Google Pixel 3 XL review

I used the Pixel 2 XL for most of 2018. Even if it wasn’t my main phone, I always had it as a back up in case there was something I needed to snap a picture of. After the in October, I was more excited for the Pixel 3 XL software, than the hardware.
Pros:
  • Operates nicely, no lag., Camera takes incredible pictures, Great features such as Call Screen, Night Sight, and Google Lens
Cons:
  • Battery life could be better, Phone is simple looking, No expansion slot / headphone jack, Retail price is high (look for promos)

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.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • The phone's onscreen notch is taller than other phones'
  • It doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack

Google Pixel 3 XL review

After spending a few weeks with the Google Pixel 3 XL, we’re at a bit of a crossroads. We like it a lot, but there are reasons we wouldn’t choose to use it as our main phone. On the one hand, it’s a beautiful handset with solid design, excellent performance, and one of the best portrait cameras...
Pros:
  • Double glass design feels great in the hands, Screen feels excellent, Great performance, Single-lens portrait mode is still one of the best in the business, and better than Apple's, Selfie camera is truly exceptional, A hint of water resistance, Finally supports wireless charging
Cons:
  • Battery life is relatively underwhelming for a flagship phone, Only available in 64 and 128GB storage
  • this should be 128 or 256GB for a flagship phone in 2018, No expandable memory, Needs something special to make it really stand out

Google Pixel 3 XL: Brilliant but Google is treading water

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.
Pros:
  • Fabulous camera
  • Superb performance
  • Android Pie goodness
Cons:
  • Mediocre battery life
  • No secondary rear camera

Google Pixel 3 review: Brains over brawn

The Pixel 3 doesn't stand out in any specific areas - and lags behind in one or two - but what it does do is bring together all of its functions to form a whole that feels genuinely smart, deploying clever AI and software tweaks to create something that's genuinely useful.
Pros:
  • Outstanding camera
  • Incredibly smart AI features
  • Gorgeous design
Cons:
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Not the fastest

  • Awesome Camera
  • Strong Performance
  • Clean
  • Android Pie
Cons:
  • No Expandable Storage
  • Big Notch On The XL
  • New Navigation Elements May Take Getting Used To

Google Pixel 3 XL review

The Google Pixel 3 XL’s biggest departure from last year’s model is the feel of the software. And, well, you’ll get that with the 2 XL anyway. However, we also get a better screen, all-glass design and a great new selfie array, also to blame for that whacking great big notch in the display. This phone takes some of the most natural daylight shots with its rear camera too. However, the lack of extra tech does start to show in its zoomed photos and when you shoot in very dark conditions. The Pixel 3 XL is not a grand step on from the 2 XL. But it’s a top showcase for what Google’s software engineers are up to.
Pros:
  • Android as Google intended
  • Natural-looking camera processing
  • Fab selfies
Cons:
  • Giganto-notch is distracting
  • Camera beaten by rivals in some situations
