Finally, the third time Google launched a Pixel series phone, making this smartphone the most successful of the previous Pixel series. Google Pixel 3 is an amazing device with a good screen, a truly amazing camera, and the best version of Google's Android software.
This is a big jump from Google Pixel 2 and is an appropriate competitor for Android users such as the Samsung Galaxy S9, LG G7 and OnePlus 6T. As we know about Google Pixels. This smartphone puts forward the functional rather than fashionable; durable than beauty.
But Google Pixel 3 is the first to be deemed suitable for being able to compete and compete with the iPhone XS and Samsung Galaxy S9. If we look at it from a distance, and especially when viewed in an image display, Pixel 3 looks like Pixel 2. But if we take it and hold it then you will see the difference.
On the back it looks smooth, because it's built entirely of glass and feels soft to the touch. This smartphone has a very smooth and soft finising and is very comfortable when held.
Instead of just putting the glass on the back, Google turns out to share the appearance of the glass: a sparkling top, with a matte area on the bottom.
I like the matte finish here - most visible in the white and pink versions - because it reduces blemishes and adds a different grip sensation when it is leached from the glass to the metal surface.
This phone is somewhat slippery when held, especially if you have felt or used Pixel or Pixel 2, and with a glass body this means it is less resistant to scratches.
I have seen some problems with Pixel 3 user reports regarding scratches on the back.
With a body model wrapped in glass also allows Google to place wireless Qi charging and help maintain its waterproof rating because it has IP68 certification.
The USB-C port is the only connection here - there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack - and it's flanked by the SIM card tray. Along the right side there are volume buttons and power buttons that are easy to pinch. Going back to another part, you will see the biggest difference between this and Google Pixel 3 XL, which is on the screen.
Besides being smaller (this smartphone has a 5.5 inch screen, and not a 6.3 inch size), Pixel 3 does not have sharp curves on the screen. Instead, this is an 18: 9 panel with a thin border around it than the one in Pixel 2. This makes it feel more modern and much better.
Although it is not a fully edge-to-edge display, because the two front-facing speakers are at the top and bottom of the screen, and there is also a dual selfie camera.
The 5.5 inch screen might sound promising if you have ever had an older Pixel (both have a 5 inch screen) or an iPhone (usually with a 4.7 inch screen) but thanks to the slimmer panel, it feels comfortable when used in one hand and is sufficient small to put in a tight jeans pocket or handbag. I say it's the perfect size for a cellphone.
OLED screens allow pixels to be turned on individually, which means they can be turned off completely to display the perfect black color. This also means you won't use up a lot of battery using the always active screen.
The panel resolution is FHD + (2160 x 1080), which might cause concern for those who are wondering why it isn't upgraded to Quad-HD + (2960 x 1440) like the Samsung Galaxy S9 and LG G7.
To be honest, at this size I struggle to understand the difference between the two resolutions unless I don't care about it and really look for the capabilities of the individual pixels.
This is a very sharp and detailed panel and may be much better at a higher resolution. Google also added HDR support here, with compatible videos on YouTube that look very amazing.
Apparently this phone also supports Netflix HDR streaming too, but this was not available at the time of the trial. Hopefully future updates resolve this problem.
Google will present an accurate representation of the Pixel 3 screen color and there is less saturation in red and green colors than you find on Samsung phones. You can tweak the screen settings a bit on the Boosted, Natural, and Adaptive options.
Using Snapdragon 845, 4GB RAM, and 64GB and also 128GB (in this series it can't be added micro SD). This is the standard spec for superior phones in 2018. 4GB does feel a little less promising when there are more phones with 6 or 8GB, and Snapdragon 845 is likely to be replaced in the coming months by Snapdragon 855 which is rumored to be with 5G support. However, after using Pixel 3 for a long time, I am not worried about its performance.
The audio quality of the front facing stereo speakers is really good. Because the voice is directly intended for you, so it is not covered by the hand when you watch videos and the use of Google Assistant can easily run it.
There is no headphone jack here, although Google does not include a 3.5mm headphone jack adapter but you will be given a pair of very fine USB-C earbuds in the purchase box. These earbuds look very similar to Pixel Buds from last year and they boast some of the same functions. There is Bluetooth 5 support too, if you prefer using wireless headphones.
A feature that is often forgotten on Android phones is haptics: the vibration you get when a message or call comes. The vibrations on Pixel 2 are very weak and what is used on this smartphone is a big improvement.
Google seems to know this and as a result you will get more small haptic responses throughout the OS. There is one time you bring down the notifications panel and another when you flick through the application. With many other cellphones switching to the Face Unlock system, it seems rather strange that Google is holding fast with fingerprint authentication.
Google Pixel 3 runs Android 9 Pie with the Pixel theme at the top, and this is the best software experience on any Android phone. There are certainly several features; battery saving mode and can be customized into a fantastic experience.
A clean and simple UI; fast to navigate. There are important Google applications pre-installed and nothing else. As users of Google services, the way they work and synchronize are no less fantastic. Google Photos remains the single best way to back up and save files, this phone offers unlimited full resolution uploads to the cloud.
