Google unveiled its new flagship phones last months since then they are the most talked about phones in the market. The phone has all top notch things in it such as Snapdragon 845 chip, amazing front and back camera, great screen, good battery life etc. We all know this as they are the flagships so we can not doubt about it.
The question comes when we talk about their prices. Does this phone deliver the performance for the money it takes? Should a customer select this option against the products available in the market? so let’s answer these questions.

An aluminum and glass phone holds a strong build. Pixel 3 has Android pie and great software experience. The phone runs super smooth and fast, however, it is asking for a lot of money, a lot of phones exist such as Oneplus 6 & 6T, Asus Zenfone 5Z, Poco F1 etc. has almost similar or in some cases even better performance however they ask for less money.
When phones like Oneplus asking almost half the price of Pixel while delivering similar performance, then why a customer should go for Pixel 3? Pixel is delivering amazing software experience and this experience will be there for a longer time period compared to other flagships still I feel Pixel does not deliver price to performance for me.
If the phone is focusing on markets such as India then this is serious No No, and the company might face the same in price sensitive markets. The phone is very expensive for what it delivers. Should a customer just be paying 70-80 k (INR) or $ 799 starting in the US? Yes, if you have money and 70-80k does not affect your lifestyle and you can easily pay or you have decent savings (at-least 10 times of this amount), just go for it, you will never regret else go for phones such as Oneplus, Asus, LG, MI.
Pixel really delivers great performance but not at this cost. Do not get me wrong, the phone is great but does not justify its price to value ratio.
