I need a good camera and excellent performance with good battery life.

Terrible hardware compared to other devices of same price tag. You can't compare the hardware features of a google phone to the likes of Samsung, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi etc of same price tag. I've compared all the pixel phones ever produced to their counterparts from other brands produced the same year and the only thing place where google phones tend to match up is the Camera aspect. Even talking about camera, Google pixel phones don't shot the best videos either in 4k or 1080 formats. Newer Huawei phones of 2020 will obliterate any Google phone ever produced in low light shots and zoom tests, google also tend to underclock the processors that come in some of their phones making their phones lose out in speed tests when compared to other devices like OnePlus, Huawei etc.
Check out the new stupid pixel 5 with the price tag of a flagship device and the hardware of a midrange device I can't spend 699 dollars on a Pixel 5 when we still have OnePlus and Xiaomi devices in the market that will give me a bigger processor, bigger screen, bigger battery, better camera hardware with larger microns (all thanks to the new pixel binding technology), fast charging speeds and a much better premium feel.

I will take you serious when you use one of the device..
I use Pixel 2 for almost 2 years now, forgot specs on paper... You will be interacting with software and not Hardware..

Software and security is more important to me.. Camera on pixel 2 still compete with S20

What phone do you use? You are one of those easily fooled by the number games of these manufacturers.

Meanwhile, OP I use Pixel 4a. I can assure you that you won't regret getting it. But I can't say anything about Poco X3. But I think the online reviews about it are good.

All I can tell you is that Google compensates for its lack of the latest hardware with its software an makes it better than devices with a better hardware

A very good example is their camera the same main sensor since the original pixel or the pixel 2 but their cameras get better and better, even better than devices with all the latest camera hardware

Just imagine if Google could use the latest hardware combined with their software


If the Google ends up performing better for example in the camera department than devices with the latest hardware why shouldn't he buy it?

Besides the chances of him Installing googles gcam on the poco is high and it's still doesn't make it better than the pixel and I'm like why not just go for a device made for Googles camera if you'll end up installing a moded and substandard version compared to the original

Which flagship device is 699? Which brand?

Okoto meow full this your text abeg

You no even dey fear.

Nice, how much did you get it for?

Between the two of them, i will go for the pixel 4a especially the 5g,because of
1) software updates
2) it has ip rating
3) camera
But if it was Samsung or Lg flagship against the Pixel, i will gladly reject the pixel 5

Bros u just talked out of point, One plus nord is way beta that the pixel 4a but its a Chinese phone, the mi 10 ultra is way beta that the pixel 5, Huawei mate 40 pro camera is way beta than any pixel camera but it from China, pixel has lost its camera advantage also apple have lost its processor to snapdragon

way better ? I disagree , you can say it's better in some specific areas not saying it's way better

Even online reviewers will never say it's way better

. I'm very sure you haven't used either of the device before you came to this conclusion

minus in the camera department

The pixel 4a is better than the one plus Nord even though the one plus has a better camera sensor

You're wrong, google asn't lost it

Let's wait for their flagship and hope they'll start using the latest sensors coupled with their software


Processor wise you're also wrong the apple bionic especially for the iPads is crazily fast

Where are you getting your facts from?

Go for the Poco X3 if you're interested in gaming and running your phone to the max (entertainment) but if you want a good camera long lasting software and a all round phone the pixel will do no wrong .The choice is still yours pick according to your preference and you won't be disappointed

Apart from camera there is nothing else, even the so called stock people scream of, some android phones with good UI like Samsung, LG, oneplus have more features than it.

Tech wannabes that don't know anything about phones here discrediting Xiaomi,LG,Huawei....the audacity of some people sef google pixel can be called out in the same breath as those manufacturers stated above....i don't blame u guys sha....i blame xiaomi for producing mid-range phones to help average people...if they had sticked to flagship devices....pretty sure this nonsense won't be here calling chinese phones crap

Using the antutu benchmark, the snapdragon 865+ beat the A14 and for the camera department the pixel 5 didn't meet up to its pixel standard

The xiaomi dey are insulting is the best in term of camera, the Xiaomi Mi 10 ultra is rated the best in camera according to dxomark.com which is known for rating cameras

the iPad doesn't use the a14 chip it uses a way faster chip
The test was not done with the consumers device, it was done with a factory device and leaked
Check out the results now
Do your research and get your facts right

Which kind prejudice be this? So because America own pixel and iPhone, that made it superior to Huawei and Xiaomi? FYI kirin 9000 is slightly faster than the latest Apple bionic 14, and it's own by the Chinese

If security is important to you, Use IOS or Pixel Android that's why they are expensive..

Na so.. I wonder what type of security i need when I'm not into fraud or anything illegal.

My phone is on password, even if it get lost, the person who stole it will have to wipe it and that means he can't have access to my data.

Like my xiaomi device, even after unlocking it before formatting I still need to input my xiaomi account password before i can do anything.

The difference between both is that your phone will be useless for other users to use, that's all.

You use cloud, I use cloud too and I can easily get back my important files I uploaded.

So what security are you even talking about, are we really secured in this 21st century?

Lg g8 is even better than the Pixel 4 even though it came out months before the Pixel 4.

Other device are matching up to pixel in term of cameras, they are just overhyped.

It's unfortunate the LG device is under rated, who be pixel? Old glory.
