I currently have and have had a Google Pixel 3 for two years. Since then there have been 3 new Pixel phones that have come out ( I think). I want to stay with the Pixel platform because for me with a phone that is running so much Google software it has been the simplest and smoothest running phone. Google hardware paired with Google software and the Google made Android platform all working together. I am definitely not a technically savvy person so would it be worth it for me to upgrade to any of the newer Pixel phones? Are there features on the newer versions that would be worth me changing and transferring everything? I would like some opinions on upgrading and if so to what phone.

Pixel 4 does not include free unlimited storage of original quality images on Google Photos, and has a smaller battery than the Pixel 3. I don't know about the Pixel 5 photo storage, but I suspect it is the same as the Pixel 4. Pixel 5 doesn't have a "flagship" processor. Both 4 and 5 do have new features the 3 does not. You'll have to determine if the new features are worth losing features the 3 has. I'm staying with my Pixel 3.

I would stay with my pixel 3 just because Google when tries to listen and makes us think they are... they do it in the wrong way... Pixel 4 is not worth the money to upgrade from 3 just because of the fancy stuff they added to make us think it is... and the 5 is just a wasted launch, because ppl wanted pixel to be cheaper, but not at the cost of not using the best Snapdragon available, which makes the 5 an entry level phone with a good software camera... The 3 will be the best release so far with size, software and snapdragon processor for now... we will have to wait until they decide to make the 6 as good as the 3.

Wait for the 6. We will be approaching end of life on the 3, and we should actually have an upgrade. My wife has a 4, not noticeably better than the 3 - and the 5 only brings 5G tech, not any phone improvements. A year from now the 5G phones should have the wrinkles ironed out.
