Quick note - the video sample at 15:11 was a bit messed up by the editing! It doesn't actually look like that when panning. Update - started using the PixelDust A13 Rom (Oct. 2022 patch) and it's arguably better optimised than Pixel Experience!
@@kirigayakazuto9290 mine's on Android 13, PixelDust Rom currently. No issues so far except the RAM management, I would definitely say root the phone and flash a ZRam magisk module, and add at least 4-6GB. It really struggles without it. Also the camera noise is still an issue so I found a good GCam port that works well enough and cleans up the photos, I can link it below if you're interested 👍.
@@kirigayakazuto9290Hey, sorry for the late response. Yeah I used it on Android 12 for a few weeks but moved to Android 13 Custom ROMs, and I definitely prefer those but they do eat through RAM like there's no tomorrow!
I m using pixel 3 xl from 2019 still working very well zero problem , perfect smartphone ever made by google , only ram issues sometimes but u can fix it with zram magisk module. Otherwise phone is great and light & wide screen with cute notch, also super duper camera 🤩
@@mformetro i'm also using pixel experience android 13 very stable 🙂 + rooted magisk and too fix the ram issues i flashed Qti memory optimisation v7.1 6gb zram 🙃+4gb ram
I'm using my 3 XL as my 4 XL needed a battery change. It's a nice phone with a nice display and speakers. The issue that i have is the lack of ram compared to my 4 XL. Apps crash a lot now on the 3 XL
@@mformetro Only down side for me is, no wireless charging, I forgot to check before I bought it. The battery, which started our as decent but not spectacular, has got even better the more the device has got familiar with my usage.
using my lovely pixel 3 , with ressurection remix A10 , i use it as a gaming device ( with some mods ofc ) and photography is better than iphone 11 in some case ... the only big issue is the battery life and outdated screen quality
Yeah I miss some parts of my Pixel 3 XL, especially the design. Such a clean phone and the camera was indeed fantastic, especially with a longer exposure!
i know its 2024 but im wondering is the pixel 3xl still worth it? i have a choice between galaxy s20FE and Google Pixel 3XL, what do you think is a better option?
@@landen2482 mate, easily I'd take the S20 FE. Better camera, more recent chip, 120Hz screen, bigger battery. The 3XL is two years older and since I reviewed it mine hasn't been as smooth as it was last year.
I think I had updated my android to 12 in apr 2022 it's been one year Android official stock Android 12 is solid and almost optimised for pixel 3xl no any major issues I have noticed yet
Look at how to flash TWRP on your Pixel then go to whichever ROM you wanna use (e.g. Pixel Experience, PixelDust etc.) and flash that, should be a zip file.

Yeah, the white one was £13.50, still kinda amazed it even works. Still, wouldn't recommend paying that unless you're prepared for issues (black phone developed a screen issue and it's cracked as well hence the price).
My phone has slowed down a bit since my review and I'd really look into finding a workaround for the RAM issues, but otherwise I'd say it's still worth it, fixing mine as we speak ✌️
Story Time: I got an iPhone 8, to get a feeling for iOS and let's just say that the ram management blew me away. It was definitely comparable to the Google Pixel 4 Xl (sometimes better) with less than half the ram! Moral of the story: Google's ram management is terrible....
Yeah the iPhones from what I've heard are so much better on literally half the ram, it's kinda sad... That being said I've recently flashed a ZRam magisk module on this phone to add another 6GB of memory and it's working! Not amazing but a lot better than before.

Wasn't that the Pixel with, 'that notch'?

Hi! Did you update it to Android 12? Any issues with it? I just bought mine so I'm curious. Thanks

@@mformetro I was only planning to stay on Android 12 and just update if there might be an issue. Thank you very much!
Still rocking my 3xl and got no issues with it or the notch,I love the contrast it gives when I use a light wallpaper.
Honestly, I've spent 6 months now with this notch and I really like the look of it. Agree about the wallpapers too, find myself using lighter ones.

@@sufyanpatel9706 yeah it's a shame the RAM was such a huge pitfall on the 3 XL. It's barely usable unless you root it and add zRAM.
The Best Review of a Google Pixel 3 and a very handsome reviewer! 💗
Thank you so much! ❤️
I've just bought a 6a. Great clicky buttons! And a great device.
Yeah it's a great device, especially pre-owned it's nice value too!

Pixel 3xl clearly white is the best looking phone to date in my opinion
Might have to agree with you on that one, best looking Pixel for sure (debateably with the 2XL)!
I form India in watched your video and your content is toooo good
