The Pixel 3 has been excellent for me. The timely updates, consistently great camera, uncluttered apps, and very smart assistant integration have delivered exactly the experience I was hoping for. I have even enjoyed the front facing speakers. My wife's Pixel 3 experience was horrid. She went...

Hard to be sure, but it sure seems like battery life has suffered lately. I haven't associated the May update with worse battery performance, but I suppose it's possible. Still, there are so many daily variables, who knows

I also got the Verizon/Best Buy Pixel 3 deal. It was a no-brainer buy. Anyone considering a Pixel 3 on Verizon should monitor Best Buy at major holidays for that deal. I hope you continue to enjoy the phone as much as I have.

If I were having some of the same ongoing issues others have described, I would try something else too. My Pixel 3 has been terrific from day 1, so I'm prepared to keep it for years. Samsung phones don't tempt me. I have had several that all had software glitches for which Samsung never issued...

Now playing simply does not work as advertised. Works some days. Doesn't work other days. It needs some Google love. Personally, I would not have included it as a feature until it was much more reliable.

Linus' whiney review focused on minor items which software updates have or will fix. He sounded like David Spade ******** about the weather.

My Pixel 3 is not having the same camera lag issue that Andrew's is having, but I trust him. My wife has had to do two warranty swaps on her Pixel 3 while mine has been just fine. I'm not sure that quality control is doing the best job in the Pixel 3 assembly building.

Flossy is great! In most of his reviews, he says the phone is priced "too damn high!" I bought into Verizon's buy one get one deal... One of the rare times I got a decent price break on a smartphone. Is my Pixel 3 worth the full $800 price? I don't think so. I agree with Flossy here.

Now playing was working sporadically at first, but now not at all. I consider it a promised feature that was ultimately not included.

I like the Pixel Buds that came with the phone. The sort that have to compress into the ear to work never fit right, but the Pixel Buds design is comfortable and sounds fine.

I'm with you. I would love to try Pixel Buds 2, but I suppose they aren't ready for prime time yet. In the meantime, I wouldn't mind seeing the original Pixel Buds at a price reduced in accordance with their public reviews. I'm still warming to the idea of a smart watch. Not sure I need one or...

My reasons for getting a Pixel are clear. I am already a user of many Google apps & services. I want a streamlined experience without unwanted non-removable apps. An iPhone would have Apple apps that I would never use, making Apple a no-go for me. The Pixel's immediate direct software updates...

I have had a G6 since late March 2017. I chose it over the Galaxy S8 for exactly the same reasons you are considering moving back from the S8. I replaced 2 black G6 phones through Verizon after both had call quality issues where the receiving party said my voice was cutting out. Verizon gave me...

How you use the phone will determine whether you will be happy with it for 2 to 3 years. As designed, the G6 does most things very well. It's a solid phone. I got mine in early April and have yet to see a newer device I would rather own for the money. I have seen some quality control issues such...

I have had battery drain issues pop up out of nowhere on the G6. I resolved the issue by uninstalling apps that tend to push lots of notifications, like fantasy football apps for instance. The battery life improvement was amazing.
