Google Pixel 3 XL Specs Video (Real World Review) By Real World Review

Over, the last couple of weeks I've been using the Google Pixel 3 excel. As my main phone today, I decided to talk about the specifications of the phone and review them to let people know if it is worth buying. This is a pixel three XL specs video, hello, everybody. My name is Matt, and this is real world review. What I'm going to do is go over the specs of the phone and at the end, I will score the phone based on my personal experiences as a user and cell phone repairman. If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section or on Twitter at Matt of our table, your let's get started to start.

Our first category is the outside hardware. Let's start with the display, the display is a six point. Three inches notched OLED screen with a resolution of 1440 by 2960 totaling 523 pixels per inch. The screen is kind of bright at 400 nits. The front has a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 display making the front scratch resistant.

The screen to body ratio is about 83%, which is kind of impressive. The screen ratio is 18 point 5 by 9, just like the Galaxy Note 9. Let's talk about the rest of the front. We start at the top. Where that your piece and sensors are, there is a speaker grille, looking thing that covers the top loudspeaker and one of the three microphones above that, or the proximity and ambient light sensors to the left of that is a wide-angle sensor.

While the standard sensor is on the right, both of these sensors are 8 megapixels on the bottom portion. There is a second loudspeaker which means that this phone does have stereo speakers on the front. This area also houses. The second microphone moving on to the frame on the bottom is a USB 3.1 port in a SIM card tray on the right side. There are the connected volume buttons in the small power button.

On the left side, there is nothing at all and on the top, there is a simple hole for the last microphone on. The back of the device is a 12 point. Two megapixel sensor to the right of that is a spectral and flicker sensor and to the right of that is a dual LED flash unit under that is the fingerprint scanner around. All of that is a glass back that is frosted on the bottom half just like the fingerprint scanner. As for the size of the device, is 158 millimeters tall.

Seventy-six point, seven millimeters wide and seven point nine millimeters, thick or six point. Two inches tall three point: zero two inches wide and point three one inches thick. As for the weight, the pixel 3 XL is 100, 84 grams or 6.49 ounces. The phone is water-resistant, and it does not have a user removable battery or back, and now we move on to the cameras. There is a 12 point, two megapixel sensor on the back of the phone.

There is also a dual LED flash unit. Along with a spectral and flicker sensor. The aperture is F 1.8 and the sensor is optically stabilized. The phone supports different camera features like photosphere panorama, Google Lens in portrait mode, the rear camera can record video in a couple of ways. You can record 4k at 30 frames per second 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per second 720p at 30 or 60 frames per second in slow-motion.

Video can be captured at 1080p at 120 frames for a second or 720p at 240 frames per second. The front cameras are both 8 megapixel sensors, with one being a wide-angle sensor and the other being a standard lens. The aperture is f 2.2 and 1.8 respectively. They allow for a max of 1080p recording at 30 frames per second. The next category is the inside hardware.

As usual, we start with the processor. The processor in this phone is a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip. It is a 10 nanometer, outscore processor, with 4 cores running at 2.5 gigahertz in 4 cores running at 1.9. Gigahertz Geek bench gives the phone a score of around 2354 for the single core in 8000 344, the multi-core test. The GPU is an Arena 630 that runs at 710 megahertz.

When testing the GPU Geek bench gives a score of about 13,000 430. The phone has 4 gigabytes of lpddr4 X RAM, which I was not too happy about the model. I'm reviewing is a G 0, 1 3 C, and it is Verizon based. However, it works fine with other companies, just like the pixel 2 did the phone supports, 1g, 2g, 3G and 4G, assuming that the market you're in still supports those along with LTE bands, 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30 to 38 39, 40, 41, 42, 46, 66 and 71. As for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi chip is the 802 dot, 1 1 a beach and AC dual-band in the mm 5.0. This phone also supports NFC, Galileo and GLASS.

The batteries of 3430 William lithium-ion cell that are supposed to last all day. Google doesn't have any benchmarks for this battery, but it is capable of lasting an entire day with medium usage. The phone does support power delivery, which should fully charge your phone in less than two hours. This phone also supports fast wireless charging. The phone comes out of the box with Android Pi 9.0 and will receive three years of updates. According to Google, the phone supports a few audio formats like mp3, WAV and ACC.

As for video playback, the phone supports a few formats like mp4 and h.264. Now that we have gone over the specs of the phone it's time to give this phone a score. Note that this phone comes with 64 gigabytes and keep your purchase new for eight hundred and ninety-nine dollars, it can also be purchased in the 128 gigabyte format. It should also be noted that this phone is a month old and most people will want to buy this phone new and the scoring does account for that. Let's start with the frame the phone is made out of glass and metal.

