2018 Google Pixel 3 and 3XL...😗🎉😵

[Mecisteus]

Just like real estate area or space, dollar per square-ft. Hahaha.

CNet has an interesting article abt the storage cost on Pixel 3s vs Samsung and iPhone flagships to compete for dollar/GB. Lol.

https://www.cnet.com/news/pixel-3-is-pricier-than-you-think-when-it-comes-to-storage/

Real estate is practical to look at the space and cost.

But for a phone, it is not sensible to look at the screen or storage size per dollar.

People will choose a bigger or smaller phone based on their preference or comfort.

If you are looking for more value per dollar, then it is best to carry a tablet around for your mobile.

Yeah. This is especially true for me. I prefer smaller phone that I can use with one hand. When the Nexus 6 came, I switch from nexus 5 to Moto x as it's too big. Good that pixel have smaller form factor now

After using iPhone X for a year, i find that smaller phone (bigger screen) suit better in my hand. Currently holding iPhone XS Max and is abit big. LOL

So i will be getting Pixel 3 plus singtel giving free wireless charger. not bad!

Sad that our local telco still not supporting esim. Haiz.

And im guessing the nfc ezlink wont work here? Including there is no VoLTE?

Yeah those have never been supported on Nexus/Pixel phones. Don't pin too much hopes on the Pixel 3.

pixel does not support dual sim also, even if got eSim also only one line can be use

that's why the X was best small phone with big screen estate and easy to hold in 1 hand. max is difficult and need to adjust holding it. was expecting to get p3xl but the notch and big chin is one i cant take. maybe next yr pixel.

Saw Erica Griffin's video on how the black colour gets smudges easily and how difficult it is to wipe those smudges off..

Now I'm leaning towards the white colour......

Wonder why Google still bothers with shitty ass LG screens rather than going with full Samsung. That Pixel 3 looks horrible.

I wonder is it planned?
Just cannot make it perfect otherwise next year cannot improve
Maybe I thinking too much.

The Pixel 3 phones seems to be locked to gesture navigation only (according to XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-google-pixel-3-xl-minor-features/).

But people say can enable back 3 button nav using the 'secret' System UI Tuner.
That display unit should be enabled back using the System UI Tuner.

I don't want the back 3 button. The display set is using the 3 buttons.

Now I'm already using gestures for my pixel xl and I'm OK with it.

Quite upset they remove the LED notifications.. that was the stand out between android/iOS

 

[iron2000]

Screen tint for smaller model.
Speaker output unbalance.

Now one more, low quality audio in video recordings:

I also sad that theres no notification LED

Last time I used some app that light up one tiny square on a black screen to act as notification "LED".
Back when i using HTC Desire.

Haha. now is probably the worst period to go on reddit google pixel subreddit. I saw one guy with an unresponsive screen too. The demo unit of the Pixel 3 i saw didn't seem to have obvious colour shifting though. I'm guessing it's going to be lottery. like some will be better, some worse.
