    I am still using my Pixel3 from launch day and I love it.

    The only issue currently I am having from all that time is that the USB-C connector appears to be on its last legs.

    Considering buying one of these as a quick replacement.

    • cashews on 02/05/2021 - 15:46
      +2

      I had the pixel 1, 2, 3, 4. They've all been great phones, but the connector seems to be the weak point in all of them.

    • jetblack on 02/05/2021 - 16:02

      What do you mean, exactly?

      My pixel 2 occasionally becomes really hard to plug in and stay connected, but giving the slot a proper clean out brings it back great and connecting solidly. Could that be your issue?

      I find dust and debris gets compacted right down the bottom so it can be tricky to get out

    • btiltman on 02/05/2021 - 16:48
      +4

      Every one I know that has had this issue has been fixed by cleaning out the port. Try a fine (wood) toothpick using a torch and magnifying glass. The build up of debris from pocket lint etc eventually stops the connector from seating fully. After cleanout works like new again. (There are several articles on the net about this issue with USB-c ports)

      • Gumster on 02/05/2021 - 21:29

        This exactly its amazing how much gunk sits in there and gets compacted in

        I have a 3 year old pixel the USB C connector will stay connected if I dangle the phone upside down by the cable
        If yours doesnt its probably gunked up, and needs cleaning.

      • shagaroo on 03/05/2021 - 12:09

        I had a small bit of paper that got into charging port from my pocket. I thought the connector snapped off inside the phone when the cable would not stay in the phone. So I brought it to one of those repair places in Westfield. Guy had a look, pulled the paper out with some tweezers and said that it was $20!!!

        • Zorlin on 02/05/2021 - 20:23

          eh I've changed my mind. $244 is in the "screw it" category. I'd save for a Poco X3 PRO for $315-ish instead but that's me, for the right person it's a good deal

        I'm curious, what's your alternative in this price range that is faster than SD845, has OLED, IP68, wireless charging, Android 12 guarantee and a decent camera?

        • Zorlin on 02/05/2021 - 18:07

          https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-86…

          As for OLED, IP68, wireless charging etc, sure, that's a little harder to attain. The problem is this phone becomes useless in December of this year if you care remotely about any apps that use SafetyNet. Warranty is dubious, hardware replacement and repair is harder, etc etc…

            -1

            @Zorlin: You could just stick with the official software and not install a custom ROM though (although Magisk workarounds are still effective for now, anyway). The most egregious bugs should be covered by app updates and Google Play system updates. Personally I haven't heard of anyone being compromised considering they keep at least those two things updated, but I'm happy to be corrected there.

              @trishmapow: It's simply not worth the risk. There's been plenty of breaches with remote exploits that use Bluetooth or WiFi. There's no reason to stick with an old phone, and Magisk is going to be permanently bricked before long - even John Wu says so…

              • shegeloaf on 02/05/2021 - 20:05

                @Zorlin: I use a custom rom. Best thing you can do to your phone.

                • Zorlin on 02/05/2021 - 20:16
                  +3

                  @shegeloaf: "stop lying" is an awfully accusatory thing to say.

                  There have been publicly documented cases of this attack being possible. Here, I'll Google it for you since you seem to be too busy throwing the L word around - https://insinuator.net/2020/02/critical-bluetooth-vulnerabil…

                  On Android 8.0 to 9.0, a remote attacker within proximity can silently execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Bluetooth daemon as long as Bluetooth is enabled. No user interaction is required and only the Bluetooth MAC address of the target devices has to be known. For some devices, the Bluetooth MAC address can be deduced from the WiFi MAC address. This vulnerability can lead to theft of personal data and could potentially be used to spread malware (Short-Distance Worm).

                  You could make the argument that it's not truly "remote" since you have to be within Bluetooth range, but it's not hard to break into someone's IoT crap at home and get enough of a beachhead to pwn their phone.

                  I have used custom ROMs since Android 1.6. Don't @ me.

                  • trishmapow on 02/05/2021 - 21:02

                    @Zorlin: Ah yep I remember that one. Still a limited scope attack, and the OG Pixel avoided it by being on Android 10 very early (despite last security update in 2019/12). But it wasn't covered by GP system update so I have to give it to you there. (Not sure why the other guy is so aggressive haha)

          • Jai on 03/05/2021 - 00:50

            @NigelTufnel: Magisk Hide can spoof the check used by Google Pay but some banking apps may not work.

              @Jai: Oddly enough, the hsbc app tells me it won't run as my phone is rooted, then proceeds to work anyway. There are various ways to avoid root detection, and it's sometimes a cat and mouse game. But it's also possible to use custom ROMs without root.

      For me it's a matter of what you get for your money. Upgrading from an iphone 5, this has wireless charging (my car has a wireless charger), a great camera, free google photo storage and NFC. It also syncs to my android smart watch.
      I don't use my mobile for gaming, heavy video use or storage. Need it mainly for calls, sitting on toilet, occasional google maps and music .
      The newer generation phones don't offer much more in what I use for the extra price, so this is a perfect fit for the $$.
