The video is misleading: it says on of the worst things in Google Pixel 3 is "notch & chin", where in fact Pixel 3 does not have any notch, Pixel 3 XL does.
Pixel 3 XL owner here and I couldn't be happier. Notch doesn't bother me. It's worth the trade off for the incredible speakers. And the screen is beautiful
Yep. I'm about to pick it up myself from Google Store. I played with the phone in the store for a few hours, and I gotta say, I don't see what the big deal is about the notch. Why people make it such a huge issue? I didn't see a problem with it. And got awesome good speakers, specially since my little one like to wtch cartoons, its awesome compared to my current Pixel XL. Cant wait to get this phone in my hands.
C P you won't regret it. I came from the pixel 2 XL and it's a bigger upgrade then you would think. The build quality is so much better. And the call screen is probably one of my favorite features of the phone, it's super useful
TeamOG I'm still on Pixel 2 and won't upgrade due to the fact the screen size has been increased 🤬 I mean """5inch was smaller model""' is perfect but anything more is Overkill!!!! 5.5inch isn't my thing
I am a Pixel 3 xl owner for a little over a month, and I LOVE IT!! The fluidity of the software is un-matched and it is as smooth as "butter!!" I have had an update on a monthly basis; improving the phone in significant ways! The camera is un-matched as well, and the "Night Site" operation is the best! Premium quality feel to the phone and the speakers are tremendous! Call quality is superior and the call screen function works perfectly. While working in the phone, I rarely even see the "notch," and the speakers and the "groupie" camera are so good that the notch is an after-thought for me! I am chalking the following up to competitive zeal, every time it is mentioned; only 4GB of RAM and no expandable storage!! Under these circumstance, what amazes me is the lack of mention that Pixel 3 owners get unlimited storage for pics and documents with Google Pics! Also, I have ALL the apps I need, and many I don't need, and I have many of them open at the same time. I have NEVER experienced the closing of an app due to limited RAM!! No slow-downs and no hic-ups! It would appear that RAM management is a "software issue" and not of hardware. Could it be that other phone makers are attempting to justify high costs by manufacturing phones with 6GB to 10GB?! Maybe Google is showing us that ALL that we receive with these other phones is unnecessary!
I'm considering getting the Pixel 3 from Verizon due to its camera and video camera. This video was helpful. Thanks for sharing, good job on the production and narration.
@MarkDaNerd That's a pretty ignorant comment because it's clear that many of us do. Companies only started removing it because Apple did and they think if they follow they'll become as successful.
I myself can't believe people were buying shitty mid-range iPhone X clones just because they have a headphone jack. I worked in a Vivo dealership and the first thing I kept overheard from customers is "hey this thing has a headphone jack!" They do care, but these companies are slowly conditioning consumers into thinking that removing the jack is justified www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/11/16/18098973/pixel-3-lite-leak-rozetked-headphone-jack-google www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-pixel-3-sarco-news/ www.technobuffalo.com/2018/11/16/pixel-3-lite-leak-headphone-jack/
MarkDaNerd You're right and they *want* phones with it. Understanable since in the Southeast Asian market, people can barely afford a mid-range phone, let alone a bluetooth headset. But here's the funny thing: market removes jack, rather few dissident voices, this is seen as the market obliged on removing the jack. Now there's more phones out without jacks, market thinks no one needed it, but the voices started to become louder, and right now we're on a thin line whether to go full out on no jack or with jack. Don't forget China, where Xiaomi, the biggest iShill out there removed the jack since the Mi 6 with angry fans revolting about it. While Oppo and Vivo kept it with sighs of relief
Depends. Most of the west doesn't seem to care since they're so well off, I'd argue they prefer having a jack, because at least you will have a fallback option
This guy is very good. I had a Samsung S7 which I liked a lot but now with this Pixel 3 it feels like a very fast race car in comparison. the camera is incredible. and the pictures I took with the Samsung show up so much better in the display. The Samsung was a little easier to use though.
The memory management is what took me from the 2XL to the OnePlus 6T. Even though it's a bug now, Google should've at least put 6GB RAM in it. Multitasking while playing a game like Asphalt is hell.
I probably will go with the 3 over the XL. I simply do not like a notch on any phone. To be absolutely honest I do not understand that trend that so much emphasis is out on screens that go etch to etch. Honestly that is my least important criteria. Sure don't waste a lot of space but leave enough for some good front facing speakers and the cameras. Done. This hole hype is way overboard.
@@benoakland8805 it depends on the type of notch. Like the pixel 3 xl and iPhone XS notch are terrible but notches like the one on OnePlus 6t or even the 6 are good and effective
After I stopped following all the reviewers, i started being happy with almost all my smartphones, I hate the drama just digging for likes. I'm a tech fan and I'm always buying smartphones to test them and have some fun. Now I've got the, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, Pixel 3 xl, iPhone XS Max.... And my favorite one is the Pixel 3 xl. Besides all the bullshit I hear everyday.... So if you like a smartphone, just buy it. If don't like it, sell it, but prove it by yourself... They are always judging shit by their own taste....
You should search for videos on the Pixel 3 XL up against the Mate 20 Pro. Photos from the pixel has a yellowish tinge. And FYI, iPhones enjoy iOS update support for up to 5 years, not google’s measly 3.
