New smartphones sure are exciting when they're announced just like that, your current phone isn't the latest and greatest.

But hold on a second.

Sure, the Pixel 4 has a second camera lens, a first for a Pixel phone, as well as more recent specs that are common in 2019 flagships. And it has radar technology, for Pete's sake. But take a look back at the Pixel 3 is it really that much different than the Pixel 4?

At the core, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 are essentially the same phone. You get the pure Android experience from Google, as well as the best cameras on any smartphone.

I'd even say that buying the Pixel 3 instead of the Pixel 4 wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

Check out eight reasons why you should stick to your Pixel 3, and why anyone looking to buy a new smartphone could save $300 skipping Google's new hotness of 2019.
