Who doesn't love the Google Pixel phones with their amazing OS
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Note10.1Dude:
Ask a question... expect an answer

Anyone who wants a headphone jack.

Anyone who remembers the price of Nexus devices.

Anyone that would like SD card support

Anyone who had Google nerf their battery saver settings

Anyone who wants a large phone without a notch

Anyone who is not a fan of 2:1 aspect ratio

Anyone who is worried about durability of a glass back

(but at least wireless charging is back)

I will be buying a Pixel 3, but I would really rather have modern insides in my Nexus 6.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Battery life is going to suck.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgs_town:
Really looking forward to getting the Pixel 3. I will be replacing my Nexus 5 with the Pixel 3, and I'm hoping for 5+ wonderful years with my new love! ;)

The main criterias for chosing the Pixel 3?

- Pure Android

- Strong developer community

- Flagship phone (specially camera-wise)

- Operatable with one hand (!!)

It all depends on the price in Switzerland now! If it's going to be 700USD in the states but 950 in Switzerland, i might reconsider and go with the Nokia 7.1...
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] edufur:
I don't understand why people think they need these $600+ priced phones. I consider myself a semi-heavy user and get all the power and functionality I need out of my $250 moto x4.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Willy_P:
I currently have a Note 9 and it's more phone than I need, both in size and features. As an example, I'm sure the S Pen is a great tool for many people, but I forget that I have it. I'm going to pre-order a Pixel 3 next week and sell my Note 9 once I receive the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Note10.1Dude:
If only it were $600+. We need a section in here to review price. At $800 for the base model, it gets 0 points from me on asking price.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] vinuneuro:
I'm looking to upgrade from a Samsung A3. I really want to try a Google device but I don't see how $800 for the base Pixel 3 can be justified when the S9 starts at $720, is currently in the mid $600 range, and will likely be around $450 come Thanksgiving.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] L22EEW:
Wow. Getting almost as expensive as iPhones...
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] SnowFuhrer:
Don't complain bro, in Canada flagship phones are outrageously priced. :mad: The pixel 3 costs about 1300 cad (1000 usd) IF you are lucky and pixel 2 was one of the cheaper flagships. (Pixel 3 costs more)
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgs_town:
Whaaaat?? I thought it's the same price in Canada as in the US. It doesn't officially come out in Switzerland, but i ordered the 64gb Version vor 889 USD. That's an ok price in my opinion...
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] alxrock:
I stopped by Best Buy today to check out the PIxel 3s and they look and feel great! The "not pink" xl was interesting to see in person. It's an interesting shade of a pinkish, orangeish, beige? It's hard to describe, but the pics I've seen online are accurate. The notch on the XL really looks better in the real world than it did in the pictures online. The standard sized pixel was in "just black" and looked great too, very light. The screens looked really good with rich color, you can really see the improvement over the PIxel 2XL's screen. I ordered the white Pixel 3, and I can't wait to have it!
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgiapi:
Well, I do not see any so-called hands on reviewers showing a white screen and rotating it to demo if the blue hue is present nor a speaker volume test.

Its like everything I read on these sites are being careful not to say ANYTHING negative about the device.

So I predict a blue hue (or reduced version of said) and lackluster tinny sounding speakers that distort at upper volume levels. Not me, not for nearing $1K. But we shall see.

I had to go to Verizon and pick up a Pixel 2 demo to see it there because none of the mainstream media reviews mentioned it.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgiapi:
Canceled, I have three main priorities for spending near $1K on a phone with extended care plan, taking for granted signal strength and call quality are good.

Speaker volume for media, notification & ring tone, felt vibration, and display quality.

I went to Verizon and sampled two P3's and Two P3xls.

(1) I played a UTube video and it was pretty loud enough so then I sampled ring & notification tones and could hardly hear them. Pitifully weak. I know I would not have heard it in my pocket, I played all of them checking the phone settings and was put off by it. No wonder no hands on reviewers mentioned it or words on the vibration motors..

(2.) Vibration is token. Put it in a case and forget it. I use a wallet case on the job and no case elsewhere. It is imperative I hear and feel calls and texts on the job. Its not going to happen with this phone.

(3) The display viewing angle is unacceptably limited with some of the same disaster of last year. If you think side to side is bad tilt it forward.

Folks, if you are an executive that wears thin silk suits working in quiet offices or areas you may be able to hear it ring as is or and feel the vibration in your pockets.

No sir, not for $900.00 + US, its not a premium device, its sucker bait and I'm sure they will hook plenty. I'm sure I could load my own ringtones and perhaps they be louder but this is buying something and having to fix it.

Another bad sign was how hot they were. Yes they are plugged in and on the verge of hot, say Very warm. Not a sign of a smart charging system.

To each his own and good luck but I still like my 5X better than this thing. Sure, I had to root it and load Ex-kernel and max out the volume and vibration, and load load a tweak to fire both speakers, but for what I paid for it in the raw is more like it.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] SnowFuhrer:
No Canada and US are different prices.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] MWBehr:
I don't fault you for thinking this, it's all a matter of perspective and opinion. I do think it's odd, however, that people scoff at $1,000 for a device that they probably interact with more than almost anything else in their lives (not advocating this, but generally true).

