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.
Manufacturer: Google
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.
Outstanding camera performance; Android Pie is clean and fast; High quality design and build; No screen issues this time around
Battery life isn't class leading; Some software foibles
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 is currently Google's top Android smartphone of the year 2018 and it features the all-new Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. Aside from the new Android software, the phone offers a camera that's almost unbeatable in its class, dual selfie cameras, a new glass design with wireless...

Scott and I have already written up our preliminary thoughts on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL , but now it's time to go a bit deeper into the phones that are front and centre of Google's idea of what Android on a phone should be.
For the third year in a row, Google has released its own-brand smartphone under the PIxel label, in a choice of two sizes, to try and put into physical form its vision of what a mobile phone should be – a direct, Google-ified, Android rival to the iPhone .
Google aces the camera again; Screen is big and beautiful; Pixel Android and speedy updates
Did you notice that notch; Battery life is unspectacular; No in-screen fingerprint reader
Let's get the elephant out of the room, I am no fan of a notch, that's why I got the smaller pixel. Also because I have used a series of big phones, from Note 5 to Note 8, I miss the compactness of smaller phones.
Android is the world's most popular mobile operating system with many smartphone makers putting their own spin on things with custom overlays such as Samsung's Experience launcher and Huawei's EMUI .
It may not be a step change in performance, but this is an excellent Android phone nonetheless
The best Android experience; Excellent OLED screen; Superb camera
Average audio quality; No 3.5mm jack
We've definitely taken a look at our fair share of smartphones over the past few years and have definitely noticed, along with everyone else, the trend towards bigger phones. While smartphones, in general, are slowly getting bigger, bigger isn't always better.
Outstanding camera; especially Night Sight; Feels like a solid; well built smartphone; Crisp; bright display; Great performance; Gesture navigation is quick once you get used to it; Monthly security updates; Unlimited online photo storage for two years; Decent sound quality; Includes USB-C to 3.5mm...
No microSD card slot; Average/boring design (that works; Very occasional performance hiccup; Included headphones uncomfortable and mediocre; Top speaker isn't as loud as bottom; Like other flagships; pricey; No headphone jack
The Pixel 3 is the latest smartphone from Google, following on from the success of last year's Pixel 2. There are a number of new features, many of which are of particular interest to photographers. Like the previous versions of the phone, the camera is at the heart of much of Google's marketing.
