Google Pixel 3 XL Review: A Polished Camera and Software Experience make up for the Notch [Part 1]
This is our review of the Google Pixel 3 XL and its wireless charging accessory, the Pixel Stand. For part 1, we focus on the camera, software, and design.
Speed, Simplicity, and Security. These 3 words have been used to describe Google's Chrome OS—its desktop/laptop operating system built on the Linux kernel—since it was first introduced. But I would argue that Google's Pixel line of Android smartphones also embodies the three S's in Chrome OS' motto. Google's approach with the Pixel line is wildly different when compared to most Android device makers. Instead of packing every software feature imaginable along with every possible sensor, Google focuses on bringing the best camera performance with the least effort required from the user. Each new iteration of Pixel phone also brings a few new non-camera software features to the table as well as many under-the-hood performance and security enhancements, and the end result is a smartphone with the best of Google software. The Google Pixel 3 XL smartphone has a ton of new Google Camera features and a clean Android Pie interface with some useful additions, but it also has the controversial display notch.
The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are official with Wireless Charging support, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, and Android Pie
The Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL have been announced. Here's the information you need on their specifications, features, pricing, and availability.
We've seen the Google Pixel 3 leak on the XDA forums (twice), on Reddit, in a cab, in a train, in a Chinese shop, on the Russian black market, but finally, we get to see the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL for ourselves. Today, Google officially unveiled their latest Pixel flagship smartphones along with a wireless charging dock called the Pixel Stand. Although the many leaks have stolen much of Google's thunder, today's Made By Google event finally puts the rest the endless speculation about the two devices. Here's everything you need to know about the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL: Google's pair of powerhouse flagship smartphones with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, wireless charging support, a top-tier camera, the latest version of Android Pie, and yes, a notch (on the XL.)
Here's everything we know about the Google Pixel 3 XL
Everything we know about the Google Pixel 3 XL from its specifications and features to real-life pictures, renders, unboxing videos, and full reviews.
It's been a crazy week for fans of the Google Pixel smartphone line. After a steady trickle of leaks in the first half of the year originating mainly from industry sources, we've now had three separate instances of the Google Pixel 3 XL appearing in public. The first and second leaks originated on our very own forums, and while they revealed the new design and some of the basic hardware specifications, the leakers were unable to share further details because the devices weren't functional. This month, however, several bloggers and YouTubers, mainly from the Ukraine and Russia, got their hands on stolen pre-production Pixel 3 XL units. We've seen a full unboxing video, AnTuTu benchmark rundown, sample photos, and even full reviews. Given how many Pixel 3 XLs are now out in the wild, we haven't even scratched the surface of how many leaks we'll be getting ahead of the device's expected October launch. To help you wrap your head around the plethora of leaks we've seen, here's a summary of everything we know so far about the Google Pixel 3 XL.
Google Pixel 2's Pixel Visual Core Now Enhances Photos in Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp
The Google Pixel 2's Pixel Visual Core, which hardware-accelerates HDR+ and other camera features, now works in apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp. It's also open to third-party developers.
Google is ahead of the game when it comes to camera technologies. The Pixel 2 boasts one of the best (if not the best) cameras of any smartphone released in 2017, and that's largely thanks to software. We've been covering the Android developer community's efforts to port the Google Camera to other devices, and for phones like the Essential Phone, it's improved photo quality by leaps and bounds.
