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 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.

Google Pixel 3 XL review

The Google Pixel 3 XL is the big-screen, best-camera phone combination of 2018, a one-two punch when it comes to offering an expansive, color-rich display and photos your friends won't believe came from a smartphone.
Pros:
  • Best camera phone we've tested
  • Problem-free 6.3-inch OLED display
  • Solid battery life vs smaller Pixel 3
Cons:
  • The notch cut out is hard to ignore
  • Not one-hand friendly as Pixel 3
  • More expensive
  • like all 2018 phones

Google Pixel 3 XL review: Android's new hotshot phone

The Google Pixel is the panacea of Android phones, designed to show what you can do with pure Android software, tuned to the Google-designed hardware. Its pièce de résistance is the camera, where Google's aim is to showcase what artificial intelligence (AI) can really do.
Pros:
  • Outstanding camera performance
  • Android Pie is clean and fast
  • High quality design and build
  • No screen issues this time around
Cons:
  • Battery life isn't class leading
  • Some software foibles

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

  • Impressive battery life
  • Premium design and finish
Cons:
  • Single rear camera can be limiting
  • No HDR10 or Dolby Vision
  • Notch is big and ugly

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.