The front is glass as well as the back of the phone. The screen has a notch cut out of it for the cameras in the earpiece setup, but that's ok. This is because the bottom of the screen has a second front facing speaker, there's a little secondary frame that the screen sits on and under. That is a shiny, aluminum bezel. As for the frame itself, it does move a little when bending, but overall it's a solid design behind.

That is the all glass back. The interesting thing is that the pixel design continues even with the glass back most of it has a frosted section, with the corners rounded, to resemble the past pixel devices. The interesting thing is that the fingerprint scanner is also frosted. Maybe a central should ask Google how they did that the camera sensor does protrude, but should break just as often as a pixel to camera lens does, which isn't that common? This is a very large phone, and obviously it's really similar to the pixel 2 XL. The screen itself has an 18 point: 5 by 9 ratio, just like other Samsung, Galaxy phones, the power button and the volume buttons are placed appropriately on the right side of the phone and aren't difficult to push at all.

Overall I would say even with the frosted back. This phone is very slippery. I would highly recommend a case or skin of some sort. At the least speaking of the frame, the phone does have active edges which are activated very easily when you're trying to hold on to this phone. You can also activate it by adding some pressure on to the screen whether the phone is in your hands or on a table.

It's a little weird. Oh, it does is activate the Google Assistant and silences noises when they happen. As for the fingerprint scanner, this seems to be the perfect place, given the size of the phone. I love the design of the pixel to XL, and this year's pixel isn't that bad, but the notch is killer. It didn't really affect my day-to-day usage, but it was just placed awkwardly I.

Don't really have too many complaints about the exterior of the phone, so I will give the outside Hardware in 8.2 five out of ten next is the screen. The screen is a six point. Three inch notched OLED display at 1440p, like I, said before the screen has an eighteen point: five by nine ratio, which is what Samsung uses on their Galaxy phones. This shouldn't be much of a surprise, because Samsung actually makes this screen OLED screens to me are what makes the pixel phones, pixel phones, so I'm happy to see that this type of screen stays, but that notch needs to go personally. I would have been fine with the six-inch screen from the pixel to XL, or maybe a better implementation of the notch soft over wise, but with stock Android.

It kind of makes sense why they didn't really do too much with it. I was honestly surprised to see that the screen has a max of 400 nits, because it seemed a lot brighter than that, not to mention that Samsung is capable of making much brighter screens than this. One I didn't really have any issues with the brightness, though. As for the image itself, it looks amazing as usual. Actually now that I think about it, the screen is very close to being a perfect screen.

Overall, as for the screen, category, I would say that it deserves an 8.5 out of 10. Next is the inside hardware. The snapdragon 845 processors is still the best that you can get with talks of the snapdragon 855 processor brewing. Of course, there's no issue with the performance, given that the OS was made to work perfectly with this processor, the 3,430 William battery sounds very specific and it kind of is it's able to get you through the day and that's about it. A removable battery would help this phone out, but it isn't a huge issue to me, the dual speaker setup kind of sucks, because it sounds like the speaker's already blown.

It also sounds kind of muffled which maybe, as the top speaker is smaller than the bottom speaker, but still the pixel two speakers were louder and clearer than the pixel 3xl. So I'm a little disappointed by this, like the pixel 2xl, the headset jack is still gone, requiring you to use an adapter with a DAC built in or else the phone will tell you something like this, which could get annoying. The phone comes with 64, gigabytes or 128 gigabytes built in and that's it there's no expansion slots, except for, if you count the USB-C ports OTG support the phone gets warm after a few minutes of usage which may be concerning. For some, the phone is water-resistant, just like the pixel 2 XL. What the pixel 3 XL has and the pixel 2 XL doesn't have is a bigger glass back along with wireless charging.

Yes, that includes fast wireless charging. The RAM solution is weird with 4 gigabytes of RAM. There were many times when the background apps would close after not being used for a couple of minutes. Sure the apps take very little time to open up, but the point is that they close rather than staying open, so maybe Google should add more RAM on their next film. Overall, this phone gets a 7 point, 7 5 out of 10 for the inset hardware.

Next is the camera, of course, you're. Thinking about the cameras on the pixel 3 XL are going to be amazing, and I'm here to tell you that that is absolutely true. HDR can be toggled off, but it seems to capture the images properly and gives you some amazing shots. Really. There are many software features that make this camera shine, but some of them aren't that useful.

The super resume is alright. In most cases, it still looks like a digital zoom which it is, but it is supposed to look a little better than other phones and I. Don't know, I can kind of see it, but it's not that big of a deal I wouldn't recommend going past the 2 times zoom. The manual focus will stay with whatever you touch on the screen, which is pretty useful. Top shot is activated when you have motion shot on and allows you to choose from a bunch of shots to show you which one is the best.

Just in case you took the shot too early or too late. It's essentially burst mode, but better nitrite is a feature that Google delayed until I started. This review pretty much it's a night mode, but a perfect one at that. Photosphere is a fun 360-degree camera, but it mainly works in stable situations. Also, at night.

