The Google and Pixel 3 XL are strong follow-ups to last year's . Upon Google's initial announcement, the specifications and features of these phones didn't seem terribly impressive, in light of competing flagships based on the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor.
Pros:
  • Great Design
  • Awesome Camera
  • Strong Performance
  • Clean
  • Android Pie
Cons:
  • No Expandable Storage
  • Big Notch On The XL
  • New Navigation Elements May Take Getting Used To

Perhaps ironically, software has always been the central conceit to what Google has offered with the first two generations of Pixel hardware. Try as you might, there's no shying away from this fact. Sure, the hardware is solid and delightfully minimalist but it's nothing unique.
Pros:
  • Incredible photography
  • Slick software
Cons:
  • Kinda boring hardware
  • Less battery life than the competition
