Google Pixel 3 counts with a little longer battery lifetime than Google Pixel, because it has a 2915mAh battery size against 2770mAh. Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel have incredibly similar cameras, because although the Google Pixel 3 has a smaller sensor giving a lower image quality, a lower 3840x2160 video quality and a less megapixels back facing camera, it also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture to capture better images and videos in poorly lited situations.
Although Google Pixel is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Pixel 3, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Google Pixel 3. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Google Pixel, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Google Pixel 3, letting go some features and specifications.
