Coming from the Essential PH-1 and before that iOS devices I have to say I love the Pixel experience. The 3a XL feels very smooth and the stock Android experience feels more intuïtieve compared to the PH-1.
I am sticking with Pixels from now on going forward!

This is my first Pixel, coming from an LG G6. Not used to getting security patches so quickly, LG was always months behind. I was hesitant about the lack of storage, and no SD card capabilities, but I've managed to handle it well so far. I just don't download as much music as I used to, and just stream it.

I like this phone. Switched from a OnePlus 5 and while it is a downgrade in weight, dimensions and camera it's an improvement in screen size, screen scrolling/overall performance feel and speakers. Now when I look at other phones the Razer Phone just feels faster thanks to the 120Hz display.
Best phone I ever had. Even better than my Oppo Find 5.
Too heavy, small screen, and vibration motor is hideous.
1337/5 Stars! I love this phone.
Good hardware let down by really poor software support its a phone and it barely functions reliably in that task
I hate this phone.
very nice hardware. software and ergonomic design can definitely be improved

I didn't cry in the Titanic, but this phone keeps up. If 10 was the highest, I'd put it at a 7. Specs work well with the OS but suffer a bit in extreme multi tasking. Better than the other Moto phone's I've had though
As fast as those $1000 dollar phones.
Coming from a Pixel XL... the Moto Z3 Play is preforming just as good if not better. And the screen is nicer in my opinion. No regrets whatsoever about this phone!
A solid 7 out of 10.. I have a note 9 and Pixel 2xl.
I use the Z3 play the most.

Fast enough, it doesn't frustrate me or piss me off like some other mid-range phone I've owned have. It holds up fine. My wife has the Galaxy S9+ and I can totally tell the difference between build quality and speed but I'm happy with my Z3.

I agree with you, comparing it to a high end Samsung or most flagship phones is not really fair. But in it's range it's pretty damned good. No problems with general use. I picked one up a few months back unlocked US version with the battery mod included. on sale, plus some Best Buy money and a sale of a decent older phone for cheap. I needed something while my 3xl was out for repair. To be honest it performed far better than I expected. Use it on my Fi account. I know with the battery mod it can be bulky, but on the positive side it feels good in the hand. Just put a screen protector on it because I couldn't find a case which fit both, and honestly haven't tried to find a case since.
Coming from a Galaxy S6 Edge and this phone is worlds better. I can't speed to battery life on it just yet, but I am finding that the device can take everything I can throw at it so far and laugh. It does hiccup from time to time, but I honestly got this phone REFURB in Grade 'A' condition (looked brand new to me) for $175 after tax and I feel like I lucked out. I haven't had it close any apps on me just yet, and the UI is much snappier than my S6. I just updated everything to 9.0 and loving it more and more.
I'll report back in a few weeks but I'd buy this phone again in a heart beat. (it is a little big for me, but for $175 . . . I'll deal with it)
It's rather fast with 18W PD charger, but battery module is another story.

For a midrange budget phone and configuration offered. This phone is good with performance (6GB and 64GB). Camera is not that great, my Moto E4 verizon phone does much better than this. Of course without all the other bells whistles.
Love it. Worth the money it cost me. Love the fluidity, ease of use, charging speed, SoT, performance. For me camera quality is superb. No complaints at all. Just the ColorOS needs some tweaking and enhancements to make it more dev friendly.
Worth its money and much more than that. I expected a really smooth device with excellent preformance and in real life the phone even overdid my expectations. Can easily recommend.
Overall Love Rating : 8.4/10
i got the 4/128 varian, and love it too much, can play literary any games on playstore, multitask is good, just good because mine is only 4GB, the only downside is the front camera notch..
the best thing is the price totally worth it..
Bought this in 8/128 version, and am amazed how fluid it is. can compare it ( in routine daily use of call, text, social networking etc) to my Oneplus 6 (also 8/128). i think its best bang for the buck. Battery life is absolute stunning.

It's a very good phone.
Probably it's al little much expensive but it's a flagship.
Fast SoC, very good display and outstanding cameras. Probabliy it will get better with MIUI 12.
Love it. I'm a bit late to the MIUI game and went straight to 12 without trying 11. I've had no software issues.
If I had to pick something I don't like, the screen protector wasn't quite centred so after using a Spigen case it's peeling away at the top left.

I did not find any real-life reviews before buying the device, so understanding others who want the real-life review, I am taking time to give some info on the device here.
1. If you come from 6.5 in or lesser than that phones, you might feel the phone is a bit longer(narrow) and more weight. I came from iPhone XR(6.1), and I felt those two but M2 pro is not really hefty or bulky.
2. The fingerprint scanner better placed a little lower.
3. The body feels solid and premium.
4. Vibration feedback is something I prefer on phones, I did expect a lot after POCO mentioned z shocker haptics, but I did not satisfied completely because it is not like Oneplus or LG or iPhone series high haptic quality and not even bad or normal. To put it simply, it is beyond normal but not beyond awesome. But for others it will be good and satisfactory.
Overall love? You will not feel any special than any other Xiaomi phone. These are my personal findings. I did miss a lot of usual things mentioning here, but I think you can get those details anywhere.
