I have been on a hunt for a nexus 4 for awhile now but can never find one in decent condition.
Foolish only if pure hardware specs matter. Having owned two OnePlus phones (a 3T and a 5) I'd be inclined to go with the Pixel for the camera and faster software updates combined with Google not being in the habit of doing a half-arsed job with security and adding barely working security "features" just to get a bullet point. While I have my doubts about Google as well, I still trust them way more than OnePlus. It's a shame really as proper dual-SIM and insanely fast charging are enticing in OnePlus phones.The 3a series has to be down in the $300 to $400 range to be successful. If it gets anywhere near the OnePlus price range it would be foolish to pickup one over the 6t or upcoming 7.

I agree if you're talking about the Pixel 3 or XL. But looking at the Pixel 3a and 3a XL with the proposed specs? I'd take the OnePlus easily. Ones a flagship with some compromises to cut the price down and the other is a clear budget model.
OnePlus will have superior specs, performance, build quality, battery life. The 3a will have slightly faster updates and a better camera.
If security is your priority I can understand putting the Google devices over OnePlus. But don't think that stability will improve with the Google devices. They treat Pixel users like beta testers. Sure, they'll fix things eventually but you have to deal with it for a few months
It just depends on your priorities .
Let's say the Pixel 3 and 3 XL Lite are $300-$350. What are your predictions on what is left off to keep the price low?
My guesses:
1. No squeeze for assistant
2. No IP water resistance
3. No glass back (plastic or aluminum?)
4. Lower res screen
5. Potentially slightly larger bezels (ala iPhone XR vs iPhone XS)
6. Lower storage? I don't see them going back to 32gb but they might if they want the price really low entry point.
Maybe they'll throw us a bone and add in a headphone jack to entice some people.
Would you be interested starting at $300 for 3A and $350 for the 3A XL if they had the above?
That would be an awesome comparison to see, you'd have two best mobile shooters in your pocket..... Got space for a certain Penta lense Nokia?I am quite tempted by the reduced in price Pixel 3. Just to try out.
I still need to sell my XR (which I definitely will be doing as I am keeping my P30 Pro) but I could sell my XR and still have money left over buying a Pixel 3 which is very tempting.
I wouldn't mind seeing how it performs and what the camera is like compared to the P30.

I have been using my P3 XL as my daily driver for the last couple of weeks. What a great phone....what a great blend of hardware and software designed to work with the hardware. It provides a great overall user experience.
I really enjoy my P3 XL...can't wait to see what the P4 is this fall
Looks to be a pretty amazing deal for today only. Phone has to be activated on Fi but since there is no long-term contract, think you only have to pay for one month of Fi service.
Probably not even that. I've done deals on Fi before and just had to activate the phone then cancel. I ended up being charged like 75 cents or something for a day of use. I can't imagine they'd go after people for not keeping service.
So the UK deal I posted about has seen stock disappear online for the Pixel 3 (smaller one) in every colour but 'Not Pink'.
When I did a store stock check earlier in the week (before I talked myself out of picking one up) some stores near me had 1 / 2 units in each colour, but then the option disappeared to check the stock in stores as online was only showing the 'Not Pink' so had removed the black and white colours.
Anyway, I went to John Lewis today to buy a candle (as you do haha) and just happened to wander over to the tech stand. They were only selling the 'Not Pink' XL and normal sized so I asked one of the ladies working on there if they were the only colours they had.
She disappeared and came back with a 64gb, 'Just Black' Pixel 3, which mayyyyy have ended up coming home with me.
Oops.
I am going to turn off my P30 Pro and my XR and use this for a few days with no distraction.
The smaller device is appealing to me after using such big / heavy devices recently as well as a flat display.
I enjoyed using an OG Pixel last year before picking up my XR, so will see how this treats me. For that price I couldn't really turn it down. And 6 months free YouTube Premium is ideal!
It's a sickness we are all afflicted with!geez you have a problem...
but I do too...
I just ordered the White regular Pixel 3 through the Project Fi deal listed above
[doublepost=1555963990][/doublepost]One other thing. I've had to download a Pixel style launcher (on a Pixel 3 lol), stay with me...
The stock launcher is great an all, but on the smaller Pixel the app icons are too small for my tastes. I tried changing the display size but it made everything too big then like the text etc.
The good thing with a launcher is it let me change the icon size which I've now done and it looks a lot nicer.
It also let's you add a transparent app drawer which is a nice addition.
I have always wanted a pixel. I was THIS close to jumping on this deal, but I realize it serves zero purpose. I have a Moto G7 Power and an iPhone 8+. The Moto fills the need for an android phone with micro sd support and a headphone jack. It also has 99% stock android, so I also have that. The best things about the pixel are stock Android and a great camera. Camera doesn’t do anything for me.
My biggest question is would a $499 3xl be a better deal than a $599 OnePlus 7? I don’t know...
Curious which launcher did you install ?
No way. That would kill themI have a feeling the one plus 7 will be more like $699 or more.
