Yes it is. I had a Samsung Galaxy S9 but wasn't keen on all the Samsung stuff pre-installed which I never used and could only disable. I tried the iPhone XS - much more expensive - but really felt suffocated by iOS. All the other 'best' phones are so big nowadays. I want to be able to slip a...

OK. I'm within the Pixel 3 return window - can you recommend a phone which is correctly priced and similar to the Pixel 3? I am genuinely open to suggestions. I prefer a smaller device.

I don't get it. Here in the UK the smaller Pixel 3 costs the equivalent of $952. The iPhone XS costs $1,287. I'm absolutely OK with the Pixel costing so much less than the iPhone XS. A bit of a bargain quite honestly. You have plenty of choice with Android to pay less - but there are always...

Re: Battery Drain with Nova Launcher Yes. I searched for a solution and Nova recommends that you clear the Nova cache, uninstall, then set it up from scratch rather than restoring a previous backup. I did this - doesn't take too long - then did a resh backup. The memory drain has gone. It's...

I agree. I remember when I first got a 5x. I took it to a friend's house to take some photos of his new kittens. I also took my 'proper' camera and I was shocked that in every case I preferred the photos from the 5x. I dislike zoom lenses anyway, so the fixed focus lens on a phone is no...

I had a play with both Pixel 3 phones today and they and they look and feel in a completely different league to the Pixel 1 and 2. Much more premium and both with excellent screens. I am happy with the price, given how much Apple charges for its flagships. Here in the UK we pay $977.57 for the...

OK, it has been Monday 15th for over 12 hours now in the UK. Deafening silence.

Re: Best Cases for Pixel 3 It's the official Google Pixel 3 fabric case. Have a look in the Google Store.

Value for money can only be decided by the purchaser, to be honest. I only consider flagship phones and for me the Pixel 3 offers value for money. I already have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and I'm happy to pay a premium to rid myself of the Samsung software bloat.

Yes. In the UK the Pixel 3 64GB is £739 ($975) - that's £260 ($333) less than the iPhone XS. I'm more than happy with that!

I tend to go for black. I remember a few years ago I was buying a new car and I saw it in black and white. The black one looked so much smaller - I had to check it was the same car! I always use a case (a black one, lol) so I wouldn't see the colour of the phone anyway.

I'm from Europe too. The Pixel 3 64GB it £739. I don't thinks that's expensive for what you get - especially given the iPhone XS is £999. From what I've seen and heard the Pixel 3 feels more premium than the Pixel 2. It has wireless charging, an improved camera and smaller bezels. It is somewhat...

I have an S9 and have ordered a Pixel 3. I too get irritated with all these Samsung software updates. I get the notification and am left thinking 'WTF is that and why do I need it?'. I had a Pixel 2 prior to the S9 but I really couldn't deal with the huge bezels. The Pixel 3 looks so much...

I ordered during the event as soon as the Pixel 3 page went live, before the Pixel 3 link was even on the main Google Store home page. I ordered the Pixel 3 64GB black and delivery is 2 November. I'm in the UK.

If you could get to the North you could save yourself over €50 by buying the Pixel 3 at the cheaper UK price from Carphone Warehouse.
