While out and about today one of my friends picked up a Galaxy S 10e. We compared devices during lunch and by the end of lunch he decided to return the 10e and purchase a pixel 3.

I had the 10e for a while . It was OK but I ended up back on my pixel 3

I also currently have the s10 and it's OK as well . I'll probably keep it.but once again I'm back on the pixel ....

I have always found Samsung devices to be to feature rich with options I don’t need of want. Also the bloatware is very heavy in their devices. Never had good battery life with any Samsung device.

Well I do agree about some bloat. Mostly it can be disabled or uninstalled . But I can say I have gotten some good battery life from my Samsung stuff.

It's normally just a few things that I don't like compared to my pixel . But the pixel isn't perfect ether.

I have found the pixel devices to be the best all around devices on the market. From performance to camera to no bloatware make the pixel my pick but understand how others feel.

I picked up an s10e but returned it since the build quality was not what I was expecting it to be. Also, it reallllly annoys me there are third party apps I can't uninstall but only disable. Like, why is Facebook on there? Gtfo with that. So now I am using a Pixel 3 at the moment and its been all good so far.

Samsung devices are full of bloatware that can never be uninstalled unless you jailbreak you phone.

iPhones get jailbroken, Samsung most can be uninstalled especially unlocked model but ones you cant need to root it or disabler package.

I am returning my s10 for pixel, is the 3 better buy over 3a? Verizon has it marked down to 500
I'd suggest getting some really cheap phone to last you until the Pixel 4 series is available.
Or just see if you can get an inexpensive Pixel 2 (either size) to tide you over until the 4 is out.

Bought my wife a 3a and I can't even tell the difference on performance compared to my 3xl. Only part where I notice a difference is after shooting a photo it takes a a bit longer to process. Other than that everything else is mostly the same except not front facing wife angle selfie camera. Also I got $100 back and another $258 for an old iPhone 6 totalling $358 and the phone only cost $399 + tax. I think I paid like $65-70. There are sorts of deals on getting the 3a for basically Penny's. I would get th 3a since it's so cheap and then upgrade to a 4 later on October.

I would normally agree but there are deals on 3s right now

The slower processing is due to the 3a not having the visual core.

I'm sure there are deals bit I guess it all depends if you want to spend more. Like I said I paid like $42+ tax for a 3a after th $100 Google Fi credit and $258 for an iPhone 6 trade in. The deal on the 3 will never be this good.

I have heard that the Samsung bloat that can't be removed has reduced significantly in the last four years. I suppose I've dreamed of a phone manufactured by Samsung with all of the software done by Google.
