Also Read:- Google Pixel 3 review: raising the bar for the Android experience
The littler of Google's new Pixel cell phones is ostensibly the best little Android telephone going, and the Pixel 3 XL shares a considerable lot of its best qualities.
The backs of the gadgets are a spitting picture of one another – two-tone glass, part cleaned, part scratched. The polished covered metal sides and glass back have a lavish, smooth feel in the hand.
The carved surface shrouds the wreckage of fingerprints for the most part connected with glass-sponsored telephones, however is somewhat more elusive than the cleaned segment. Following two or three weeks it turned into somewhat less dangerous, however at 76.7mm wide the Pixel 3 XL is anything but a little telephone.
Taking care of it one-gave is a test, yet its lighter 184g weight helps contrasted and the 208g iPhone XS Max and 201g Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

The 6.3in screen is excellent. Fresh, vivid and enhanced over a year ago. It's not exactly as eye-flying as Samsung or Apple's ideal, yet it is close, and the thing that matters is currently down to a matter of taste.
There is, notwithstanding, a gigantic indent containing the double selfie camera and speaker. Tasteful discussions aside, it's essential to take note of that in light of the fact that the indent is so tall it takes up a major lump of the screen at the best, with the territory either side only being utilized for the status bar.

Accordingly, in spite of being 0.3in greater on the slanting than the Pixel 2 XL, the Pixel 3 XL has basically just picked up a status-bar's tallness on the screen contrasted and a year ago's telephone. The usable screen zone consequently works out around 0.3mm taller than the Pixel 2 XL, as Android disregards the space either side of the indent in most full-screen applications, for example, Netflix, Amazon or most other video applications. YouTube and Google Photos are the most clear special cases.
There isn't sufficient room either side of the indent for a large portion of the status bar symbols either. In the event that you have the battery rate unmistakable, the telephone associated with wifi and set to vibrate, on the off chance that you interface an arrangement of Bluetooth earphones you wind up with a dab in the correct side of the status bar showing there are a larger number of symbols required than can fit.
The equivalent goes for notice symbols on the left, which need to fit in the little zone between the time and the indent. Google isn't the only one in having this issue, yet it is extremely articulated on the Pixel 3 XL.

There are computerized prosperity apparatuses, including time trackers and Google's Wind Down, which enacts don't bother and sets the screen to monochrome to prevent you from utilizing it.
By and large this is the smoothest, most refined adaptation of Android accessible on any cell phone, equaling Apple's iOS on the iPhone XS for smoothness.

The Pixel Stand is a discretionary £69 remote charging stand that has two novel highlights for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL. The first is the capacity to remotely charge the new Google cell phones at 10W. Outsider Qi remote chargers can right now just charge the Pixel 3 and 3 XL at 5W, albeit affirmed Made for Google remote chargers will be accessible at the later date that can charge the telephones at the full 10W.
The second is it transforms the cell phone into a representation Google Assistant savvy show, similar to the Google Home Hub. When you put the telephone on the remain with the screen off it dispatches Google Assistant mode, which either lights an encompassing showcase with time, date and notices like ordinary, with an additional Google Assistant box at the base, or shows a choice of your Google Photos.
It additionally enacts the shrewd speaker-like continually listening mode that sits tight for the wake words "Hello Google", starting up Google Assistant yelping out answers utilizing the speakers and showing results on the screen.
It can likewise go about as a dawn caution, illuminating the screen 15 minutes before your morning alert goes off in warm red to yellow tones, and lights up with a live feed from the front entryway in the event that somebody rings the Nest Hello doorbell you may have.
It functions admirably enough, yet is costly for a remote charger and I presume few will esteem it a fundamental buy.

Its lighter weight is leeway against adversaries in diminishing the potential hand torment caused by its size however.
