How much is too much for the new Pixel phones?
No matter if you’re shopping for yourself or a loved one, one of the best smartphones you can buy right now is the Google Pixel 3/3 XL. Google’s Pixel phones established themselves as something special back in 2016, and this time around, they’re better than ever before.
The Pixel 3 + 3 XL have industry-leading cameras, wireless charging, and one of the best software experiences you can find on Android. However, are the phones worth their respective starting prices of $799 and $899? Here’s what the Android Central forum community thinks.

If you are coming from a first gen Pixel, it’s probably worth it.

Also in the “all phones are overpriced” group, but love my pixel 3 and the package of hardware/software is premium to me. I got a pixel 3 for it’s simplified minimalist OS and speed, in a comfortable form factor which it is.