I have been using 3xl, I used 2xl. I can definitely say that I am so impressed by Google. And no I am not a Fanboy. But I can feel the quality that Google offers. Software is so smooth and secure. 3xl screen is solid and just as I want it to be, unlike Samsung phones being unrealistically vivid. Even if there are bugs and things that need fixing, I always see that Google ends up fixing them and follows up. Great customer service is also a plus. I am happy and apparently will stick to Google phones.
I personally still like the Pixel 3 XL but I'm going to hold onto my 2 XL to see what next year brings, God willing. I'm actually still rocking my Moto 360 2nd gen also (I thought I might be the only one).
Wow glad I'm not alone too haha, a few weeks ago my 2nd gen Moto 360 was updated to that new wear os even though it was mentioned before that it won't receive that update.
@@Amr1Elnaka I never got anything concrete saying that it wouldn't be updated but I assumed it wouldn't. I was thankful that it did get the new Wear OS update, not I just need a new battery.
I'm getting a Pixel 3 XL, regardless. I want it to hold me out until the Pixel 4 XL or the Note 10. All flagship devices are "over priced" in some form of fashion, and they all have bugs...some which never are fixed. Most consumers just want a phone that works, and us more tech savvy or intrigued want a "Frankenstein" type device. At this point in the tech world...there are numerous options, but all have some kind of shortcoming. The tech world is [probably] to afraid to design the "perfect" device/phone in fear of no one buying anything else, and ruling the element of competition. Ultimately, I'm going to get what I want... You all do the same
agreed...just like they have the cure for cancer...chemo makes them more money, so why cure those with cancer.LOL so why not drag it out. Its all about stretching profit margins. lol
@@tverbs8719 That is what happen to Jerry Lewis ... Dr. Wallach passes research to Jerry Lewis regarding a cure and prevention for muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis. Jerry Lewis hands the over the data to the MD Foundation and he is quietly and immediately fired along with any supporters on his crew. The telethon was then cut down to 3 hours.
@Matt Frazier - Pixel is the way to go in that aspect. I have a Pixel 2 and I can say it just gets better and better like there is this thing if you want to follow your teams score without leaving the screen you are on you can just see it in a floating window which you can do with phone calls as well. Screening calls, updated camera functions is all the while the reasons Pixel wins. Instead of upgrading I just got a Pixel Slate which is great for what I use it for.
Loss of a headphone jack is not a big deal to me as I always use a Bluetooth headsets and occasionally when I use a wired headphones u could always use the type c headphones or a type c connector to the headphones.. however the notch is hideous and 4 GB ram is too less for the price.
+ audio jack is also used for FM Radio. So, no radio now? Also, that C port being used for everything will wear out and then your screwed. As on my older LG phone, I no longer can charge my battery. Have to take out battery and charge it with a bench top variable power supply. Am looking at Samsung 9 note as yet to hear any reviews on pixle's image stabilization comparisons - which the G9 Note scored best so far. that I can find.
Interesting review of the Google 3XL phone, was going to buy one but it seems that the phone isn't so perfect after all now that these issues have been brought up, thanks guys
I turned off the notch and I dont mind having it this way because I was a Pixel 2 XL user and I just wanted a better quality screen and wireless charging and loud speakers and no, I dont want a non-Pixel phone. I'm always a Nexus/Stock Android kind of a person
I’m waiting for the Pixel 4. Give me at least 6gb of ram with Snapdragon 855 and I’m there. I’m an iPhone user since the 3GS but my friend got the Pixel 3 and I was using it and damn stock Android is amazing. No extra bullshit and the phone is so smooth. Pixel 4 this fall I’m jumping ship so don’t disappoint me Google.
Everybody says that if you disable the notch, you may as well get the Pixel 3. I couldn't disagree more. When you disable the notch which is approximately .3 inches you're still left with about 6 inch screen. That's still noticeably bigger than the 5.5 Pixel. It seems silly to to me to say that when you're also still getting a better battery. I'm sure Pixel 3 XL owners out there can confirm this. I'm actually considering getting either a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL. These phone companies have lost their minds with these flat screen tv's posing as phones these days!
It have a top of line snapdragon but it's nearly 2019 and not to mention then 845 on a pixel is downclocked at like 2.5 ghz and it still thermal throttles
Wait wait wait. Pixel 3... No bloatware? I suppose everyone defines it differently, but I own a 3a and had to uninstall a few dozen unwanted apps when I bought this phone. Just because they're made by Google doesn't mean they're not bloatware. And not to mention all of the features that are turned on out of the box that hog battery, are creepy, or both. If you don't care about privacy or lean software then you'll probably be satisfied, but I've had a hell of a time trying to turn it all off. Then there are tons of other miscellaneous annoyances. Why does Wi-Fi scanning turn on every time you enable location services from a prompt? Why does the phone app require Google Play Services to have access to SMS, Calendar, Body Sensors, etc.? It'll work fine if you revoke those permissions, but it will still spam "Oh no, I'm broken" notifications that you can't disable. Why does every settings menu show like four options and hide the rest in one or more expandable menus? That adds so many extra taps when going through the settings and makes some normal settings hard to find. Why can't I even *disable* Gboard, Pixel Launcher, etc. when I have alternatives installed? Why can't I disable Android System Webview when I have no interest in in-app web browsing and always want web links to open in Firefox? Why is flicking right from the pill at the bottom of the screen so inconsistent? It should always take you to the last app you had open, but like every third time it opens another app entirely. And, for that matter, why is the motion to flick right when the prevous app is to the left in the recent apps view? That's inconsistent design. Gesture navigation on Pie is horrible, but I fundamentally don't like that shift. A swipe is a more difficult and more tiring action than a tap (especially over long periods of use), swipes register worse than a tap if you have sweaty hands or if there's water on the display, and most screens are at least 2:1 now so there's more space than ever for on-screen buttons. Hell, in Pie, you have on screen buttons but you still need to gesture! What's the point if you're not even saving screen space? I could go on and on with these. Despite how much the tech press talks it up, Android Pie on the Pixel is bloated garbage compared to how Android used to be on the Nexus line. Using stock Android in 2019 should not make me want to jump ship for LineageOS and get me nostalgic for KitKat...
