Google recently launched the stripped-down variants of its premium Pixel 3 phones and while it’s a given that the company has had to cut corners, a picture doing rounds on social media indicates that the handsets could be a botched job. Sure, with the same rear camera hardware, they might inherit Pixel 3’s imaging capabilities, and Google has also optimized the mid-tier chipset to be at the top of its game, it appears that the build quality of the Pixel 3a phone wasn’t a priority for the company.

Twitter user Erica Griffin shared an image and states that the cutout for USB-C port on her Pixel 3a is not aligned with the connector itself. That’s not all, as the cutouts for the microphone and the bottom speaker also seem crooked. Moreover, it appears that all the holes are tilted upwards and not aligned with the polycarbonate unibody.
