The Google Pixel 3 is still a great performer in 2020.... I like the smaller screen size as compared to the Pixel 3 XL. Smaller screen size, small form factor, phones are becoming harder to find. The camera, single lens excellent to superior photo quality, where the Google camera app is the best. No gimmicks with as with multi-lens giant phones. I indicated long battery life... if you have all the bells and whistles turned on, then no, these consume a lot of energy. I just needed a phone that can make calls, text and take nice pictures.

I was a little concerned that the phone mig...ht have annoying scratches on the screen. It did arrive with 2 extremely minor scratches, but I have to look carefully to see them. The battery life has been fully acceptable, much better than the Pixel XL that this phone is replacing. I purchased a wireless charger that meets the Qi standard, and it works well with the Pixel 3. The Pixel 3 screen is larger than than on my XL, yet the phone itself is significantly smaller. Once I transferred my data from the old phone to the Pixel 3, Google offered an OS upgrade to Android 12. This being the last OS upgrade the Google will provide for the phone, I installed it. It has some convenient features. Lastly, the Pixel 3 is a recent enough product that I was able to buy an Otterbox case with a belt clip. Nerdy, I know, but I find it very convenient. Overall, an excellent phone for an excellent price.

Love it for the most part, but it could use a better battery life and more basic phone features. The essentials on a PHONE, such as missed call or text reminders, should never be abandoned and speaks to the priorities of the company. I can't even attach message tones to the contact; I have to set them to the individual "conversation". WHEN it even lights up (has a bug, I guess), my phone doesn't stay lit up long enough when a text comes in for me to see if I need to look at it right away. Then, again, there's no such reminder so I find myself checking my phone a lot more, avoidably, had they not abandoned such simple things.

Seamless transition from Pixel 2. Bought this one unlocked and was ...able to plug and play immediately. Familiar screen quality of colors is unmatched once again. The always excellent and intuitive Android OS makes navigation painless and search feature rarely necessary. The fingerprint unlock feature is indispensable.