One of the main drawback of the pixel device it doesn't support VOLTE with most of the carrier in the world... So when we are on the call we can't use internet data it goes on (3g or H)..no LTE while calling
Google should look at Samsung's take on navigation gestures via good lock's one hand operation plus. It has a bit of a learning curve but feels smooth af once you get used to it.
I just want a phone with note 9 or samsung S10 beautiful high ppi display but without front facing camera and infinity display(rounded sides) Back screen like the Nubia X but just a small 2cm square screen to see myself if a selfie is even going to happen. Fast wireless charging that is able to charge other phones. 3500+ mah battery. Camera from Pixel, that stabilization is resembling a gimbal, + 4k60fps. 64gb minimum with expansion slot, if you're a savvy photographer or take lots of videos. Base android os. And around 600 GBP :D
Well I subscribe to this today and I'm waiting for my pixel 3 XL this is good stuff to know and I will definitely pay more attention in the future thanks for the review
The cons are that I just fucking bought the phone and I get a notification that is $200 off for Black Friday on googles website and I'm going to fucking die I hate my life
The Notch is irrelevant with the App "Natcho Notch". The memory issue is real and annoying. My biggest issue is with the CAMERA, yes the camera. It takes great pictures, that is NOT the problem. The problem is how slow the camera is. It takes pictures extremely slow compared to all other competitors. If you use a mode where it takes a photo faster, the quality is diminished dramatically. Also the fact it has zero manual controls and third party apps do not perform at a high level on the phone. With all that said, I still have and love my Pixel 3 XL. This issue needs to be fixed and they need to be talked about. Yet to see a single video addressing them.
Otter box on E bay is affordable it is drop proof for me but the highest drop from me would be 3-4' and no harm I have had this box on my Pixel2 for about two years and the phone is like new.
I have like no idea what like any of the special terms you used even in the comments cause I'm just used to a flip phone and I'm getting a pixel 3 in like 5 days. And yes, flip phones still exist.
If you have Verizon you will permanently lose access to Verizon voicemail app in the Pixel 3, this app enables you to manage listen and delete vmail right from the phone app without calling in *86. Verizon store told me there is no way to add or download this into the phone because of the Google pixel software, but any other phone they sell at the Verizon store comes with it. Had I known this beforehand I would not have got the Google pixel 3A.
Is it just me or that the only reason that smartphones nowadays cost a shit load of money because they want turn a phone into a Nikon camera? I must be one of those people who don't give two fucks about the camera and only care about the hardware and software of the phone
I just got my pixel 3xl and I'm thrilled. Except...about the speakers. So I ask you pixel owners, do your phones also have this bad sound coming through ? Mine is clearly sizzling, and the speakers'volume difference is really noticeable...for an almost 1000€ phone, I think it's really disappointing...
I am considering the 3 instead of the 3 XL (which I've been using for a few days) bc of the notch, the size and the fact the two are pretty much the same in features
seriously nit-picking. I will agree with you on the vibrating back during calls or audio playback. That does make it feel cheap. The rest of your "issues" are for someone who is a high end user like yourself. Joe or Jane regular customer will never pick up on it.
1000 to be a beta tester. I was going to buy a pixel 3 to avoid the notch but he it has way to many issues to justify the price. All these companies pushing out incomplete phones like video games without updates. I will be picking up a iPhone 8 256gb black Friday, I'm a liftetime Android fan boy but this is too much
Ok, question. Last year I went from the Galaxy note 5, to the iPhone x. This was my first jump from Android to ios in a while. And it was nice while it lasted. Would you guys consider it a good hardware upgrade going from the x to the pixel 3? (Not XL )
not sure, 4 GB of RAM will probably not be enough in the near future and iPhone's a11 seems like a better option than pixel's snapdragon 845. I'm actually thinking right now if I should get an X or Pixel, pixel's camera is really impressive but I'm quite disappointed by the fact that 60 fps video recording is not supported even in Full HD
You can change the animation speed from 1 to 0,5 and it's fluid like the other phones. It's hidden in developer settings. Just test it your own. It's much much better (in my opinion). Btw, I found much more "issues" of the Pixel 3 XL. At least it's software issues, so we can pray for the best: productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/phone-by-google/0v5zXzqwsFc;context-place=forum/phone-by-google
I am confused with the Google Pixel 3 Google Pixel 3 xl Google Pixel 3a Google Pixel 3a xl Which one is better i am confused probably because of the names or something I’m not even sure what I’m confused with

i might be the odd one out but I don't like that the Pixel camera makes pictures taken at night look like it was taken in the daytime. That ruins the whole point of taking a picture at night. Certain elements of a moment are lost when a person can't tell if a photo is taken at night.
i dont mind the notch because its smalling than the ipone (which have not bought since the 4). the "chin" is lil overboard but I am not a skate. good phone.
