Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL review: the best camera gets a better phone

[@TheVerge]

What would convince you to buy (or not buy) the Pixel 3 and 3 XL?

[@dustbinsavesyou8283]

YOU'RE FIRST

[@ThejewelCraft0100]

Yes. Just... YES

[@levihssh]

I would love having the Pixel, for the camera and software. But, I can't downgrade in the hardware department, coming from S9+, I can not have a lesser quality screen.

[@daisokangaroo1579]

Stereo speakers esp front facing

[@SupremeLogo]

I would upgrade from pixel 2 to pixel 3 XL if I had a better trade in value through Google

Left pocket: smarthpone. Right pocket: keys, wallet, and anything else. Honestly, I don't think ANY smartphone is completely keyproof. And most importantly, there's not much effort to keep your smartphone away from keys scrathing on the pocket.

[@joemann7971]

A tempered glass screen protector and a skin go a long with to making your phone "keyproof" without adding any bulk. Plastic screen protectors get scratched easily with keys but tempered glass screen protectors dont

The best part about the Google phones is that they *update the android version,* unlike some other phones that keep the same old android version for ever.

[@amarpreetgeadhoke2385]

best part is they will update ur camera.why cant apple update the camera of the X. my p2xl is now better then most DSLRs i have no need for my nikon and it can do more then DSLR in someways like night sight is so awesome

[@peterford9369]

@@amarpreetgeadhoke2385 I know. I just bought the 3 XL and honestly, my 2 XL, is better. I can't even make calls on my 3 XL, on speaker, because for some reason, the people on the other end either can't understand me, or they're having constant echo of their voices, when they talk to me. Only in speaker mode. 😫. But the 3 does have a few better things than the 2 XL. But I'll use my 2 XL until I figure out what to do with the 3.

[@LegatoStudios]

The Verge could sell me on a toaster 😂

[@duanedsilva]

I fail to understand why reviewers don't talk more about battery life. The phone can be as good as it can be , but if it doesn't last long enough . It's a no brainer for me !

[@MrBrandenS]

I've heard other reviewers say the battery is pretty mediocre and you can probably expect to get a day or day and a half out of the phone.

[@lawrencerosewall7460]

That is so true that is the reason I'm willing to deal with that notch is just for the extra battery life. What I don't understand is why does the pixel 4 only have a $2,900 MHz battery in 2020 for a flagship phone? That is one of the main reasons I will not be getting a four at least with the 4XL they got rid of the notch

[@ksc6000]

I love Dieter but I couldn’t disagree more about the wide angle selfie camera. Every trip I’ve taken and I want to photograph myself in the environment I’ve wished for a wider angle to capture more of the scene. I don’t think it’s a gimmick at all. I can’t wait for it.

[@yaseen.94]

Yupp that's the thing. What may look as a feature for you, may be a gimmick for a lot of other people. P.S even I don't think it's a gimmick. But you gotta understand why someone else may feel it's a gimmick.

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

Agreed, it's gonna be great for that : Best photo you took all holiday picture.

[@run6run751]

I feel like most people would've preffered the wide angle on the back.

[@dandansfu]

u do know they say its gimmick coz it will cause distortion. while that may not matter much for certain pictures, you have to understand why it may not be useful for some ppl or some scenary

[@champion1772]

Lg g6 can already do that

[@pizzalikepizza]

The smaller Pixel 3 is perfect! I am switching from my beloved iPhone SE.

[@mathurinkerbouchard8931]

@Pandu Pratama Same here. I love my iPhone SE but I am strongly considering the Pixel 3.

[@RajShekhar-jy2zi]

Go with the pixel 3 . You would be surprised by what android offers if you haven't used one before

[@pizzalikepizza]

Mathurin Kerbouchard yess. Choosing small form factor device is perfect specially if it has flagship features. I think Apple generally reborn the new SE in XR body but its too large.

[@adityakashyap951]

You are never going to regret it . Good Luck

From what I have been hearing from various users and reviewers, the camera microphone is really bad even when compared to other much lower priced phones. Also I'm not totally sold on Google's approach of just depending on clever software algorithm and touch-up to make your pictures taken with the single primary camera look good compared to a more superior hardware solution.

Still on my Nexus 6P. Still one of the best phones on the market (in my opinion) RGB notification light, still security updates, best Android version (Pie with gestures is horrible), 1440p OLED display, 2 front-facing speakers, fingerprint reader, insane camera, USB-C port anf headphone jack.

