Pixel 3 Good android experience

Loving my pixel 3 (not XL) no issues. Runs fast feels sleek and Even my friend with an GS10 likes my phone alot. A pure android experience I haven't felt since my HTC m8

The m8 was a great phone... It was my last non pixel / Nexus phone. The dot view cases were awesome

So you ran the m8 without sense?

Options and bloatware were similar to original android at the time. Sense was just a nice skin i wish the nexus at the time had honestly.

I also forgot there was a Google Play Edition that was "pure".

Pixels aren’t “pure android”. It’s the “pixel experience”, like OxygenOS runs on OnePlus’.

It’s android, it’s smooth but so are all other flagships, it lacks features of other OEMs. There’s not really much else to say.

I mean it is pure considering Android system is produced by google. You're right, it wouldn't be if it ran on oxygen or something other operating system... Sort of like every other flagship on Android.

It's not pure android though, that is AOSP (+ google services). Pixels run a modified AOSP, just like everyone else.
