As an added bonus, (my DW is not easy on phones) neither of us has ever cracked a screen on these. They must use good glass!
On the third drop the glass was slightly cracked on the upper right corner. First of all, I made a pledge to always focus on what I am doing when I take my phone out of my pocket. ๐ I ordered myself a new Pixel 3 from Google (luckily they were on sale at the time) and when it was delivered I sent my phone with the broken glass to Google for repair (it still worked normally). It came back looking like new and my wife decided she wanted to use it to replace her Moto G 5S Plus because the Pixel was a little smaller and felt better in her hand.
The Moto G ended up with a grandson whose phone died when he was visiting with us. So we are a two Pixel family now and have been for a year and I have not dropped my phone again.
I have a Note 9 now, but my alternate choice would be the Pixel. I especially like the Pixel's quick updates from Google, where Samsung takes forever to update theirs. Then there's all that Samsung bloatware and Bixby, which to me is worthless and bothersome. I thought I wouldn't use the S pen, figuring it was fluff, but I've been quite surprised how much I use it; particularly for taking notes in the dark. I really like the Notes 4000 ma battery. Sometimes I don't charge it for 2 days. If they put out a Pixel with a bigger battery I'd buy it in a heartbeat when this gets older. Ashe, I commit my left front pocket to my phone. Nothing else but the phone, so it doesn't get scratched from coins or keys. So far so good, but my cats like to knock it off the end tables when I put it out.

Exactly our experience, we have had Samsung and Moto phones but my last three phones have been unlocked Google phones and I will never go back. The Moto phones are unlocked and priced lower than most and we had no problem with them. But the Google Pixel series have excellent cameras. Having an unlocked phone separates you from the carrier and Samsung apps that are not needed but can't be removed.