[@scottspa74]

Wireless charging is great? I'd love to know why people think that is a cool feature, considering wired charging is faster, the wireless charger means your phone is tethered - just like wired, and with wired, at least you can hold your phone and use it. Wireless charging is the dumbest thing ever. I have yet to see a single person adequately justify it. It's completely stupid. Period. Let's gear your argument.

[@FartingSpartan]

You speak the truth brother.

[@avinashsahoo2773]

Scott Sparling I’ll admit it’s slow as hell but I just drop it on the plate each night and when i wake up its 100%. I feel like only at night this is a good option.

[@mrrc3963]

I hear you on that and I was in that school of thought and well until iPhone got wireless charging (btw, I'm an iPhone hater). What that now means is we'll start seeing more wireless charging in cars, Starbucks, airports and the like. I don't particularly care for it (I just got my 3 XL last night) but at least I know that I can use one should I need it.

[@maxkho00]

It is priceless for me, as I always charge my phone overnight, with my alarm set for the morning, and very often I realise just before sleep that I need to check something on my phone. Not only is it inconvenient to have wires wrapped around you, which limit the range and position in which you are holding your phone and also annoyingly often drag my phone to the floor so that I then have to pick it up, quickly unplugging my phone and plugging it back in isn't an option, as it's way too dark to see anything during the night. Furthermore, the Pixel Stand puts your phone in such a position that, combined with Pixel 3's 'always on' feature, it allows you to see your notifications, time, and whether from anywhere in your room. This is not the biggest reason for why I have ordered the Stand, but it's a nice addition. Finally, the Pixel Stand turns your Pixel 3 into essentially a Google Home device, which is a nice touch.

[@TheAxlin]

I think it has major implications for the future. Imagine, for instance, pulling your EV into a parking space that can automatically charge your car while you shop. It's a nascent technology so naturally its uses are limited right now, but as the tech improves it could lead to ubiquitous and seamless charging for a broad range of devices and peripherals in the years to come.

Thinking about switching from iPhone to the pixel 3, but I’ve started to hear quite a few people complain about the 2xl slowing down and lagging dramatically after a year of use. At $799 it’s kind of risk to get a phone that might only last a year before getting annoying problems.

[@super12396]

Wrong, im typing this comment using a pixel xl, not even 2xl, the phone still fast af, not sign of slowing down.

[@Risket]

I have to second what Hoàng is saying. I'm still on my original Pixel XL. I skipped the Pixel 2 because mine was still working flawlessly. I'm only upgrading to the Pixel 3 because over time batteries diminish. Other than that, it still works great. You can easily get two to three years of life out of it.

[@Coaxox]

@Johnny Hickman And you don't think Apple takes user information for their own gain?

[@myNEONCITY]

I had a first gen Pixel that was rendered useless by the Android 9 Pie upgrade, it didn't even last a full 2 years before dying. I had purchased a Pixel 2 afterwards because I wanted to stay with the camera, but that phone came out of the box with a defective mic. I returned it quickly after and am using a 5 year old 5s that works fine! And the complaints about the lag on the Pixel 2 are real! Even MKBHD has this problem on his phone. Don't fall for all the camera hype, photos are about the only thing this phone is good for, quality control with hardware and software seems to be a massively lacking.

[@bryanrobinson5061]

Never had an issue with my Pixel 2 XL. Best phone I have ever had. That coming from a long term iPhone user. It all depends on what you want from your phone. If you love taking photos and having unlimited photo storage, you will not regret getting the pixel. It's also nice getting the latest and greatest on the software front. That prevented me from switching to android in the past but that is no longer a concern.

...so pricey, not sure what I'd use it for. Love my samsung 2014 edition tablet and my old HP 14" chrome book (with life long 400MB/month 4g data plan) for casual stuff. Chrome OS always surprises me when I (rarely) boot up my chromebook, but not gonna use one to program on

[@mousume2159]

The video looks very crispy. Pixel is awesome. #TeamPixel

[@strooiboy]

I am really considering switching from my Iphone X to the Pixel 3 after hearing all the great things about it.

[@marshmallowcat7035]

Don't. Google this year did some shady stuff with pixels camera, for example you can only take panorama photos at 5 megapixel quality, the selfies are great but rear camera tends to oversharpen and sometimes has this weird blue tone that makes you look almost dead (or sick). Even though pixels photo colors are sometimes more true to life but in my opinion iphone makes them more pleasing to look at. If you don't care about the camera that much, then pixel 3 it's still a great phone os wise. I tell this from my user experience, i tested pixel 3 already. Hope my comment wasn't useless 😄

[@donalcapone87]

Tollymang I wouldn’t there’s nothing like iOS and iMessage

[@human91319]

I think Pixel 4 next year would be a better choice. Also iPhone X is already really good man why do you want to upgrade :)

[@strooiboy]

I have a yearly contract so I can upgrade every year :)

[@strooiboy]

Android pie on the pixel looks really awesome though, it looks so new and fresh. iMessage was never a big deal for me since I am from outside the US and we don't have a free unlimited sms plan. We all use a third party messaging service.

