[@jon368100]

I had someone "outside the industry" talk to me about this phone, and the more and more reviews I see I agree with what he said. The Pixel is about the experience, making sure your hardware is in sync with software, and that camera. Reviews like this honestly show how out of touch some of youtube's mobile tech reviewers have become. to the general person that saw almost no performance difference between the SD820/821/835 or the A8/9/10, the 845 and 4GB of RAM is going to be more than enough. This phone is not for people that chase specs, and I'm glad. Google focused on making it amazing to *use*. Also, with the storage thing...your music is stored in the cloud, and your photos have the option to as well. How much more storage do you people need? Storage space is the *perfect* example of what I'm talking about. I had a 128GB iPhone 7 and didn't get close to using even half of the storage. What are you people carrying around in these phones that 64GB or even 128GB isn't enough? if you're really running into that limiter alot, you need to reevaluate what's on your phone. if you don't use it or look at it at least a couple times per year, put it in the cloud or on your computer. Be fair.

[@SamiiLovee90]

Same here, 128 gigs that I didn't even come close to using with 2k images and more than 30 apps. It was honestly a waste. I thought I may need it for my pixel but with the unlimited photo storage I'm happy to not have all that unnecessay storage space.

[@四川老罗]

I am watching this on my 2015 first gen Pixel XL, while thinking of switching to a bigger, cheaper, more-battery-life, budget phone. Once you tried bigger screen and longer battery life phones it's really hard to go back to the smaller (even with more PPI) and shorter battery life premium phones. However, the camera, stock Android, G logo, Pixel name etc are really addictive, and on the other hand, longer battery saves you from fear and makes everything easier, because you don't have to worry about charging when you go somewhere out of your daily routine and also I am not a power bank fan. I simply don't like them. This is not easy for me... but I can feel that I am reaching out towards the budget phone further than ever... Please build a better phone which has REAL all-day-long battery life Google.

64gb is enough for 90% of users, not all of us record in 4K! I use about 30gb. No idea why anyone needs 128gb? Bugs, just had an update which has sorted RAM management. I ignored all the reviews on KZbin as I understand that they are all droids that base their opinions on the number of gimmicks, most of which the average users (non-KZbin watchers) simply do not worry about. Could not be happier and my favourite phone of 2018 and I have used the Mate 20X and iPhone XS Max. It does the important stuff well. Battery life is brilliant including standby time. The notch is easily covered with Nacho Notch. Would recommend it, obviously for some that care more about a tick box exercise of features we never use, then the Pixel will not be close to what they want, but for those wanting quality this is the best.

[@stephenwouw8624]

Wether people need 128gb or not, Google Pixel 3 have all sign of scam tactics on their behalf. Why can OnePlus add 128gb memory and 6gb ram and charge less, (a whole lot less) than the Pixel 3?! I've purchased 1 with my own money, and returned it happily after 10 days... In short; The screen is terrible of all the olds, the mic is horrible, the ram just isn't enough, resulting in native apps as chrome and google maps crashing whilst listening to Spotify... it takes seconds to actually safe an screenshot, add to that saving your photos also takes time. Being an photographer, I like to shoot without any HDR and whatnot and for that the Pixel 3 hardly isn't any better than any of the competition. The screen on time hardly gets to 5 hours... and that frosted glass on the back just got scratches all over the place... jeans are softer then keys but still.. not for the pixel 3 xl. The last is the design... the notch is a thing, but how can they look at the phone and say; that looks stunning!" well I don't know... I learned quickly that they've just could raise the speaker grill up against the edge and reduce the notch, same goes for the chin... to accomodate stereo speakers they did the same thing on the bottom, instead if they bring it all the way up against the edge, the chin would be minimal...but that costs a bit more... same goes for the fingerprint scanner on the back like phones in 2016... but we're in 2018 and in a few weeks it's 2019... I don't want a phone from an manufacturer that cuts corners with hardware, but still raise the price. The hardware components are mediocre at best... the display is more an request to purchase the cheapest old displays available to assemble the Pixel 3, not to mention the awful Microphone. An lacklustre design adds more suspicion that they cut corners and save money on production and tried to compensate all hardware shortage with software... If you fall for that trap by all means help yourself.

