      Recently bought iPhone 7 Plus 128gb for $350. So far I am liking it. Is it worth upgrading to pixel 3?

              Actually I don't like pixel 3 much. The good things for this phone are camera and monthly security update. Its price is not worth.
              Anyway, I got it for free on a $39 plan for 2 years.

                Not a fan of this phone's battery life. I have to turn on battery saver at all times and got rid of the beautiful AMOLED Live Wallpaper to get respectable battery life again. Everything else is pretty great about it. But that battery life on mobile data is a joke.

                  What did you do?

                    As mentioned in my recent LG G5 comment, my Pixel 3 stopped connecting to my Wi-Fi network while my other three phones can connect fine. I'm a little bit ticked off about it. I'm hoping the July security patch fixes this.

                    Google's reliability could be as bad as LG or even ASUS. I actually never owned a reliable phone except for my Xiaomi Mi 3. It's probably the only phone that never gave me problems a few years later.

                    Typing on it now while my resurrected LG G5 on Nougat is playing audio. My Pixel 3 is next to it with zero third-party apps installed. I'm just waiting for Quiche to arrive in August so I don't want to keep re-installing apps after I reset everything to new again.

                    I realized I can't really judge a phone until they finally get their FINAL firmware update. My Xiaomi Mi 3 and LG G5 are up-to-date and they seem more stable than than first two years I had them. I'll have my ups and downs with my Pixel 3 no matter what. It's like being in any relationship.

                    At least my Pixel 3 will get all the way to Android S. My Mi 3 went from KitKat to Marshmallow and my G5 only went from Marshmallow to Nougat. Pixels are the only way to go for the most future updates on an Android flagship.

                    My Pixel 3 is an excellent phone. Its battery life is actually lasting a little longer since I deleted everything yesterday. My main qualm is I can't use it at home. I can only use mobile data which kills battery faster and my speeds are capped at only 10 GB per month.

                          Right now with galaxy s10. Dont like it over s9. Shall Pixel 4 have micro sd slot and wide angle lens?

                            As mentioned in the Essential PH-1's comment section, this Pixel 3 now becomes my new favorite to use because I broke my Essential Phone by accident yesterday.

                            Was jogging back to my car after a DoorDash order and the Essential flew out of my loose holster case. Accidently kicked it too while on pavement. Never broke a phone after nearly 20 years until yesterday. And it had to happen to my all-time favorite.

                            In fairness, the Pixel 3 is the superior device to use as a phone. Better reception and camera. That's always the one I pick to put my SIM inside. You always need reliable reception and camera anywhere you go.

                            Like I mentioned before, my only qualm with my Pixel 3 is the battery life is mediocre if you browse using mobile data. It lasts longer on Wi-Fi though. And I love the in-hand feel of the Pixel 3. Rounded edges, narrower, and lighter.

                            My love for Essential Phone vs Pixel 3 is very, very close. I could easily flip-flop them every day on which one I prefer. As of today, I have no choice but to love my Pixel 3 the most since my Essential is dead. My Essential won't even turn on anymore.

                            Google Pixel 3
                            Design - 8/10
                            Comfort - 9/10
                            Display - 8.5/10
                            Reception - 9/10
                            Camera - 9.5/10
                            Audio - 8/10
                            Software - 9.5/10
                            Battery - 7.5/10
                            Value - 5/10 (at $900)... 8/10 (at $450 I got it for)

                            I loved this phone though. The first Google phone without using a famous OEM like HTC or LG. Probably the best design among the three Pixel generations. And it really does feel good in the hand.

                            It did refresh for me on Twitter yesterday, so the RAM issues are there. But I have no other bugs for it. I'm on the April 5 update. I don't want to update it anymore because I could ruin its battery life each time. It's generally a smooth experience for me. Has never rebooted on me since I've owned it.

                            It's a great phone so far. The key words are so far. Every phone can deteriorate after six to eighteen months. I've only had this phone since May 2nd. Only six weeks. The good news is I can always go to a uBreakiFixit repair shop if I want the battery replaced. Costs $70. Can't do that for the Essential.

