- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020Color: Just BlackSize: 64 GBStyle: Pixel 3Pattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseBOUGHT this in May 2020!
Almost May, 2022 UPDATE
YES! I am STILL using this phone and am still very happy with it. Main issues STILL are crappy 101 Google app updates...DO NOT auto update it; read up, the maximum volume could be better; and I burnt the screen in on the home page, my bad. Battery hanging on; buy a good quality, fast charging cable.
I bought it HERE as an open box from the warehouse and would do that again. Is now selling for MORE than I paid for it. Dropped many, many times. A decent bumper case does the job. FANTASTIC camera with no camera or Google Photos app update.
17 Mo. UPDATE:
This phone is still performing WELL and I keep looking for an upcoming replacement when Google pulls the plug on it. HOWEVER, it appears that I probably have 1 OS update left on it. I am getting about 8 hours out of the original battery...less if I stream radio or video.
NEW development this month: the icons on the home page are now burnt into the screen. This is annoying to me.
It overheats in very hot sun, and if I stream music for an hour.
I have done some comparisons and THOUGHT that I had decided to replace this with a Pixel 5 when the time comes. But every comparison I do with a 4 or a 5 says this is better! I definitely got my money's worth out of this phone as it is still selling for what I paid for it here! > Open box buy on Amazon Warehouse.
Warning: JUST keep auto updates turned off and carefully read the reviews for any Google provided Android app parts and pieces. They usually hurt it rather than help it. This phone runs JUST FINE without a whole list of GoogleCRAP, including turning many of them off. Do not believe those screens that say "may not work" without them.
15 Mo. UPDATE to my reviews below is right here HERE:
The battery no longer lasts the day, but it is not awful. The phone overheated the other day when I left it in the sun in the car and shut off. I have dropped this over and over with no damage with just a decent bumper style case. I am still fighting with GOOGLE and their half baked roll outs of bits and pieces of their software-- Do not let this phone auto update. I HAVE figured out which ones not to update and I have ended up with a stable phone. ItDOES appear that sometimes Pixel 3s are oddballs and app designers and even Google have to roll out an update of something just for this phone.
Read reviews in the Play Store. I do have to clear the caches of my apps every once in a while, but I think I would blame that on the apps. The camera is still FANTASTIC and the Google camera app is way better than it was when I bought the phone.
.
I also own a much newer cheaper Motorola (Moto E) phone (backup phone carrier) in addition to this one. The speaker volume is louder than the Pixel. The flashlight is brighter than the Pixel. Everything else-- no comparison.
.
ALL in ALL I am still liking this phone and it appears to be holding up. When it comes time, I will probably update this phone by buying some version of the Pixel 4. However, when I read the specs on all of the other Pixels, this one still wins for me. I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN. I am going to see how long I can keep it going. I have used this phone with TWO cell networks (Verizon + TMo) and had no issues.
.
The call quality is much better when this is not on speaker phone. I uses several Open Source apps on this phone and they work fine (RadioDroid, AnySoftKeyboard, Simple Notes, Simple Calendar).
.
****************************************
OLDER Reviews:
I was pretty convinced of the quality and security of my iPhone and used it long past the payoff date. But Apple's bad battery, broken home button and repeated half-baked iOS releases convinced me to give this phone a try.
.
It's not the latest and greatest, but appears to be very good quality for what I paid for it. I am getting used to the pages and pages of settings, and having to clear the cache, as it has been several years since I had an Android.
.
I bought this from the Amazon Warehouse store and the phone appeared unused. Yeah, as some reviews state, battery life could be a tad better.
.
10 Month UPDATE!
I am still using this phone and would give it a 9 out of 10 for how much I like it. I am not a phone geek. But I do not like low end phones. I frequently use this phone for taking Ebay and Etsy photographs. I am running it on an MNVO of Verizon. I have dropped it several times with a middle of the road bumper case and no screen protector...not a scratch. Google Play Store STILL fools around with updating a LONG LIST of pieces of software for this phone at the drop of the hat. Often, their ideas are half baked. I have come to a happy medium with this by loading some Open Source apps for certain things. I WILL say that the Google PHOTO app, which was an Android 10 disaster has gotten better and better. And the Google FILES app now allows me to clean up and remove junk without paying for something else. I recently bought a Moto E phone as a backup..and compared to this Pixel, it's a piece of crap. My next phone will probably be a Pixel 4 or 4a, as I am that happy with this.
.
6 MONTH UPDATE 12.20.20
OK - So I STILL like the HARDWARE of this phone. It works well. The buttons work well. I bought an C adapter and my plug in ear buds work well. I have dropped it several times without a super monstrous case over it and it has not succumbed to damage. The battery life is not great, but still about a day unless I play streaming radio all day.
.
BUT....Google's constant meddling and redesigning of the Android software parts is still driving me crazy. It is not just ONE system update like an iPhone. This has maybe 20 little apps that can be updated independently of each other. Often the update sucks and I have to uninstall it. Often the settings for these pieces contradict each other. Google appears to totally redesign EVERYTHING all of the time, just for the heck of it.
.
When I gave a poor rating to the keyboard in the Play Store, Google's response (internal notes, accidentally posted publicly) was that I was extremeley negative, brand aversive and should just be IGNORED! Nice! So will I stick with Android for a while, probably. But my next Android will not be made by Google. Hopefully by then, their monopoly will be broken anyway.
