Google Pixel 3: Unboxing & First Impressions

[@thao]

✌️ What are some specific things you’d like me to test on the Google Pixel 3 for upcoming videos? LMK!

[@calvin4420]

I wonder if Nova Launcher feels laggy at all in comparison to stock Android

[@DaveMorgan]

I hear the RAM management is poop.

[@carlos53k]

Photo differences, day, night portrait. Overall differences, main pros... cons and which one you prefer if u could only have one. And don't give the I can't chose, respectfully pick one to ur preference because we all have one. Even though u purchased both of them.

[@joseg8747]

Yeah can you compare the s9 phones with nova launcher or something to the stock android of the pixel? Everyone is hype on stock Android but im NOT a believer! Thanks! Great job as usual!

[@joseg8747]

Oh yeah and really really really important. When it comes to top shot can you tell us the quality of those images? Like if u choose another image from the top shot is the quality and resolution the same? Because I heard that it's lowered down to like 3 megapixels

[@RobertTaramoeroa]

That matte finish is very nice.. but Samsung still wins my heart

[@thao]

The S9 definitely has a more flashy appearance.

[@DaveMorgan]

I wonder if Samsung One UX will be any good.

[@RobertTaramoeroa]

@@thao no hate towards the Pixel 3 but I'm too used to the curved screen on my Galaxy and couldn't imagine life without it hahaha

[@thao]

I know exactly what you mean, the engineering behind the curved glass on Galaxy phones is super impressive!

[@DaveMorgan]

@@thao I have a Note 8 and it rocks my socks.

[@vdenyne]

Really relaxing watching your unboxing video. Because unlike other youtubers, whom I feel like are doing unboxing for work or have lost the passion in it, you on the other hand do so because you actually like the products and talk about them from hearts content. Keep it up!

[@thao]

Thank you for the support and kind words. It means a lot. I try my best to be as authentic and honest as possible with my videos while having fun at the same time too! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@VeilXan]

I love the feeling of unwrapping phones. I love android but I switched for iOS since now my priorities have changed. But as a tech enthusiast, I love both but nothing beats an unboxing lol. Good job with the videos. Keep it up 🙃

[@xtqu1ckx]

You finally received it. Don't jump ship just stick with #TeamSamsung

[@holyrivs999]

Yes, I definitely AGREE :-) TEAM SAMSUNG :-)

[@JaneDoeChick]

LOL @ your intro!!! I am waiting to hear your thoughts on this device. I myself traded in my Note 9 for a OnePlus 6T. I wanted to have a more stock experience for a while. Stock Android is definitely faster even though, like you, I miss a few of the features of my Samsung phone.

[@thao]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😋

[@okay.267]

Yup can't wait for your comparison review. I currently have an LG g4 and I'm contemplating whether or not I should for the Google pixel or the lilac Samsung Galaxy S9. I like the fact that style is something you take into consideration and the camera quality cause those are the two things that has me at a what should I get stage. Can't wait!

[@sonicyvan7492]

Wow ! I'm a big thao fan

[@Berryashxo]

Finallyyyyy! 😍 cant wait to watch!

[@thao]

Hahha it's been a long wait.

It was about time, lol.

[@DaveMorgan]

It'll be hard to improve on the Pixel 2 camera.

[@dembajalloh104]

That galaxy watch looks so freaking awesome on your wrist. I want one too! So jealous😣

[@thao]

I'm loving it, my favorite purchase of the year!

[@hirostvjapan]

Nice video! looking forward to full review I have Note9 and loving it.

[@thao]

Note 9 rocks! Thanks for watching

[@kevindavis4709]

Got mine yesterday love it 😃

[@brianaguiar913]

I have the Pixel 2xl, waiting for your review to see if it's worth the upgrade. Side note, I moved from S8 to the Pixel. Loved the Pixel.

[@victory75092]

You are great. You deserve many more subscribers. Keep up the good work.

Love your videos! Quality, camera angles, color grading, casual, funny, entertaining and very informative. Saludos🇭🇳

[@reminisce76]

Love your videos. Your reactions are priceless. That Metal Gear Solid effect in the beginning is what got me lol. If I owned a Pixel device, it would be this color too. Keep up the good work love. A sub for life 👍🏼

Good work thao👍🏻

[@justpat2316]

I Love Your Videos. You are Awesome!!!!!

[@Farmhand2k]

Nice, was thinking about the XL but that notch, I can't do it... Still loving my N9 for sure...

[@thao]

Note 9 100% the way to go

[@mikenumpty9366]

@@thao Agreed. Thank you for comparing this with Samsung Galaxy S9 - the note is in a class of it's own. Google Pixel should also be compared to the other Notch HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro

[@Mrnovanova]

I got the clearly white pixel 3 because of the notch too. Great camera great haptic engine, the navigation system is a bit of a fail tho. Must be quite a change from the note 9. Size wise I mean! Keep doing your thing girl. Great video as always.

