Google Pixel 3 64GB
Reviews for the Google Pixel 3 have been overwhelmingly positive, with one expert saying "it's the best Android smartphone you can buy". Let's find out why!
Cool and compact
The Pixel 3 is smaller, lighter and more compact than most smartphones, with many tech experts pointing out how comfortable it is to handle, how easy it is to hold one-handed, and how nicely it fits into your pocket.
Glass adds class
The Pixel 3 says goodbye to Google's usual aluminium and glass construction, and adopts a classy all-glass design. If first impressions count, this is the phone for you!
An enhanced display
The OLED screen delivers a higher contrast ratio, most evident in low light and dark conditions, while the 2,260 x 1,080-pixel resolution is super-sharp, with excellent colour saturation, and the option to revert to a more "natural" display if preferred.
Amazing cameras
The cameras on Google smartphones are some of the best you can get. The Pixel 3 is no exception! New features include Top Shot, which takes frames before and after your picture and suggests an alternative shot to what you actually captured: Super Res Zoom gives you better detail while zooming: and Night Sight greatly enhances the quality of low light shots.
A focus on yourself
The Pixel 3 features regular and wide-angle lens for all selfies and portrait mode shots. An integrated algorithm will remove any distortion caused by the wider lens.
Call screening
A great example of the wonderful AI tasks in this smartphone! When you receive a call, on-device speech recognition will transcribe the conversation from the caller (who is calling? why they are calling?) so you can decide whether to pick up, hang up, or mark as spam and block.
A newer model Google Pixel 4 64GB was released in November 2019.

Google Pixel 3 XL review: Greatness with a hideous notch
Google announced the third generation of its Pixel phones last week , once again with regular- and XL-sized variants. I was given the Pixel 3 XL to review, and I absolutely love it... except for the hideous notch.
Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL Review - Style Over Substance
If you want a no-nonsense phone that just works, this is what you buy. It truly has become the iPhone of Android, and will likely appeal most to users who aren't interested in lots of options, tweaking the interface, or making the phone feel like a one-of-a-kind device that no-one else has.
Google Pixel 3 XL Review
Google's Pixel 3 XL has speed, fantastic software, an excellent camera, and unrivaled A.I. features you can't find anywhere else.- Excellent camera, Fluid software, useful A.I
- features, Fast performance, Fingerprint-free rear glass design, Great screen, speakers
- Mediocre battery life
- The notch is really
- really ugly
- Photos can sometimes look too saturated
Google Pixel 3 XL
Google is back with its third-generation smartphone and the larger of the two siblings packs a modest specification set, but what it lacks in hardware, it makes up for in software- Superior camera performance
- Impressive battery life
- Premium design and finish
- Single rear camera can be limiting
- No HDR10 or Dolby Vision
- Notch is big and ugly
The Google Pixel range has always been for Android purists – those who want Google's operating system without the customisation and bloat provided by most manufacturers.
- Top-quality camera
- Lots of power
- Pure Android with speedy updates
- Sub-par battery
- Big bezels
- Screen could be sharper
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.
- Incredible photography
- Slick software
- Kinda boring hardware
- Less battery life than the competition
Google Pixel 3 review: The best camera smartphone of 2018
Google Pixel 3 review: The Pixel 3 is the right phone for geeks and early adopters, but it's still not ready to be a mass premium seller like the iPhone XS and Galaxy S9.
