My 3xl has been a champ for 2.5 years. Wouldn't mind replacing it with a new one.

I don't really need a new phone, but it wouldn't hurt. The Pixel 3 has a great camera , which is important to me. I'm an avid one bag traveler and I only use my phone for photos, but I have to admit the Moto battery is appealing too. UGH. decisions.

I took the plunge but will cancel order or return if the bootloader is NOT unlockable.
Might be of interest: I ordered & recvd a used Woot Pixel 3 XL 128. IMEI began w/35 (Verizon) and unable to unlock.
Other than my interest in an unlocked phone... this used (2yo phone per blacklist checkers) was in better cosmetic shape than anticipated. (a single 3/8" scratch on screen. Back was fine)
Battery "seems" good per a simple app-test.

At this point due to OS bottlenecks and app memory consumption I do think its important to go with a phone that has at least 3GB in RAM.
If things like gaming and high quality photos are very important to you then screen resolutions, CPU/GPU chips and camera lenses come into play. For a vast majority of phone users I don't think this is a big priority.
Also as someone else mentioned you can get much faster battery charging in your car using smart or fast chargers like QC 4 or PD. At this point the limitation is more in the power that your phone is capable in receiving vs. the power the charge is capable of providing. Wireless charging is okay but doesn't come close to the speed a USB corded charger will provide.

What about a battery replacement? These <$19 batteries have a (legitimately) higher mAh capacity than the OEM.

So yes this phone stopped getting OS updated last fall, and will stop getting security updates this fall. And the bootloader is locked so you can't do custom ROMs, either.

I was planning on changing the battery later this year, but if it's only $100 more to get a brand new one, I'll hop on that like a fat kid on cake!
Speaking of kids, I would probably then just give my old one to one of my kids.
I'm hoping google gets back to it with the pixel 6 as the 4 and 5 were dissapointing.
