      If you ever get a chance of using one as your main phone you realise. I’ve just picked up a Samsung S10+. As much as I like this new phone I find myself still reaching for my pixel 3XL.

      4gb ram is unacceptable with a $700+ price point

    So this smartphone is failing at its core feature of being a phone? That sucks.??

    Ah! I was expecting to know about daily performance besides the camera. Like has the speed taken a hit, battery, screen …

      On mine, speed and battery are as new and screen is still standing up well. Haven’t had any of the issues some other people have had. Unfortunately though, it NEEDS a case. The hardware of this phone is damaged or dirtied so, so easily.

    Can’t take that phone seriously because of notch!

    2:00 In the XDA forum, this has been addressed very frequently not only on the Pixel Phones but also in other models and in Customized ROMs for other models, this is a big issue but still unaddressable because we can’t find where is this coming from.

    I still love my pixel 3xl and haven’t experienced any of those problems luckily

    Pixel 3xl call quality sucks. Pixel lines has bad mics.

  13. Slacker101

    They can’t fix it cause it’s a hardware issue.

      Slacker101 you can fix the notch with software

    I would highly suggest that you try a feature out before saying you don’t see yourself using it. That’s not really review material. That’s just personal opinion or speculation

    Who else has the Pixel 3? What’s your verdict?

    Watch our hands-on with the Galaxy Fold:

    I really hope Google gets rid of that Notch. It’s still as ugly as it was 6 months ago

    This phone and its notch improve considerably if you hide the huge navigation bar with Fluid NG (in the Play store). Getting the real estate that the nav bar uses almost makes up for the notch.

    “Great Camera” – pretty much the ONLY good thing about this phone that is otherwise plagued with issues. I don’t understand the notch because of the chin. If the phone isnt even close to edge to edge display why use a notch? Alright when it came out but now it cant even compete. Especially for its price.

    Everything else sucks, keep it moving.

    New adjective for millennials they love to over use when experiencing something new “Creepy” – cracks me up. Such a sheltered generation. If I had a nickel for Everytime that was used,……money In the bank I tell you!?

    Why every time the android newest operating system update the battery ? usage from 95%to 75% , than after a few months update thé battery become 60% after one or two year the battery ? become 50%~25% , after a years a newest model of hardware phone going out , than lots of advertising told you to buy a pixel 5 -pixel 6 in 2019 years and 2023 years etc ,

    Their for every time the android operating system update fix the security hole or vunability or make your mobile phone life usage make it shorter ?

    Why in catering industries and banking industry also government agency/law enforcement still using historic android 4.4 or 4.42? They have much important information ℹ️ than general customer, why does the commercial/civil souvent refuse to update by monthly or annuel ? ?

    Also how did every time the android patch update the non ?‍♀️ technology background consumer and elderly grandparents have to learn the newest features to fix in (Food delivery ? ) login / / (banking and investment apps and insurance apps ) / online shopping and sells apps login and comptable apps , it make I.t. Manager use more extra time to troubleshooting and lots of downtime errors, getting compliant by H.R. dept and logistic dept and production team and worst report of monthly stable system report ☹️

    Although the ? operating system/Mac desktop ? system who is lower speed in benchmark, but the high income of attractive fashion lady love it ? in marketing team and promotions team and sells team , but it need all the standard licensing and registration fee software even fortune ? 500. NYSE may not being affordable for it license key ? servers to report revenue to stock holder ?

    Great camera, very mediocre phone, and yes, I own one.
    My Pixel 3 XL is in a drawer with Android Q beta 2 on it and will be pulled out to put beta 3 on it.

    Still love my 3 XL 128GB model to this day. Returned my Note 9 for it back in January and still have no regrets. This is a beautiful phone and it puts the cameras on the Note 9 to shame.