Widgets don't work. They don't update automatic. Like my MLB, ESPN , Weather . However they will update while phone is charging. Anyone out has a problem with the widgets?
I just got my Google Pixel 3 xl this year in 2024 lol and it was 124.00$ not bad. And how did they get the app draw selection like that when switching though them? On this video i can't find the time frame srybut it had them in a circle kinda when switching them
I have the Pixel 2 right now and love it. Out of all the phones of I've had it's had the longest battery, the best amout of space since I get free google storage leaving me with more room for apps, a better sound, screen, and camera. After I pay this off and get my use out of it I am definitely sticking with Google Pixels. I really want to go to the Pixel 3 XL but if the 4th one has come out when I'm ready to upgrade, that's what I'll go for. I don't mind the notch and I honestly feel like people make way too much of a deal about the minor inconvience. Removing the audio jack is more of an issue in my opinion.
Come on guys! I think you are all exaggerating a bit with the vibration from the back of the phone. I mean, you feel it, right. But it's like complaining because you feel vibrations every time you ride your car. You just get lost in what you are looking on the screen. It's nothing distracting. About the notch, that doesn't bother me at all. You get used to it, believe me. I am now 2 weeks with my Pixel 3XL and my only complain is the mic. sound quality. It is unacceptable.
Definitely. I bought the iPhone Xs Max as soon as it was available and sure, it is a great phone. I love how smooth, fast and "sweet" the iOS interfaces is. Nothing like face ID and the fluidity of those gesture. But even though that, iPhone is not there yet with the OS. The level of personalisation you get on native Android is above iPhone. Don't get me wrong, iPhone xs max is an amazing phone, but it is not for me. I accepted the penalties (not that good gestures, a little bit slower, etc) for a better software. Oh and, that Pixel camera is in a whole new level...
I am very disappointed with the google pixel 3 phone AND google services. Google dropped the ball multiple times in their customer service and did not compensate for their mistakes in any way besides “I sincerely apologize.” I decided to not get a warranty from Best Buy where I bought the phone because google offered a 1 yr manufacturing warranty. This was a big mistake. I bought the google pixel 3 because of the camera. The camera broke, which apparently is a problem for this phone (according to what I found online). First step to try and fix the phone is reformatting. I needed a google assistant to walk me through the steps to back up my material and reformat the phone. I asked the assistant 3 times if my photo and recordings were backed up (I confirmed this by looking at the transcripts of our conversation). She checked and confirmed that all was backed up. However, all of my recordings were lost. This set me back quite a bit with my work. Google ‘sincerely apologized’ (there wasn’t much else they could do with this one. And this same response was given when I felt there were other alternatives to fix their mistakes). The camera wasn’t fixed so I had to send my phone in and they would send a new one back to me. This means going without a phone for 2-3 weeks weeks. Within a month of receiving the “new” phone, the battery dies completely by noon (4-5 working hours). I question if I had received a new phone or a refurbished phone? The phone that I sent in because of a broken camera battery lasted much longer and it was several months old. Also the finger print sensor was significantly less sensitive than the first pixel 3 phone I had (another reason why I think they may have sent me a refurbished phone). I now had to send the phone in again, go another 2-3 weeks without a phone. I was very disappointed with this product as it was said to be one of the better phones on the market and it wasn’t cheap. I requested a refund instead of another draw out exchange for a ‘new’ phone. I was told I would hear back from someone within 5 days. It took them 3 weeks to get back to me. And all I received was an email saying please call us. I called 6 more times until we finally arrived to unfavorable and disappointing answer. Each representative that I talked to said they would look into the issue and get back to me. Some promised to call me back within the hour, others the next day, some said in 1-3 days. No one ever got back to me so I had to continue to call and share my process all over again. On the 4th and 5th call, I asked to stay on the line while they looked into it since the previous representatives didn’t get back to me. Each time they assured me they would personally take are of it and promised to get back to me. I am a trusting person and so went along. The google assistants were very nice; however, they all lacked follow through. This process went on for another 2 weeks and hours and hours on the phone with google. Each time I had told them that I am leaving the country right after christmas and thus am running out of time to send the phone in to get a ‘new’ one. They finally gave me an answer saying that their policy does not allow exchanges and cannot help me in getting a phone faster than within their 2-3 weeks exchange rate. It took me 6 weeks to get to this answer and I am now out of time because of leaving the country to get a replacement. All of this is clearly documented and recorded and they were not willing to compensate for their multiple mistakes in any way. They would just say. “I sincerely apologize.” Google does not allow you to leave a review on their site where you can purchase the phone directly. I also do not think this is a good sign. I do not recommend this phone or anything that will require you to rely upon google services.
you missed XL in your title, it's not much about Pixel 3.

