Google Pixel 3 XL First Impressions: Looks Destined For Greatness

The smartphone, which probably robbed those at Google of sleep more than than any other, is finally official. Google today launched the Pixel 3 and the Pixel three Forty and the event wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be; despite Google'southward last-ditch efforts to brand it sound like it had a few surprises up its sleeves.

All those leaks should accept killed our excitement just the Google Pixel 3 XL is still one of the most interesting phones y'all will use this twelvemonth. This is because of how much Google'southward software abilities take grown in the past year. On the hardware front likewise, at that place are some observable chances – non least that notch.

While the Pixel three lineup comes to Bharat on November 1, we were lucky enough to get the Pixel iii Xl from Google. We only had a few hours to utilize it before Google actually unveiled Pixel phones, and I'm in awe of a lot of things while non necessarily liking certain other aspects almost this phone. Do note that this is merely a snapshot opinion – what I thought after just using this phone for a few hours. It's not even shut to a full review, so it's non the last give-and-take. Then, here's what I feel about think about the Pixel three Forty.

Pattern & Build

From the very moment of lifting in the hand, the Pixel 3 XL feels nil short of a piece of art – post-modern, albeit. Information technology surely feels premium with the soft and silky material on the back which mixed with glass results in a satisfying experience. Google says that it designed a special etching procedure to keep the two surface perfectly aligned.

Information technology's unmistakably a Google Pixel, merely built for 2018

On the front is a 6.3-inch QHD+ console, widely criticized for its notch. But at the event, Google said that the notch is wider considering the display has been stretched all the way upwards to the top edge to give users more than screen area. That'south not very convincing reasoning for me, but we'll meet in our review almost how much departure information technology really makes.

Cheers to the much larger screen-to-body ratio, the Pixel 3 XL feels much more comfortable to hold in the hand compared to the Pixel 2 Xl.

This twelvemonth, Google has gone with rounded edges compared to the apartment sides of the Pixel 2 Forty. The polished aluminum looks and feels like ceramic.

Google Pixel finally Has IP68 rating

The overall placement of buttons is like to last year's Pixel and I plant myself hitting the book rocker instead of the power button very often. This should exist resolved with a little more practice and is not troubling in the slightest. The Google Pixel 3 finally has IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, so you can accept it for a brief swim, or give it a rinse now and so.

Display

The Pixel iii XL's display has been controversial e'er since it leaked out commencement. The half dozen.3-inch brandish has a native resolution of 2960 10 1440 pixels which results in a pixel density of 523ppi.

Google too seems to have improved upon the color reproduction of the flexible P-OLED display which now seems to exist very well-baked, and lacks the blue shifting that plagues the display on the Pixel two Forty. Nosotros volition of course be testing the display in various conditions in the adjacent few days, merely for now it looks very skillful indeed.

The display does stretch up to the upper edge , as mentioned by Google, but bezels can even so exist seen. The mentum at the bottom adds to the incongruous look, considering it strips the phone of any symmetry. It's an odd expect for sure. Nosotros'll just have to get used to it for at present.

Cameras

The cameras on the Pixel 3 XL were always going to be the focal signal, just similar earlier generations. Despite the general industry trend, the Pixel three XL sticks to a unmarried shooter on the back. But don't be fooled, it is among the all-time smartphone cameras in the earth – and supposedly even better than the iPhone XS.

The 12.2MP rear camera is joined by a pair of cameras on the front, both of which are 8MP. In dissimilarity to what was originally thought to be for some kind of face unlock, the second photographic camera on the front is actually used for super broad-angle selfies,which supposedly fits 184% more than what the iPhone XS does, and much more than whatever other smartphone photographic camera. The chief sensor on the front also has auto-focus.

There is a slew of special AI-driven features and modes that Google spent several minutes talking about. The foremost is HDR+ which captures a series of images and then superimposes them to increase the overall dynamic range of the image. This is what Pixel users have become used to and Google said it had improved work on this even more than and Portrait mode photos in item volition be better on the Pixel three.

The Pixel 3 volition also become Top Shot which uses machine learning to let you capture the right moment perfectly, by clicking a series of shots instead of one and so letting you lot choose the best ane. This features especially lets you avoid photos where people have their eyes closed and limits the chances of y'all getting photobombed by others with multiple options.

Google has also improved the portrait mode and now yous'll exist able to edit the amount of groundwork blurring even after clicking the picture. You can even choose to mistiness the subject and go along the background in focus, or do a 'Color Pop' effect to turn the groundwork into monochrome.

Google has added features like image stabilization not just for the video but also in prototype capturing on the Pixel iii XL. Equally a result y'all get Super Res Zoom which eliminates the typical shakiness in images when you lot zoom in. The photographic camera app also has the Photobooth mode, using which you can substantially click pictures by just smiling.

Additionally, there are quirky additions like the Playground feature which lets you add together AR characters and objects directly from the camera. For now, the available characters are limited to Iron Man from the Marvel Studios also every bit a handful common ones from the Star Wars universe, likewise some other generic characters.

After a limited time with the photographic camera, we've come to like what nosotros see. The fast epitome processing and additional features similar Top Shot and the almost invincible portrait style make the Pixel 3 just as compelling as its predecessor.

Hardware & Software

Google didn't think it was crucial to talk about the internals of the Pixel 3 – probably because of all those pesky leaks ruining the surprise. If you're still intrigued about how the smartphone fares on the spec sheet, let me tell you that it has the nearly powerful processor for Android phones, theQualcomm Snapdragon 845, forth with 4GB of RAM.

In terms of storage, you get either 64GB or 128GB, neither of which is expandable. The Pixel 3 Forty have support for the new Pixel Stand which not just charges it wirelessly, but also transforms it into somewhat of a smart display.
