Google Pixel 3

When I first reviewed the Pixel 3 and the larger 3 XL in October, I had an inkling it would be one of the best phones of the year. But I held off making a full judgement call until the OnePlus 6T and iPhone XR came out, and until Google rolled out a major camera feature it promised during launch.
Pros:
  • The Pixel 3 takes brilliant photos, even in super low-light, with its single rear lens and it can capture wider selfie photos
  • It's water resistant, has wireless charging and it can screen unwanted calls
Cons:
  • The phone doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack
  • The shot-to-shot camera delay can be sluggish in certain modes

Google Pixel 3 review: The best Android phone of 2018

The Pixel 3's truly exceptional cameras and AI-powered call screening give it an edge on the other great phones in 2018's crowded winners' circle. During its annual developers conference this year, Google announced the Pixel 3A and Pixel 3A XL -- two budget phones that kick off the company's new endeavor to make cheaper, more affordable phones. The devices are essentially reworked versions of the Pixel 3 and the larger 3 XL, which originally debuted in October 2018.
Pros:
  • The Pixel 3 takes brilliant photos, even in super low-light, with its single rear lens and it can capture wider selfie photos. It's water resistant, has wireless charging and it can screen unwanted calls.
Cons:
  • The phone doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack. The shot-to-shot camera delay can be sluggish in certain modes.

The Pixel 3 ($799.99 for 64GB or $899.99 for 128GB) has the same top-of-line specs and features as its larger sibling, the Pixel 3 XL, including excellent camera performance and some very cool new functionality like call screening and automated travel booking (once Google Duplex is released). If you want a pure, AI-driven Google experience in a one-handed form factor, the Pixel 3 is the phone to buy and our Editors' Choice.

The front is protected by a pane of Gorilla Glass 5. Color options include black, white, and a very light pink that Google calls "Not Pink." The bezels have been slimmed down from the Pixel 2 and ...