Google has simply messed up with pixel 3 and that 71000 rupees tag in our country is simply a no go when one plus 6t is available at literally half its price. Google can really give its competitors a run for its money but I don’t why they are pricing it so high when galaxy note 9 is available for Rs.10000 less.

Although, I will say that OnePlus is an excellent phone line and I wish it got more exposure. I've had people with Galaxy phones be jealous of my OnePlus'. They then get stunned when I tell them how much they cost. But as soon as they find out that it's a brand they've never heard of, they lose interest as if it's not trustworthy or mainstream enough for them.

Pixels don't need a larger storage capacity because google photos is such a fantastic app. With a pixel you get unlimited cloud storage for free, and there's a button to free up space that is so easy to use even iphone users can figure it out (though if you have it on an iphone you don't get unlimited high quality storage for free). And unless you download every app in the play store, you're really not going to need more than 64gb of storage nevermind 128gb.

[@PrayerofPara]

This type of stuff seems right until you use the phone. The Pixel 3 is the best phone I've ever used by a large margin. I had my reservations about some of the design decisions after all the nitpicking reviews but owning the phone for a while erases ALL of them. I didn't think it could really be so much more pleasant than everything else I've used or tried but it is, Android or iOS. I still think an SD card would be a huge value but isn't crucial and the lack of a headphone jack is the biggest real drawback and actual downside in daily use

Pixel 3 is the smartest phone on the market.

@Mathieu Roy coming from iPhone 6(touch disease phone) i love the pixel 3. I agree with everything you say. The user interface is awesome for the past 2 days I tried my first Android phone; and glad I got the deal on Black Friday sale at Google and the Google stand for half off at Best buy.

[@keithck3720]

Got it on Google's black friday sale. $200 CAD off, down to $800. There's no way I would've bought it otherwise. Coming from a Nexus 5X (and Nexus 5 before that), I needed a new phone sooner than later anyways and was probably going to spend $500-600 anyways. Going to echo other people's thoughts, it's a very good phone but not worth the full MSRP. Definitely worth it at the lower price though. *edit* As a comparison, the LG G7 One on the Android One program has slightly lower than last years flagship specs and costs $800 CAD. At $800 CAD ($600 USD), the Pixel 3 is the best stock Android experience.

[@Triptisim]

Great content as usual. You're right it's hard to reccomend! But, honestly if people have the money they should pull the trigger- it's not a poor persons phone by any stretch of the imagination. When you weigh the comparisons to the 6t, S9, blah blah blah. It has probably the 3 most important things a flagship phone can have in 2018: the software support, the camera, and a quick UX and intuitive UI. You get what you pay for and if you can't afford a pixel, then get something else, for the people that HAVE the choice it's a good one.

[@blakewhitlow]

hahaha 2 of those points don't even matter to the 6t. 1. the camera you don't realize that you can get the pixel 3 camera on the 6t. 2. oneplus phones come with 2 years of support for updates and sure google might get them first but the fact that oneplus were able to get a stable version of android 9.0 less than 2 months after pixel phones got it is REALLY impressive.

[@Triptisim]

blake whitlow hello 6t anime fanboy! Welcome. Typing that on your 6t, I bet!! Do you know anything about the difference between SOFTware and HARDware? Software is the thing you see on the screen, yes! The screen! And hardware- those are the resources utilizited by the software to make the phone function. Wow! Do you even know what UI and UX means WITHOUT googling it- nah you wouldn't admit to that. Smh... Yes, you can flash or download the Pixel's camera software to almost any Android phone AND most of the features are indeed software features, but you fail to see (I'm assuming because "fanboy-ness") that Google optimized the software to work with the hardware on the pixel 3- so if people truly want the "pixels camera" then they will get the best results with a pixel since the 6t doesn't share the same HARDware resources that the pixel 3 does, what a concept! Obviously you're not keyed into having the absolute best photos possible out of your phone. Looks like "never-settle" is settling for something after all haha 😂😂😂 And how could I forget about software!! You're obviously not a developer or truly care about software updates- backing up the 6t like that because, wow! 2 years of updates?? No way. Android P 2 months later, WOW. Anyways- sarcasm aside, I'm sure you're enjoying your lightly skinned oxygenOS non-standard version of 9.0, that of course- doesn't come with the aforementioned "pixel camera" SOFTware you speak of. Again looks like "never-settle" is settling for later updates as well. No hard feelings though, we're all entitled to our own opinions. I'm not trying to knock you because you clearly couldn't afford a pixel or mommy and daddy got you a 6t for your birthday. What my point is: if people want (and can actually afford) the best phone camera on the market, AND want the best Android expirence from a UI and UX standpoint taylored for Android phones by Google, then the pixel 3 is above and beyond the best option. That doesn't mean everyone should have a pixel 3 or XL, it just means that your statement "it doesn't apply to the 6t" is clearly not well thought through or you just lack understanding about the fundamentals of hardware and software integration. I can't believe I'm wasting 5 minutes responding to comments haha. Good day, and I hope your 6t treats you well for the next "2 years"!!

