Unboxing Every Google Pixel 3 XL + Pixel 3 By Unbox Therapy

Oh, my goodness, would you look at that? We have the brand-new Google Pixel three and three XL in the house. Not just these two. Actually, every single color variation of each model is here as well for us to check out doing unboxing, video initial impressions and so on. This is obviously a very highly anticipated device. Many people in the tech space in the tech community couldn't understand, couldn't believe what was going on with the camera. In the previous version, this one claims to be the next level right, the new one.

It's got to be better. Hopefully it's better we're going to find out. I have the three XL in a color called, not pink, it's not pink, don't call it pink. That's the name of that color right there. This one is clearly white.

Of course, you can also pick it up in something called just black. These are both 64 gigabyte versions, though they will be available also in 128 gigabytes, the display on the pixel 3 OLED. In fact, OLED on both on the 3. It will be a notch list display at 5.5 inches on the 3x L. It will go up to 6 point 3 inches with a notch, and something crazy about both of these is that they have two forward facing cameras that are inside that notch and stereo speaker.

So it's a different type of implementation of the notch in the three AFCEL giving you a wide-angle selfie capability and stereo speakers which I'm excited to check out. Ok, let's start with the three XL sense for the color there, it's a subtle hue. They brought back some wireless charging. Finally, on a Google device, we have wireless charging. This is actually glass in the back.

It's like a matte finished glass, so this will work with QI wireless chargers or in fact, also an official accessory here, a wireless charge dock which actually has some special functionality. I'll show you in a minute a speaker grill up in the top, as well as at the bottom stereo front-facing speakers. This, of course, is a rarity in the smartphone space amongst flagships and other devices as well up here you can see those two front-facing cameras which I mentioned earlier: one wide-angle and one standard fingerprint scanner is in a familiar location. Over here, where your index finger will sit that single lens system capable of some incredible computational photography is up in this spot right here now the frame itself is made of aluminum, so pretty much. The whole construction is either aluminum or glass, though I do like the fact that the glass back is matte.

It's resistant somewhat to fingerprints and smudging. You have USB type-c. There's your SIM card tray accent, color on your power switch. There is a green accent color on the clearly white version, a charge brick which, yes, it happens to be a quick charge. Brick fast charge capable seven hours of battery life with a 15-minute charge nice to see the quick charge, brick in the box to go along with wireless charging, a rarity.

You don't see this too frequently anymore, some headphones in the box. They are Type C headphones. After all, there is no headphone jack, unfortunately, on the pixel 3 pixels, 3 XL, but I guess this is the next best thing you're getting some bundled type C earbuds, and you also get an adapter to you- can go from type C to a mini jack connector. If you want to use some legacy headphones or some higher quality headphones that still use this particular connector, the type-c cable itself, and then also this adapter, that goes from type C to the classic USB connector. This could be used to migrate over to this device from your previous one.

Okay, so let's go ahead and unbox all of them, and we can do a quick comparison of the various color and size options. It's eight on boxing now the thing about the glass on the back of these devices is, it hardly even looks like glass at first I was wondering I'm like is that even glass, but I've been told that this is Gorilla, Glass v soft touch, glass and yes, it does feel soft, there's almost no fingerprint effect on this glass. Now the thing I like about this one is: it does have a contrasting color on the front because, like the whole front is black, the back is white. I mean it's kind of a nice little touch. You get the accent button, it's just a little more unique.

So here's your first look at the displays. We have the XL on the left, the standard pixel three on the right six point: three inches 5.5 inches they're, both OLED. Of course, we do have the notch. There's been a lot of discussion about this notch, in particular on the XL version. I did mention earlier, at least in this case, get an extra camera lens and the stereo speaker I've also been told that you'll be able to turn off this notch in software at a later date.

So it would actually end up looking kind of like the standard pixel looks here at the top. You'd have a similar bezel there. If you did choose to do that in software, so you get a little more resolution in the bigger one. This is HD+ compared to F HD Plus, slightly higher PPI on the XL version. Also, so the bigger one is just under 3500 William hours, whereas the smaller guy is just under 3000, the regular pixel 3.

It feels surprisingly foreign, because you know smartphones, especially flagship smartphones, have been growing. Every single iteration I can see this being popular people who are looking for something a bit more subdued easier to hold in one hand somebody with a smaller grip. It's super comfy to hold myself I'd gravitate towards the XL for the bigger display, of course, the bigger battery. Now these are not going to be the champions when it comes to screen to body ratio. This is obviously an improvement over the previous version, but you still have bezels here.

The question is going to be whether that's worth it for you. Can you be convinced with two front-facing cameras? Can you be convinced with, hopefully better speakers? That's going to be up to you to decide. Nonetheless, that is the trade-off. Speaking of speakers, let's go ahead and do the thing, let's test out the stereo speakers on this unit. This is crazy loud.

This is way better than the previous version. First impressions here. These are some speakers there's some of the loudest I've tested in here. This is our first glance here at what happens with the black bars. You can go ahead and pinch to fill the screen zoom to fill kind of giant bezels.

To be fair. Now there was a lot of talk about the display on the previous version OLED. This looks like a completely new component to me. Also, if you head to the settings, you can kind of toggle in your preferences for the display so that it suits your taste buds, specifically there's adaptive brightness, which you can turn on some advanced settings here for colors, which can go from natural to boosted to adaptive. Now you probably also noticed that the home button, the navigation region down here, has changed a little on this particular device.

