11:52 - "In the case of the smaller Pixel 3, it's a much easier decision. Yup! This is the best small Android phone. Period." That's all I needed to hear. Order placed :)

They never talk about unlimited photo and video storage, a huge selling point to other phones without expandable storage. ;-;

Best review for pixel 3 phones. Thanks for not including stupid notch jokes like every other reviewer out there! Very professional and informative! Thanks

I'm very excited for my Pixel 3 XL to be here tomorrow 😊

Pre-ordered my Pixel 3 XL last night, upgrading from the original Pixel XL.

Great review. I want the 3XL in Not Pink. The notch doesn’t bother me at all.

I got mine 3 days ago. I've been a top tier Samsung user for years. I am very impressed with the Pixel 3 XL. The camera is fantastic as well as the on board speakers. All in all, the best phone I've had so far.

Alex and Nirave, great job on this video. Beautifully shot and edited. Right up there at "Verge" and "MKBHD" quality. Fantastic.

Awesome intro man I just love how you did it from showing the first pixel to the 3xl

Watching this on my Pixel 3 XL. I don't care what anyone says. This is a beautiful phone. 😃

Will be trading in Pixel 2 for Pixel 3 for better battery life...my only gripe with Pixel 2.

getting this phone when it comes out, I'm so ready

Awesome review and definitely enjoyed can Also see so much really done the line has Great Camera and with the whole Ecosystem I see them definitely coming with some Awesome features with all their devices I'm sure who ever picks one up will absolutely enjoy from looking at as a true tech geek.Thanks for sharing Deb 👍✌

really cant wait for this to come the UK

Excellent review, I'll be upgrading to the 3XL from the original Pixel, which was and still is a great phone.

Great review! That large enter key on the Macbook Pro at 7:20 threw me off a bit! Never seen that before on a Macbook pro! :D

This is the most positive comments section I've seen on the Pixel 3 / 3 XL topic! Honestly the notch doesn't bother me much, the only time it bothers me is when I watch a vid or movie in full screen and it cuts out a bit of it but I would prefer the XL's notch over shorter battery life with the Pixel 3! I don't like the amount of ram though, why can't they make it 6-8 gigs of ram? I love the camera and google assistant!

Great review!! I want to buy the Pixel 3 to use as a second phone so I can try the latest features in Android pie and upcoming updates. Probably gonna pick one up this black friday

If the price of this phone was the exact same as last years models, plus at least 6 gigs of RAM I'd consider this a good buy.

Thanks for the review. I will be ordering the regular pixel 3 and wait for Pixel 4 XL :p

Just ordered mine... Getting it in the mail this week. Can't wait

One of the best pixel 3 reviews! Great job!

Alex, brilliant as always :) Keep it up mate

Great review Alex. Beautifully presented.

One underestimated thing about having just one camera is the fact that you can actually use lenses on it, the dual setup allows it too, but it's highly hard to get it right all the time. Nice review, great devices, video liked as always mate.

Nice review and kudos to you by keeping it truthful and not smash it's amazing Pixel XL capabilities as compared to other competitors like urgh! iPhone X S.

I can't wait, mine is coming in today!

Nice vid. His last comment was really the salient point in case you've never had a Pixel. The UX is indeed, imo, the best of any Android device- though maybe not by a country mile. I too have trouble justifying the price increase of this Pixel version but I've used Sammie (Note 5) and couple other Androids and though I loved the Note 5 H/W it was a weak UX imo compared to the Pixel 2 I now use. Yes I gripe about some of the Pixel 2's H/W limitations - though camera is best I've used, but even that is due more to the S/W - and I've never warmed up to huge bezels but the UX is so much better than my Note 5. And I really do like getting s/w updates as quick as possible. If you're gonna spend a lot on an Android phone imo it better come with Android 9 installed. When is the Note 9 gonna get it?

Can't wait for it to come out here. Gonna buy it

Very good review Alex.

Considering most people will just put a case/or skin on the phone the 'premium' feel is all of about 5 minutes. It is certainly a solid 3 year release for like a 2s but a worthy upgrade if you have the OG Pixel. I not sure for 2XL is it is worth it considering most of the camera features will come to it.

Quite honest and informative review👌🏻as always

im pretty stoked to getting my pixel 3 tomorrow. Upgrading from the google nexus 7 (the huawei one)

Great review. This just might make me switch from iPhone to Pixel.

Thanks for the video! I'm going to keep my Pixel XL for now. I tried out the Pixel XL 3 and the screen simply isn't as amazing as it should be. That notch is haunting too and is very unnecessary. Pixel XL 4 here I come.

