I got a pixel 3 primarily because of the camera. I'm the sort that used to lug around a dslr, then a Fuji x100 and eventually a Pixel. The Pixel 1 was the phone where for everyday applications, it was good enough and in such a small form factor it outweighed the better results of a heavier dedicated camera.

Having said that, both my Pixel 1 and 2 died within 6 months of purchase. Pixel 1 was purchased in Jan 2017. Had the infamous microphone stopped working bug in March 2017. Google replaced with a refurb which lasted 1 year until the microphone and headphone jack stopped working. Got a pixel 2 which also had quality control issues where several months later it was stuck on a perma startup booting loop. I made the mistake of buying the pixel 2 online so I couldn't get it covered under warranty.

And here we are with the Pixel 3. As amazing as night sight is, it annoys me to hell that my girlfriends iphone 6s is still going strong after years. Pixels really are not that durable which sucks because the best part of a pixel is still miles and leaps above the competition.

EDIT: The newer Iphone cameras are getting better. If the Pixel 3 also dies within a few months, then I'm going to Apple because I can't justify buying a flagship phone every year.