Think about the difference in price between a base model vehicle and what people generally buy. Whether it's a bigger engine, navigation, safety/security upgrades, people basically always pay thousands more than the base price for features they use occasionally in a device they maybe just drive to and from work.

People spend their money on what's important to them. Since phones are probably one of the most universally "important" items currently in our modern society, it's not that odd to me that they're also expensive on the high end.

As a side note, getting two of them through Project Fi will get you a $799 bill credit. So at least for me and my wife, they're about half price in net cost.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] edufur:
I don't see that offer on their site.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] MWBehr:

It's in the blue box there.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] jivenjune:
I have my pixel 3 in hand and have compared it to the 2xl. The vibration motor is a huge improvement. I can't imagine how you can't feel the vibration motor on this thing. It'll rattle the phone at its highest setting, and the speakers are definitely a marked improvement over the 2nd generation. I'm not sure if they're louder, but they come off equally as loud and with more clarity at max. In terms of the screen, I can't speak for the 3 XL but my 3 is vastly superior than my 2XL. The viewing angles are significantly better. There isn't a huge color gradient shift when tilting the pixel 3. The black crush isn't nearly as bad (still there, but less so). And I can't think of a single phone that doesn't get warm/hot while charging with the screen running at 100% brightness. Your argument is really confusing to me.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] dew.man:
My guess, is that he does not even realize that there are different volume settings for media and for ringer, let alone vibration intensity...
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] dikmench7:
Is it just me or does the finger print swipe to pull down notification seem hit or miss? Unlocking the phone works fine but the swipe gestures don't always register.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Beauenheim:
So far so good! At first I transferred everything via USB-C from my Original Pixel, but then it never finished the transfer even though it said it did? Nice idea, but not working quite yet. Factory reset my phone and set it up as new, so far so good! Functionality wise, obviously, there is very little different from the Original Pixel. I was torn on what to order at first, as I thought my Original Pixel was too small. The Pixel 3 has the same size screen as the Original Pixel XL, so to avoid the notch, I went for it. Got it yesterday and couldn't be happier. Great feel, great speakers, great screen! Fast charging is nice to have again since Google broke it on the Pixel back in September. It's very fragile feeling though, my case gets here in a couple of hours.

As for apps, the only issues I've had is Discord doesn't seem to find the mic on the device, doesn't work with USB headphones or adapter either. Also, Digilux, swiping left and right on the sensor, very inconsistent, but it wasn't great on the Original Pixel either.

Squeeze for Google is awesome, the aspect ratio is awesome, the taller screen is actually better for typing and stuff than the Original Pixel.

I almost forgot, I've never had a Haptic feedback vibration motor not feel like trash before, this one feels nice and tight, virtually no rattle, typing is a pleasure on it.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] toy4x4:
Thank you for the thorough writeup!
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] stebaile:
I am enjoying my Pixel 3 thus far - I haven't yet rooted it yet but will. I ordered a second one as the top third of the screen is discolored. Will see if the other phone has the same issue. You don't notice it until a white screen is horizontal and it is especially noticable with night light on.

Prior phone was a HTCU11 and it was great running LeeDroid, just a bit too big for one hand use. Still adjusting to the smaller keyboard but I'm sure I'll get there.

I went from Nexus phones to HTC and always kept as close to stock as possible on HTC. I enjoyed HTC HW and am hoping to have a similar experience with this phone. So far so good! Look forward to many customizations.

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgiapi:
Thanks but I have been an android user, rooter, & ROMr since the original Nexus so I know my way around a device. I am also wondering about Verizon and their samples. A friend loaded his own ring tones and now its loud enough. I'll try again on the vibration on a device in the wild.

I keep circling back to the P3 though. I was all for the 6T but am underwhelmed = Is the 6T Cheap phone or mamazing deal? No.... take away front firing (& stereo) speakers, screen always on, wireless charging, USB 3.1, "Cough" Camera quality, I love a rear FP Scanner, IP68 (splash proof my a**) Project fi option, and anything else I missed and what you get for the money, the playing field is looking closer to leveled.

I have read up on the issues with the known issues of the P3s' and it looks like they can remedy them. So I'm sitting on my 5x for a while to see. Yes, a 5x still rocking so any upgrade will be great.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Taomyn:
Really enjoying my new Pixel 3, have been waiting since the Nexus 6 for Google to finally realise that dropping wireless charging was a dumb move.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] 33HdA:
Hello everyone,

I was trying to get a review from people about Pixels but then I decided to give mine.

Let's see if Pixel 3 is worth the price.

Let me know !!!

Last i had the nexus 5. That one was the best. Hope thet can make devices like that
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] pacificwing:
Its a nice tablet, and a great camera. Unfortunately, it completely fails as a phone which is its primary function.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] waingro808:
only one reason left: camera
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] cherrylucas:
There are two main reasons to love this phone. One is stock android experience and another one is camera. None of the smartphone camera can beat pixel 3 camera. It has night sight to improve low light performance and third thing the phone will get updates quickly from google compared to other phones.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] mysticalmalissa:
I love my Pixel 3 because of its size (I think I am over the big phone fetish I once had) and the camera!

