What would convince you to buy (or not buy) the Pixel 3 and 3 XL?
What game was he playing at 1:18?
nilay is a better reviewer
yeah am definitely getting one
Wallpaper!
When the notch was on my screen I slapped it
I m thinking which to choose Pixel 3xl or asus zenfone 6. I want the best camera with the best android experience.
Can you compare these two phones, please.
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
Wallpaper please
The selfie camera with a wide angle is a great deal if you have a lot of people to fill up, otherwise, you will have to adjust by stretching your hands, making everyone adjust so that everyone’s in the frame. It is in the absence you start to realize how you miss it especially if you are a selfie person.
I have an HTC 10 and it has battery issues where it sometimes dies at 30% or bellow so I don’t know if I should switch.
What’s the wallpaper?
Just bought mine on sale for $400 off!
They can’t talk right now.
Thanks…thanks robot
Is the camera in the xl the same in the Non xl?
I screen called my mom on my pixel 2 when the update was launched because I was curious with how it worked. She was not happy.
I purchased the pixel 3 over the summer, and I like it. But I bought it for the phone. Do people really base their purchases on the camera? And why are are all these phones so expensive? My phone is more than my rent.
Software updates are my desition nowadays. I can no longer afford 300 bucks every year.
Giveaway bro advance Mary Christmas gift.. 🤗🤗
Here after pixel 4 launch
Pixel 3 xl: im the most leaked phone out there
Pixel 4 xl: hold my beer
Notches are a big no-no for me. No matter how good the phone is. I got the smaller Pixel 3. Nice compact and the screen is not small.
Does 3 XL have astrophotography feature?
I am very disappointed with the 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.
Ive got a Pixel 3 and loving it the battery life says 99% when fully charged and says 100% when its turned off from the charger
I used to love my pixel 3xl. I can’t turn off haptic feedback anymore on fingerprint senor and google assistant after Android 10 update. Another Google Fail.
yo the bg music is lowkey lit
Where can I get that wallpaper?
I’m selling my phone to buy a phone😂
Imagine saying pixel 2 camera is better than iPhone xs. Try again bro
I want the link to the wallpaper you used. 💜
Just bought a 3 XL when I compared it to the Pixel 4A.., was a no brainer and cheaper.I bet ya, the 3 is moving right now.
Rocking the Pixel 3 in October 2020. In perfect condition and still a delight to use. Screen excellent. Speakers very good. Camera truly outstanding still.. Battery not the best but Qi charging handy.. Get it second hand and you’ll be good at around £150
I want Google to bring back the front-facing speakers on this year’s phone.
1:40 OMG! I thought theres a notch pop up in my phone HAHAHA
No… It doesn’t disappear… It still haunts me… You know what I’m talking about
that notch tho
Guys I finally got a Pixel 3 about a month ago, I love it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…I am only sad about not being able to get any case for this little guy ):
Waiting for mine to arrive in 2 days.
i know its been awhile, but do we actually need the XL ? or 2 takes just as good pictures as the XL ? thanks =)
omg. google tried selling this for $799. So criminal
How do these phones hold up today in 2021? Would you still recommend buying the 3 or 3 XL today at $200 or $250? My Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime is on its last legs and I think it’s time for a change. Will this be a tough conversion? I mostly use the phone for social media and playing games.
watching on my pixel 3
how’s the video stabilization 😭😭 No reviewer tells this and we end up having terrible OIS implementations like in OnePlus 6T it’s OIS is bad.
Just got the pixel 3xl and let me tell you what a phone what a beast i bought for 150 and its incredible with a android 12 🔥🔥🔥
is there a link for the wallpaper?
