it's not that it keeps going, or auto-snoozes. All you get is a notification for a missed alarm.
It does have the ability to wake you up with spotify, or add your own sounds, so I may have better luck trying those options.

Have had this phone for 5 days, and pretty darn happy with it.
Pros:
Battery Life
Camera is legit as hell.
It's no slower than my HTC U11 was, so I feel like it's pretty snappy.
The display is pretty great, and always on feature is cool (my first time having it).
I'm a fan of bezels, and I like the size of these! Upper and lower are the same size, and really, if the screen was any bigger, it'd be too big.
The fast charger on this thing it amazing, not that I've had to use it outside of the first day.
The call screening feature is pretty damn cool.
Meh:
Stereo speakers are loud, but not great quality at high levels.
Doesn't connect to my older, cheap Bluetooth headphones (the right ear bud quit, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lost the ability to connect to any new device tbh).
Doesn't work with my old HTC USB-C Earphones (might be an HTC issue tho).
Android Pie is taking a bit to get used to (but Q is only 1 or 2 months away, and I won't be waiting around to get it).
Con:
Already ran into the 'Sleep Bug' and needed to hard restart it. Hoping it's an uncommon occurrence until it gets fixed (get on it Google!!). Trying my best to keep it out of my pocket so the always on feature blocks it from sleeping. It's not making me regret my decision to buy, but I guess I'll have to get back with you all on that...
If you are in the USA, I still think it's too difficult to find a better phone for under $500. And carrier deals make it even more affordable. Camera, battery, no bloatware, and instant android updates were too much for me to pass up last week, and a week in I'm still on board!
