I much prefer this to iPhone X. It's much more customizable and Google assistant is light years ahead of Siri. It's a highly functional and practical phone. However, nobody could beat Apple's fit and finish, quality control, and aesthetics.
I purchased this device directly from Google Store, and I suggest everyone do the same, because if there's any problem with the device, they will send you a new one. Their customer service is excellent. It's just a phone call or email away. Yes, the Apple phones are decidedly prettier, but in terms of usability and functionality, Google Pixel wins hands down.

The notch is ugly but you know this before you buy it. The phone feels very nice and premium. The software is weirdly unstable, I thought being stock Android would be great but no, I think it's because of the 4GB of RAM this thing has, apps keeps crashing and reloading everytime you reopen them.
I am posting this on July 6th so at this moment Android Q is only available in beta. I did give it a try and it's way more stable, battery life is much better in Android Q, so I do think the phone will be great when the official version is released.
But this is a Pixel, you buy this for the camera and you're not wrong. I have compared it with iPhone Xs and it's just on another level, I have even compared it with Huawei P30 Pro and Huawei only have much better zoom, Pixel is just superior with the quality of the photos.
In the audio department, it sounds great, I've seen better like iPhone Xs and Asus ROG phone but it has front facing speakers with excellent quality and volume.
In the screen department, this generation is like 600% better than the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 were just terrible, this one is a very nice AMOLED display, colors are good and accurate, viewing angles are also top.
In the battery life, well... It's not good to be honest. I have found myself charging this thing twice a day with normal use. 3 times even with heavy use.. if you're taking a lot of photos it will just eat your battery. For example, I recorded 8 minutes of the 4th of July fireworks in NYC, it consumed 15-20% of the battery. That's just crazy.
But all this little issues has been resolved with the Android Q, even it being a beta is just much more stable than the current official Android 9.
If you want this Pixel, go for it. It's a great phone. And I hope Android Q will resolve those little issues.

Started out as a decent phone. Bought this back in February of 2019. Recently started getting a fatal error message and can no longer turn on the phone. According to forums - this model has random issues like this especially they fatal error message that make the phone useless.

I am a Verizon customer and getting this phone setup was easy. I did have a Pixel XL, so copying all my files, contacts, photos, etc. was a matter of simply connecting my new Pixel to my old one. Everything transferred flawlessly. Inserting the Sim card resulted in immediate activation. The screen is nice and charging to full capacity was very fast. So far, so good.

I purchased this for software testing purposes only (android 9). My normal phone is an iphone Xs Max.

-Both phones are of equal size, both are over priced for what you get, both support inductive charging.

-I enjoy Google's implementation of android better than Samsung. If offers me the ability to upgrade/downgrade my phone's operating system, so I don't have to purchase multiple phones to test. Most android manufacturers lock their phones.

-The physical material the pixel is made of seems to be of lesser quality. Strange because they're both roughly the same price.

-The fingerprint reader doesn't seem to work half the time. You end up entering your 4 digit code anyway. It also lacks facial recognition even though with the iphone it doesn't work perfectly either.

-Haptic feedback is hokey just as it is with the iphone.

-One thing that sets the iphone Xs ahead of the pixel 3 xl is the color quality of the screen. the iphone Xs is much more vibrant even though both phones claim OLED.

At the end of the day you're not really choosing phone manufacturers, you're choosing a preferable phone operating system.

I've had the Google pixel 3XL for several months now and have really enjoyed it; this may even be my favorite phone thus far (and I've had 6 phones over the last 2 years, most being major flagship models). It feels super thin and lightweight, but SUPER durable - my screen is scratch-free (and I don't use a screen protector!), and this phone has survived not just getting dropped A LOT - after missing for 4 days, it was found outside under bricks after days of storms! I wiped the mud off, plugged it in and it worked perfectly (and still does!). The 6.3 inch screen is big, bright and vibrant, with excellent screen-to-body ratio. I've gotten used to the black "notch" that drops down about half an inch at the top because it allows for a great ear speaker and an awesome front camera. Pictures are sharp and portrait mode does an excellent job of putting the face in focus and softening the appearance of imperfections. I've also been very impressed with battery life - I can go a full day on a single charge and haven't noticed any decrease in battery life. I just started using a wireless charger, which works great even with a protective case.

I read reviews that complained about no microSD or headphone jack, but there's plenty of storage space, and the box includes a headphone jack adapter to resolve that issue (although you're unable to charge the device while using headphones).

As always, Amazon shipped my package quickly with next-day delivery and customer service was extremely helpful answering my questions about Amazon warehouse and item specifics. Very satisfied!

Phone itself is amazing.
I got this phone as shown here on the description. It came in with original packaging including all original accessories.
Yes this phone is unlocked, so no doubt about it.
