    Got this on a very good deal at bestbuy as unlocked phone. The pixel 3 is a very good phone. It has dual speakers with good sound and a vibrant 1080p amoled display. The battery is just ok though but good enough for a day of regular use. The ui is the latest and is very smooth and fluid. I also have a note 10 and I gotta say pure android on the pixel is more fluid in my opinion. The size and form factor is a good size if you dont want a huge phone. You can't go wrong with the pixel 3.

    Nice camera with clear screen. Two speakers for better sound with plenty of memory. Awesome price with a free Google home hub. I just which the larger font option was a bit bigger. Great value at this price.

    Seeing how the price on this dropped dramatically, it was too tempting NOT to pass up. Compared to other android phones, the Pixel 3 gives you the stock android experience, no bloatware or extra gizmos. Plus you get Android 10 which has been doing me wonders. The OS is extremely simple, so getting to learn how to use it is quick and easy! Switched from an iPhone XR to the Pixel 3, and it's been treating me kindly so far. You're getting a lot of great features in this phone for a good price. The processor is still a fantastic piece of equipment and I haven't had any serious slowdowns during use. The CAMERA is just fantastic, and being a photographer, it's really nice having such an item in my pocket. NIGHTSIGHT is AMAZING. It has USB C which is a 10/10 for me and I'm glad it's becoming the norm for phones now. Honestly at this price, you can't go wrong!

    I went from a Galaxy S9+ to the Pixel 3. It is overall a good phone but I wish it had more gesture controls like the Samsung UI. Google assistant is helpful but sometimes the smart lock is a little buggy and doesn't always work when I'm at home. The camera's playground mode is nice but I wish it did more. That said it is nice to have unlimited photo storage on google photos because I own the pixel. I also have noticed that the matte covering on the bottom half of the back of the phone seems to have healed from minor scratches that I had only a few days ago - didn't know if that was intentional but I like it a lot.

    I wanted to have both my iPhone and another Android. I read reviews I wanted the best rated camera in my price range. My iPhone lens needs repair - so I found the Pixel was rated very high so I bought it I loved the night pics right off and the pic of a bunny out of my car window was as clear as I've ever seen for a cell phone I've been a photographer for years but wanted a good enough camera to use for social media Wonderful so far!

    I was a loyal Samsung Galaxy user but didn’t want to pay that much for a new phone. The Google Pixel 3 is just as good, maybe even better! Camera quality is amazing as well.

    The unlocked pixel was cheaper than Verizon's(got mine for 450) and it came with a Google nest, unlimited cloud storage for photos and vids, 6months of you tube premium, and simple Google assistant integration, they are anadvertising agency so they do suck up a lot of your personal day and know you inside and out, so if you're not into that look elsewhere, but it's hard to avoid Google services on Android and apple isn't any less extreme as far as vacuuming all you personal data.

    I was looking for a phone to replace my S9 because I had to give it back to work. Since the Pixel 4 is coming out soon BB had a great price plus the Google Home Hub for free. So far I have not had any complaints with the phone except that I am used to being able to mirror to my TV with the S9. The battery life is as good as I hoped (smaller battery than S9) and it charges very quickly with the included charger. It is very nice to have stock Android because I have received multiple updates already whereas with AT&T they took forever to push out. It's also nice to have no bloatware as well.

    Switched from iPhone. I really like this phone.

    I have owned iPhones since the very first version. For the longest time, I had no desire to switch to an Android phone. Over time, however, several things changed my mind. First, I wanted access to my music anywhere, but I didn't want to pay for a subscription. Google Play music, unlike iTunes, was free, so I used that on my iPhone instead. Of course, it's not the default music app, so when I connected to several external devices (like my car stereo), it made listening to my music a hassle because many times, the device would default to iTunes. I teach, and my school uses a variety of Google software in the classroom (again, mainly because it's free). You can get these apps for the iPhone, but on a Google phone, all of these apps are interconnected in a way that makes it seamless to go from app to app (such as getting an email from someone who has shared a document with me on Google Docs and clicking on the link and being taken immediately to the editing screen). The final nail in iPhone's coffin was the fact that they changed their image file types. Instead of using the standard file types such as jpegs and mpegs, they started using an Apple exclusive file type for images and video. When I tried to move these files to my computer, the phone would try to convert them which would often cause the operation to fail. Of course, incompatibility with everything not made by Apple is not exclusive to their image files. I bought this phone instead of a more mainstream Android phone because I wanted a more stock version of Android. So far, this phone has been extremely easy to use, gets great battery life, has a fantastic screen, and takes wonderful photos. And it's compatible with almost everything. I can even plug external devices (like USB thumb drives and Playstation controllers) into it using USB and they work immediately. Keep in mind, whenever you switch to a different device, there is a learning curve. There are also apps on an iPhone not present on other phones, such as iMessage and FaceTime. Of course, there are applications like Skype or Hangouts that do the exact same thing, but both people have to be using the same app (...you can't FaceTime someone with an Android phone. Both people would have to use an alternate app). Of course, none of that was a deal-breaker for me. I would definitely recommend this phone and will probably stay with Google the next time I upgrade.

    I have been an android user for years, but my wife has only used Apple phones her whole life and was not sure about switching. I talked her into trying the Pixel 3 since I have the 2 and it has been a great phone. She was able to transition and learn the basics of the new OS in a few days with no major issues. I had to answer a few questions here and there but nothing major. She now prefers this phone over her old iPhone, mostly because of the great camera. The phone also has great build quality overall. A great phone for beginner Android users or experienced ones.

    Switch from iPhone SE and must admit nervous it wouldn't be better. Transferring was a bit tedious but so far painless. Speed is better but not by much. Camera needs to be mastered by me but so far impressive. Password transferring not really possible so I put them in as I go. Once the main password s are in life can go on seemlessly. Nice weight and though not as luxurious as the iPhone the quality is there. Display is crisp and clear. All day use on battery life. Overall a painless transition with an expanded feeling of IOT .

    I bought this pixel 3 to replace my failing Galaxy S7. So far I have no issues at all. I didn't know how I would feel about not having a headphone jack but I got use to it quick. I also love the integration of the USB-C... such a superior charging port. Wireless charging works well and all around it's a good phone for my needs.

    I had a Pixel 2 and loved it, so I upgraded to the 3. I really wish I had gotten the 3XL for the bigger phone size with such a small dollar difference. But, this phone has all the same amazing functionality as a Google phone with android operating system. It's super customizable, the camera is scary good, and I love integrating everything based off of my email. Pictures, contacts, email, calendar, etc. It's all accessible no matter where you are. I will never have a different phone - Google for life.

    This has been a great phone, so far. I have only had it a couple of weeks, but I have had zero issues with the phone. No issues with any problems described that I had read in reviews. It has a great setup app right out of the box. Was able to copy all of my data (contacts, photos, etc) directly from my old phone using the setup app, and the included cable adapter. Had everything copied in about 5 minutes. Within 20 minutes, I had everything setup on my phone. This phone has a great camera!

    If you are a fan of the pure Android experience, the Pixel series are the ones to get. This one feels much premium compared to the previous Pixel 2 due to the glass sandwich design. I also like the Pixel 3 over the Pixel 3 XL for not having the notch. The sound quality is also superb because it has two front facing speakers.

    Writing this review on the phone after a little over a year of owning the device. Photographs are amazing, fingerprint scanner is awesome, battery life is great. Make sure to keep the USB-C input clean or the charging will suffer while it gets dusty. A quick spritz of canned air and a toothpick cleans it out and keeps the input nice and stiff.
