Don't they just. Amazon sells identical ones for iPhones for £5. Don't do pixel ones though which is a shame.

Will there be any issue using my existing Nexus 5x sim and tariff with the Pixel 3?
I have 4Gb data, unlimited calls and text.

What sort of issues are you referring to? They're both nano sim so will be fine. Data, calls and texts isn't relevant.
I think that's part of the idea, they're meant to be very minimal, provide excellent protection and not degrade over time. They even come with a year warranty and money back guarantee.
@jrodga2k5 @Somnambulist @chrisd you're really happy with your bare cases right? I've just ordered one for my Pixel 3

Nacho notch on the play store 
I've tested it out and it rounds the corners perfectly. Looks spot on.

Just trying vodafone again to see if I can get a better deal. Currently been offered the following which is tempting me now....
Pixel 3 XL (yeah, yeah, I know....notch haters gonna hate)
42gb data
Spotify
Free Phone, Free Home Hub worth £139
£52 a month
My man maths is working out the cost of the phone £869 / 24 months = £36.20 so the sim plan is basically £15.80 which considering it comes with spotify I think that's pretty good.
Not to metion the free home hub
Might take that to the local store at lunch to see if they can better it.

I'm with Vodafone already and that's what they said on the online chat so possibly includes some discount

No worries!
It's already well known that the Apple CPU's are pretty special and a little under appreciated.
The mic quality has soured the Pixel 3 for me, but I've still got my order on. I don't particularly game so the app refreshing is no problem for me, I've had 4GB in my S8+ for ages and never really noticed it being slow so I'm still quite happy with my 3XL purchase.

You can't compare snapdragons to a bionics
You just can't
It's like comparing a Volvo to that bloodhound thing

I'm not so sure in my personal experience. The S8+ has been fine for me, granted I'm not gaming on my phone, but I've never really noticed or cared about the apps reloading from memory - if anything it's a minor inconvenience for me.
That mic though, that needs some serious work!
Are you running the res at FHD+ or QHD+? That would make a difference. And app reloads shouldn't be a thing on a phone at this price.
Agreed, also running a S8 and feel the same. I do not game on my phone but I use it a lot and have never thought "wow, this is slow, needs more ram"
I am running the screen in FHD because I think and feel that QHD on a phone display would do nothing but drain the battery unnecessarily
Ultimately, as always it comes down to different use cases. For those that want the best specs this isn't the phone for them.
