To those using the Pixel 3 XL, how is the phone hold up? Any issues? Or things that you don’t like about? I’m seriously considering getting the larger device instead of the smaller one. Kinda tedious to play the lottery game

I like my P2(non-XL) battery life but if P3(non-XL) is going to short-change me 1.5 hrs runtime, I may have to consider getting the XL instead. Battery is a concern for me as I will be outdoor for 10 hrs or so.

P3 looks really perfect to me, so was really decided on that more or less from the start, then display issue tat all the bros here faced, the 3xl notch really .... :s22:

hissgate or that static sound is there.. ram management definitely need improvement (reported fixing in dec update).. volume for top speaker is lesser than of the bottom noticable if you bring it close to your ears (sound also seems abit muffled and you can feel phone vibrate @ 50%+ volume onwards) edit: you can try buzz test on playing ndp18: We are Singapore 2018 on spotify..notice the starting tone.
that notch you will get used to it, it's not as bad after awhile. The screen is great and the haptic feedback is definitely a thumbs up.

And also the "Display Tester" app in Google Playstore. Look for the grey/dark grey backgrounds and turn tge brightness down to 30%. Should set the conditions right to pick up any inconsistent colour tones.



Haha, in the photos it's probably not that obvious but in person if you look at it long enough you'll notice it. Then again, different people have different visual sensitivity towards such variances.

I downloaded the app...can i check which "setting / option" did you pick under Basics tab i guess... just to do a sanity check on my pixel3..thanks!

Thanks for sharing:) will give it a shot. Most of them seem fixable by software in time:) I hardly blast the phone speakers so I reckon that’s not too much of an issue for me. I tend to be more particular about display quality
