![]() Of course, the Pixel 3 is running Google's Android 9.0, Android Pie, I really like it. So you get the Google phone made to run with Google software and they're made to run perfectly. ![]() I would not be worried about that at all. The Pixel 3 has been totally fine and seamless, fluid and smooth and stable and no problems whatsoever, with the Snapdragon 845 and the 4 gigs of RAM. So it's running in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which is the latest chip. Thing is, you'd be missing out on a really, really, really good phone. I just really hope that you don't base your next smartphone buying decision on how the phone looks, because I would imagine that you go walk into a store and you see the notch on the Pixel 3 XL and you'd be like, well that's a pass, move on. It doesn't interfere with the way I use the phone. Now one thing that is specific to the 3 XL is the notch, but hey, you know what, I've been using the phone for about a week and I've kind of forgotten about the notch. These Pixel 3 displays look really, really good. These are features that can totally be used all the time without you really even thinking about it. It's so meaningful for a selfie and for selfie-takers too because it means you get more people in the shot, more of your location and surroundings in the shot. Now, this is meaningful, and I kind of wish Google put an ultra-wide lens on the back of the phone too because ultra-wide is kind of good and it's really good to have on phones like the LG V40. Google had to add an extra lens for the ultra-wide angle selfies. So Google did add a little extra lens there, but on the selfie side of things. So what it does, is it basically takes a bunch of photos, just in case, maybe that moment where you press the shutter button, something with the photo went wrong, or the subject blinked. Obviously we're gonna need to test those claims. It's almost to the level of an actual zoom lens on a phone and later down the line we're expecting the new Night Sight feature, which will again be a software update and it'll make the Pixel 3 cameras really good in low light situations, at least that's what we were shown and told at a Pixel event. One of the things that's amazing that the Pixel 3s can do is having a really, really good portrait mode with a single lens rear camera and then Google made, sort of the fake sort of digital zoom that you see on other phones, but they made it better. Google can do with software what others, you know, can only dream of. One thing that you may have noticed, is that the Pixel 3 phones still have a single lens camera system. You can really get a sense of place and location when you're looking at a photo from a Pixel 3 phone. There's something that Google does with its software that just makes the photos look really natural and yet there's a ton of processing going into it. So one of the biggest reasons people buy the Pixel phones is because of the camera, and the Pixel 3 XL is absolutely no exception. You just get a pure vision of what Android is meant to be and it's a better phone for it. It's just a really solid version of Android that I just tend to prefer over the extra stuff that you'll find on, like, Samsung phones or LG phones. There's no extra stuff in there, no bloatware. That means Android for one, and it's a pure expression of Google's Android. It's not so much the hardware, but it's what you see on the screen itself. So one of the places where the Google Pixel phones shine is with the software. So, that's a really good screen, that's good battery life, that's a great camera and water resistance, but with the Pixel phones the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, they have a little extra to them that kind of just makes them shine brighter than the rest. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, they both have the main ingredients and the foundation for a great smartphone. It's just a smartphone, but I would say, currently it is the best smartphone. It doesn't have any crazy outstanding features. You know, they don't have an S Pen stylus, they don't have three lenses on the back. In a lot of respects, the Pixel 3 phones are kind of generic. ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