                            R.I.P. my Essential Phone

                            Long live my Google Pixel 3
                            May 2, 2019 - Present

                              If using Wi-Fi, battery life for the Essential and Pixel 3 are about the same. It's noticeably worse on the Pixel 3 if using mobile data. I say about 20% worse. I did two orders yesterday and it killed over 30%. I could deliver 4-6 of those with my Essential with that same 30%. So the Pixel 3 is no marathon king.

                              I noticed yesterday that there is also this weird audio bug. Try playing a YouTube video and then when the notification comes through, the sound is softened. The video's sound is now coming from one speaker while the notification sounds comes from the other. I don't like that.

                              Pixel 3 charges a tad slower but it is still fairly fast. It also heats up a little more when I use it for tethering. I would say other than the camera and in-hand feel, my PH-1 beats it in most areas that are important to me. I also don't like how high the SAR level is while my PH-1 is over 3x lower for the head.

                              Do I regret getting the Pixel 3? No. It's actually a savior now that my LG G5 has been rendered utterly useless as a smartphone. I need it anyway since my PH-1 doesn't get the best reception under T-Mobile around my area. And the camera is ace. Got to have the best camera wherever I go just in case.

                              If I had to pick one phone to rely on, it would be the PH-1. If I had to pick one phone to rely on as a phone, it would be the Pixel 3. I've owned 40 different phones. I think I ended up hating nearly everyone of them. I loved them at first before hating them later. Hoping PH-1 (9 months) & Pixel 3 (1 month) doesn't get there and I will still love it years later.

                              Loved at first before hating -
                              Apple iPhone
                              Apple iPhone 4
                              Nexus One
                              HTC One M7
                              LG G5
                              LG V20
                              Apple iPhone SE

                              I believe my Xiaomi Mi 3 which I had for 5 years might be the only one I haven't hated after all these years. It still runs pretty well. For every Apple product except my MacBook Air, I always loved it at first. Then as time went on, I ended up hating it. Alot of phones are like that. Breezy speeds. Then slow as molasses.

                              I'm worried my Pixel 3 will reach that stage where it runs like garbage less than 2 years later. I think Essential really put the effort in their first (and only phone so far) knowing it might not have a successor. You can tell the quality and effort was there.

                              PH-1 is not perfect either with phantom touches, weak digitizer, & weak reception but it is one of my few reliable device in years. The reception issues are actually a little bit overblown. I will miss the PH-1 when the battery degrades badly but surprisingly my Mi 3 still runs pretty decent after 5 years. It also runs the coolest of any smartphone I ever had.

                              I will likely stick to the Pixel line for good. I've owned the original and now the 3. I've had excellent experiences with both of them. I just never owned them long enough to know if they're reliable. Only had the og Pixel for 6 months. I may not know the quality might get worse until about 18 months later. Perhaps one of the speakers goes out or whatever.

                              Most phones are like that. They're ticking time bombs. Doesn't matter if you took really good care of them. Planned obsolescence is real. The good news is if I want to replace the battery or get my Pixel 3 fixed in general, there is always a uBreakiFixit store near me. That's the official store to get your Pixels fixed.

                                  I arrive at work today and the entire left side of my Pixel 3 bleeds light. I go to Verizon and they tell me that I broke the screen. There are no visible cracks. The Verizon reps says that I must of broke the screen when sitting in my car driving to work today......wtf...I can't put this phone in back pocket.
                                  I dumped the iPhone because it's camera sucks,,,,I bought the Pixel 3 because of its picture taking capabilities....I never would have guessed that for a $1000 phone I can't place it in my back pocket......Well when I'm done making payments on this POS, I will find another phone and it will NOT be a Google product. FU Google and ripping me off a $1000 bucks for a phone that can't simply withstand being put in a back pocket..

Basically the unlimited original photo storage only works for the picture taken from you Pixel phone, and the photo will be kept forever

                                        No issues with my overnight standby time. It drains like 2-3% like my other two main phones. The main culprit was probably not turning off the automatic email refreshing. I usually do that manually.

                                        The Pi Music Player waking up in the background might have been the other problem too but I noticed I turned off adaptive battery and it still drained only 2-3% at most.

                                        This Pixel 3 is a great phone. Zero regrets. This will likely be the series of phones I plan to keep upgrading to. There's nothing else out there I'm interested in.
