Grab a case - problem solved.
Or skin.
Or another phone
The colour is extremely light. I have one and I'd say 90% of the time it looks more like a white phone.
Or a daughter
Thanks for the post TA.
Is there a difference between 3 and 3 XL apart from the size?
I think this is the cheapest 3 128gb has been.
Battery size.
Thanks to Google - Scored a Pixel 4 128GB for @50% off :).
Check if someone will be happy to give you the code !!!
May i ask how?
When the Pixel 3 -50% off promo was going on , not all orders were fulfilled. I didnt cancel my order . I got an email saying there is no stock of Pixel 3 & I could get a Pixel 4 @50% off .
Email has a unique code & I could only get Pixel 4 not XL (as I had orginally ordered Pixel 3)
Can I have your code please? Would love to upgrade my Pixel 2, thanks!
Just tried with the code and it no longer works on pixel 4
Any xl?
interesting colour names
misses has one with mad overheating issues. battery life isn't all to great either, maybe about 4-5hrs sot.
is that with an XL or this one?
this same exact model
yep I'm done with pixel phones, they're garbage
Didn’t you read reviews before purchasing? They all pretty much mentioned terrible battery life
I mean I expected average at best battery life but the problems I have with Google phones compared to say apple, is how quick it deteriorates. Google phones lag after a few months and so many bugs.
I find apple phones boring but god damn they last and function almost the same as it was brand new.
I'm hoping to get a one plus next, I've given Google 2-3 generations to get something decent and they fail every year.
@[Deactivated]: I gave up after 2XL, Battery was draining even when not in use. Too much google services running
@Pneen: I know, I started at the Nexus 6p, I thought it was a great phone until the boot looping. It's a brick now, meanwhile the iPhone I got a year before it is still going great. My phone bricked 2 years ago thus the iPhone is 3 years ahead, never changed the battery or anything. I believe I only paid $100 or $200 more for it
Got one of these when they were first at this price and honestly cannot recommend. The battery life is atrocious and I still get those silly app crashes/freezes/battery drain issues which I always assumed were to do with the manufacturer's skin rather than Android itself.
Why wouldn't you think that the app crashes/freezes/battery drain issues were because of poor app developers? I've written apps for Android and I'd personally be blaming them in most cases.
Because that's always the excuse I heard "oh your slowness and stability issues are because of the Samsung/HTC/Sony skin. You need stock android". But I still get the occasional Play Services battery drain wiping out my battery in a few hours, I still get apps crashing, including Google's own.
It's the cost of getting the latest updates. After Android 10 came out I still have loads of apps with issues. Our happens every year when Google changes things.
call quality on my P3XL was a bit disappointing. worth upgrading to the P4XL just for the improved call quality.
I still find the 4xl long behind my s10e and iPhone xs in terms of call quality
Interesting .. I should have taken more notice of call quality when I had the s10+0 with crappy curved screen (must have been similar to s10e)
S10e doesn't have curved screen, it's why I got it.
I have the Pixel 3 64GB version - like the form factor and software experience. Battery life is definitely the major weakness if you are out a lot without access to charging.
my pixel 3 still going strong, at this price its an awesome value. I'd give it 5/7
Nearly every other phone is a better buy at this price. Only $150 more and you get an s10e that's better in every way except single camera performance of you Compare photos for a living.
How's Samsung's OS upgrade and patching been like in the last few years. I'm new to Pixel but only got it because there's some guarantee that updates will come in for 3 years at the minimum
Well I have S10e, and am on the Nov security update with android 9. Android 10 is being released right now globally for S10 so only 3 months after Pixel got it, although I was on the Samsung android 10 beta a week after I got android 10 on my Pixel. Samsung currently only gives OS updates for 2 years, and security updates for 3 years. Although some Samsung phones have received updates for far longer, like the S5 which got almost 5 years of security updates. I got my first pixel to try and keep it for 3 years, but it had so many hardware and software issues I couldn't stand it after a year so got the 2xl. After that I learnt not to pay money for pixels, only get them if they are almost giving them away. I still get pixels through work, but chose to buy the S10E this year. To be completely honest, overall the S10E is the better phone, each phone has negatives and limitations, but this deal is not great as it's a 2 year older CPU compared to S10e, 4gb ram compared to 6gb ram, and much better hardware, so it's a very hard sell. Given the Pixel 3 only has updates for another 1.8 years now anyway.
@onlinepred: Correct, Pixel 3 is already 1/3 in for updates. Knowing Google, they'll do the bare minimum. I miss iPhones (6+ years of OS upgrades, not just security patches) but too expensive for what they offer
@soan papdi: Yep after pixel experience I wanted to go iPhone, but I just can't justify the price. Sucks.
