Or maybe more RAM snuck into the model lol. Can't go wrong with 6 in a Pixel 3 special edition imo. Had they made one for $599 USD or GBP? I think they would've had a winner.
I’ll always have an interest in Pixels. If I don’t get a 3, I’ll definitely be looking at the 4. More RAM, increased storage & maybe see what they can do with a second rear lens on the next ones please.
It’s just the inconsistencies in design between the XL and standard models that really irks me with the Pixel.
Looking at the S10’s you’ve got the exact same phone design just one is bigger than the other. Obviously, there’s the cutout in the display differing on both phones this time but that aside, aesthetically they are identical save for size.
I hate that the Pixels looks like different phones from the front. I hope it’s a design trend they do away with for the Pixel 4.

What's cray about this phone is that if the S10+ didn't exist, I wouldn't even think about looking until the Pixel 4 or Note 10 came out. But I agree. More RAM and Storage would be nice for the next round though I can manage with what I currently use.
And while I don’t think it would actually bother me too much, I’d hope they could find a better way of incorporating a notch. Or just copy Samsung because that’s how it should be done!
It’s also a bit of a shame they release phones just at the end of a Snapdragon chip life.
My thoughts exactly...if it weren't for the S10+...I would be using my Pixel 3 XL and LOVING it!
I still love the P3XL mind you...But the S10+ is a great phone and my shiny new toy for now
Question for all. Has anyone actually purchased and enjoyed the Pixel Buds? After a very disappointing preorder process, and my enjoyment of this phone, I'm considering cancelling my purse preorder of the S10+. But the one thing that really intrigued me about the Galaxy was their new Galaxy buds. From what I've read, supposedly the Pixel Buds are the worst product in the history of the Earth. Is that really true? Any other truly wireless options out there that are worth the money?
If I keep the Pixel I've also decided to get a Fitbit Versa to fit my watch needs.

Everything I've read or heard about the Pixel buds is that they are just short of terrible. With the continued improvement of true wireless earbuds, these offer no advantage over alternatives like the Galaxy buds, Jabra 65t or AirPods. I wouldn't waste your time or money.
Pretty good. Sounds is decent, they fit nicely in my ears, case isn't too big and offers a couple battery recharges. I ultimately returned them because they weren't an improvement over my AirPods for casual everyday use and I found the Jlab Epic Elites to be an even more secure fit for when I'm active/working out. If I had to pick a single pair of buds too use for all occasions, it would be the Jabras.
This was me a few weeks ago. I tapped and am back on the 3XL.
That’s disappointing, I thought the icon X, the predecesor to the buds, were the second best wireless buds out behind the AirPods.
I took a picture of my daughter and I at dinner and posted it on Facebook. Got several comments at work this morning that people couldn't believe that I got that pic quality from my phone.
The P3 really does have a great camera! The whole Pixel line is more than just a sum of its parts. It is a great blend of software and hardware experience!
I've actually never had a phone grow on me like this. Usually it's that new phone feeling the first two days and then it wears off but it's been the opposite with this one.
Your posts sound like you are leaning towards keeping the 3 XL over your S10 pre-order. I'm curious to see what you'll do.
Yeah I was sold on the S10+ but the pre-order has been really frustrating. And then looking the Pixel more and more has made it even harder.
The 4 things that still have prevented me from cancelling my S10 order:
1. Battery life
2. Free Galaxy buds
3. Better watch options
4. Full dark mode
Just wondering...does the auto brightness work terribly for everyone else on the P3XL or is it just mine? It constantly changes even when the lighting conditions haven't.