Thank you very much. I'm waiting for my 3xL... comes Monday

Having a pixel XL 2 can't justify the upgrade. Pixel 3/xl Slightly better screen Incrementally better processor Slightly better camera Slightly better exclusive wallpapers Slightly better stereo speakers Thank you Google for only giving pixel 3 4gbs ram means older pixels will do well with updates!!

Traded in my Pixel 2 for the Pixel 3. Very happy with it.

Is that a pixel exclusive live wallpaper? If not mind pointing me in the right direction?

Went to the store they didn't have NOT PINK pixel xl so I had to have it shipped... WILL BE HERE MONDAY TOO EXCITED

Nice review!

Should I get the 3 or the s9. I've had the s5 and s7 getting kinda tired of them

Did you try out the speakers on the XL? I've gone through four handsets trying to find one that doesn't buzz. Turn the volume to about 33% and use Assistant; can you even understand her?

Out for delivery!! Yay

I think the back of the 1st Pixel was the best looking phone of all time. Such a gorgeous phone. In all 3 colours, especially the blue.

Hey, just a heads up on the wireless charging, any Qi charger will only charge at 5w, while any made by google certified charger, IE the pixel stand and as of right now one other belkin charger will charge at 10w

Great review

I had great hopes for the front facing stereo speakers to replace my HTC M8. Unfortunately, one speaker having only 10% the volume of the other is unacceptable. Still looking for a new phone. Bought a Galaxy note 9 but it was too big and heavy. Swapped it for a S9.

I can not wait to get my 3XL!! It's going to be an amazing upgrade from my Nexus 5X 😊

@Android Central you're really not going to talk about the different color temperatures between the displays of the P3 and P3XL?

I had very bad experience with Pixel 3XL. I just ordered a new unlocked Pixel 3XL 128GB from Google store online on 2/1/2019, received it on 2/11/2019. It's nice look, great camera. I like it a lot. But all of the sudden it powered off on 3/5/2019, and couldn't turn on anymore. I online chatted with google customer service, went through all troubleshooting steps, no working. Then they offered me a replacement phone, but when I clicked the replacement link, I found it's a refurbished device they offered. So I contacted Google again, request a new phone as the replacement Since I paid it for a new phone, and it's only 22 days. But they refused to replace it with a new phone because they only have refurbished device as replacement. And they won't refund me because the refund period is only 15 days. I checked the warranty for defective Pixel 3XL is one year, and the context is "Google will in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law repair your Device using new or refurbished parts, replace your Device with a new or refurbished Device functionally at least equivalent to yours, or accept the return of your Device in exchange for a refund of the purchase price you paid for your Device." After 32 emails back and forth, they said Google put "in its sole discretion" on the warranty, so they only offer refurbished device. I can take it, or pay the repair outside the warranty. The case is not resolved yet, I will seek for the legal help. Two things people needs to think before they buy the Pixel 3XL: 1. The problem with the invalid operating system on Pixel 3XL is not rare. After I ran into this problem, I did research. There are quite a lot complaint about this problem. And it's a fundamental problem because the phone is dead. No matter how chic the looking is, how good the photo is taken, phone is used to communication. Think of you're on the way to an appointment, and your phone just power off. And you don't remember the address of the appointment and the number of your contact, that's terrible!!! 2. The way of the customer service explaining the warranty is big big surprise for me too. Refurbished device is usually returned for all kinds of problem. And you paid for a new phone, and only can get a refurbished one as replacement if your new phone had problem. Customer service won't give you any other options.

how would you know what people think about it?

Hands down one of the deep elaborated review of Pixel 3/XL

Note 9 vs pixel 3 (xl or not) or wait for s10

Excellent Review.

Is the microphone on this phone good? Cause I've heard rumors that it's not good.

I Have the pixel 2, in black, shoud I order the 3? love the small version

Wish Google would sell them officially here in NZ. One can dream...

Where did you get that dandelion background?

Fantastic phone and great review...

Where can i get the wallpaper on the smaller pixel 3?

Very nice 👍 review

One thing that pisses me off on pie is the Apps with just the actual icon now has a white background even after you turn it off in the settings.

Ugh, having a real hard time switching from my pixel one. I use the headphone jack all the time. I watch twitch all day at work and I have not found a Bluetooth headset to have perfect video sync and splitting the charger and audio via one port sucks when having the phone in landscape mode

The whites on my 2xl looked more "pristine" than the 3xl side by side yesterday. The screen looked too warm on the 3 in comparison

What's the difference between pixe l3 and pixel 3xl? Thank you in advance

your phone has a line in the middle. is that an issue with pixel 3?