I'm sorry to hear that those who judge by comparing whats on paper is missing out what phones like pixel so good. You simply cannot put a price on software experience, shd be absolutely no. 1 priority. Just a well balanced phone with Google's continual support
Said nobody. I've had Nexus and pixels, they are for beta testers only. Pixels are not worth the money. 3a series is the best thing they've done, yet still too expensive. I think they look great on marketing material, but like most reviewers say, it's getting harder and harder to recommend one. My og xl was great, I wish it didn't break twice and require rmas. My work pixel 4 could be really awesome if it had a decent battery and an extra Canara lens to bring it up to 2017 spec. And no it seems Google is just loading all this extra sofware, which is basically bloat. And still their sofware isn't as good as even Samsung. My pixel 4 still lags, and my wife's 2xl still lags and requires restarts and factory resets.
I judge by ownership and experience.
@onlinepred: Yet many of the reviewers use it as their choice. Its getting the same hate as iPhone's and that's because it essentially is the iPhone of Android. And on that note, you realise Google, who owns the Pixel brand, also owns/develop Android OS soooo this bloatware you talking about is almost completely untrue. Ironically Samsung are notorious for this (albeit improved over the years). In the end some are luckier with their experience so must suck to have some dodgy ones.
@nomoneynohoney1: Reviewers use it as it's super basic, not much required to move from a pixel to another phone. It's more complicated to setup a Samsung with samsung accounts etc, something reviewers don't want to deal with as they swap phones so much. It's why reviewers opinions really don't relate to most of us. It's not the iPhone of android, it's just the most expensive android with the least features/hardware - even iPhones have more hardware features and better build quality than Pixels.
AOSP is what Google run, Pixel is running the pixel experience over AOSP. They now have loads of extra apps pre installed that cannot be removed. This is what many consider bloatware as they reference it from Samsung. Like Samsung has full themes app/darkmode and people called it bloat, now pixel experience has a really super basic version of this so it should also be called bloat right?
Either way, I don't get why so many OZB are so emotional about Pixels.
@onlinepred: You must be watching and reading some pretty average reviewers haha. It is very much the iPhone of Android, definitely more so than every other phone at least. Nah it's because Samsung includes galaxy apps and their galaxy store on top of what Android already has included. Its not just bloat you see, its bloat you feel too (or maybe not for the average consumer?)
Samsung phone users are the same, why get so emotional? I just said this Pixel 3 deal 128gb is awesome value! lol
@nomoneynohoney1: As a power user I don't feel the bloat, as it's mostly optional installs now on Samsungs. I have Pixel 4 work phone, iPhone 11 pro work phone and my s10e as personal phone. Owned P1XL and p2XL myself. P3 is not awesome value, unless you are super basic user only needs 4gb ram and likes app reloads constantly etc.
I just state experience, pixels have their place and their audience for sure. For $600 this is not a deal at all for a near 2 year old CPU, only 2 years left of support, a single camera, lowest ram of any flagship phone of the last 3 years. For barely $100 more you can get a still current flagship phone. So this is not a deal at all.
Even refurb prices are sky high: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/506609
The Mi 9T Pro is FAR superior and cheaper, but feel free to pay more for less..
I was thinking that too, or the Mi Mix 3.
Only things Pixel 3 has going for it are more 4G bands (unsure if relevant to Australia), OIS, weighs 50g less and is a fraction smaller, but the bezel is straight out of 2015. Xiaomi annihilates it everywhere else.

I was a bit worried about buying a Pixel 3 when the 4 was out - would it feel like an 'old' phone, would I miss some of the new added features of the 4?
Well I gotta say it's been awesome. The size, feel and weight are great (I was coming from a unashamedly heavy Essential phone though). The camera is great, and indeed the phone has since been updated with a few of the new features introduced with the Pixel 4 - Astro-photography mode, Audio recording app with live notation, real-time subtitles in any video, UI themes, post capture portrait photos, Call screening, portrait mode in video calls, etc.
The only thing I'd say is, the front facing speakers aren't really worth the forehead and chin bezels. They good enough but not so good that I wouldn't miss them going back to a single down-firing speaker.
I feel like Google could put most of those features on the Pixel 3 but choose not to. Sometimes the camera sensor stays the same on some phones and the camera still improves because of the software. :(
True, but I think there are some genuine hardware improvements with the camera in the 4 to make some features just not possible with the 3. The more powerful “neural core” over the 3’s “visual core” and the improved cpu and 6 GB of ram make the 4 possible of editing HDR camera settings and other things in real time whereas on the 3 it needs to process that stuff “offline” after the fact.
LOL… for when sales have "plateau"d
I gotta have it, i want it want it so bad.
Thanks for sharing. Got one. I'm currently using a Pixel 2XL and after 2 years, it still runs silky smooth like just out of box with dozens of apps installed, plus always received the system updates on day one. This deal is for my wife. She'll love the free online unlimited space original sized photo backup for all her memories.
oh man. need one for my son for xmas…not sure he will overlook the colour though.
