Similar to last year’s Pixel 2 XL, both the volume buttons and the power switch are located on the right spine. The notch also cuts through a lot of content, be it while seeing Instagram stories or watching videos. In fact, the phone doesn’t even feature the ability to unlock the phone with your face. Yet, there’s no fancy tech to offer face unlock capability. That cut-out does house two front snappers and an earpiece that doubles up as a speaker along with a few sensors. That’s not to say that the brand has just followed the trend blindly without making the notch useful. It’s really deep and wide in fact – deeper than any other notch-toting handset I’ve ever come across – which is quite odd as we’re seeing more and more phones trying to ditch the cut-out altogether or at least taking the small waterdrop-shaped cut-out route. Of course, the display notch is the first thing you’ll notice on the Google Pixel 3 XL. Well, that also means that the reactions you’d have had when you saw those renders and hands-on images before the launch, would basically remain the same. The launch event also put a lid on the conspiracy theories that suggested that Google would be surprising us with the launch of something that hasn’t been leaked. ![]() Last week’s announcement of the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL came as a relief… as it put an end to all the leaks swirling around the interwebs. Quad core, 2.5 GHz + Quad core, 1.6 GHz, Snapdragon 845ĭesign: ‘not’ch the best-looking smartphone out there Others can stick around till the end to see what exactly the Google Pixel 3 XL brings to the table. Well, that’s the TLDR version of the individual aspects, and if you don’t want to dive into the details, then simply skip towards the end to read the comparison with rivals and the verdict. All in all, you’ll love the Pixel 3 XL in the day-to-day use. The phone offers smooth performance, incredible cameras (that won’t disappoint in any situation), long-lasting battery and of course, the taste of useful features with Android 9.0 Pie. ![]() The best part is that the brand has worked on the critique, and this year’s smartphone doesn’t seem to be facing any display-related issues. Specs-wise, the phone might not seem to be able to match up to similarly-priced rivals, but I can tell you that there’s more to the Google handset when you scratch the surface. I’ve been using the larger sibling of the third-gen Pixel, the Pixel 3 XL for the better part of a week, but the review will apply equally to the smaller Pixel 3, except for the display and battery.