[@thao]

Thanks for the love!

[@kimbridge5592]

It will be interesting to see what you think of stock android. Personally when I was having a look at the 3xl I didn't like it. Gestures were on and got used to them pretty quick. But after that I was bored didn't like the camera setup when I could get it to work. And I still prefer Samsung messages email phone dialler and stuff

[@gboy888]

Awesome pick up! Welcome to #team pixel :-). Have you already tried the Wind Down feature in the Digital Well-Being option? It's another pleasant software surprise. A good feature for the eyes at night.

[@thao]

Thanks! Not yet, still getting accustomed to it! Appreciate the tip!

[@gboy888]

@@thao No prob! You'll see the Flip to Shhh feature around there as well. You may have heard of all the software bug reports that some people may or may not be experiencing. I won't say they don't exist but for me they're not deal breakers. Plus, the Pixel line has always reached it's full stride after getting the monthly software update or two. It'll be worth the wait.

[@MS-qy3xr]

Love the intro!

[@calvin4420]

I definitely love the effort you put in your videos Thao

Ah love it girly ! It's a beautiful phone but I love my s9 ♡ to switch . And, something about black phones just look so sleek ! Enjoy it . Cant wait to see ya thoughts on it

[@thao]

The s9 is a gorgeous device. I'm low-key sad about replacing it, but I also have the note 9 so it's nice to have variety

[@sweetpea4301]

@@thao oh yeah you have the note 9 too! Definitely true, Variety is the spice of life 😅🤗 x3

[@atanuly]

Expecting a camera comparison...😉

[@saulaceituno14]

Nice unboxing video Thao! I figured you wouldn't go the the XL version either becoz of the notch. In my head I was thinking "I hope she won't get the XL" lol. I also hate the notch, especially that deep notch oh man! No offense to those who don't mind the notch and are reading this. Looking forward to your full review on this.

[@thao]

Thanks Saul! Yeah that notch is a no go. Hopefully notches are gone with next year's devices.

[@saulaceituno14]

Yes I hope so too! That's what drove me away from Apple in the first place and I became an android user. So far Samsung is the only one not going down the notch route so I'm sticking with them.

[@willemvanoosterum4407]

The green back of the box gave it away

[@xKayNee]

Whatever you do.....don't abandon the Note 9!! 🙁🙁 glad you went for the smaller version though, best of both worlds now

[@RobertReenders]

Please do an iPhone XR comparison video with the Pixel

[@HOOTIEHOOT]

I went with the ONE PLUS 6T and just like you said the NOTCH. that just kills it for me I'll wait and hopefully next year models won't have them

[@darkmanx2g]

Lol I love your videos!

Thanks for watching!

[@JLOVE12]

I like your video and I like the phone and the stand

[@howardmackenzie4365]

Glad it finally showed up. Would like to see how you like the camera(night shots) that's it's big selling point. Which phone will you choose to use after the comparisons, the Pixel 3 or Note 9?✌

✌️ Camera comparisons are next on my list!

[@ilibraci]

Can you review the new ipad pro ?

Trust me i had a samsung all my life until pixel 3 xl... The camera and software experience changes your mind

[@gauravfru]

Grt review

[@dnazz9784]

If you SLOWLY swipe up you can get to app drawer in one swipe but I think their intention was to predict which app you are going to use by limiting it to just 5 at first. The predictability should improve over time.

[@thao]

Appreciate the tip! I figured those 5 apps on the multitasking screen would be adaptive.

[@trivikram1988]

Long swipe up should take you to the app drawer.

[@samuelaurora3632]

This was fun to watch. How did the Pixel 3 turn out for you? Buying next week Edit planned on getting the 3a until recently Google dropped the price of Pixel 3. $499 with Google Fi.. slowly turned the leaf!

[@thao]

It's still great, no bells or whistles and the camera is as good as advertised!

[@nicolewang8941]

I think you should keep both phones. Wait... don't you have a Note 9 too? The camera, simplicity and compact design of the Pixel and the power and features of the Note 9. I think you're set :)

I do. I use the Note 9 for work and maybe in the near future, the Pixel 3 as my personal phone. It'll be the perfect combo!

[@spudd1111111]

you switched phones because of the camera? i did an experiment with my friends, boxed out the edges on high end brands, samsung, apple, huawei etc (with cardboard so they cant see the edges, only the screen) and took the same photos of stuff. got them to guess which is what phone/brand going off by the quality of the photo...... outcome: no one gave a sh*t, they were all arguably the same, phones these days are high end and is expected as the new base standard of camera quality. the ONLY way ill switch phone because of camera is if it has an aperture of f1.2...period
