But the Pixel 3 XL is more functional: It has two selfie cameras, dual front-facing speakers, and Active Edge, allowing you to squeeze the sides of the frame to trigger Google Assistant. We prefer this over a dedicated AI button, something that annoys us about Samsung and LG’s new phones with dedicated, often-mispressed AI buttons.

The Google Pixel 3 XL ends up being the best option for people who want photos as flawless as they come on a smartphone, and are already used to a wielding sizable handset. It’s hard to downsize, even if the tighter dimensions of the 5.5-inch Pixel 3 are a better fit for most people.These specs are underwhelming on paper, but Google’s secret sauce is its image-processing capabilities, partly powered by a special chip that sits alongside the main processor called the Pixel Visual Core. Getting started Simon Hill/Digital Trends The new 16MP f/2.4 telephoto lens offers a 2x optical zoom, and hits a hybrid zoom of up to 8x. The camera app switches to the new lens at around 1.8x zoom with barely a hitch, which is a nice touch, though the telephoto shoots slightly less warm photos. But oh, what photos they are – combined with the Super Res Zoom introduced in the Pixel 3, zoomed-in photos are much crisper. The phones have a water protection rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529, [7] an improvement from its predecessors water protection rating of IP67. The phones can be submerged in up to 1.5 m of water for up to 30 minutes. [21] Camera [ edit ] a b "Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices". Google Developers. Google Inc .

The effect is incredible, clearly showing planets and stars while also illuminating the foreground, including people. You’ll be able to capture cityscapes and the night sky in one image which - while not perfect - is the best nocturnal phone photography we’ve seen yet. Chokkattu, Julian (October 19, 2018).

The mint-green power button the white Pixel 3 XL is a nice little flourish of colour. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The Guardian To uninstall an app, navigate to the Google Play Store app > Profile icon on the top right > Manage apps & devices > Manage. Once there, find and tap on the app you think is causing the issue. You will want to tap Uninstall to remove it. Anyone who wants the absolute top phone would do better with other Android flagships. The Google Pixel line is about doing the basics best for a little less coin, but it’s still a top-tier phone.

HDR (high dynamic range) is virtually ubiquitous in smartphones now, but sometimes it’s an optional feature you can turn on and off yourself. With the Pixel 3, it’s on all the time, so you don’t need to worry about it.

The Pixel 3 loses some of the received messages. Google said that a fix will be delivered in a future update. [51] Live Caption, first shown off at Google IO 2019, is one of these new perks heading to the previous generation: if you’re playing any video or spoken audio (aside from phone and video calls, per Google), you can tap the screen to bring up the volume slider with a new keyboard button below - tap the latter to activate Live Caption, and voila, the content will have captions. a b c d "Hands on: Google Pixel 3 review".

"Some Users Seeing Multiple Notches On Pixel 3 XL And On Weird Places" . Retrieved October 31, 2018. The Pixel 3 XL is a great smartphone, but unlike last year’s XL offering, it isn’t necessarily the best Google phone – the smaller, cheaper Pixel 3 is in many ways a better phone. The speakers are really quite loud and clear with pretty good stereo separation (although the bottom speaker is louder than the top one) The second is it turns the smartphone into a portrait Google Assistant smart display, a little like the Google Home Hub. When you put the phone on the stand with the screen off it launches Google Assistant mode, which either lights an ambient display with time, date and notifications like normal, with an added Google Assistant box at the bottom, or displays a selection of your Google Photos. Conceivably, controlling your phone with aerial hand movements is novel and a great alternative to touch inputs, especially for disabled users eager for more accessible options.