[@Faiththatheals]

This is the first video of yours I've ever watched. There's so many phone reviews out there. Really appreciate all the helpful info! Looking forward to getting the Pixel 3axl

[@StroxVFX]

This is what I like to see> quick to the point reviews

[@1810jeff]

Can I disable the camera shudder sound in a way that doesn’t mute the ringtone since the shudder sound just sounds so artificial and makes me annoyed

[@dylanwoodman5592]

I think it's in settings in the camera app somewhere...

[@paiman_]

Imagine Huawei's hardware camera with Google's software processing. Damn, would be the best camera on a phone ever

[@maxkho00]

I was just thinking that. It'd probably get a DxoMark of like 150 at least, if not more. Damn, the possibilities...

[@laloajuria4678]

just means time to get a pixel 2!

[@SupremeLogo]

I'll sell you mine Pixel 2 kind of blue 64 GB excellent condition

[@MrDragonorp]

how much?

[@brooklyn560]

I'll sell you mine if you offer more than the trade in value for the 3

[@ferd1572]

Is the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL better than the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL?

[@MrDragonorp]

and how much is the trade in?

[@CEKROM]

1:41 The Notch is realy HUGE. =D Thanks for the great Video Dieter & Verge Team!

[@mattw7796]

Your thumbnails are insanely good

[@stanleymumo8548]

My problem is the 4gb ram and the big notch. Otherwise, everything's perfect. Next year I think they'll have a close to perfect phone if they have 6gb ram and a smaller notch

stanley mumo Spot on that’s what I’m waiting for.

[@bamdad19996]

No expandable storage either.

[@ryandeery6930]

bamdad19996 not a deal breaker for me but know it will be for lots of people.

[@bamdad19996]

@@ryandeery6930 I mean 64gb is far too little for a phone that relies a lot on a camera and is so huge. Just recording high quality videos will fill up the storage.

[@JackLe1127]

I can sympathize with Eli so well D':

[@deetznauts4]

I’m notch convinced.

[@ryanjbeattie]

Production value through the roof. I've paused it at 1:50 because I know it can't get any better than that.

[@mimi_sia]

You'll actually never appreciate the little convenience Google Lens provides until you've experienced it. I'm a designer that handles a lot of foreign languages including Japanese and Chinese. And Google Lens has helped me a lot in transcribing what I see in pictures and translating them. I used Google Lens one time when I was Hongkong and had a full on Chinese menu. And just the other day, my client sent me a Japanese design and I had to include some Japanese text that he forgot to type out. How'd a fix that? Google Lens. Such wonders.

Mine will be here on Thursday. Can't wait!

[@jacobvaughan1643]

Already pre-ordered my Not Pink, 64 gig, Pixel 3. I am super hyped to have it. Went to a Best Buy and held the phone and I fell in love with the way the phone feels. The display is 10 times better. And all I wanted was a brighter screen Google gave just that.

[@ankurtripathi5901]

Search verge wallpaper on Google.

Watching on my pixel 2xl.❤

[@adikristianto7604]

The real King of Android, only by Google Official. NOT samsung !! Long Live Google !! Good job for Google Pixel 3 XL, btw the notch like on iphone X LOL

[@akjl01]

Great review and beautifully shot.. 👍

[@cllamasful]

The verges videos are "top notch" Each one is better than the last. Plus Dieter is one hell of a great host.

[@PhysiologyShark]

Pixel 3 XL's notch looks more like Hitler's mustache 😆

[@nmer5023]

You literally just stole that joke from a review video

[@PhysiologyShark]

@@nmer5023 Where is it?

[@CJ-hr1ni]

😂😂😂😂 u killed it,!!!

[@amarpreetgeadhoke2385]

the wide angle cam module is the reason for bigger notch but ipx notch is so damn wide

[@BigChungusthe3rd]

meh.... recycled camera. unnecessary notch, way too expensive. Not impressed. Honestly was really disappointed :(

[@akshayvardhan386]

After 2 years I will be buy this pixel 3 just 30k

[@Shrabean]

Dieter Bohn, great review. A great editing from the Verge team. I liked that you compared the Pixel 3 with the Pixel 2 and iPhone XS for the camera.

[@adishshakya898]

*Absolutely loved the purple background*.. *Nice work Verge*