If you want a smartphone that is maximized for taking photos, you will very much want to consider Google Pixel 3. Even after taking hundreds of photos with this phone, I am always surprised by the quality, dynamic range, and how to capture stunning and really easy shots.
If you have used Pixel phones before, none of this is too surprising. The majority that make this camera so special are Google's software - computational knowledge, automatic HDR features, and the Visual Pixel Core. If you only see specifications, you might lose the point.
Behind Google Pixel 3 is a 12.2 megapixel sensor, with f / 1.8 aperture. There is no secondary sensor here at all, with all portrait modes handled by the main camera. At the front there are two cameras, both 8 megapixel sensors, with one camera acting as a wide angle camera.
The pictures that I captured with this phone are simple and amazing. Food shots are so full of details, you can see salt spots; pictures of people's faces showing intricate details on hair and skin that are sometimes beyond what my eyes can see.
Although the details are packaged in these photos, nothing looks artificial or too shadowed and the colors have a natural finishing touch. Where the Samsung Galaxy S9 or even the iPhone XS increases red and green to almost neon levels, Pixel 3 manages to make sure the colors look attractive without being too saturated.
The dynamic range (the range between light and dark colors) has been the strength of previous Pixel phones and again this is truly impressive here. This gives real depth photos and a professional touch, ensuring nothing looks flat.
Introduced with Pixel 2, Portrait Mode is back here. Most cameras that do this well require two sensors, but Pixel 3 manages only with one. This is the best and most reliable portrait mode I have ever used: straightening the background bluntly and keeping the subject in sharp focus.
Although we have to really struggle to produce the best photo engle, but we can do the job very well and perfectly. You can also change the intensity of the blur after the photo is taken. In Pixel 3, Google introduced several new camera software features. One of them is Night Sight, a special low-light mode that seems to greatly increase brightness similar to the Huawei P20 Pro.
Unfortunately this feature is not yet present, so I will add my thoughts about how successful this feature will be after the update arrives. Even though Night Shot might not be available yet, Pixel 3 still takes excellent low-light photos. You will get a black sky and strong detail. The lights are not too bright and almost no noise. This is very impressive.
Zoom Super Res is another new feature and that looks to compensate for the lack of a slightly enlarged secondary sensor. In the camera application you will see four different zoom points that you can jump over quickly, and Google combines several shots together to try and increase digital zoom that is not very good.
I must say the results are better than other digital zoom iterations, but for me it still does not fit into a special zoom lens. Top Shot is another new feature and aims to ensure photos are not damaged by accidentally moving objects or someone who accidentally blinks.
Every time you take one photo, the camera captures several shots and by swiping a particular image, you can scroll through it all. This works really well and is really useful when you don't have a lot of time to prepare your shots properly.
It's not only the back camera that takes stunning photos. Two 8 megapixel sensors facing forward can take some of the best selfies I've ever seen, with beautiful realistic skin tones and no damaging beautifying effects like on the iPhone XS.
In fact, some of the photos I took were so detailed that I picked up a color in facial hair that I could not see with my own eyes. Drag the zoom bar down in selfie mode and you will switch to the ultrawide f / 2.2 secondary camera. It does not have auto focus, but allows you to cram more into your shots.
I like the ability to focus on the subject or zoom in and get more catches. Video recording is also impressive, although it doesn't yet support 4K at 60fps. The stabilization when running Pixel 3 is very good and provides a very shake-free display recording.
One of the biggest reasons to buy a 'big' phone is better battery life. Having a device that is naturally larger means that there is more room to stick to a fairly large battery cell. Like the Huawei P20 Pro, for example, has 4000mAh, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. In comparison, the 2900 mAh battery tucked inside Google Pixel 3 seems, well, to be less than optimal.
Just as if we only looked at specifications, just seeing the size of the battery didn't tell the whole story. With its 1080p screen at 5.5 inches, Pixel 3 doesn't use a lot of battery power in regular tasks like some of its larger rivals in battery size or compare it to something with a similar sized screen, like the Samsung Galaxy S9, you will see a more comparable battery size.
What I will say is that if you want a phone that is comfortable to last a day then you have to buy a larger Pixel 3 XL. I do still have anxiety about batteries with Pixel 3, and when it gets me through the day, it's less reliable.
Streaming one hour of video on Netflix takes between 11-13%, with around 30 minutes Asphalt 8 lowering the battery by about 10%. This is a result similar to the iPhone XS and slightly better than Pixel 2 that I used for comparison.
Wireless charging made the Pixel debut here and I think now should be a requirement on high-end phones. This is very useful because it can only place the phone on the pad and charge it.
Along with Pixel 3, Google sells Pixel Stand, a slick vertical charging pad that not only charges Pixel 3 wirelessly at 10w (iPhone XS, for example, can only charge wirelessly at 7.5w) but allows some smart features too .
You could say installing Pixel 3 into the Pixel Stand makes it look like the Google Home Hub: it can give alarms in the morning, make time more visible and there is a nice alarm feature that will try and wake you up slowly through the bright colors on the screen.