.
UPDATE 10.15.20
STILL like this phone but hate Google and their hair-brained update schemes, still consisting of 20 different "parts". Totally lost respect, even though some features are very convenient. They keep "playing" with stuff. On a bright note, I have flat out droppped this phone on its unprotected face and....nuthin!
.
UPDATE 6.24.20
I still like this phone A LOT. But Android 10 appears to be a work in progress in regard to photo handling. This is a shame because of the FANTASTIC camera on this phone. I am hoping that Android 11 solves some of this. However, every time there is an update, it is an improvement.
.
UPDATE 7.1.20
I STILL like this phone! There have been some Android and Google app updates, which have been improvements. Google keeps trying to take over my life and privacy, so I turn quite a few settings off. I still had to load an album and a photo cropping app to do some things I could do on iOS in WAY less clicks. Android is loaded with over-functionality. The battery life is tolerable; about all day with frequent use.
.
UPDATE 7.31.20 and 8.16.20
Well, I STILL like this phone very much. It's GOOGLE I hate. Every little function of this phone is a separate and constantly updated app by Google. Most updates seems to improve or add a function, while breaking something that you need to WORK. Sometimes an update breaks something on a aftermarket app, and the developer will blame my phone model. Some of these apps appear to be just Google spying.
.
What I hate: NO square photos, more clicks to edit photos, constant cashe clearing, anything Google has privacy settings that I have to CHANGE, because they are invasive.
.
What I like: Low light camera feature is fantastic; phone does not lag; phone has never frozen on me; contextual menus available everywhere, very convenient. (I would recommend keeping an eye on cache usage of your apps. Almost any squirrely behavior I have experienced was a badly performing app, not the phone. I am a former iPhone SE user (2 of them) and was worried about the size of this phone. If you are a SMALL person who needs a SMALL phone, this one fits the bill. Can be used one-handed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019Color: Clearly WhiteSize: 64 GBStyle: Pixel 3Pattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseAfter agonizing for months about which phone to buy, I chose to upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to a Pixel 3 toward the end of November 2019. I read and watched every possible review on the Pixel 3 and 4 and nearly went with a 4, but realized the Pixel 3 had everything I was looking for in a phone (and more) for a much better price than the 4.
The following are a few things I prioritize in a phone and I hope hearing my experience will help you make your decision.
1. Obviously the camera is absolutely amazing. Pictures come out exactly how things look in real life, if not better. I've taken tons of photos since having this phone and love how pictures come out, even before editing them.
2. Battery life was a big concern of mine prior to buying the phone. Everything I read or saw online told me it was horrendous, but for me it works beautifully. I use my phone for the necessities and listen to music/podcasts for about an hour or two total throughout the day between YouTube, Pandora, and Spotify. I usually have about 10-20% left at the end of the night, and there are days I start at 5 AM. With that being said, I've realized battery life is extremely subjective based on how often you use your phone. For me, a non-heavy user, this phone works perfectly.
3. Processing speed is actually quite nice on this phone. Sure it doesn't have a 90 Hz display but how much does that affect my quality of life? Absolutely none. In fact, my quality of life is probably better not having it because it doesn't drain my battery. This is a pretty fast phone despite what people said about it "only" having a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. I never find it lagging even with multiple apps open, although I don't play any games on my phone. It's very fast for the average user in my opinion.
4. Screen brightness has not been an issue at all for me. Many reviews told me the screen doesn't
get bright enough, but it's pretty amazing and sometimes even too bright. The reviews I read typically showed the Pixel 3 side by side with another, brighter phone.. but how often do I use two phones simultaneously side by side? Never. So those comparisons are for comparison sake only and in real world use, the Pixel 3 has a beautiful display that is plenty bright.
5. Other things that made me go with this over other phones on the market at the time (iPhone 11 Pro, Pixel 4, Samsung Galaxy S10 or Note 10, OnePlus 7 Pro) were the fingerprint scanner on the back, the ability to save over 2 years (through January 2022) worth of original quality photos onto Google photos for free, the ability to seamlessly use Google software on my phone (drive, photos, Chrome, etc.), the customizability (from home screen to developer options), strong haptic feedback, and definitely price (got this for around $450 new).
Since having it, I absolutely love it and don't see myself switching from Pixel to another brand for my next phone.. but that's hopefully several years from now so we'll see what happens. For now and for the next several years, I'm going to enjoy my Pixel 3 and all it has to offer.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great deal!
Color: Clearly WhiteSize: 128 GBStyle: Pixel 3Pattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseBought this to replace my Pixel XL. It's a great phone with all the features I was interested in. At $189 I don't have any real complaints. I received it and it was new in box. Just be aware that this phone is an older model and won't support some newer app versions. Overall great buy, does everything I need it too and at a low cost!

5.0 out of 5 stars Très satisfaite de mon achat
Color: Just BlackSize: 64 GBStyle: Pixel 3Pattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseJ'ai une utilisation assez basique de mon téléphone. Applications pour la gestion de la vie en générale (horaire, alimentation, course, etc), écouter de la musique, quelques films pour me remémorer des moments importants, des photos pour éviter de noter sur du papier,etc Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Le Google pixel 3 répond à tous mes besoins pour un excellent prix. Aussi, je n'ai pas de très grandes mains alors son format est parfait pour moi.
