Some similarly-priced phones, such as those from Honor and Huawei, do boast faster charging. However, by using the USB-C PD standard, you’re not forced to use the bundled charging to get those speeds. Any PD adapter will achieve these fast-charging speeds, including a Nintendo Switch or MacBook Air charger. Google’s own version of Android is the best software but bugs remain A wildlife camera’s protection against water ingress is measured using the IP (ingress protection) scale. Even when there’s very little light available, during cloudy nights for example, the camera is able to produce clear pictures using its low-light-recording features. These include no-glow LEDs and a large lens aperture. It records using a resolution of 1080p, which equates to approximately 2MP, at a rate of 30 frames per second. After being closed for around 13 hours, the tunnel finally reopened, at around 3.40pm on Thursday. The closure on the A3 was due to a traffic light "technical fault". The incident was first reported by traffic monitoring service, Inrix in the early hours of the morning.

There is a 2X zoom shortcut on the viewfinder even though the Xiaomi Mi A3 doesn't come with a telephoto snapper. If you shoot in this 2X mode, you will get a digitally zoomed and cropped picture. The Snapdragon 670 is no slouch in performance terms, and it’s supported here by 4GB of RAM here – although this, too, now feels like the minimum amount needed to run Android well.

The X-A3's LCD screen with 180-degree tilt presents some nifty usability options. For example, you can use the X-A3 to take selfies by turning the LCD screen 180-degrees and pulling it up slightly so that you can see your entire mug (albeit upside-down, but it's enough for framing purposes). Its 'smile mode' for selfies works really well, although in our tests it was also triggered by some random inanimate objects that definitely weren't smiling. If a camera describes itself as “1080p”, this isn’t referring to the total number of pixels used for recording. “1080” refers to the size of the camera frame. When HD TVs first came out, they had a standard frame of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Therefore, “1080” is often associated with HD quality. If a camera says “1080p” then it will be approximately 2MP. It doesn’t shoot as fast as the Pixel 3, plus there’s significantly more lag when navigating the camera app and jumping between modes, but I’m super-impressed by the quality of the images. Detail is fantastic, that familiar contrasty-style of previous Pixel phones remains and even the Portrait mode offers a clean bokeh effect around challenging elements like hair and glasses. The busiest locations on the A3 are usually those near urban areas, where traffic congestion is expected during peak hours.According to Google Maps, some of the busiest places on the A3 as of April 2023 are between Tolworth and Esher in Surrey, where the road meets the A240 and the A244; between Guildford and Hindhead in Surrey, where the road meets the A31 and passes through the Hindhead Tunnel; and between Waterlooville and Portsmouth in Hampshire, where the road meets the A27 and enters the city.

Where I fear things might deteriorate is in a few months and years down the line. I haven’t been entirely convinced by how well Pixel phones perform over the course of a two-year contract and switching to a less-powerful chipset has the potential to make such issues more obvious. Pixel 3a battery life is as expected, matching the pricier Pixel 3

Fujifilm is clearly aiming this advanced compact at those who love taking photos – including plenty of selfies – and who are ready to make the jump from their smartphone to a 'proper' camera. Kingston upon Thames: The A3 enters the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames just before Kingston Vale, where there is a junction with the A308 for Kingston upon Thames and Richmond Park.The A3 then bypasses Kingston upon Thames to the east, passing by Tolworth and Hook. There isn't a benefit of shooting in 48MP and then manually resizing down to 12MP either - you won't get more detail or sharper image. And saving in 48MP is a slower and costly task - one image eats about 30MB of your storage. A trigger speed that’s too slow will mean you may miss wildlife altogether – by the time the camera has taken a photo, the animal will already have disappeared.

Guildford and Godalming Bypass - This route is rather old with narrow one lane roads that join onto the A3. As this road does need updating, go at a steady pace when merging. Photos and videos are recorded to a microSD card and you can plug the camera into your computer directly via USB. The camera can be powered by a set of eight AA batteries or via an external power input.

Low glow flashes emit 850nm wavelength light, which although almost invisible to the naked eye can cause the lamp to glow a dim red, potentially disturbing highly sensitive animals. No glow flashes emit 940nm wavelength light which is completely invisible, running no risk of scaring wildlife. While no glow flashes are more discreet they’re often not as bright, resulting in a shorter effective flash range, and they’re almost always more expensive than the low glow equivalent. If you want a handset with a great camera and decent screen but aren’t so fussed about sheer speed and performance, then you’ll be very happy with the Pixel 3a.On the right-hand side of the camera is a rigid flap covering a micro USB slot via which you recharge the X-A3 (which we find preferable to a battery charging cradle) alongside a micro HDMI output. The undercarriage holds a compartment for the battery (rated at 410 shots) and a SD card slot.
