Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 - Full phone specifications
Aside from this there is no immediate advantage to having two lenses – and you get them both on the regular Pixel 3 without the notch, if the notch bothers you. You may need to click through to view the below gallery: Another slice of Pie Older Pixels and the Sony Xperia XZ3 already have Android 9 Pie but of course the Pixel 3 XL ships with it installed. Google makes you use the gesture-based navigation system as default and it does take a bit of getting used to after years with Android’s three navigation buttons. You can’t revert back to the familiar three navigation buttons, so Google is all in on this system. But it’s easy enough to get used, if not as beautifully intuitive as Apple’s gestures on the iPhone X series. A feature that is built-in that until now has only been available as beta versions on older Pixels is Digital Wellbeing. This is the ability to set app limits to help you use certain services less, and to actually spend time away from your phone rather than use it more.
You can set app timers so you’re only on Instagram, say, for 15 minutes a day. It makes you more aware of how much time you waste on your phone but it’s pretty easy to override and keep scrolling. Google made a big deal at launch about how the software ecosystem continues to improve over time. This is in the cloud-based services such as Google Translate but of course other phones can run Google apps and services. It’s true that on the 3 XL though, it’s most closely intertwined in the OS given it’s a Google phone.

This is evident with the excellent Pixel Stand, a £69/$79 accessory that pairs exclusively with your Pixel to become a mini smart display. It wirelessly charges the phone and can act as a digital photo stand but it’s most useful as a Google Home Mini style device. It’s a worthwhile purchase on top of the phone.

Google also said that Pixels would be the first to get the Duplex feature it teased earlier in the year that can call businesses for you to book restaurants and the like. A clever call screening feature is currently US-only and even then, initially only in six cities. But it’s a great way to ward off cold callers and unwanted calls as Google speaks to the caller and their reply appears live as text on your screen. It’ll put them off calling again and means you don’t have to deal with it. We weren’t able to test this in the UK, though.
Verdict The third Pixel generation is the best yet and if you don’t mind spending more and getting a notch then the Pixel 3 XL has a bigger screen and bigger battery than the regular version. You’ll get Google’s best, most premium and refined phone to date. The camera is utterly astonishing and the best on a smartphone – though not as good as an actual DSLR. The software is excellently optimised for the hardware and works seamlessly, which we can’t say for non-Google Android phones.
The etched glass back is lovely and it’s simply a piece of hardware that’s a pleasure to use. At launch, this is the best Android phone you can buy with the best camera on a phone. Not bad, Google. ONDECEMBER 7 "PIXEL 3 REVIEW: UNEXCITINGLY EXCELLENT" Pixel 3 Review: Unexcitingly Excellent Possibly one of the most leaked smartphones of all time is here, so it might not come as a surprise but Google’s latest flagship handsets are official. Tech Advisor attended the London launch and we’ve spent solid time with the Pixel 3 since so here’s our full review. It’s a shame that almost nothing about the 2018 Pixel phones was a secret, making the big launch a bit of an anti-climax.
However, most were for the larger Pixel 3 XL model and Google did announce some other devices including the Google Home Hub and, quietly, the Chromecast 3.
