Pixel 3 xl aka panda final design revealed :
The biggest surprise, however, is the inclusion of bundled earphones. Judging by the video , these are USB-C buds (no, the headphone jack isn’t coming back) that closely resemble Google’s premium wireless*Pixel Buds. Here’s hoping they deliver on audio quality and aren’t just a cheap pair of disposable earphones that get immediately resigned to the bin. Its running android 9.0 pie out of box.

the phone will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm processor (4 x 1.77GHz and 4 x 2.8GHz), which is almost certainly the*Snapdragon 845 SoC, backed by 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 630 GPU. The display is also listed as having a 1,440 x 2,960 resolution with a 494 ppi rating.

Worst part:
1)comes with ugly notch
2)only gesture control is available no softkey or anything
3)same back with with single camera and fingerprint sensor as previous pixel devices no innovativeness
4)big chin at bottom
5)only 4 gb RAM still in 2018
6)no headphone jack( carry that usb C connector too in pocket)
7)big like panda ?? can't handle
8)costly (but price not revealed)

Google has been going down hill lately. Only gestures...wtf. Volume buttons linked to media volume only...swipe down twice to get to settings icon... Come on now. P is a huge step back.

I can't understand what Google want to do by creating these phones?

NO! No notch!

 

[santanac]

Helll nooooo!!

Helll nooooo!!

This Pixel 2 xl maybe my last Google phone, with the un inspired Pixel 3, I will be waiting for Samsung galaxy s10 as my next replacement phone.

I'm honestly 50/50 in the Pixel 3 XL. I don't really mind the notch, the software is amazing, stock Android. I'm super happy with my 2 XL. However, what puts me off is the 4GB RAM. I believe with the Snapdragon 845, having 4BG RAM won't let it use it's full potential (please correct me if I'm wrong) There's also the fact that 5G is around the corner and with the chip finally made for smartphones to utilize 5G, do I want to Shell out $1k+ right now? I switched to TMobile and I can't utilize their 600Mhz range since the 2XL does not have band 71, which is another thing to consider. I've considered buying a Samsung, but with their bloat infested software and terrible customer service, let alone the slow updates, I don't think I want to. But, I digress. Either way, it's a lot for me to take into consideration. For all I know, I only want it because it's the latest and greatest ?*

I was about to say Pixel 3 XL was worth buying if you had a OG Pixel XL or any other non-Google phone. But after reading my own comment, I changed my mind.

Don't get me wrong, I love my P2XL. But I don't think P3XL will be a good value. P3XL specs are marginally better than P2XL. When P3XL is released, P2XL prices will drop. Will P3XL be worth the extra money? Only if you must have the latest and greatest. Otherwise, save some money and get P2XL instead.

Even one plus 6 is far better than this pixel 3 xl

You should add a poll to this post

As for me I just bought my 2 XL (coming from an OG pixel xl) a week ago knowing that the 3XL is just around the corner, but I didn't feel it would be significant upgrade and wouldn't justify the expected ridiculous price Google will be asking for it

I just hope they don't keep a couple of SW features exclusive to the Pixel 3 like they did when they launched the pixel 2 to those poor soles who had the OG Pixel

Won't win any Apple beauty contests, but I'll try it out. Then compare side by side to my 2XL and make a hands on decision to keep or sell....

 

[armaki]

Fugly! No!

 

[wcouri]

If I'm paying a grand for a phone it better have more than 4gb of RAM

Google does not learn their lesson. Spends over a billion dollars to acquire new engineers for the phone, and none of them can think of the simplest way to do wireless charging without a glass or plastic back. And they don't get a good designer for the phone? C'mon!!!

Anyway, all the reasons you listed are fine with me... but one is what makes me, and many other people, just drop any chances of getting this phone. That is definitely the most stupid decision, which guarantees the worst investment by any company ever! Getting stupid engineers for over a billion dollars that actually don't know CRAP!

- A notch is fine, just not that shape and so deep into the screen. Look at LGQ and OP6. Beautiful notches, if you gotta have a notch. But okay, I can take that.
- It's okay to have a chin... for stereo speakers... but THAT BIG!!!??? Wish it was smaller... but that is still okay with me.
- Why a glass back!?!?!? Just charge the freaking phone through the front screen. I am not using the phone when charging wirelessly anyway. Now pixel will also become a fragile phone Still, I can take that too...
- Soft keys? Stupid engineers or whoever takes care of the software... There's still that pill. WHY???? GET RID OF IT GOOGLE!!! Give me screen space!!! Or let the pill be on top of the content when you touch the screen. What a wast of over one full row! But okay... I can live with it.
- Single camera.... fine with me... as long as it is as good or better than the current pixel 2 camera... and who knows... maybe it will come with optical zoom! (I wish!)
- I actually like the fingerprint spot, would never change it. My phone already does great with the fingerprint and face detection. Kudos for keeping that Google!
- Love the size of the phone. Perfect for my hands. If this is too big for you, you can always have the smaller version.
- Cost... all good phones are expensive... but as long as it is good like the Pixel, I am fine paying for it.

- Now, this is what I cannot accept... I have been a fan of nexus phones, since nexus 5, and have purchased every single phone, every year. Now... 4GB MEMORY!?!? If that does not change when the phone is out, I'm out. I can take all these new **** from google, but 4GB memory? No... I'm going to another brand or OS this time. Maybe OP6 or whatever. That decision is simply stupid.

Worst part:
1)comes with ugly notch
2)only gesture control is available no softkey or anything
3)same back with with single camera and fingerprint sensor as previous pixel devices no innovativeness
4)big chin at bottom
5)only 4 gb RAM still in 2018
6)no headphone jack( carry that usb C connector too in pocket)
7)big like panda can't handle
8)costly (but price not revealed)

i just wonder will they price this even more than pixel 2 xl.

If they will have a Pink Pixel 3 XL then I am upgrading. Need to get a pink phone for my fiance so we have a matching phone set. Current she has a Sony XA2 in Pink.

During some of the media's "leak" coverage I have seen some so call Pixel 3 XL images with a white and pink two tone.... so hopefully that is the case.
