Upgrading from a Google Pixel to a Pixel 3 will give you improvements in several areas, such as the display and processor. The Pixel 3 display is ½-inch larger as compared to the Pixel, going from 5.0-inches to 5.5-inches. However, the overall size of the phone only increases by 0.1-inch. The Pixel 3 display also added HDR support. Other features of the Pixel 3 include a Snapdragon 845 processor with Pixel Visual Core and Titan M security module, 4GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of internal storage. Other hardware related features include the Active Edge technology and water resistance, along with a dual-front facing camera setup and 12.2MP dual-pixel camera on the back.
