I gave 4 stars to this device only because it is a little difficult to use all the capabilities. I would suggest that the phone comes with a pre loaded video on how to use the phone to the max.

I upgraded from a 3 year old Droid Turbo 2, and so far the Pixel 3 is refreshingly great. Battery Life: The first few days I was disappointed in the battery life. I was expecting the smaller battery with the more efficient Pixel phone to be better than a 3 year old Turbo 2 (even though those phones had huge batteries), and it was about the same or a little worse (about a day of use). But, after having the adaptive battery setting on for a little over a week, the battery life has gotten better every charge, and is up to 40 hours on a single charge. Build: The Turbo 2 was an indestructible tank of a phone. I never had a case or screen protector on it. I dropped it many times and it was still working great for me after 3 years. With the Pixel 3, it definitely feels like a quality phone. But, being all glass, this phone will obviously need more protection. The glass back is a little slick with the rounded corners. I plan to take better care of this phone, and have a case from Carved that has a nice grippy edge so I don't drop the phone on accident. Display: I went with the smaller phone for 2 main reasons: 1. I prefer the small form factor because it's more comfortable in my pocket and my hand, and 2. The notch on the XL. I'm more old fashioned and don't like the notches - they seem like a useless feature. But, the screen on the Pixel 3 is great. I like the 18:9 aspect ratio, the rounded corners, the brightness range (from almost off to blindingly bright), and everything about it. I may miss the "shatterproof" screen from the Turbo 2, but this is a much nicer screen. Performance: smooth, fast, snappy. Has some RAM management issues, but Google announced an update to fix that in December 2018. Camera: Probably the reason most people will get this phone. I haven't been able to put it through the wringer yet, but it is pretty great. Night sight is some sort of sorcery. Top shot, Google lens, the wide angle selfie camera, and unlimited photo storage are all great features. This phone camera can almost compete with my Nikon DSLR... ALMOST. I'll always take a high quality DSLR over a phone for pictures. But having a camera like the Pixel 3 in your pocket all the time is pretty awesome. Other things: Android 9 Pie is really nice. I almost immediately got used to the "gesture" navigation and prefer it now. The speakers sound amazing. I'll still use my bluetooth speakers for listening to music around the house, but they make watching videos great. i haven't missed the headphone jack yet, and the included Pixel buds will probably be just fine for my needs. Finger print reader is in a very natural place, is very accurate and fast. I got my Pixel 3 for $200 off and it was well worth it. It's a great overall phone.

I spent way too long researching phones recently, but always kept coming back to the Pixel 3 as the one that would be my next. My hesitancy was over the numerous quality concerns/bugs that were reported all over the internet. So I figured I'd just weigh in to say I'm incredibly happy with this phone and so far haven't experienced anything that would make me regret my purchase. I've had the phone for a month and a half and perhaps the December and January updates fixed a lot of the problems that the people who bought on release were experiencing. I'm not sure, but seriously - I love this phone. It's as fast and nimble as any I've used, the camera delivers on expectations again and again, and the "pure" Android experience really is very satisfying. I'm coming from a Galaxy S7 and simply not having all those Samsung and carrier apps pre-installed does indeed make a difference. I thought I would miss having an SD card option and worried that 64 GB would not be enough. I was wrong. It's plenty of space (I've barely scratched 40%) and I don't have to deal with constantly moving apps back to the SD card every single time they're updated because I don't have space. My app drawer only has the apps I actually use and wanted in the first place. What a concept! I'll say this: my wife's S9 is a little wider and feels better in my hand than the Pixel 3. There's definitely more screen real estate on that one, as well. But neither thing would make me switch. The Pixel is easy to use one handed and fits in a pants pocket. Oh and this is my first phone without a headphone jack. I don't really miss it. Still seems unnecessary, but at least the Pixel comes with USB-C earbuds in the box and they're actually pretty cool. Google Assistant is baked right in, meaning you can listen to your notifications as they come in simply by pressing a button on the headphone cord. Neat. Last thing: wait for a sale. $800 or whatever they cost at full-price still seems ridiculous to me for just about ANY phone. But it's frequently on sale and at $500 I don't know what could possibly beat this phone.
