Are Google’s latest flagships worth the upgrade? Let’s find out in our detailed Pixel 6 vs older Google smartphones comparison.
Other flagships were priced similarly, so the Pixel 3 series pricing wasn’t too surprising, though. The Pixel 3 XL, in particular, brought with it a handful of firsts for the series. It had a (huge) notch, a more premium build quality, an IP rating for dust and water resistance, wireless charging, and a dual-camera setup for your selfie needs. It was much harder to justify the Pixel 3’s price, which missed most of these features. These weren’t bad phones by any stretch, just more expensive than they should have been.

The processing package is still capable, and the camera is really good. It will also get Android 12, but that’s the end of the road as far as major upgrades are concerned, so if you’re not upgrading now, you’ll want to jump ship for the Pixel 7! That said, the two phones are showing their age, so if you’re looking for an upgrade, now is a great time to do so. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are better than their 2018 counterparts in every way. You’ll get better performance, more RAM and storage,5G support, and a fresh, new design. And, remember, you won’t even be paying as much as you did for the Pixel 3 series back in the day. But these weren’t flagship replacements by any means.
