**** The Official Google Pixel 3 Thread ****

I'm wondering if an iphone with google apps is the way forward?

Can't set Chrome, Maps, Gmail as default. Google Photo's doesn't backup properly

Yep, I’ve had the same thoughts as you @TheOracle but as @Scottland says, it’s not a great experience.

I’ve got an iPad Pro, and until recently, the photos app would almost always fail to sync my photos from my phone so if I wanted to show someone something I’d end up using the web app or just passing my phone. As also said, it wont back up your photos in the background.

I dont find Google maps quite as good to use.

Google Play Music is flawed on both platforms, but the search is at least 50% broken on iOS, and I’m sure it doesn’t handle gapless as well as the Pixel. It’s also extremely slow and laggy.

Then there’s the default apps issue. And none of them are as fluid as Apples own apps.

I came to the conclusion that if I dumped my Pixel for an iPhone, I would end up moving over to Apple’s ecosystem, which works really well but is a bit of a walled garden with all the problems and issues that presents.

It's arrived! Feels good, hope it ages gracefully.

Nice. How much did that set you back ?

Anyone know if any of the carriers are doing the Pix3l XL in 128gb? Vodafone only seems to carry 64gb option unless I'm missing something.

£35 for the small 3.

Yeah, mine came last week. Initially I thought they'd sent me the black version. It's very very nice!
only thing is, I've cancelled my pixel 3xl order lol still deciding what to do

I'm still waiting for my P3 which is due by the end of next week, I think it will be delivered the week after however. My bare case was lost in the post, a replacement has shipped today and hopefully it will arrive before the phone does.

Anyone gone for the fabric official case. I quite look the likes of them.

 

[Scottland]

Still waiting on my order from Voda & no ETA, they seem completely inept though and am tempted to cancel just based on their CS.

I've cancelled....well, they said they'd cancel it and I'd get an email confirmation. No email

It's far too close to black friday now

In the time since the Pixel 3 was unveiled OnePlus have unveiled and relased the 6T and everyone who ordered has it

Still happy with my 3XL but have noticed the WiFi dropping frequently , hopefully this and any other bugs will be fixed soon.

Yeah I fancy a Google home max but would need a good discount on black Friday .

I bought one when I got the regular Pixel 3. Very nice cases.
