Google Pixel 3 XL Review

Google Pixel 3 XL is one of the latest android phone offerings from Google. Today, let us review this phone and check out if this is a great new Smartphone for the coming year. Find out more in the following.

Google Pixel 3 XL Speakers and Display 9/10

There is nothing to complain about the display of the Google Pixel 3 XL because it is still the same clear and bright screen that you love about your Smartphone.

The screen features a clear and sharp resolution at 2,960 x 1,440, allowing you to check on and read on the screen even under bright sunlight.   This phone also has vibrant and nice colors, which you can easily adjust based on saturation in the settings.   Its screen also boasts deep black levels, helping to even out the color even more.

Regarding the speakers, this phone has dual front facing speakers on its front.   You will notice that it is quite louder than the older model is, so it turned out that Google has kept its promise that this would be 40% louder.   With the great speakers and screen, you will enjoy your viewing experience even more.

Google Pixel 3 XL Design 8/10

This new phone almost has the same features like its predecessor Pixel 3. It only means that you can keep the same things you love about the older models if you already have them.   On the other hand, this latest offering has a larger screen from 5.5 of the older version to the 6.3 inches of this one, offering more spaces for pixels.

The larger phone also requires a larger battery. One thing that many people dislike about the Google Pixel 3 XL is its botched notch on the top front of the phone.

Google has gone a bit too far by using a wide-angle lens in the design. And while the manufacturer has done a great job in using a higher end design on this one, it still fails to be as pretty impressive as the iPhone XS.

On a good note, there is a good fingerprint sensor on the back of Google Pixel 3 XL that you can easily swipe up and down in order to access the notification shade quickly.

Google Pixel 3 XL Software 9/10

You will love the artificial intelligence features of the phone, which is running on 9 Pie, an excellent version on the OS’ look. It also adds the smart rotate button, preventing auto screen rotations.

Overall, you will love the software feel and experience of Pixel 3, which is also rich in overall interface on the small touches.

Google Pixel 3 XL Performance 9/10

Using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor plus 4GB (RAM), Google Pixel 3 XL is a pretty good choice when it comes to its processor when compared to other phones on the market at the same price range.

The Google Pixel 3 XL app also opens quickly, so you won’t have any problem switching from one to another. However, you won’t find any MicroSD slot on this phone, but then you have the option to use an internal storage of up to 128 GB.