To be absolutely honest I do not understand that trend that so much emphasis is out on screens that go etch to etch. Honestly that is my least important criteria. Sure don't waste a lot of space but leave enough for some good front facing speakers and the cameras. Done. This hole hype is way overboard.
Andreas Weigl totally agree
You can just “hide a notch” which is a feature of the system and pixel 3 xl just turns into a bigger pixel 3
Why r people so against the notch.
They don't bother me at all. It is in the notification tab
@@benoakland8805 it depends on the type of notch. Like the pixel 3 xl and iPhone XS notch are terrible but notches like the one on OnePlus 6t or even the 6 are good and effective
@@benoakland8805 iPhone XS and pixel 3 xl notch are just too big. What's worse is the pixel 3 xl has a large chin
After I stopped following all the reviewers, i started being happy with almost all my smartphones, I hate the drama just digging for likes. I'm a tech fan and I'm always buying smartphones to test them and have some fun.
Now I've got the, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, Pixel 3 xl, iPhone XS Max.... And my favorite one is the Pixel 3 xl. Besides all the bullshit I hear everyday.... So if you like a smartphone, just buy it. If don't like it, sell it, but prove it by yourself... They are always judging shit by their own taste....
Couldn't agree more !!
Still keeping my Pixel 3 XL. Decided to skip picking up the Galaxy S10. I'll wait on the Pixel 4 XL instead. 😁 Good job Google 👌
You should search for videos on the Pixel 3 XL up against the Mate 20 Pro. Photos from the pixel has a yellowish tinge. And FYI, iPhones enjoy iOS update support for up to 5 years, not google’s measly 3.
I have been using 3xl, I used 2xl. I can definitely say that I am so impressed by Google. And no I am not a Fanboy. But I can feel the quality that Google offers. Software is so smooth and secure. 3xl screen is solid and just as I want it to be, unlike Samsung phones being unrealistically vivid. Even if there are bugs and things that need fixing, I always see that Google ends up fixing them and follows up. Great customer service is also a plus. I am happy and apparently will stick to Google phones.
Hi, I'm considering getting one of these on Amazon for $249 new, should i?
Pixel 3 xl 5 worst things?
*Simple*
1. N
2.O
3.T
4.C
5.H
Yeah wtf is that thing
you can disable it
So, did the RAM issue get resolved?
I personally still like the Pixel 3 XL but I'm going to hold onto my 2 XL to see what next year brings, God willing. I'm actually still rocking my Moto 360 2nd gen also (I thought I might be the only one).
Wow glad I'm not alone too haha, a few weeks ago my 2nd gen Moto 360 was updated to that new wear os even though it was mentioned before that it won't receive that update.
@@Amr1Elnaka I never got anything concrete saying that it wouldn't be updated but I assumed it wouldn't. I was thankful that it did get the new Wear OS update, not I just need a new battery.
@@ruben79nyc I had my battery replaced last month, try contacting Motorola and ask about it.
Amr Elnaka I never would have thought to ask them. Thanks, I'll try it out!
I miss my moto 360, i wish the first gen didnt get such crap batteries. :(
I'm getting a Pixel 3 XL, regardless. I want it to hold me out until the Pixel 4 XL or the Note 10. All flagship devices are "over priced" in some form of fashion, and they all have bugs...some which never are fixed. Most consumers just want a phone that works, and us more tech savvy or intrigued want a "Frankenstein" type device. At this point in the tech world...there are numerous options, but all have some kind of shortcoming. The tech world is [probably] to afraid to design the "perfect" device/phone in fear of no one buying anything else, and ruling the element of competition.
Ultimately, I'm going to get what I want... You all do the same
agreed...just like they have the cure for cancer...chemo makes them more money, so why cure those with cancer.LOL so why not drag it out. Its all about stretching profit margins. lol
I’m just getting the pixel 3, not the note 10. I HATE Samsung’s, they suck compared to like the pixel.
@@tverbs8719 That is what happen to Jerry Lewis ... Dr. Wallach passes research to Jerry Lewis regarding a cure and prevention for muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis. Jerry Lewis hands the over the data to the MD Foundation and he is quietly and immediately fired along with any supporters on his crew. The telethon was then cut down to 3 hours.
@Matt Frazier - Pixel is the way to go in that aspect. I have a Pixel 2 and I can say it just gets better and better like there is this thing if you want to follow your teams score without leaving the screen you are on you can just see it in a floating window which you can do with phone calls as well. Screening calls, updated camera functions is all the while the reasons Pixel wins. Instead of upgrading I just got a Pixel Slate which is great for what I use it for.
Loss of a headphone jack is not a big deal to me as I always use a Bluetooth headsets and occasionally when I use a wired headphones u could always use the type c headphones or a type c connector to the headphones.. however the notch is hideous and 4 GB ram is too less for the price.
i thought the same thing until my pixel three started having blue tooth issues. love the phone but I'm so frustrated i cant use my wireless head set.
+ audio jack is also used for FM Radio. So, no radio now? Also, that C port being used for everything will wear out and then your screwed. As on my older LG phone, I no longer can charge my battery. Have to take out battery and charge it with a bench top variable power supply. Am looking at Samsung 9 note as yet to hear any reviews on pixle's image stabilization comparisons - which the G9 Note scored best so far. that I can find.