[@blakewhitlow]

@@Triptisim first of all idk what UI and UX means do I care NOPE :P secondly I used to own a nexus 6p so I was already getting 1 month or more delayed updates after the First pixel came out. If I really didn't care about updates I wouldve gotten a Samsung phone. Your point is kinda stupid given how low the pixel 2 and pixel 3 sales are cuz the mass market doesnt want the best cameras in phones anymore meanwhile oneplus continues to grow in sales. I could've gotten a pixel but why would I want a phone with only 4 gigs of ram in 2018 lmao (plus it had lots of ram issues). Also the Op6t has a bigger battery and double the storage on the base model. My point is yes the pixel camera is the best but when I can just get Gcam app and most of the pixels camera features would be on my Op6t (comparison shots you can't really tell a huge difference anyway definitely not one that warrents an extra $ 250) including all these other benefits there is really no reason to get the pixel 3 and sales prove that.

[@Triptisim]

blake whitlow Ah yes, anime weeb back again to get reamed I see!! Calling my argument stupid? How mature, you must be 12 because clearly you still don't have a legitimate retort, nor must you have enough cash to buy a pixel, hence the fanboy-ness over your beloved 6t. OOF. No idea what UI and UX are, AND don't care? Clearly you do not care about software nor are you educated enough to have a qualified opinion about it. It's not even worth discussing with you. Period. And here's the deal, you're obviously a spec sheet warrior wanting to somehow prove that what you own is better than what everyone else has. You're cearly not mature enough to look at the higher level of WHY people buy phones in 2018 like we, developers and college educated people, do. Nobody cares the Pixel has 4 gigs of ram, nobody cares that it has less mAh blah blah blah. People buy a phone to have the "best camera", "best software expirence" and to get them through the day on a single charge. YOU may think that the specs matter but guess what? You're wrong- specs don't matter, you know that other company we ALL hate?? Yeah the one that starts with an "A", Apple? Why do people buy their phones when clearly they aren't the most "speced-out" phones in the world? Mmm let's see, because they have a battery that will get people through the day, they have pretty damn good cameras front and back, and guess what?? That UI and UX thing you aren't educated enough to understand, yeah, they nail it for their users. THAT is why people buy phones in 2018 not because "tehe my phone has x ram" or "oh no my battery isn't the biggest". Sucks to have to compare your phones specs to compensate for something else 😂😂 And AGAIN my argument isn't that EVERYONE should own a pixel!! Like I said originally- it's a hard phone to reccomend at the price point hence the sales data. But you still have not made a legitimate claim for why people who aren't poor, and don't rely on mommy and daddy to get them a new phone every "2 years"; for those people that actually have the choice to buy the phone- the decision to pull the trigger on a pixel would be a good one!!

[@stephenwouw8624]

the 3 most important thing for the average consumer is battery life, smooth UI and value for the money spent. And in all those 3 things Google sucks at it... Battery life is average or even below average compare to the other options Smooth UI well even the "stock" android they can't get it right. Value for Money, well if all the hardware is so cheap, and the software is buggy and the design is lacklustre and you have to wash your phone to get rid of the scratches... it's utter hopeless. So many other phones have the proper hardware and that results that the user interface works well and smooth.. Today you can pay $400 up to $1100 for an phone, at $400 you get what you pay for plus a whole lot more, and at $1100 you get something that is solid and last you at least a few years and looks decent and feels premium. And for the Pixel they want you to pay $900 for a basically a box of scrap..

re: the issue with the amount of storage on the Pixel 3: While I 100% support giving phones more on-board storage, especially in the era of manufacturers locking out support for expandable storage, the Pixel 3 offers unlimited cloud-based storage of photos and videos at full quality for a minimum of 3 years which helps mitigate the storage issue, so I think that flaw of the phone can be forgiven at least a little.

