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

The more I've read about this phone the more it's seems Google have cut corners without cutting the price.

Even if it was absolutely perfect they would have a hard time justifying the price, given how poor their sales have been, but with all the faults it should be a £600 phone max.

I think im just gonna wait for samsungs s10 plus at this rate. I feel its only the camera thats really tempting me on the pix3xl. All the rest is a downgrade from my note 8 besides the speakers.

yeah now you say it, this does seem like a nexus device, not a pixel device.

I'm still on my 6P and I'm still struggling to part company with it even though it's a dinosaur by modern smartphone standards.

I don't need a perfect device but I usually keep my phones for 3 years so I want something that's either decent for less or truly outstanding for more. This phone doesn't fit in to either category for me.

That's pretty poor, the Pixel's main selling point seems to have gotten worse this year

Not sure if the Pixel 3 improved later on in the video but 'Mr Nearly Identical' was doing my head in

Imo no phone this year (barring obvious SoC improvements) matches the 6P, it did everything right. I've recently given mine to my mum and I cry a little inside when I have to tweak it for her - the perfectly flat screen, those crystal clear loud speakers - it just feels and looks great. The camera imo produces a better end shot than my S8+, if a lot slower at doing it.

The 6p was a sweet phone!

I gave mine to my step dad and know exactly what you mean! It really was / is a fantastic phone and whilst my U11 is damn nice device I do wonder if it really was worth upgrading...
Every time I look at one of the new "flagships" I get put off by longphone form factor. I want wide phones again dammit!

I was going to say the exact same! When I see my 6P I mostly regret moving away from it to an S8+. Not that the latter is a bad phone but it just sounds much worse and I'd not be spending a ton on glass protectors!

Poor battery, poor video recording, back scratching just by looking at it, memory problems, buggy software....have I missed anything?

The mkbhd review was actually very good and said video was good bar the microphone. The camera as always looks unreal.

The back frosting being so easily damaged is a very strange decision for Google to make.

Wonder if Google has shares in dbrand
