I'm guessing pretty crap by the size of it.
I owned one. Sold it in 7 months. Battery life was crap
Crap. No excuse for how bad the battery is. Almost every day I will need to charge during the day.
Great phone besides that, I'd go XL though
at least they admit in the blurb :P
Charges fast. Lasts long.
Pixel 3 comes with a battery that charges fast and wirelessly (wireless charger is sold separately), and lasts up to a day. It’s even smart enough to limit battery usage for the apps you don’t use often to keep going longer^
Lasts long
I mean if that battery life is considered "lasting long", I guess I've still got a chance…
Pixel 4a will make this a bad buy right? Albeit a little more expensive though.
3a is still $649 on the google store. Im guessing 4a will be similar price?
4a is meant to be cheaper than the 3a to compete with the new iPhone SE. We'll see how that turns out in reality though
4a is going to be US $350 in US, making it AUD $600+ in Australia.
@flame143: The 3a was $399US/$649AU on release, when the exchange rate was 0.70 (same as it is now), so I'm at least hopeful for $599.
That said, the iPhone SE 2 is $399US/$749AU, because exchange fluctuations are bananas right now and big companies probably want as much padding as possible. All Google will be hoping to do is get the 4a in cheaper than that. So we might see $649 or even $699.
Considering the longer support life, and lower depreciation, the SE is much cheaper.
What a strange world!
I hate the way my old Android devices slow down with compulsory "google play services" updates, even though they don't get the latest OS.Meanwhile, the 2016 iPhone SE still runs the latest IOS smoothly.
I'll whinge about the problems of IOS another day :-)@bargaino: How old is your android phone? I run several ancient tablets and there hasnt been a slowdown of the sort mentioned?
@Franc-T: It is old. It is frustrating that the oldest devices with only 1GB RAM are OK after factory reset, become almost useless with just the required updates of system files to make google services work. So only OK if reset and kept offline.
I'm not really complaining, just saying that Apple phones are supported and work longer, which can offset the higher purchase price of the SE. There are other pros and cons of course.
Ironically the 3a has better functionality in the features people care about. So even though the 3 is more "premium" it's a POS phone.
+1
The 3a was supposed to be a the cheaper version of the 3 but was actually a better phone. It's why a year later the 3a still is full RRP and now more expensive than the 3.
3 has more powerful soc than 4a
3 also has a much ram as flagships from 2010. And if there's anything we learnt, pixels don't need the best hardware, as they never have the best hardware
Battery are bad but the unlimited original quality on google photo upload is good.
June update for Android for this phone introduces new battery saver feature which would improve this issue at least partially
I cant see the difference the battery still crap.
Ditto. No better and I'm getting a ton of weird bugs in this update.
Battery gone crap ever since I installed Covid app
it'll be even worse when they enable the 5G tracking/mind control
I assume this is a gag, but if it isn't, you know nothing about the app if this is your stance
The thing about code, is that it's all there to see. Nothing hidden. It doesn't track your location at all. It only uses Bluetooth information. The only reason it requests access to your location is because they don't offer granular enough security model to request Bluetooth scanning in Android.
If you don't believe me, go study coding, then do a code review of the app
lol you are naive. 'muh code'.
Tell me as a coder are you able to do a 'code review' of the Google Play Services framework that governs the continuous access to bluetooth? Look at settings > google > covid-19 exposure notifications. Do they release their code to the public? Nope. Google is free to sideload whatever they want to their version of android without anyone knowing any better.Are you aware that bluetooth addresses are unique and traceable like MAC addresses? Are you aware that google collects wifi and bluetooth scanning metadata of every single google android that pings a nearby router, their unique MAC addresses regardless of whether it is enabled or not. This is fed into a database of routers that each google phone is connected to, and their approximate location. All these things are done without taking into account turning on GPS. The same elites that control govt are same ones who control/fund google and the tech giants and the ones who want to give you the 'cure'.
All of this fear and control for 100 deaths/3mths of elderly and sick. Heart disease kills 50 Australians per day. Suicides kill 8 per day. Deaths due to Medical error kill 50 per day/18,000 per year and maim 50,000 per year. Pandemic levels.
But now you can protest in the street by the thousands for the appropriate causes and be immune to this deadly virus.
You either start questioning these narratives now or be a foolishly naive sheep forever.
@noticky: Don't get your information from Facebook, and if you decide to, don't share it here, there is Facebook to talk about conspiracy theories and stupid stuff like that
@onlinepred: Translation: those facts trigger me so I will shame you as a conspiracy theorist and tell you to go away. I feel for you man.
@noticky: 100 people dead which will cost our economy $300B+. That's a cost of $3Billion per person!
Imagine if we did that for road deaths. Shut the economy down until road deaths are zero. Or heart disease, shut everything down until no-one dies of a heart attack.
History will not look kindly at the hysterical reaction our governments did for this.
Even if the app does exactly what they say, there’s nothing in the apps code would give tell you what happens to the data it uploads.
@crentist: The apps code doesn't matter when the operating system that governs that app has been changed to give it special permission to access bluetooth 24/7 (something that is not normally allowed) and is sending meta and tracking data back to google servers - correlating that with your account/profile.
Example with no covid app: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/04/tech/location-tracking-fl…
the covid app is just another link in the chain they can correlate. And moreso by the way they market it as 'simply download the app to save lives and get back to normalcy' is to gain trust of the population and is a gauge of how easy they would be willing to be trust govt or tech companies to track them for a higher purpose.
micro SD card compatible - up to 128GB (not included)
??
That's a typo; no Google Pixel has ever supported a MicroSD card
Oops. Copied from a previous listing. I have removed it :)
this is a decent price if its pixel 4
Got one in the previous deal a couple of months ago. Upgraded from a pixel 1. It's pretty much just a better version of that. For me the best thing is the front facing speakers. YouTube viewing has just gotten better.
So far accubattery says my screen on capacity is 7 hours. Just depends on your usage pattern really. I don't mind charging once a day, doesn't bother me at all.
Got a 3 xl for 588 too. Pretty nice phone. Coming from an iPhone 6 lol.
Sold my Pixel 3 and got the Pixel 3 XL, heaps better in terms of screen real estate and battery wise.
I paid $680 for 128gb about 9mths ago
Yeah, battery is weak.. camera performance is good
Unrelated, but am I the only thinking google pixel is getting more unpopular as new model arises..so disappointing at their hardware. Been wanting to jump back to pixel (since nexus), haven't been able to see the rationale of buying a Google over Samsung.
Yeah they've been getting more disappointing
Is it better than a70 for the extra price? and no guarantee that i can get a70 tomorrow.
A70 > Pixel 3 based on specs
Pixel will run android better. Camera on the pixel is miles better.
Someone care to elaborate on the "Optus Variant" bit? How much bloatware are we talking? And can this be disabled?
These should have the original google android operating system. So I'm guessing not much, maybe just a loading screen and the apps.
Optus logo shows for 3 seconds when booting the phone up. Thats all
I got the Optus variant from Harvey Norman but I have no Optus logo or bloat ware. I did Click and collect, so not sure if they just gave me the wrong one.
Me too. It definitely had an Optus sticker on the box, but other than that, you'd have no idea it was an Optus variant.
I bought one yesterday to replace my former pixel 3. Yes, that's right… Replaced like for like. That's how much I love the phone
How's the battery life on this?
