That also means that status bar icons get cut and are buried if you want to show more than battery percentage, WiFi, and cellular connectivity. Because Google moved the clock to the left side and included this giant notch, you only get to see two notification icons at a time now, followed by a little dot to let you know that there are more. When the background of your phone isn’t black or a dark color, there is a giant notch that you will see.īeyond how it looks, the notch is big enough that it does affect some of the experience too.
I’m not sure the notch is reason enough to completely run away from the Pixel 3 XL, but it also hasn’t just faded from view and my mind after using it as I expected it might. Look, I’ve been using this phone off and on for weeks and the notch still catches my eye at times. What was Google thinking here? It’s obvious they wanted to keep the front-facing speakers and double up the front cameras, so they doubled the width of the notch and made it the worst we’ve seen to date. It looks terrible next to other notches on the market today, especially phones like the OnePlus 6T who are already bringing us baby teardrops. Notch!Īlright, let’s get this out of the way – the notch on this phone is pretty bad. For this 3 XL review, I want to talk about its display, design, battery life, and if the price is right.

If you want to know about the software experience, the camera capabilities, availability, performance, and and specs, you will find those details at our Pixel 3 review.

Why mini and not full review? Because there really are only a couple of specific differences to look at between the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Whether it does or not let’s jump into this mini review of the Pixel 3 XL. So, I wanted to spend plenty of time with each to really get a feel for them, rather than rush the two in a single lumped-together review. I separated them because while the software experience, camera, and availability do not differ, the designs, size, batteries, displays, and prices are certainly different. That’s what we’re about to dive into here.
When I reviewed the smaller Pixel 3 a couple of weeks ago, I told you that a Pixel 3 XL-specific review would follow.
