We have all waited for the Google flagship and the flagship has arrived. Just recently launched, Google Pixel 3 has already risen to great acclaim among the smartphone community. While the enormous notch stirred a debate ever since the original leaks, many argue that the exceptional features of the phone make up for it. Anyway, to each their own, but as a tech enthusiast, I feel obliged to warn you of the many Google Pixel 3 Problems that come with the smartphone as reported by a number of users over the past week.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 3 at a glance seems like a completely capable smartphone. One that features a plethora of exciting features especially the camera potential. However, you will be surprised at how unstable the phone currently is. The issues I am going to address are primarily centered around software and so can be fixed via a simple OTA update. However, Google is yet to take action.<\/p>\n
Normally I am not too bothered by initial issues in a smartphone especially when the said issues are OS based but in Google Pixel’s case, the problems have been reiterated by a sizeable portion of the online smartphone community. On websites like Reddit and Xdadevelopers, there are a plethora of posts regarding some of the problems.<\/p>\n
Problems cited under this heading allude to the poor memory management on Pixel 3.<\/p>\n
This is sort of odd to say but apparently, the Pixel 3 might have inadequate\u00a0RAM. As reported by multiple users, the smartphone automatically\u00a0closes apps in the background without any permission or indication. While there are plenty of other phones that rock the same 4 GB RAM as Pixel, Pixel, however, seems to be struggling with the 4 GB of RAM.<\/p>\n
We know that as more advanced games and apps surface on the market, the RAM requirement goes up as well and so naturally phones that feature 6 and 8 gigs of RAM tend to do generally better. However, we didn’t expect 4 GB to become inadequate so quickly.<\/p>\n
I think it would have been prudent of Google to have gone with at least 6 GB of RAM on their flagship as pointed out by many industry experts.<\/p>\n
Here is a demonstration of the problem<\/p>\n
