December patch coming to fix Google Pixel 3/3 XL issues
This year's Google Pixel launch was a mixed bag - the phones are great but the number of issues that popped up in the first few months ruined the user experience for a lot of owners. Luckily, the December patch aims to fix most of those growing pains.
The most persisting ones like errors in the third-party camera apps, memory management and loudspeakers crackling are reportedly fixed by the latest December patch as Google promised.
Sideloaded on mine and my wife's. Confirmed fixed: memory issue closing apps, speakers sounding like shit on low volume.

She was also affected by the bug where the camera would just stop working randomly in a third-party app. That was also fixed with Dec OTA.
Some Pixel 3/3 XL owners are already reporting that the user experience is truly improved following the update. Have you applied the patch already and did it fix those annoyances?
