I actually double checked to see what version it is because sometimes the sellers don't actually know. I asked whether the IMEI started with 35 or 99. If it starts with 35 it's a Verizon version, if it starts with 99 it's the Google version.

They responded, "the stock we have start with 35"

So that means these are the Verizon version with a locked bootloader. For those that may not know, they can still be used on any carrier just fine. They are carrier unlocked. The bootloader however is locked. This means that you cannot install a custom ROM to keep updated when Google stops updating Android on this phone. Many people won't care about that, but people that are tech savvy and want to extend the useful life of this phone by installing newer versions of Android won't be able to.

Great for putting on CalyxOS.org to have a privacy minded phone.

EDIT: was informed later in thread that custom ROMs like CalyxOS cant be installed on Verizon variants of this phone (havent verified this but thanks to the user that called this out)

You probably had a defective phone. Yes, the memory's inadequate so apps will often have to relaunch when you multitask. Yes, the battery is bad so you need to either carry a power bank or a charger. But other than that, the phone's great.

I've had this phone since it was released. This is a great price, but it's an awful phone. The RAM management is terrible. Freezes up ALL the time. Apps constantly close when you open anything else. "But the camera is great!" you might say. Yeah, but good luck getting a shot when you need it or taking more than one without it freezing up. Seriously, my original pixel still works better than my pixel 3.

I have a 3a and have had none of these issues at all. Have you done a system reset?

I'd buy this in a minute if it weren't pink.

3A is nice . The only negative thing is the battery 🔋.

My wife and I have had our Pixel 3 phones since February 2019 and have not had the same issues you're experiencing. I've been the type of person to switch phones every year too and this is one phone that I haven't felt the urge to get anything else.

I got the 3xl and my spouse the 3 shortly after release years ago. Both have been fantastic and I am looking at replacing the battery in both to hopefully get another couple years out of them.

To my understanding official updates end later this year. But if one is smart with their phone, its no biggie as all the underlying apps will still get updated.

I would tend to think the 3's camera still is nearly just as good as the highest rated cameraphones currently on the market. That was #1 reason for switching to pixel line and we couldnt be happier.

Sounds to me you got yourself a dud. I'm at over 2.5 years with both the 3 and 3xl. Although not perfect, we have not run into anything remotely close to your experience.

Thinking about selling my unopened 2020 Moto Power and getting this Pixel 3 but it sounds like battery life is on the weak side. Speakerphone call quality, battery life and reception are what I look at first. Watcha think?