The just come out looking very grainy photo booth is a feature that takes pictures when you smile pointless to me, but better playground is a VR camera mode again pointless to me but useful. The same lens is Google Lens, which I found to be useful for identifying items. Sometimes the front camera setup has a wide angle in a standard lens which both worked well, but the wide-angle lens gives off a little fish. I look on the edges. Also, the standard lens is focusable, which is pretty cool.

Portrait mode is amazing, as usual, whether we're talking about the back or the front cameras, it's kind of crazy video recording is annoying because one there is no option for 4k 60 frames per second video and 2. You cannot select 60 frames per second video manually. The phone allows for auto frames per second changing in 30 frames per second video, which for me, is frustrating I. Don't know why that this is the thing other than possibly to save space, but still regardless, the videos come out. Looking amazing and smooth to be honest picture quality is very similar to the pixel 2 and the main conversation of these cameras are the software parts of it and the face on the front I mean the dual front.

Cameras overall I would say that the cameras get a solid 9 out of 10. Next is a software. The phone has stock Android, just like any other Google made phones sure there are some extras added into this phone, but overall its stock Android 9.0 Pi. For me, the always-on display in double tapped awake are some of my favorite things with the always-on display. There is a decent amount of information like the weather battery percentage, time and date.

One thing that is kind of weird is when you set the brightness low, and you turn the screen off from the lock screen. The screen gets bright and then dims kind of weird and annoying when you're in the dark area. But it's nothing that a software update, can't fix double tap to wake. Is nice and makes looking at the notifications easier, using the fingerprint scanner on the back to open up the notification bar is perfect because the large screen makes it difficult to access it. Sometimes, with this said, the swiping does take some getting used to with Android Pi you get the new multitasking launcher, but this time you're forced into it.

You cannot revert to the old style, which I find kind of weird I mean eventually people will get used to it, but still it's really awkward to use so to get directly to apps. You have to swipe all the way up, or else you'll go back into multitasking. It takes some getting used to especially one on most phones. You barely have to swipe up to access your apps. As for the multitasking, it isn't that bad all you have to do is swipe up or swipe over to the right, and then you can go back to previous apps.

Really most of the software improvements that Google put into this phone went into the camera. There is another app called digital well-being and it, oddly enough, is in beta right now. What this does are pretty much tells you how you're using your phone and gives you a few options to help keep your phone usage down. I! Guess, I, really, don't know why Google put this in here other than the follow. What Apple did will screen time, but I mean I, guess it's kind of cool.

It gives you options like setting timers for apps to let you know how long you've been using that app. Along with showing how many notifications you received from the app that day, there is a wind down feature which activates do not disturb along with a grayscale for, however long you want it to be set. I believe that this feature is supposed to trigger you into realizing what time it is, but either way I left this feature off. Another thing is the improvement to the Google Assistant, but I'll talk about that in the basics, video the software never gets put into the scoring, but it'll get a decent nine out of ten. The last score is the future-proofing score.

The phone is new, so it's hard to say how well this phone will hold up moving forward, but so far it's not looking that good. There have been some complaints about the screen showing a pink line which makes sense because Samsung does make the screen. Still. This isn't a good thing. The phone has fast wireless charging, water resistance and a solid build, but the battery is not removable.

The battery lasts throughout the day sure, but the only issue is whether the battery will hold up in the future. The speaker system is kind of weak and will get worse over time, but maybe that'll force you to use the headset jack more often, oh yeah, that's right! You have to make sure that you keep the adapter with you. If you do plan on doing this. Speaking of that port, it's a USB, 3.1 port, which makes it perfect for the future I wish Google would put a newer processor in this phone, like they did with the original pixel, but the snapdragon 845 in this phone works perfectly. The four gigabytes of RAM, however, isn't anything crazy with this said it can be easy for Google to optimize, newer software to work better with Ram phones.

The single camera setup is nice, but it does lack a rear, wide-angle or telephoto lens. It's not needed, but with all these new phones coming out with a bunch of sensors, you would think that Google would add another sensor to the back. Instead, they added a wide-angle lens to the front. Oh, well. Overall.

I would say that this phone is future-proof and gets an eight point. Two five out of ten add up the scores and the phone gets a forty-one point: seven five out of fifty or eighty-three point: five percent I love these pixel phones, especially the Excel ones, sure the notch is killer, but it's easy to get used to. The price is kind of steep, especially considering that this phone lacks a 256, gigabyte or higher version, but it is cheaper than the iPhone 10s max the front speakers aren't as good as I would like them to be, but I guess you can't always get the perfect phone and that's it. Let me know what else you want me to review in the comment section below or on Twitter at Matt of RR, and I have a question for you: should we move toward bigger notches or smaller notches? Let me know and feel free to follow me on.