I gave my Pixel 2xl to my husband and he is a very happy camper now too!
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Necrodox:
Pixel 3 price drop, buy buy buy.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] SnowFuhrer:
No you.

Jk. It is a good idea.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Kholargol:
My previous device was a Galaxy S7 and I must say that I'm disappointed my P3 is same/worst on many points:

S7 : better screen, better brightness, better placement for fingerprint sensor, better quality call, SD Card support

P3 : Better cam, better speed, better GPS, better updates

Same memory on both phones.. 3 years after !
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] arty181:
I definitely love Android, the Pixel to be specific! BUUUT.....

I am part of a family that for some crazy reason :confused:, cherishes IOS. :rolleyes: I tried a couple of times, but its def not for me! Im on a never ending search for a way to get the same quality video that my family gets on their IOS devices. I know I dont have iMessage, but there has to be a way, an app, apk or otherwise that i can put on my android device that will allow me to view the video clean as its sent from IOS. Accomplishing this would truly convince me of Androids superiority over IOS and id truly be a life long user....
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] waingro808:
Good to know. I'm thinking about going from S7 to P3.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Haxcid:
I love the OS but the phone is OK. I will probably go back to the LG V series for my next phone. The amazing camera is only average on mine for some reason. My old LG V10 took better pictures. My screen is also to small. I probably should have bought the XL but I am partially blind and I have to put my eye right next to the phone because the screen is to small to make the image largest enough to see.

The OS and consistent updates are awesome but I find myself missing some of the built in apps from LG like their mail app which is the best exchange email client I have ever used. It has a nice weight to it and is comfortable in the hand and pocket. I would say most people would love it. My wife loves hers. After the last update the battery life seems to have improved.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] SnowFuhrer:
I think you are one of the first people I have seen that liked lg above any other brand. But, good for you! ;)
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] BBobby:
I bought the Pixel 3 from BestBuy, unlocked for $399! I wouldn't be willing to spend the $700 on a phone, but for this price, i am loving the Pixel 3 and i got it the day android 10 rolled out!

I love the haptic feedback when typing, unlocking the phone, etc. The screen is great, no complaints at all and the dark mode is king!

Battery life is sufficient for my usage, i get 5.5 hourst of SOT. I got the pixel fabric case, i love it so far, but i'll probably get a Spigen case soon.

I am also loving the new gesture navigation, it makes one-handed operation so much easier! Once i got used to it, i can say i do not want to go back to the traditional button placement.

The camera, well, we can all agree. I am tempted to install Nova Launcher again, but i want to give the Google launcher some time; I got too used to swiping down at the home screen for notifications to drop, i am really missing this feature (using fingerprint sensor swipe for now).

One thing i do not like: Speakers aren't as loud as my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S9 and the dolby atmos is unparalleled)

Also, it is great to know i can unlock the bootloader and mess with the phone, which i didn't have in the US version of the S9 (which is one of the reasons i switched)

Real happy!
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] con_sau_may_tinh:
now, sep 2021, price of pixel 3 so good! i love it because android, specialy camera, and small size, haha but battery drain so fast -.- i lost 10-15% from 12pm to 7-am -.- updated to android 10 (.20)
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] BBobby:
Yes! That is the only reason i got the Pixel 3 a couple weeks ago, i am not willing to pay $799 for any phone

After an update, you gotta give the phone 2-3 days show a stabler battery life. If after 2-3 days you see no difference, system reset is recommended. With Android 10, you should get a noticeable better battery life
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] mxtuu222:
Overall it's a nice phone

I switched my hot potato P20 Pro to Pixel 3. Overall the phone is good - easier to carry, has snappier SW and takes good pictures.

In my personal opinion, P20 PRO captured more realistic photos that was easier to edit in RAW.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] CarlosCalderon:
Baught mine today for 310 Euros with 2 cases and a screen protector. Device is from March. I'll hope it's pretty good... My original Pixel XL died from reboot issue and I'm thrilled to try the "new" line. I heard the pixel 3 had a lot of issues at the start. Let's see how many of them are still there ?

I came from the Pixel 2 XL to the Pixel 3. There is no noticeable difference in performance that I've seen at this time. The only reason I got the new one is due to dropping my Pixel 2 XL and cracking the screen.

HI joemilan

Can you let us know if the hardspl went without any issues.

My advice is to hardspl your phone again and flash the rom afterwards.

Hey keep in ming that I'm just a newbie and this is my opinion as i faced a similar issue :-)

btw - Milan is not the same without Rui Costa
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] joemilan:

it seems to work, but at end the phone restart and show a green screen with:

IPL 2.10.0001

SPL 2.G3.4PDA

it unlock the SPL but G3 remains

what i do????

p.s. MILAN must rejuvenate!!!
