The Google Pixel 3 is a 2018 Android 9.0 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm SDM845 Snapdragon 845 (10 nm) with 4GB and 128GB | 64GB internal storage. It features a 5.5", P-OLED, HDR, 1080.0x2160.0 display and is available in Clearly White, Just Black, Not Pink.

The Pixel 3 is equipped with a Li-Po 2915 mAh, non-removable, a 2 MP, 4K@30fps, 1080p@30/60/120fps, 1080p@30fps (gyro-EIS) main camera, a 8 MP, 1080p@30fps front camera. The device uses a Nano-SIM + eSIM configuration. It weighs 148 g.

A bootloop on the Google Pixel 3 occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

1

On your Google Pixel 3: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

2

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)

6

Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
