Would you buy a Pixel 3 again?

[cwbcpa]

I have not really tested it to see how long it would go. It's not as good as my Note 9, but that's expected. Battery life isn't a huge concern for me on any phone. I'm either at my desk, in the car or at home. I have power in all of those locations. If If I am away from one of those places, I have 3-4 battery packs of various sizes I can carry with me.

Anyway, I'll get around to testing it at some point just to satisfy my own curiosity.

How's your battery life on the pixel 3? I've heard it isn't too great.

Absolutely not. I would have kept the Pixel 2 XL which was perfect in my eyes. Truth be told, I like that phone better than the 3 XL

Same. The camera is what keeps me on the Pixel. I have been a big fan of the Pixel line and have owned all three XL devices, but the 3 has been my least favorite. Annoying memory management issues, annoying and inconsistent speaker performance, annoying and inconsistent phone audio issues. None of those are deal breakers or I wouldn't still be using the device, but Google should do better. If the 4 isn't a pretty significant upgrade in quality control I will be taking a long hard look at the Note 10. That Pixel camera, though...gonna be tough to leave that behind.

Spot on. Note 10 will have my attention. Let's hope the camera competes.

I had pixel 2xl Panda. Gave it to my wife when I upgraded to 3 xl. I have to agree, I like my Panda more, my wife loves it and I can't have it back lol

Whose got the not pink. I'm better that and white.

What?

 

[Morty2264]

I totally would.

I've had my Google Pixel 2 for almost a year now and I love it so much. I've been looking at the Huawei P30, the LG G8, and the future Oneplus 7... But I've grown to love the Google experience so much that it's so hard to give up my Pixel 2 - let alone consider another manufacturer. I'm also thinking about the Pixel 4 if I decide not to upgrade for the next 6-8 months. I'll either wait for the 4 to see what it's like or I'll get another manufacturer... It's very hard to leave the stock/Google experience. Very hard.

You are basically me

I'm not sure I'm going to manage to hold out until October, because I'm so tempted by the new P30/Pro and S10e... But the Pixel 4 is what I really want.

I miiiight be able to wait. Lol.

Thanks. I've decided to either go with those it the Nomad leather case. Both look great. How the added bulk?

Google fabric hardly adds any bulk. I normally don't like having a case on, but this one did it for me. Very unique and looks great. The fabric though makes the case slippery, so be aware. Not an issue for me.

I would not buy a Pixel again. There are far too many things that don't work - and no fixes. I was going to get the Samsung S10, but decided not to wait, and got the 3XL instead. I thought a phone without all the extra Samsung apps and made just for Android would be better. It's not. My two most recent phones before the Pixel were Samsungs. I never had any problems with them. Everything that was supposed to work did work. Next time I'll be patient and wait for the Galaxy S11 or whatever it'll be called. I've learned my lesson.

You have to do whatever works best for you! For some it's the Pixel - for others it's Samsung or something else.

 

[eric002]

Absolutely without hesitation! Just as everyone else and this threads commented, pure Google, pure Google, pure Google. No bloatware, smooth operating system smooth user experience, easy use. Amazing battery on the XL. Amazing camera with machine learning/ai. Amazing screen which honestly lets you forget about the notch I could care less about it. oh, and let's not forget about the bill quality. Between glass and aluminum looks and fuel solid and incredible! I have a peel case on my phone just a protect the back from nicks and scratches.

Can I ask...what's not working?

 

[sulla1965]

No, liking my s10 plus far too much. That said, I'd definitely consider getting the pixel 4 XL if I like what I see.