In case you don't know pixel have a option to hide the notch and keep de bar notification same as OnePlus
Interesting review of the Google 3XL phone, was going to buy one but it seems that the phone isn't so perfect after all now that these issues have been brought up, thanks guys
I turned off the notch and I dont mind having it this way because I was a Pixel 2 XL user and I just wanted a better quality screen and wireless charging and loud speakers and no, I dont want a non-Pixel phone. I'm always a Nexus/Stock Android kind of a person
So you're hooked on this like an addict. Too 👎bad for you pixel fan. It's a glorified 📷camera!
@@rexluminus9867 why hate you dont even have it 😂 its a premium phone with bad notch but its functional anyways so i forgave it
I’m waiting for the Pixel 4. Give me at least 6gb of ram with Snapdragon 855 and I’m there. I’m an iPhone user since the 3GS but my friend got the Pixel 3 and I was using it and damn stock Android is amazing. No extra bullshit and the phone is so smooth. Pixel 4 this fall I’m jumping ship so don’t disappoint me Google.
You can fix the back scratch problem with microfiber cloth
Everybody says that if you disable the notch, you may as well get the Pixel 3. I couldn't disagree more. When you disable the notch which is approximately .3 inches you're still left with about 6 inch screen. That's still noticeably bigger than the 5.5 Pixel. It seems silly to to me to say that when you're also still getting a better battery. I'm sure Pixel 3 XL owners out there can confirm this. I'm actually considering getting either a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL. These phone companies have lost their minds with these flat screen tv's posing as phones these days!
It have a top of line snapdragon but it's nearly 2019 and not to mention then 845 on a pixel is downclocked at like 2.5 ghz and it still thermal throttles
Never wanna use a skin or case which diminishes your color choice & the metallic feel of the device.
Gonna get the XL next month. First time with Android... Still have my Iphone 6S lmao. Not really worried about the notch, dont think it'll bother me.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the most important deal breaker in pixel 3. It's black smearing of the OLED display... Which may cause you nervous
Wait wait wait. Pixel 3... No bloatware? I suppose everyone defines it differently, but I own a 3a and had to uninstall a few dozen unwanted apps when I bought this phone. Just because they're made by Google doesn't mean they're not bloatware.
And not to mention all of the features that are turned on out of the box that hog battery, are creepy, or both. If you don't care about privacy or lean software then you'll probably be satisfied, but I've had a hell of a time trying to turn it all off.
Then there are tons of other miscellaneous annoyances. Why does Wi-Fi scanning turn on every time you enable location services from a prompt? Why does the phone app require Google Play Services to have access to SMS, Calendar, Body Sensors, etc.? It'll work fine if you revoke those permissions, but it will still spam "Oh no, I'm broken" notifications that you can't disable. Why does every settings menu show like four options and hide the rest in one or more expandable menus? That adds so many extra taps when going through the settings and makes some normal settings hard to find. Why can't I even *disable* Gboard, Pixel Launcher, etc. when I have alternatives installed? Why can't I disable Android System Webview when I have no interest in in-app web browsing and always want web links to open in Firefox? Why is flicking right from the pill at the bottom of the screen so inconsistent? It should always take you to the last app you had open, but like every third time it opens another app entirely. And, for that matter, why is the motion to flick right when the prevous app is to the left in the recent apps view? That's inconsistent design. Gesture navigation on Pie is horrible, but I fundamentally don't like that shift. A swipe is a more difficult and more tiring action than a tap (especially over long periods of use), swipes register worse than a tap if you have sweaty hands or if there's water on the display, and most screens are at least 2:1 now so there's more space than ever for on-screen buttons. Hell, in Pie, you have on screen buttons but you still need to gesture! What's the point if you're not even saving screen space?
I could go on and on with these. Despite how much the tech press talks it up, Android Pie on the Pixel is bloated garbage compared to how Android used to be on the Nexus line. Using stock Android in 2019 should not make me want to jump ship for LineageOS and get me nostalgic for KitKat...
One of the main drawback of the pixel device it doesn't support VOLTE with most of the carrier in the world... So when we are on the call we can't use internet data it goes on (3g or H)..no LTE while calling
VoLTE is possible if you use the diagnose mode to activate the right configuration. See xda-developers for all the details.
Hey! Try the new Android Q beta on your Pixel, it fixes the gestures navigation and some other issues. Make a video on it!
Girl pixel users have gotten android pie for like 4-5 months earlier (since 6 august) before other brands
Google should look at Samsung's take on navigation gestures via good lock's one hand operation plus. It has a bit of a learning curve but feels smooth af once you get used to it.
I just want a phone with note 9 or samsung S10 beautiful high ppi display but without front facing camera and infinity display(rounded sides)
Back screen like the Nubia X but just a small 2cm square screen to see myself if a selfie is even going to happen.
Fast wireless charging that is able to charge other phones.
3500+ mah battery.
Camera from Pixel, that stabilization is resembling a gimbal, + 4k60fps.
64gb minimum with expansion slot, if you're a savvy photographer or take lots of videos.
Base android os.