It will become better quickly.

[@nipunsharma5351]

Paul Matencio That is exactly what Google is aiming to do with its pixel lineup. Introduce them as solid, well performing phones that nail the basics; Software support, UI/UX, camera and performance and gradually penetrate the market as people warm up to it. The Nexus line was too fragmented, changed every year and lacked a theme. Google had to start all over again. The hardware, design, software required consistency and Google has begun well with the Pixel. Most, if not all reviews on KZbin are superficial in their judgement of the phone and just add to the hate regarding the notch and initial bugs. The notch will probably be reduced by next year and gone within two- three years as the tech changes. It’s not the end of the world even if the pixel 3 has the worst notch of all phones. It won’t be long before the pixel 4 is out next year. This too shall pass.

[@JustineBaruch]

I am very disappointed with the google pixel 3 phone AND google services. Google dropped the ball multiple times in their customer service and did not compensate for their mistakes in any way besides “I sincerely apologize.” I decided to not get a warranty from Best Buy where I bought the phone because google offered a 1 yr manufacturing warranty. This was a big mistake. I bought the google pixel 3 because of the camera. The camera broke, which apparently is a problem for this phone (according to what I found online). First step to try and fix the phone is reformatting. I needed a google assistant to walk me through the steps to back up my material and reformat the phone. I asked the assistant 3 times if my photo and recordings were backed up (I confirmed this by looking at the transcripts of our conversation). She checked and confirmed that all was backed up. However, all of my recordings were lost. This set me back quite a bit with my work. Google ‘sincerely apologized’ (there wasn’t much else they could do with this one. And this same response was given when I felt there were other alternatives to fix their mistakes). The camera wasn’t fixed so I had to send my phone in and they would send a new one back to me. This means going without a phone for 2-3 weeks weeks. Within a month of receiving the “new” phone, the battery dies completely by noon (4-5 working hours). I question if I had received a new phone or a refurbished phone? The phone that I sent in because of a broken camera battery lasted much longer and it was several months old. Also the finger print sensor was significantly less sensitive than the first pixel 3 phone I had (another reason why I think they may have sent me a refurbished phone). I now had to send the phone in again, go another 2-3 weeks without a phone. I was very disappointed with this product as it was said to be one of the better phones on the market and it wasn’t cheap. I requested a refund instead of another draw out exchange for a ‘new’ phone. I was told I would hear back from someone within 5 days. It took them 3 weeks to get back to me. And all I received was an email saying please call us. I called 6 more times until we finally arrived to unfavorable and disappointing answer. Each representative that I talked to said they would look into the issue and get back to me. Some promised to call me back within the hour, others the next day, some said in 1-3 days. No one ever got back to me so I had to continue to call and share my process all over again. On the 4th and 5th call, I asked to stay on the line while they looked into it since the previous representatives didn’t get back to me. Each time they assured me they would personally take are of it and promised to get back to me. I am a trusting person and so went along. The google assistants were very nice; however, they all lacked follow through. This process went on for another 2 weeks and hours and hours on the phone with google. Each time I had told them that I am leaving the country right after christmas and thus am running out of time to send the phone in to get a ‘new’ one. They finally gave me an answer saying that their policy does not allow exchanges and cannot help me in getting a phone faster than within their 2-3 weeks exchange rate. It took me 6 weeks to get to this answer and I am now out of time because of leaving the country to get a replacement. All of this is clearly documented and recorded and they were not willing to compensate for their multiple mistakes in any way. They would just say. “I sincerely apologize.” I do not recommend this phone or anything that will require you to rely upon google services.

My Nexus 6p battery now only has 30% life it in it which means it lasts an hour if I am lucky. I decided to buy the Pixel 3 since it is available for $499 on Google. I have read and watched lots of reviews and it seems like the Pixel 3 is the best choice for me. I looked at the Pixel 3a but was not impressed by the specs and lack of dual front firing speakers. I am hoping that the many issues that people have reported about the call quality, slow loading camera app, etc. will not be a part of my recent purchase.

