Google Pixel 3 - 4G smartphone - RAM 4 GB / Internal Memory 64 GB - OLED display - 5.5" - 2160 x 1080 pixels - rear camera 12.2 MP - 2x front cameras 8 MP, 8 MP - not pink

The phone is very nice on appearance. It has a very large screen. But I definitely will never get another Google pixel 3 again. I've had 2. The first one lasted about a year. I had to use my insurance to get another one bc they declared it a manufacturer defect. ( The insurance would only give me the same phone for free) It randomly plays YouTube without me touching it. The screen will be black and the phone locked and all of a sudden it will pull up YouTube. It will say a certain time it will die but die 30 minutes to an hour before the time it says. Everytime I try to watch Netflix it has a static line moving across it. It shuts off randomly, it doesn't tell me everytime I have a text or phone call.

It mutes people while I'm on the phone ( my screen is clean so definitely nothing on my screen causing that.) Also when my phone alarm goes off it doesn't always pop up so I can snooze or stop it. I end up having to unlock my phone, go all the way in to the clock settings, scroll to the alarm that's going off and turn it off. And the icing on the cake is the latest update!!!! It changed the whole format of my phone so now I have to relearn my whole phone again. It's so frustrating. I will never get another Google pixel again! I will stick to android.

Excellent Phone, Excellent Price

I was a little concerned that the phone might 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 ... MoreI was a little concerned that the phone might have annoying scratches on the screen.

Overall, an excellent phone for an excellent price.

Great Value, but...

The phone arrived quickly and is in really good condition. I am very pleased with the phone itself. The package included a cleaning cloth and a key for ejecting the card tray. But, unfortunately, the box did not contain anything else. The Best Buy listing for this item says "This Refurbished product: [...] ·Includes all required accessories." I would consider a changer plug-in and cable to be "required accessories", but no charger nor cable was included. For the price, I can't complain, but still, I was somewhat surprised that the phone's battery was 100% dead and I had no way to charge it. (Luckily, I had a USB-C cable and charger on hand.) So, all in all, a very nice phone for the price, but buyer beware that you may not get a charger and cable, both of which I ... MoreThe phone arrived quickly and is in really good condition.

Great phone and great price

The Google Pixel 3 is a reminder of what kind of value we used to get for our money when buying a phone. as little as 2 years ago. I bought it used/refurbished for $210 (with a 2-year warranty covering parts and labor) which is what a phone should cost, not these ridiculous $1,200 flagship phones that are designed to solve nonexistent problems. Yeah I can't experience the full color palette of the movie Coco in a velvety smooth 120+ frames per second, but I also have an additional $800-1,000 + the cost of chargers and new earbuds sitting in my back pocket which is a tradeoff I'll take. Speaking of headphones, not only did this come with an actual charger, it came with a FREE PAIR OF HEADPHONES. And not some rinky dink headphones - these are the criminally underrated ... MoreThe Google Pixel 3 is a reminder of what kind of value we used to get for our money when buying a phone. as little as 2 years ago.

Speaking of headphones, not only did this come with an actual charger, it came with a FREE PAIR OF HEADPHONES. And not some rinky dink headphones - these are the criminally underrated wired google pixel buds. The sound is great and the 'cord as a stabilizing loop' is comfortable and a brilliant use of engineering. As far as the phone itself, battery life isn't great but it's more than enough to never be an issue charging intermittently in my car, at my desk at work, etc. The photos this camera produces are way better than they have any right to be. Google's AI photo processing is leaps and bounds beyond anything else out there today and my photos aren't world class but they look great even compared with modern flagship phones. If you can tell the difference you're either zoomed in 20x, a professional photographer, or full of it. Every phone I've owned since 2011 has essentially the same specs: 8 core processor, 2-4 GB of ram, few hundred GB of memory/storage, and 1-2 days battery life. Price I paid for those phones ranges from $750 (Huwaei Nexus 6p new) to $200 (pixel 2 I used to own and pixel 3 I have now). From a user perspective, I can't tell a single difference between any of the last 5 phones I've owned (the 2 not mentioned were a droid razr back in 2011/2012 and an LG V4 or something) except that now I'm not getting taken to the cleaners every time the battery life goes down the drain due to planned obsolescence. Great phone and buying it doesn't make you feel like Ned Beatty in Deliverance.