And around 600 GBP :D
I’m passing on the Pixel 3, gonna wait for Samsung Galaxy S10, hopefully it’ll a killer
I'd convinced myself i was getting a P3, can't believe how shoddy this phone is
probably operator error
Price is way down now, so that's one fewer issues against.
I don't know why so my reviewers are giving the pixel a bad review? I have the 3 xl and absolutely love it switching from the iPhone.
From which iPhone ? If you were on X or Xs, you would not have loved it maybe
great video. what car racing game is that ? might give it a try
Well I subscribe to this today and I'm waiting for my pixel 3 XL this is good stuff to know and I will definitely pay more attention in the future thanks for the review
The cons are that I just fucking bought the phone and I get a notification that is $200 off for Black Friday on googles website and I'm going to fucking die I hate my life
When you click into a video about pixel 3 XL, there's definitely some people complain about the notch and chin, or the ram issue
The Notch is irrelevant with the App "Natcho Notch". The memory issue is real and annoying. My biggest issue is with the CAMERA, yes the camera. It takes great pictures, that is NOT the problem. The problem is how slow the camera is. It takes pictures extremely slow compared to all other competitors. If you use a mode where it takes a photo faster, the quality is diminished dramatically. Also the fact it has zero manual controls and third party apps do not perform at a high level on the phone. With all that said, I still have and love my Pixel 3 XL. This issue needs to be fixed and they need to be talked about. Yet to see a single video addressing them.
Otter box on E bay is affordable it is drop proof for me but the highest drop from me would be 3-4' and no harm I have had this box on my Pixel2 for about two years and the phone is like new.
Does anyone think they can fix the brightness issue with a software upgrade because that's my only complaint with the phones please let me know?
I have like no idea what like any of the special terms you used even in the comments cause I'm just used to a flip phone and I'm getting a pixel 3 in like 5 days. And yes, flip phones still exist.
Clear and concise. Well done
Pixel 3 XL is awesome. Own one and am very happy with it. Everything you need in a phone.
I see what you did there at the end. You watch MKBHD too 😄
Can someone tell me why Snapchat front camera is zoomed in so close on the GP3XL...it's really annoying.
If you have Verizon you will permanently lose access to Verizon voicemail app in the Pixel 3, this app enables you to manage listen and delete vmail right from the phone app without calling in *86. Verizon store told me there is no way to add or download this into the phone because of the Google pixel software, but any other phone they sell at the Verizon store comes with it. Had I known this beforehand I would not have got the Google pixel 3A.
No screen mirroring feature :(
Is it just me or that the only reason that smartphones nowadays cost a shit load of money because they want turn a phone into a Nikon camera? I must be one of those people who don't give two fucks about the camera and only care about the hardware and software of the phone
I read somewhere the apps closing were because of one of the features, the battery saving one or something.. do you have yours on?
The swipe up to get into the app drawer is just a slower swipe - not 2 swipes.
I just got my pixel 3xl and I'm thrilled.
Except...about the speakers. So I ask you pixel owners, do your phones also have this bad sound coming through ? Mine is clearly sizzling, and the speakers'volume difference is really noticeable...for an almost 1000€ phone, I think it's really disappointing...
No mine is fine and very good
Dude nice hair cut. Kinda like it. 😮
I am considering the 3 instead of the 3 XL (which I've been using for a few days) bc of the notch, the size and the fact the two are pretty much the same in features
I got the pixel 3, love the phone overall except the price. Hopefully software updates in the future will justify for it.
Hi, I am considering getting one of these on Amazon brand new for $249, should I ?
seriously nit-picking. I will agree with you on the vibrating back during calls or audio playback. That does make it feel cheap. The rest of your "issues" are for someone who is a high end user like yourself. Joe or Jane regular customer will never pick up on it.
I have the pixel 3 XL I just found out you can swipe down on the fingerprint scanner to get to the top bar
Have you ever heard of a case for a phone, you should try one out
1000 to be a beta tester. I was going to buy a pixel 3 to avoid the notch but he it has way to many issues to justify the price. All these companies pushing out incomplete phones like video games without updates. I will be picking up a iPhone 8 256gb black Friday, I'm a liftetime Android fan boy but this is too much
Sound fixed now.
One glitch My 3xl Play Music Red shuts off when I close the screen. Then gotta go back in to turn it back on. Then it works.
Ok, question. Last year I went from the Galaxy note 5, to the iPhone x. This was my first jump from Android to ios in a while. And it was nice while it lasted. Would you guys consider it a good hardware upgrade going from the x to the pixel 3? (Not XL )
not sure, 4 GB of RAM will probably not be enough in the near future and iPhone's a11 seems like a better option than pixel's snapdragon 845. I'm actually thinking right now if I should get an X or Pixel, pixel's camera is really impressive but I'm quite disappointed by the fact that 60 fps video recording is not supported even in Full HD
Would you recommend this phone for vlogging? I am ne step away from ordering this phone
The microphone isn't very good at all so I would say no
You can change the animation speed from 1 to 0,5 and it's fluid like the other phones.
It's hidden in developer settings. Just test it your own. It's much much better (in my opinion).