You can now swipe up from there for multitasking, and you can actually swipe across to move between apps like this there's also split-screen as well. So, if I tap on an app icon here, I can go to split screen mode, go ahead and pick my other app and then make my adjustments from there. So it's right within the multitasking. Maybe I'll actually use it now, because I don't have to go looking for it, I'm not really sure, but it's in the pixel device at this point now, I know what you guys are most excited about: you're sitting there watching this video you're screaming you're, saying Lou: what about the camera? There's a lot of pressure on this device to live up to the legend of the previous version. Pixel.

Can it do it I, don't know, let's launch it. Let's take a peek here now you can also employ some degree of digital zoom. As you can see here very interesting. If I tap on the face of the little figure there see how now it is tracking focus, that's a nice little frame right there, pixel cameras, I, don't need to tell you guys already know, but like there's, some really nice stuff happening. That's just a simple frame blue.

What about the portrait mode? And, oh, my goodness, would you look at that holy smokes? Preliminary video? This is this product is not retail, yet alright, I can't say too much test too much, but you can look at that. You're allowed to look at that. That's fair, very vibrant, very wonderful, okay, nice, of course, on the pixel there is a portrait mode on the front-facing camera. There's actually also an official beauty mode. But look at that would you live see it's.

You can toggle it off as far as I'm concerned with post-processing when it comes to complexion and things like this, that's got to be an option. You have to be able to turn it off. If you don't want it, so they have three settings, you can leave it off. You go to natural. You go to soft I'm gonna, leave it off.

So currently it's in the standard focal length, if I hit minus here I, will go to the wide-angle selfie, which actually is a different lens. This will give me a lot more play if I have extra people in the frame where I want to capture something. That's behind me and not just my face boom. That's a nice! Looking guy right, there, hey Jack what'd, you say: do I, look like I'm wearing makeup. Look at that wow! This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for this level of detail.

The beard hairs are one step. The pores on my face are a totally different step. That is a ton of detail. This is the standard focal length if I hit the minus here, you see how much more I get in frame we get Jack in frame over there. Now we can go ahead and that's a nice wide selfie scenario.

That's the amount of range that you're going to be able to get out of the wide lens now something else to mention the camera in the Advanced Settings. Here's something I like you have control over HDR+, which will show a manual control for HDR plus. If you want to toggle off the processing, that's taking place in your images, you can go a step further as well and right within the native photo app. You shoot raw plus JPEG, so you get the maximum amount of data out of the camera sensor or if you want to make sure that there's no processing taking place on your images, if you're, that type of person I like having these options available, there's even an option to store videos more efficiently in the h.265 codec. Instead of h.264 all options that you can toggle on or off the back. Camera is 12 point 2, megapixels and the front is 8.

But of course you can select various different settings if you choose to, but that's the default setting now the rear camera is capable of 4k at 30fps, and it also features a fused image stabilization using both optical and software, based stabilization for video now there's another feature in here called top shot, which will take a motion image and then, through that set of frames, it will aim to select the best frame automatically. This whole thing is a movement you see like this, and its suggestion is either here recommended. Another recommended one, there's, probably some that are not good like there or there. Now speaking of selfies is also a photobooth option, allows you to just smile to trigger a photo. Let's see if this works Jackie ready.

Here we go waiting for my lips to move. You see. This is what it takes. It takes a feature like this to get a real smile now something else that piqued my interest on this particular device is in the settings. Menu.

I know that seems strange like what are you doing digging through the settings menu there's something called digital wellbeing and if I click on this, this is all about how you use your smartphone, where you're spending your time how you might want to make adjustments to that time spent you can see here, it'll tell me how much use I've had today and where it was spent. Google camera photos YouTube. You can set timers and reminders so that you're not spending too much time in apps or on your phone in general, you can use a feature called Shh, placing your phone face down on a surface, maybe at a restaurant at home, on your nightstand, we'll put the device into do not disturb mode just by placing it down like that. Give you a little more control over your consumption on your smartphone lens is built in to the camera app. So just by swiping over two more and selecting lenses grab some text like right here, ain't boom, it'll pick it up.

You think lens will know about my shoe right now, tap on his shoe, Oh nailed it and boom. These are them, actually, that's them right. There now I mentioned earlier that this device has wireless charging um. Of course, a big fan of wireless charging I really missed it on the previous version of the pixel, and not only that they're actually making their own version. First party accessory wireless charge doc.

That's this guy right here! It's a soft touch, kind of material, and it works like this. You just drop it in drop. The phone right like that boom starts charging. It's also quick wireless charging, so it's not going to take forever to charge up your device. That's of course one of the criticisms of wireless chargers, not in this case now this display here it kind of acts as your -.

You can imagine this beside your bed. You have Google Assistant, which you can trigger sort of like a Google home. Furthermore, you could say: ok, Google, asked questions and so on. Furthermore, you can also click on my day, which would do you know, sort of break down the weather, your commute it can cycle through photos from whichever folder you identify there. Furthermore, you go as you can tell these people they're all they all love each other very much now.

The other thing we do is since its sort of a non multimedia mode is. We can use this to trigger some audio some music play Drake. You can see that the view looks different, since it knows it's docked. This piece here is going to retail for 79 bucks. I realize we didn't even talk about the price of these devices holy smokes.

Okay, the XL, the 3 XL, is going to start at 899 USD and the non XL. The standard pixel 3 will start at $7.99 USD. So obviously these things are squarely planted in the premium price range. So now give it up to you guys. What do you think should I switch over to this device? Huh.

You want a little a more little bit more testing a bit more of a comprehensive evaluation. I think you deserve it. I think I do too.
