ONDECEMBER 4 "GOOGLE PIXEL 3 XL REVIEW: A GREAT CAMERA" Google Pixel 3 XL review: A great camera What is the Google Pixel 3 XL? The Google Pixel 3 XL was one of the most leaked phones ever. There was little we hadn’t already seen when Google finally announced its 2018 flagship. It also happens that the device itself is quite predictable. It packs clean software, a stunning camera and a much improved overall design.
It also features the most intrusive notch I have seen in any phone yet. This notch makes the ones on the iPhone XS and Huawei Mate 20 Pro look positively tiny. Still, get over the notch – along with the software oddities that come with it – and you’ll find a phone with the best camera on the market. Looking for the smaller Pixel 3? Read our Google Pixel 3 review. Google Pixel 3 XL price Google Pixel 3 XL prices start from £869 for the 64GB model and £969 for the 128GB version.

Google Pixel 3 XL – Design I’ll start with that notch, because it’s really the first thing that catches your eye. I’ve got nothing against notches in general, but the size of the one used here feels a step too far. It droops down noticeably more than an iPhone XS Max and as a result impacts on the content a lot. Give it a couple of hours, though, and the notch becomes much less obvious when you’re actually doing stuff. I’m not saying you’ll forget all about it, but in general day-to-day phone use I’m not constantly thinking ‘why is this notch here’. Of course, the notch is here because of the bigger display, which runs a lot closer to the edge than before. Approaching the design like this means the front cameras – of which there are two here – and speaker need somewhere to sit – and that’s where the notch comes in. It’s a necessary evil for a phone like this.

The back of the Pixel 3 XL is now constructed completely from glass, rather than the mixture of glass and metal Google has utilised before. It makes the phone feel softer and more rounded to hold, plus it allows for Qi wireless charging. However, after using the phone for a week, the back is already starting to pick up marks and scratches.

I’ve seen other users, specifically those with the black version of Pixel 3 XL, with lots of scratches and the same thing seems to be happening with my white review model. The display has also picked up lots of micro-abrasions. With that in mind, I’d suggest picking up a screen-protector and a case to go along with your Pixel 3 XL. A USB-C port is the single connection here – there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack – and that’s flanked by a SIM card tray on the bottom.
Along the right-hand side there’s a volume rocker and power button that, on my white version, has a contrasting greeny/mint colour. This pop of colour is a nice contrast and really catches the eye. Google Pixel 3 XL – Screen As good as the Google Pixel 2 XL was, it was severely hampered by a pretty awful display. The LG OLED display used last year received much criticism due to terrible colours and harsh blue shift when it was tilted.
A few software updates from Google helped boost the colours somewhat, but the damage was already done. Thankfully there are no such issues with the 6.3-inch OLED panel here. In fact, I would happily put this alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone XS Max as one of the best mobile displays out there.
It packs a 2960 x 1440 (Quad-HD+) panel, full support for HDR playback (currently limited to YouTube, but Netflix should be coming soon) and can be tweaked in a number of ways thanks to three screen modes. Where the Pixel 2 XL suffered with dull colours and terrible viewing angles, the Pixel 3 XL pops with contrast and just the right amount of saturation in brighter colours like red and green.
