[GOOGLE PIXEL 3 REVIEW]
Among Star Trek fans, “Kobayashi Maru” is synonymous with “no-win scenario” … and this year in mobile tech, my Kobayashi Maru is the Pixel 3 review. Because this phone is marred by so much controversy and compromise that phone geeks will flay me for even suggesting it’s worth its asking price ... while at the same time, the normal folks at whom the phone is aimed will see a fantastic iPhone XS alternative for $200 less -- and for them, the defects I call out may seem barely worth a mention. As usual, reality is somewhere in between. Join me as I try to tease the truth from the trash, in the MrMobile Google Pixel 3 Review!

*Good to see someone actually reviewing the normal Pixel 3. Everyone else seems to be reviewing the Notch 3 XL*

@therealestmc85 5 лет назад

Alternative Tech Reports because that’s the thing that pops out the most. You can ignore the stupid notch on the phone.

@tams805 5 лет назад

Most reviewers tend to go for the larger device (although to be fair the larger device is usually more powerful).

@Neanderthal75 5 лет назад

Yes, the reviewers, and the manufacturers are sizing their phones up, like everyone wants to carry a smaller sized television. While there is a significant section of the population aren't happy about the larger devices. The optimal size should be what the iphones used to be, or for example, the LG G6 or the Galaxy S8/sS9 non-plus.

The whole *point* of gestures is to remove the navigation bar for more immersive screen on these near bezelles phones. Google somehow managed to fail at understanding this concept... Just adopt the iphone X gestures if you cant figure anything by yourself, but that navigation bar has to go away. We went a step back here, gestures *and* nav bar. Great job Google..

Agree with everything in your review, thanks for that!! The camera just blows me away, makes me much more aware of taking pictures in my daily life, and I am always 1000% pleased with the way they are coming out. Love the build with the glass back, it feels so simple and premium. NOT a fan of the gestures as well. I wish they would have given more options like OnePlus did with the 6 when they rolled out Pie. You can hide the buttons, have all three, or just use 2. And, with Nova Launcher, you can use gestures to swipe up anywhere on the home screen for the app drawer...it just seemed much more fluid. But, I am anxious to see how things morph when Google starts pushing out updates. And I agree, battery life is ok, but definitely thought it would be better...

The Price is different for all places in the world, the only notable thing that kept me from buying a Pixel here in the Philippines, is the price. Its not $800 like in the United States, but more like $1200 in the Philippines. For that much money, even if I really like to have that phone as my daily driver for the next 3 years, I just couldn't. BTW. The iPhone XS here starts at $1250 and the top of the range XS Max with 512GB is almost $2000.

@thez28camaroman 5 лет назад

I don't see how the price is justifiable against the Galaxy S9. The Pixel 3 is clearly not aimed at the tech enthusiast so if it aims for the average consumer, why would they pay more for a remarkably similar experience to that of the cheaper and better spec'd Galaxy S9?

I have the Pixel 3 XL in white. Coming from OnePlus 5T. My impressions: Pros: Great camera Excellent video stabilization Free full size photo and video storage in Google photos. Cons: The speakers sound bad. Distortion. Vibrates the phone. The microphone is terrible. Phone is laggy sometimes. Shouldn't be the case with a $1k phone Hideous notch Fingerprint sensor on the back. I think it's an inconvenient location. No flashlight shortcut Ridiculously short charger cable.. about 2.5 ft Lacking physical switch for do not disturb mode Not sure if I will keep it yet.

I usually do not comment on videos, but man! Your videos are aesthetically pleasing, you rock! For a 800 dollar phone (+tax in many countries), the compromises we have to undergo for this pixel camera experience are too much. 1. The 4gb ram and poor memory management 2. the very scratch-able back panel 3. unimpressive screen 4. the hugeeeee notch in Pixel 3 xl 5. The out of box 10w charging compatibility with only pixel stand and no other wireless charger I hate it when a company mocks apple for something ( removal of headphone jack or notch) and then adopt that thing. Google is not cool anymore in pixel hardware, unfortunately. Set a standard and adhere by it ( Like samsung maybe?)

