The Google Pixel 3 is one of the few Android smartphones to offer the latest hardware in a handy size. But is that enough to make it stand out from the competition We've tested Google's new device in our hands-on.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

And, well, it has and hasn't. The Pixel 3 is but an incremental upgrade compared to the Pixel 2, a rather well-received handset, albeit one with a rather dated design. At the same time having the phone slipped into our hands we can't help but feel that warm 'oooh, this is nice' feeling all over...
It's a testament to just how high expectations are for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL that, even after months of the Google phones leaking, interest in them remains high. Now, the pair of Android 9 Pie handsets are finally headed to shelves, promising the cutting-edge in Google's computational...
Camera technology leads the pack; Elegant; tactile glass & metal design; Wireless charging is a welcome addition; OLED screens look great
Pixel 3 XL notch is divisive; More expensive than last year's Google phones; Still no headphone jack
If there's one thing I wanted from the Google Pixel 3 XL, it's that it didn't make a repeat of last year. The Pixel 2 XL was an otherwise cracking phone but its flawed display held it back from greatness.
Fabulous camera; Superb performance; Android Pie goodness
Mediocre battery life; No secondary rear camera
A device is more than the sum of its parts. In the three years since Google first introduced the Pixel series of smartphones, it has consistently proved that plain and simple hardware specs do not matter as much as Google's OEM partners would have you believe.
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL were unveiled a week ago in Google's third attempt at establishing itself as a serious player in the premium smartphone segment. There really weren't many surprises to be had on the hardware front, as all the leaks and rumours we'd seen in the months leading up to the...

Outstanding camera; Incredibly smart AI features; Gorgeous design
Disappointing battery life; Not the fastest
Google has announced the latest models in its Pixel range of smartphones: the
The Google Pixel 3 can shoot incredible photos and videos, plus they leverage some pretty amazing AI and machine learning feature. Some of them you'll use. Some you won't.
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.
Great Design; Awesome Camera; Strong Performance; Clean; Android Pie
No Expandable Storage; Big Notch On The XL; New Navigation Elements May Take Getting Used To
