I own pixel 3 for a while now. didn't think I'd like a phone better than my old oneplus one. I almost exclusively browse & text but it's nice to have latest gadgets such as ARCore and I already used Google Search & Gmail so unless they gonna steal my IM messages they don't get much else. maybe just maps data. I opt off all ad IDs, tracking etc, but I take it with a grain of salt. I'm just not that interesting to have my data looked at by someone who's not a machine
