      with the abundance of power banks and in-car chargers nowadays, I don't find this to be a big problem.

                  Not really. I was making a crap joke about how daily driver phones are a dumb concept by pretending any phone can be particularly boring or interesting, which whooshed over your head.

              @Zackeroo: Pixel phones aren't overly customisable though. Samsungs sure, pixels no.

              Source: own a pixel 3, can basically change the wallpaper and that's it.

                Source: I've modded 8-year-old budget tablets + I own a OnePlus (Which is known to run software which is extremely similar to what Pixels run)

                • MrFunSocks on 11/02/2021 - 13:15

                  @Zackeroo: You can "mod" a samsung phone 100x more than you can a pixel though. If you want customisation you don't buy the least customisable android phone on the market.

                  Try changing the AOD on a Pixel for example. Try adding an extra nav button to the 3 button nav menu. Try removing the wifi icon from the task bar. Good luck.

                    Ok so to refer to your comment, you said you "can basically change the wallpaper and that's it". That's the statement I'm trying to prove wrong here. A simple look at XDA will provide you with a world of possibilities for your phone… That is, if you're willing to seriously customize your phone.

    • Shaun Prawn on 10/02/2021 - 17:06

      I bought this for my dad in the last deal and it's a pretty good phone but I would say the biggest problem is the ringtone volume (especially for him). Media plays very loud because it uses both speakers on the phone, but the ringtone and notifications only use 1 speaker and it is ridiculously quiet. There are complaints from others online about this, but Google claims it's working as intended. I don't know why they can't just make an option to use both speakers or if it's possible to make the single speaker louder for that.

      • Mi2 on 10/02/2021 - 23:37

        Just choose a loud ringtone. It's fine. He will get used to it.

        • Shaun Prawn on 11/02/2021 - 05:26

          I downloaded some loud ringtones, and playing them in media apps they are plenty loud enough… But then setting it as the ringtone the volume is cut by more than half… It's definitely not fine because he's a truck driver and no chance you can hear it over a truck. It's an oversight from Google.

          Edit:

          Just a few links of others that don't find the ringtone volume sufficient either. If you search "pixel 3 ringtone too quiet" you will find many more.

          https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/5597267?hl=en

          https://amp.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9qjaze/pixel_3…

          For anyone hard of hearing or working in slightly noisy environments it is definitely not loud enough.

      • MrFunSocks on 11/02/2021 - 10:59
        +2

        I bought my parents a Xiaomi Mi Band each to act as a ringtone basically, and it's been fantastic. They don't carry their phone around on their body the whole time, especially when at home, and they often just miss phone calls even if I call them 10x in a row and I know they're there and have their phone. Now they get notified on their wrist and only have to charge it once a month.

        Maybe have a look at doing the same for your dad.

              +2

              @Merlict: It's just the hackers would have to write hardware drivers, which is pretty full on. The ROMS you get from XDA etc do not offer certain driver updates, only software. So for example, if there was a vulnerability with a driver on the Pixel 3, it in general would not get patched through ROMS. It's the issue that you get with QUALCOMM androids.

    • nomadspartan on 10/02/2021 - 16:14

      If you bought your phone with a credit card, check if your credit card provides with any product insurance or benefits. For example my Amex card allows me to a free screen repair if I bought my phone with it or if it pay my mobile plan with it.

    I just replaced my Pixel 3 with a Samsung S20 FE 5G. The Pixel 3 was amazing and the stock android feel was slick and very google. The downside however was the Pixel 3 had woeful battery life (it won't get through a full day with fairly standard usage) and I found the bluetooth dropped out often when outside walking/running which made bluetooth headphones pretty unusable. Pixel 3 support also ends later this year so you will only get several months of life before security patches stop. I only just got my S20 FE 5G so its too soon to compare yet.

  • MrFunSocks on 11/02/2021 - 11:02

    Shockingly bad battery life, would not recommend.

    I could only put up with mine for 3 months before moving to another phone. Really the only good thing about Pixels is their camera, and the camera isn't even top 3 anymore. If you have to have a pixel, get a 4a or 4a 5G if you want a big phone. Much better deals than the Pixel 5 for same performance.

    • yama131 on 19/03/2021 - 17:04

    received mine on Friday, just before VIC snap lockdown

    it's an amazing phone. upgraded to Android 11 first thing, installed all latest system updates, did a full reset, then set it all up.
    fits my smaller hands perfectly. amazing screen. great camera. no complains about performance, everything is very snappy.

    just like with any OLED device, the darker the picture, the less power consumption. enabled dark theme and no complains about battery life so far.

    I'm not familiar with the Android ecosystem but am keen to get on board.
    Are there any phones at this price point that would be guaranteed updates after October 2021?

    • hamza23 on 19/03/2021 - 17:15

      Nokia 5.3 $219

      Updates

      There's also Nokia 6.2 and 7.2 but they are a bit older and perhaps not as reliable/well received.

      Security updates guaranteed up until Jun-23. Nokia has Android One with guaranteed updates, or Samsung are pretty good with updates despite not being on Android One.

      However the Nokia 5.3 will only get one more operating system update, to Android 12, which is the same as the Google Pixel 3 will get, despite being an older phone. You are just getting longer (guaranteed) security updates with the Nokia 5.3 phone, however Google will probably still push out important security updates after Oct 2021.

        Thank you. Is this still a good buy despite the lack of future updates or is the Nokia the way to go?

          It depends what you want.

          The Pixel 3 is a smaller phone, 5.5". Nokia 5.3 is larger phone, 6.5". I would find 5.5" too small myself, but it depends on what you like and what you are coming from.

          However the Pixel 3 has a faster processor, it was released as a flagship phone, while the Nokia was released as a midrange phone. Pixel 3 was $1199 on release 2 and a bit years ago, while the Nokia 5.3 RRP is only $329, released about 10 months ago. The pixel also has a much better camera, generally regarded as the best camera on Android phones.

          On the downside, Pixel 3 isn't great for battery, mentioned earlier. You'll get better battery on the Nokia, it's bigger and the processor is less battery hungry, despite the bigger screen. If you are okay with the battery and a smaller phone, you will get a great phone with a great camera and still get Android 12 update when it comes out.

          Ultimately you will end up on Android 12 no matter which phone you get and you'll get Android 12 quicker on Google than a Nokia phone as they get OS updates first, it's just you'll get security patches for longer on the Nokia.

            @hamza23: If you are happy to spend a little more and want something a little bigger, then new Google Pixel 4a 5g is a great value phone at $599 down from $799 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/608336

            It's a good size at 6.2", no issues with battery life at all, more RAM and you've got years of updates on it as it was only released the end of last year, so you'll be good to at least the end of 2023.

            Don't mix up the Google Pixel 4a and Google Pixel 4a 5g though, they are different phones, the difference isn't just 5g. The pixel 4a 5g is bigger, faster processor, better camera etc.

          Nokia is part of the Android One program, it will get two major OS updates and 3 years of security updates from the initial release date. Problem is that they are buggy as hell. Might be better with the newer devices, but just be aware.

          Samsung just announced that all phones will get at least 4 years of security updates, unknown number of OS updates, but probably at least one for the low end, and two plus for the higher ends. The OS are bloated but far more polished than Nokia.

    $333 today.
    How much better 4a5G camera is compare with Pixel 3?

    • Shaun Prawn on 20/03/2021 - 10:04

      Dropped again to $329.64

      It's basically the same main camera sensor, except the 4a 5g / 5 has an ultrawide lens that the pixel 3 didn't have. This allows you to take photos at x0.6 zoom.
