    Great phone on par with my pixel 4 and my pixel 4 has more ram and a higher refresh rate. Software is what makes this phone so good. I have a galaxy s20 but I return to this phone because of the software experience. Camera is better than most 2021 flagships nothing you don't need such 3 camera's simple and clean experience. Battery life is ok get about 3 1/2 to 4 hrs of screen on time on a charge. Phone is very light and feels great in the hand. For the price you can beat this phone you get wireless charging IP68 water resistance fast 18 watt charging. This phone is better than the pixel 4a which $350 and cheaper. I recommend buying this phone if you want a great camera wireless charging IP68 water resistance great software with one more year of guaranteed updates. something that you don't get on most budget phones of similar price.

    I don't know about all the bad reviews, but when mine was delivered it was in perfect condition. I WILL STATE THAT... When you power on phone and set it up and connect to wifi. It has A LOT of software updates that take FOREVER! When I say forever I mean like my phone came around noon and it stayed updating til like 6 or 7 that evening (1st phone I've ever had do that). I WILL ALSO STATE that if you're with Sprint your gonna have problems activating it, however if you talk or chat with customer support on Sprint website it'll save you time trying to do it yourself. They'll get it activated for you, because it is compatible with Sprint. Other than those two little pains I love this phone. Battery life isn't as bad as reviews were saying, and it actually charges pretty fast. This phones speakers are the loudest ones I've had on any phone. Sounds really good to me. The fact that this phone has a nice OLED display, NFC, wireless charging, Google's really good cameras, IPX8 certified and will still get updated to Android 12 soon made this well worth it. Not to mention this phone is pretty strong. I dropped it from about shoulder height by accident on a tile floor, not one crack, chip, or dent. Also would like to throw in there this phone has a really cool feature where it identifies and saves a list of any music you're by through the out your day, it says the data from this feature never leaves yourh device and I guess works offline. ONLY COMPLAINTS I HAVE ARE THAT THERES NO MICRO SD CARD SLOT, OR HEADPHONE JACK. IM COMING FROM 64GB IPHONE SO ITS NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL. All in all, I am VERY Happy

    I have no need for the latest and greatest phone. When I do upgrade, I usually go for a flagship device a generation or two behind once they are reasonably affordable. I couldn't resist the great price for a new, unlocked Pixel 3 in Not Pink, not realizing I was wading into a unique technical issue between the Pixel 3 series and Sprint. Tl;dr: be aware you are likely to encounter problems activating this device if you use Sprint or another Sprint-based carrier, and let me be clear it's not the device's (or the seller's) fault. It will be stupidly inconvenient (particularly if you are using a Sprint-reselling carrier and are not an actual Sprint customer) to get this device activated as Sprint probably won't have the MEID on file and will fight you with a million excuses when you ask to have it added to their database. Long version: This model of Pixel 3 is quite apparently the only one out of the whole 3 series that will activate on Sprint at all, albeit with complications. I was blissfully unaware of this carrier weirdness until I received my device, which arrived sealed and in perfect condition, went through the prompts to transfer my data, installed my SIM card and excitedly tried to activate it. I kept getting errors while doing online self-activation, and even the agent with my carrier (a small pay-as-you-go provider on the Sprint network) couldn't activate it remotely. He suggested that I contact Sprint directly, as the MEID did not seem to be eligible for activation. I called both Sprint and Verizon, both CDMA carriers, to see what information I could get about my device. Verizon: no MEID problem at all. If I were a customer they would have activated it on the spot. Might I mention, extremely polite, friendly and helpful. In contrast, phone calls to Sprint were rage-inducing. The MEID for my device was not found in Sprint's database as if the phone never existed, but they didn't want to help me add it since I'm technically not a Sprint customer even though my carrier licenses the use of their network. I cannot avoid the indirect relationship I have with Sprint, and the missing MEID was 100% their fault. All they had to do was start a support ticket to add the MEID to their database so I could activate my device after a waiting period, and they just wouldn't do it. Without a Sprint account, several tech support agents refused to help me with adding the MEID, despite my research showing the activation problem (and simple solution) Sprint has with Pixel 3 phones is clearly a known issue with a step-by-step resolution on Sprint's own tech support forum. I was stupified by their lack of action. After hitting a wall with Sprint's rude, unhelpful offshore telephone agents, I finally took the device to a physical Sprint store where at last I found someone helpful who made some phone calls of his own. People on the other side of the phone still insisted they would not help me without a Sprint account, and just when it was looking like I was going to have to wipe this device of my freshly transferred data and send it back, he typed in the MEID one more time just to be sure. And there it was: my MEID was magically eligible for activation! So someone, somewhere, somehow did something despite their repeated refusals. Thereafter, I went home and effortlessly activated my device on my carrier with no further issues, as it should have happened in the first place. The phone has been great ever since. I feel sorry for anyone stuck with Sprint, directly or indirectly, who likes this phone, but I am proof that it can be done.

    I bought this phone as a temporary phone when my iPhone broke. I loved it! It’s a great value for the money. However, there were a few black burns in the screen that were very tiny, but still noticeable (the ONLY reason for a 4 star review instead of 5). The pixel 3 is a solid phone and it’s proven to be pretty durable (I’ve dropped it quite a few times with a fairly weak case on it). I would recommend it!

    This disappointed me in it absolutely went out of order before the year it started to fail with network failures and the load input was no longer working I had to do a factory reset to Well it did not work totally I am unhappy about this is it has a good camera, good calls, good storage, it does not heat up at all, the battery has a useful life.I want to mention that I took care of him, he did not have any blows, he was very good care to be able to decompose now I have to return no.

    About 2 years later. Updates have ended but the device still going strong. Battery life is still good, I still feel like I can get winners from the camera. I know some people don’t like it but I love the squeeze for android call feature. Solid phone to me, would even buy again today, great for a elderly parent or kid.
