Back my Pixel 3 goes after 3 days-- CRASHED and sucking up battery... Verizon Tech said, "nothing but problems and recommended to get my money back. He could "fix" the problem, but as it is so new, take it back.

Pixel 3 is inline or almost inline with OEMs in terms of HW and design. On the other hand, Pixel 3 has the best software, security, camera and AI, which makes one of the best phones, depends on consumer priority.

      Pixel 3/Pixel 3XL is the first google phone, that I didn’t and will not buy it since nexus 5. Google failedreally hard this year.

          For taking pictures it is the best but for day to day usage, it is HIGHLY unstable. Gave up on it after each upgrade would break functionality on one thing or another.
