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 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 XL
It's one of our favorite phones of the year, but the Pixel 3 XL isn't what we usually see from big-screen phones. For instance, it costs less than $1,000 (more specifically, $899, £869 and AU$1,349), and it has only one rear camera lens.- The Pixel 3 XL has a top-of-the-line camera that includes an enhanced low-light feature and it can now take wider selfie shots
- It's water resistant, has wireless charging and its Google Assistant has convenient new skills such as call screening
- The phone's onscreen notch is taller than other phones'
- It doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack
