Yup, that's what I saw at Nex as well. First day went and play, both small and XL were gesture, but the next day go see again both model's gesture got disabled. Tried looking into settings but can't find any option to do it..

According to XDA, there's a way to re-enable the traditional navigation bar that doesn't even require root!

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-xl-camera-software-design-pixel-stand/

Google has made this form of navigation the default on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL with no way to disable it. In stock Android Pie, you can disable gestures by going to Settings –> System –> Gestures –> Swipe up on home button and unchecking the toggle. Via a framework-res overlay, Google has removed this option on the Pixel 3. That means you’ll need root access to bring the toggle back so you can fully disable the gestures.

There is, however, a way to bring back the 3 button navigation bar layout that doesn’t involve root. The hidden navigation bar tuner from Android Nougat still exists in Android Pie, even if you can’t access the interface directly. An app on our forums called Custom Navigation Bar provides a GUI for the navigation bar tuner that you can use to modify the navigation bar buttons. If you do so, you’ll lose the ability to trigger the Google Assistant via a long-press of the home button (though Active Edge still works). Also, the icons won’t automatically change colors with the rest of the navigation barβ€”meaning in some apps, the navigation bar buttons will still be white while the background is white. Lastly, the navigation gestures aren’t actually disabled and can still be used, though I don’t really see this as a downside.

Am using iPhone X as my main phone and Pocophone as my work/spare phone.

Am thinking to change to pixel 3(non xl version), but smaller than iPhone X by 0.3”, not sure whether a big deal. Guess have to go down to the shop to test it out.

Previously using pixel 2, but find the screen small as compared to iPhone X and the screen vibrancy is real bad. Can’t adapt to it.

You mean screen size smaller by 0.3" right? Because the phone size should definitely be bigger due to the top & bottom speakers & bezels.

Was at Kovan Heartland Mall today and found the Pixel 3s prominently displayed at the counter in Singtel partner shop. All have been configured to use gesture-based navigation.
