Google Pixel 3 Review: Tough Call

[GOOGLE PIXEL 3 REVIEW]
Among Star Trek fans, “Kobayashi Maru” is synonymous with “no-win scenario” … and this year in mobile tech, my Kobayashi Maru is the Pixel 3 review. Because this phone is marred by so much controversy and compromise that phone geeks will flay me for even suggesting it’s worth its asking price ... while at the same time, the normal folks at whom the phone is aimed will see a fantastic iPhone XS alternative for $200 less -- and for them, the defects I call out may seem barely worth a mention. As usual, reality is somewhere in between. Join me as I try to tease the truth from the trash, in the MrMobile Google Pixel 3 Review!

*Good to see someone actually reviewing the normal Pixel 3. Everyone else seems to be reviewing the Notch 3 XL*

[@therealestmc85]

Alternative Tech Reports because that’s the thing that pops out the most. You can ignore the stupid notch on the phone.

[@tams805]

Most reviewers tend to go for the larger device (although to be fair the larger device is usually more powerful).

[@Neanderthal75]

Yes, the reviewers, and the manufacturers are sizing their phones up, like everyone wants to carry a smaller sized television. While there is a significant section of the population aren't happy about the larger devices. The optimal size should be what the iphones used to be, or for example, the LG G6 or the Galaxy S8/sS9 non-plus.

[@user-rv3ef8ji5y]

Yes considering almost all the specs are identical

[@And1Filipo]

So.. do you recommend the phone?

[@TheMrMobile]

Really enjoyed talking to you guys in the Premiere chat! Gotta get back to filming now but hit me with more questions below and I'll try my best to answer the top-voted handful. On to the next phone!

[@hendrachristian]

Can you describe how life looks like switching phones every couple of weeks (or every couple days in case of Oct)? Do you have a dedicated Google account just for review or you use your real account and had to keep your apps to minimum to quickly setup new phones?

Amazing review like always Micheal. You're just head and shoulders above the rest on KZbin. Just love your style. Kindly keep the background music the one used when u reviewed the one plus 5t, it ausum.

[@videoforum4047]

The whole *point* of gestures is to remove the navigation bar for more immersive screen on these near bezelles phones. Google somehow managed to fail at understanding this concept... Just adopt the iphone X gestures if you cant figure anything by yourself, but that navigation bar has to go away. We went a step back here, gestures *and* nav bar. Great job Google..

[@chiebert290]

Agreed. I was excited about gestures because I thought it meant full screen real estate. Maybe next year.

[@tawkirrahaman2022]

you can get read of it via an app

[@remsrhythm9408]

I actually tried an iPhone xs and the pixel 3 and found myself learning the gestures of the pixel much faster on the X's for me it was very hard to bring out all the other tabs

[@quchi7232]

Oneplus' gesture is awesome tho.

[@samuelaurora3632]

I never use gestures. Maybe because I am still using a galaxy grand prime. It’s been years since getting a new phone. Landed on Pixel 3 ($499 deal @ Google) and seeing all you guys complain about these little quirky, unnecessary “problems” blows my mind. *_GASP nOt a NotiFicatioN tAb_* Who cares geez

[@WinterSoldier0315]

Agree with everything in your review, thanks for that!! The camera just blows me away, makes me much more aware of taking pictures in my daily life, and I am always 1000% pleased with the way they are coming out. Love the build with the glass back, it feels so simple and premium. NOT a fan of the gestures as well. I wish they would have given more options like OnePlus did with the 6 when they rolled out Pie. You can hide the buttons, have all three, or just use 2. And, with Nova Launcher, you can use gestures to swipe up anywhere on the home screen for the app drawer...it just seemed much more fluid. But, I am anxious to see how things morph when Google starts pushing out updates. And I agree, battery life is ok, but definitely thought it would be better...

[@liamalford1811]

Craig Foucht I e never had a android phone I’ve always been apple since I moved from Nokia back in the day. I’ve ordered the pixel 3 and I think that’s a testament to how good it really is as I think it’s the best non apple phone out there 👍🏼

[@seanmcd72]

Any chance you had the OG Pixel XL to compare battery to? If so is it at least as good as the Pixel XL was?

[@vm20709]

Great review. Glad to hear feedback on vibration motors, something most other reviews leave out, which is surprising since it affects the majority of our smartphone experience. And I had the exact same negative experience with gestures on Pie

[@KeithBriosos]

The Price is different for all places in the world, the only notable thing that kept me from buying a Pixel here in the Philippines, is the price. Its not $800 like in the United States, but more like $1200 in the Philippines. For that much money, even if I really like to have that phone as my daily driver for the next 3 years, I just couldn't. BTW. The iPhone XS here starts at $1250 and the top of the range XS Max with 512GB is almost $2000.

[@jeffreytz]

Another great review. I love my Pixel 3, especially the size. I kept my Pixel 2 XL as my work phone (separate number/carrier) and every day I'm shocked how small the Pixel 3 feels but still has a "big enough" screen. Totally agree on the app switching gesture, I expect we'll get new "options" in a future update. My 3's camera still doesn't have Night Sight.

[@sb17146]

Apple did the gestures perfectly kinda disappointed with the pill. I've had that using Nav Gestures which is reporgramable for the gestures you want the pill to do. I really thought when Android P was hyping a fully gesture based exp it would be like Apple's.

I'm trying to adjust my recording resolution so I can record longer but My phone does not match what google support shows.... I have no settings icon when I click MORE in my camera app.. I found camera settings through a roundabout patch somehow but can't find it again. When I did, It did NOT show front or back camera options. It only shows "Photo" and "Video" Finally, the only resolution setting I can change is 4k ON or OFF..... Do you have any answers? I bought the phone for its camera and storage solutions but now I can't record more than 30 minutes without it running out of memory even right after I clear the storage. Do you have any answers?

[@jd2569]

I have the Pixel 3 XL in white. Coming from OnePlus 5T. My impressions: Pros: Great camera Excellent video stabilization Free full size photo and video storage in Google photos. Cons: The speakers sound bad. Distortion. Vibrates the phone. The microphone is terrible. Phone is laggy sometimes. Shouldn't be the case with a $1k phone Hideous notch Fingerprint sensor on the back. I think it's an inconvenient location. No flashlight shortcut Ridiculously short charger cable.. about 2.5 ft Lacking physical switch for do not disturb mode Not sure if I will keep it yet.

[@cosmingosav]

How can you like it when 1. It still takes up a huge screen real estate(same as buttons did), which basically renders it useless and 2. Why swipe twice for the app drawer? It's counter intuitive. Let's say google wants you to use the recents tab more than the menu, ok i get it. But the shit ram management renders it useless.

I mean, the recent tab had to be changed so you scroll horizontally and they did it perfectly with swiping left and right.

[@fjdndjsnxb8488]

but you get a 720p screen most phones give you a 1440p screen and the pixel comes with fastcharger and earbuds, and the pixel uses anroid, has a better camera and comes with unlimited photo and video storage.

[@chetlyp]

yeah so it's not 720p, but regardless of that, most normal people can't notice individual pixels at a density of 326ppi. at least I can't. but an LCD screen is definintely inferior to an OLED in contrast and brightness I think. although the pixel screen is the dimmest of them all.

About the battery, could you last all day on the XL, or would it be the same on both for your usage?

I got my note 9 brand new for 550$ So yeah the pixel 3 is a pathetic value

🤘 definitely getting it thank you much for the review awesome

[@Mudig]

is the absence of a headphone jack going to negatively affect the audio quality? I'm wondering if I should upgrade from my LG V30 which has a tradition headphone jack + hi-dac to this phone.