I would really like to get that pixel 3.Don't like larger phones.It a shame that i can't buy one, because they are not coming to stores in Finland 😭

did he just call these handsets? what year/country are we in?

The notch is provocative at best, although given the pixels function partially as test bed for the OS it makes sense to include it, doesn't matter that they would sell X number more if they didn't include it

Is anybody upgrading from a pixel 1 to a pixel 3, and if so did you decide to keep it or trade it in?

Does it come with a music player or do we have to use the google play music?

no mention if screen is bright enough in daylight ?

Best Pixel 3/3xl review

Does topshot option work on pixel 3 or only on pixel 3xl?

not sold..no reason to upgrade. Thank you for the video.

The only issue i have is deciding on wether or not i want a big phone. I got real tired of having a giant phone and went with the original pixel instead of the XLs.

Is the OLED screen as good as Samsung's? Has translation improved? Can a Samsung wireless charger be used with a Pixel 3? and vice versa? As for the Samsung having a brighter screen. When the Samsung starts up I turn the splash screen ("Hello") away from me - it's so bright.

I will upgrade from pixel 2xl to 3xl just because of the better picture quality!

Good review. The dust on the macro shots though... clean the phones better!

Does the pixel 3 has pixel core?

Does the new Pixel 3 and 3XL still identify a song on the display in real time like the Pixel 2 and 2XL?

why complaining about the Ram? Iphone has the same. it is a matter on how the software is processed

I love the Pixel 3 XL I upgraded to after 5 years with a Nexus 6p on Fi. That device was very expensive back in 2013 /2014 to buy outright ( $650-$700 ) but it was comparable to other flagship devices from other platform and vendors. However , this Pixel is slightly better in specs ( 845 snapdragon, 1more Gig of ram, the camera of course is way better) but not $400 more better. Yes, I love it but it is at the very maximum level of manufacturer cost inflation to release these at basically $1000 ( $899 plus tax is $989...throw in a Spigen or caselogic plus the rediculous $80 charging stand & u exceed a grand) is highway robbery. So, very good phone that should sell for a maximum of $700-$750 . Google opted to aim high knowing the expectation would not cause an extra $200-$250 per device an impediment to sales.

The pixel 3 looks the best. Ever phone has a notch, originality took a shit with this generation of smartphones.

google should increase the megapixel count like huawei -40mp google cam would be great

if you won't use the pixel 3 anymore after the review , please give it to me i swear i want it but i don't have 800 dollars to buy it , i wish to get it

Pixel 3 I am really excited

Ars Technica said what I feel best: The Google software deserves better hardware. Bottom line is the 3xl has fugly design, soon to be outdated mid tier specs at a too high price. Yes the camera is great but really not much better than 2xl. I would love to see Googles hardware team push the boundaries in same way the software team does. Give us that monster big camera sensor found on the Huawei, more ram and storage like OnePlus, dual sim, look at Samsung for great design not Apple and get rid of the notch

I might get the 3 but not the xl I really wanted the note 8 tho

I know it's not face ID, but Google does offer a facial recognition option via the smart Lock features. It's called "trusted faces." After diving into the all of the smart Lock features, I've found myself rarely having to unlock my phone with a password when I'm using it or the phone is on me. Googles been using smart Lock features on Android for a while now, I enjoy it and highly recommend. Also, I have the original pixel XL and already pre-ordered the 3 XL. The notch doesn't bother me and I'm excited for the jump! It looks like a super solid device, well done Google. Simple and effective 🙏🏽

Anyone else have clicking/interference when in a call on the earpiece? Seems worse when in an area with weak cell signal. Gone when using speaker phone or earbuds.

this is my dream phone ..I would have definitely bought this phone if it was not 30% more expensive than US market... it is priced good in USA but overpriced in India ...so I'm going for Oneplus 6T.. the brother of pixel from other mother

Gosh! I have only two kidneys

Best user experience in or out of Android

Whats the Intro Music?

THAT VOICE CRACK 😂😂😂 11:41

Why is there no question mark after "BETTER than you think"

I'm gonna be honest I really wanted a pixel 3 but the option seems to be a giant notch on the XL or big bezels on the standard, it's literally outdated design on release

Part of me wanted to get that Pixel 3 XL just to annoy anyonewith it's unconventional look lol
