If you’re a university student in 2018, chances are you never really knew a life where smartphones weren’t necessary. Our entire lives are on our phones, and if we ever forget to bring it out with us, we feel naked. The unfortunate thing is that they are incredibly expensive – especially if they need to be replaced every few years. So as a student trying to pay your way through school, you need to find the balance between a great smartphone and a great price.
Enter Google Pixel 3.
Aside from a sleek design, the best part about this phone has got to be the camera – whether you’re outside during golden hour or in a dimly lit restaurant, you can be confident your photos will be of great quality. For the price you’re paying, you will get all the connectivity, apps, storage and speed you’re looking for, and in the age of Instagram and social media, having a better camera than competitors is nothing to shy away from!
Pros:
- The camera – great quality photos, no matter the light
- Water resistant – because we all need a little safety net
- Wireless charging – say goodbye to sitting on the floor next to your outlet!
Cons:
- No headphone jack (am I the only one disappointed by this trend?)
- If you need more memory than 64GB, you’ll have to buy a new phone (or delete some selfies)
Overall, the Google Pixel 3 has very few cons, and with a price a couple of hundred dollars lower than competitors, it’s the perfect fit for students!