You have to buy the phone from the OnePlus site to get it but it is your decision for what phone you want but most points in this video made little sense, the new update from Google fixes most of the bugs listed in this video and unless you want to pay over 1,000 dollars on the new iPhones or worry about a phone that isnt supported in America, I suggest the Google Pixel 3 regular or XL is a good choice for you.

I got mine for $400. Coming from a S5. I love it so far. Storage is non-issue for me as I had 16GB with the S5. Didn't know microphone was bad. I will be exploring that. Camera abilities and clean Android experience clinched it for me.

this video has alot of mistakes but i do have to say this phone is pretty hard to recommend

I switched to 64 gig Pixel 2XL from 128 gig version of One Plus 3T. At first I thought that I would miss the extra storage space, but with unlimited Google Photos space as soon as you have WiFi connectivity, everything is uploaded to the cloud. In my 6 months with the Pixel not once I did I run out of storage or had to transfer my pics or videos using a USB cable. Super convieniet and not a con in my opinion as far as Pixel phones are concerned.

Pixel 3 - slows down to a 2015 device.

[@ForeverAbroad]

if you could get this for $750 CAD or $550USD would you buy it? That is the current price with the sale going on on google store.

Guys don't burn your heart... simply pick a poco phone F1 flash pixel experience ROM on it, boom... you saved 700$, you have a headphone Jack, you have a 4000mah battery, you have liquid cooling, you have sd845, you will have Google camera built in, you have upgradable storage... and you will get updates and learn New things in life... magic isn't.

and you get a notch -_-

@MegaAlpakka that's also a great choice

You have a crap screen, crap camera. Also I've never once needed expandable storage.

[@danielrouw2593]

@@lolcat they use the same camera sensor so once you use gcam app its golden. Expandable storage is always a bonus. Do millennials like paying more for less options or something?

[@BenjaminWoolhead]

I got a great deal - it will end up costing me $530 Canadian - which makes it worth it for me because my biggest thing in a phone is the camera. I would find it hard to justify spending $1000 CAD on it though. This is a very honest and balanced review.

[@DanieleSegato]

The real unacceptable thing is people still demanding an sd card slot on Android, in 2018. That is COMPLETELY useless.

[@connorbonstein4048]

Maybe for you it is useless. For me, it is an amazing addition to have on my Galaxy S8+. I can record tons of audio at high quality, shoot as many pictures as I want and keep them all full quality and transfer them quickly to my computer, save large downloaded files to it, etc. Maybe for you, it doesn't matter, but for me, it makes a big difference in how I use my phone.

[@DanieleSegato]

@@connorbonstein4048 you do that by habit. It would be A LOT better to use an online storage instead. Like google photos for images for example. Again: it's 2018. In the same way it was considered normal to buy audio tapes, then CD, and now nobody does that anymore. Technology advance and this is the next step. The sooner you embrace it, the better :-) It's gonna happen, like it or not.

[@JacobKinsley]

Yep because when SD cards were officially announced to be obsolete by Mr Chadwick Technology Johnson everyone simultaneously threw their SD cards into the ocean. I still remember the advert, 'Oh hoh hoh kids, remember to throw your SD cards in the ocean, and also slap my nutty ballsack!' and we did. Good times.

[@DanieleSegato]

@@JacobKinsley mobile os are not written like PC applications, they use their internal memory. The external storage cannot be properly secured. The only things you can put in the external storage are photos and media files. Most people do not properly keep backup, and a mobile phone is even less secure then an home drive. You are right, nobody thrown away their tapes right away. There are always early adopters and people holding on to something worst until they finally realize they should probably switch, or wait long enough to have some kids mock them they are still using that ancient tech. No. SD card on phones are not a worthy selling point. It's just cleaver marketing selling point to lure someone like you into buying their products. :-) Go for it if you want. But do not criticize a phone for not having an SD card: it's you that did not keep up, not the phone.

[@JacobKinsley]

@@DanieleSegato oh shit you know what is secured though? My ballsac, they secure the testicles into their dedicated holding station so that all the ladies can tend to them like a chef coating a turkey with seasoning. Aw yeah.
