You’re then good to go and get your hands on one with immediate effects.

Google launched its 3a and 3a XL smartphone for those who need to have something life flagship without having to spend a fortune. The flagship smartphones, however, need to be loaded with the water-resistant feature. A smartphone with a water-resistant feature means it can survive underwater. There is a plethora of smartphones like Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and others that can survive when they fell into the water.
Can Pixel 3a Survive Under Water?
Based on reports shared on an official website, sadly, Google pixel 3a Water Resistant feature isn’t available that obviously means if your Google Pixel 3a drops accidentally into the water, be sure to grab it back as soon as possible. Be noted that a little amount of water on your phone may lead to a serious problem. The Google Pixel 3a XL is no different as well that means you’re not going to get any IP Rating (IP68 or IP53). However, some online sources have gone through Pixel 3a Waterproof Test and shared their opinions which are listed below. According to the sources, Google Pixel 3a cannot survive into the water but it can bear an occasional splash – good news for many of us. Its 12.2MP camera sensor, however, won’t be able to work under the water. Very much like its elder brother 3a XL, it’s not IP6X certified that clearly indicates that it’s not a water-resistant smartphone. Is the non-availability of the Pixel 3a Water Resistant feature Okay for you? Well, most of us can compromise on this feature especially when we get a lot of other features at unmatched rates. Compromising on this feature means you get a better video recording, impressive battery, vivid and punchy display and, of course, up to snuff performance alongside the latest Android OS.
