But Google says it's sold fewer Pixel phones year-over-year due to fierce smartphone competition on the high-end, leading to rumors the company is looking to build out the Pixel portfolio with a more affordable model. Google hints that "something big" will happen to the Pixel universe on May 7, and two names that have been floated so far are the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3 Lite.

While Google is rumored to be tinkering with a new model, owners still have gripes that haven't been resolved since the handsets' launch in October. The biggest issue Pixel 3 owners have with the handset relates to its camera, as detailed by 9to5Google. The Pixel 3 takes sharp photos, but owners say the camera's app is hobbled by speed and general unreliability. One Reddit user complains of a lag time of 12 seconds to fully launch the app.