I bought the Pixel3 with the Black Friday Sale...for the most part I am loving it. A few items of concern I keep noticing. 1) The Google Assistant will sometimes not ‘continue’ properly. Meaning that you ask it to text so-and-so the name appears, but, the mike never opens to show it is listening again. 2) Bluetooth devices stop working/connecting to the phone. (Both of these seem to be remedied with a phone restart) 3) The wider angle front facing camera distorts the image significantly if you are only using your arm/hand. I wonder if it would look better on a selfie stick?

Love the video! I moved to the pixel line with the second generation. I love front facing speakers on a phone, that is what drew me, but the bonus of a great camera was a bonus. I went from the pixel 2xl to the 3Xl without any regrets. I love this phone and the last without a case. Since this phone is glass, I use a case outside just to be secured about drops. The notch, oh the notch? The design should have been smaller, or the XL should have been set up like the pixel. I feel that the design of this phone will last longer than most designs, due to it's simplicity. When is see iPhones or Galaxy phones that are over a few years old, I think, those are still around. This phone will wear it's age well. No need to touch on the software and it's capabilities, it is implicit.

Great video, Michael. I really wanted to like the Pixel phones this year, as I was thinking it was just about time to replace my OnePlus 3T. However, as much as I like what they've done on the software side of things, I think they made too many compromises when it comes to hardware, at least for what they're charging. It's a shame, as I like stock Android and all the advantages it brings (and the 2014 Nexus 6 is still my favorite phone of the ones I've owned), but I just can't see paying the retail price for what you're getting on the hardware side of things. May just hold on to the 3T for a little while longer, as right now there's nothing out that is so compelling to me that I feel like I have to switch.

@username-mb2qh 5 лет назад

I mostly tend to agree with your reviews but this one not so much. Even if we use the assumption that the average customer doesn't really care about all those crazy features from companies like Samsung, Pixel 3 even fails in basic tasks. Pixel 3 has horrible quality control and over the past week it was pretty much constant defects after defects and I'm sure nobody would want to put up with that. Lack of a headphone jack also adds unnecessarily complications for anyone who just wants to plug their headphones and play instead of having to deal with dongles and other annoying stuff. Pixel 3 even falls short in video by having a really bad mic and also lacks of 4K 60fps which everyone else has (4K may not be sth most people care about but come on this is supposed to be a camera based phone). All of this combined with a very high price tag make overall Pixel 3 and 3 XL really bad phones.

@JstnMoyer 5 лет назад

UX design rant: Gesture navigation is only better if it is more efficient and intuitive. Android 9 nav _seems_ less efficient than the three button setup it advanced from. You make a great point about Moto's gesture nav because it incorporates gestures without compromising efficiency and familiarity. This all has to do with how you navigate through the devices user experience which is a big deal and thus, a big compromise. You interact with this more than anything. Let's hope Google continues to develop this... and at a faster rate since it seems to not have changed much since it's debut last Spring.

@greatirishday 5 лет назад

Michael, great review video. Here's my story: I'm old school in that I buy a new cell phone once every four or five years, so I've never been one to care about having the latest and greatest all the time. I need my phone to do the things that I have to do, like make phone calls, text, check email, play a game, and once in a great while check something on the internet. It needs to be a serviceable, easy-to-use phone and doesn't need to perform at the highest levels the way I want my desktop computer to perform. Since that's where I'm coming from as a buyer, the Pixel 3 easily meets my needs and I've been very happy with it since buying it two days ago. I actually bought the Samsung S9 when my old Motorola Droid finally died on me, and while I think the S9 is a good phone I took it back and exchanged it for the Pixel 3 for two reasons: the much better camera and the clean android experience with no bloatware. Do I wish it had more RAM? More customization of icons or themes? Sure, some of those things would be nice but its snappy enough and does what I need it to do, and as a serious photography hobbyist I love the camera, so I'm very pleased with the phone so far. I actually find it kind of amusing to see people making a big deal out of where a little icon is on the home screen, or that something isn't perfectly symmetrical. But if that's what people want to obsess over then more power to them, we each like what we like, I guess.