Btw, I found much more "issues" of the Pixel 3 XL. At least it's software issues, so we can pray for the best:

i might be the odd one out but I don't like that the Pixel camera makes pictures taken at night look like it was taken in the daytime. That ruins the whole point of taking a picture at night. Certain elements of a moment are lost when a person can't tell if a photo is taken at night.
Simply use another camera app for the realistic night photo, if you want to take one! ;-)
i dont mind the notch because its smalling than the ipone (which have not bought since the 4). the "chin" is lil overboard but I am not a skate. good phone.

I have the Pixel 2 right now and love it. Out of all the phones of I've had it's had the longest battery, the best amout of space since I get free google storage leaving me with more room for apps, a better sound, screen, and camera. After I pay this off and get my use out of it I am definitely sticking with Google Pixels. I really want to go to the Pixel 3 XL but if the 4th one has come out when I'm ready to upgrade, that's what I'll go for. I don't mind the notch and I honestly feel like people make way too much of a deal about the minor inconvience. Removing the audio jack is more of an issue in my opinion.
Can someone help me, which phone should I get? Pixel 2 xl, S9+ or Note 9?
Guys how to get recent menu bar like Samsung Galaxy s9 as shown in this video.
CURRENTLY USING PIXEL 1 BUT PIXEL 3 IS ON MY WISHLIST
Come on guys! I think you are all exaggerating a bit with the vibration from the back of the phone. I mean, you feel it, right. But it's like complaining because you feel vibrations every time you ride your car. You just get lost in what you are looking on the screen. It's nothing distracting. About the notch, that doesn't bother me at all. You get used to it, believe me. I am now 2 weeks with my Pixel 3XL and my only complain is the mic. sound quality. It is unacceptable.
was it a worth buy? just wondering
Definitely. I bought the iPhone Xs Max as soon as it was available and sure, it is a great phone. I love how smooth, fast and "sweet" the iOS interfaces is. Nothing like face ID and the fluidity of those gesture. But even though that, iPhone is not there yet with the OS. The level of personalisation you get on native Android is above iPhone. Don't get me wrong, iPhone xs max is an amazing phone, but it is not for me. I accepted the penalties (not that good gestures, a little bit slower, etc) for a better software. Oh and, that Pixel camera is in a whole new level...
@@JTuesday well the Xs max is almost dubble the price
Well it doesn't have close option in the recent apps.
I am very disappointed with the google pixel 3 phone AND google services. Google dropped the ball multiple times in their customer service and did not compensate for their mistakes in any way besides “I sincerely apologize.”
I decided to not get a warranty from Best Buy where I bought the phone because google offered a 1 yr manufacturing warranty. This was a big mistake.
I bought the google pixel 3 because of the camera. The camera broke, which apparently is a problem for this phone (according to what I found online). First step to try and fix the phone is reformatting.
I needed a google assistant to walk me through the steps to back up my material and reformat the phone. I asked the assistant 3 times if my photo and recordings were backed up (I confirmed this by looking at the transcripts of our conversation). She checked and confirmed that all was backed up. However, all of my recordings were lost. This set me back quite a bit with my work. Google ‘sincerely apologized’ (there wasn’t much else they could do with this one. And this same response was given when I felt there were other alternatives to fix their mistakes).
The camera wasn’t fixed so I had to send my phone in and they would send a new one back to me. This means going without a phone for 2-3 weeks weeks.
Within a month of receiving the “new” phone, the battery dies completely by noon (4-5 working hours). I question if I had received a new phone or a refurbished phone? The phone that I sent in because of a broken camera battery lasted much longer and it was several months old. Also the finger print sensor was significantly less sensitive than the first pixel 3 phone I had (another reason why I think they may have sent me a refurbished phone).
I now had to send the phone in again, go another 2-3 weeks without a phone. I was very disappointed with this product as it was said to be one of the better phones on the market and it wasn’t cheap. I requested a refund instead of another draw out exchange for a ‘new’ phone.
I was told I would hear back from someone within 5 days. It took them 3 weeks to get back to me. And all I received was an email saying please call us. I called 6 more times until we finally arrived to unfavorable and disappointing answer. Each representative that I talked to said they would look into the issue and get back to me. Some promised to call me back within the hour, others the next day, some said in 1-3 days. No one ever got back to me so I had to continue to call and share my process all over again. On the 4th and 5th call, I asked to stay on the line while they looked into it since the previous representatives didn’t get back to me. Each time they assured me they would personally take are of it and promised to get back to me. I am a trusting person and so went along. The google assistants were very nice; however, they all lacked follow through. This process went on for another 2 weeks and hours and hours on the phone with google.
Each time I had told them that I am leaving the country right after christmas and thus am running out of time to send the phone in to get a ‘new’ one.
They finally gave me an answer saying that their policy does not allow exchanges and cannot help me in getting a phone faster than within their 2-3 weeks exchange rate. It took me 6 weeks to get to this answer and I am now out of time because of leaving the country to get a replacement. All of this is clearly documented and recorded and they were not willing to compensate for their multiple mistakes in any way. They would just say. “I sincerely apologize.”
Google does not allow you to leave a review on their site where you can purchase the phone directly. I also do not think this is a good sign.
I do not recommend this phone or anything that will require you to rely upon google services.
where can buy your yellow glass skin??
That is the best skin I’ve ever seen
A nice balanced review of the phone.