Another great review. I love my Pixel 3, especially the size. I kept my Pixel 2 XL as my work phone (separate number/carrier) and every day I'm shocked how small the Pixel 3 feels but still has a "big enough" screen. Totally agree on the app switching gesture, I expect we'll get new "options" in a future update. My 3's camera still doesn't have Night Sight.

@@goosty17 the s9 has a better brighter display and is actually slightly cheaper as is the iphone xr but the screen is lower res. The pixel 3 has alot of problems right now it's a good phone but if you buy one now you might as well be a beta tester. That awesome camera isn't enough to carry the whole phone especially when the s9 and all the new iPhone has awesome cameras just not quite as good photo processing as the pixel

@AlienSasquatch14 5 лет назад

Great review. I had the Pixel 3 XL but it kept getting stuck where the screen would not turn on even though you could feel the haptic vibration when you touched the fingerprint sensor. Also, the sound in videos was not good at all. So had to return it. Really wanted to like this phone.

@fightnight14 5 лет назад

Yup its actually great. Not as intuitive and fancy like a full gesture based navigation but I still like the idea of pressing a button to go home instead of swiping up

@cosmingosav 5 лет назад

How can you like it when 1. It still takes up a huge screen real estate(same as buttons did), which basically renders it useless and 2. Why swipe twice for the app drawer? It's counter intuitive. Let's say google wants you to use the recents tab more than the menu, ok i get it. But the shit ram management renders it useless.

@@cosmingosav I think the thing is, look at the software changes for pie and the gestures. its kind of perfect. I mean, the recent tab had to be changed so you scroll horizontally and they did it perfectly with swiping left and right. Plus 90-95% you just swipe up once for using the 5 most used apps anyway on the bottom . I think the gestures arent really worse but different. a different approach

@elimalinsky7069 5 лет назад

The Pixel 3 and its larger sibling is such a disappointment. There is absolutely nothing that sets it apart from the competition, especially with all the great devices we get from Chinese OEMs as of late. Yes, the camera is great, but it's not wildly better this year than what other flagship devices are packing. The notch on the XL variant is horrendous, the white space philosophy of Google is the exact opposite of what you would like to see on an OLED display (the implementation of dark mode is sadly subpar and inconsistent), and with Google pushing other OEMs to pursue Android skins closer and closer to stock, it beats the purpose of having a Pixel device. Also, flagship phones these days are so quick and snappy, so the speed benefits of a Pixel device are mostly left unnoticeable.

@elimalinsky7069 5 лет назад

@Patrick i do agree that the notch is subjective, but I just can't understand how come the notch even came to be realized as a justified way of eliminating bezels. By eliminating bezels, what you essentially do is introduce a new problem that is far more distracting than the problem you tried to solve to begin with. I wonder how phones would have looked like in 2018 if Apple had not introduced a design with a notch for the iPhone X in late 2017.

@cosmingosav 5 лет назад

@Patrick All the pixel controversy aside, I have nothing against the pixel lineup. I know i am not the target audience for that and i can respect other people who are. But when I am paying top dollar for a piece of tech like that, I don't want to "get used" to a design which is arguably the shittiest in the industry at this moment. Poor design is not an excuse. If OnePlus can do it, google can step it's shit up.

@RomitHeerani 5 лет назад

This was the perfect summation of the device imo. It's made for the no nonsense usage most people prefer, no tweaking, no messing, just using the phone as a tool for communication, entertainment and such, and it delivers on that. Also agreed on the colour point, was really hoping they would release the turquoise colour they teased on the Japanese website. Though one thing that should be mentioned about the Pixel line of phones: they don't require you to upgrade yearly by bringing the most important features to older generations barring any hardware limitations, which is just amazing value add if you like to keep phones for longer than a year or like to pass it on to a relative. Also, they don't drop in price (just like iPhones) permanently in that year, which is bad for patient buyers, but good if you want to sell or want to buy the phone at any time (discounts obviously still happen)
