Geekbench 4

We find the display looks great in the default
adaptive mode, but you can head into the settings
menu and try other colour modes. There’s also
natural and boosted.

Processor, memory and storage
When it comes to the core specs, there’s a predictable
upgrade to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 – the firm’s
flagship processor for 2018. Memory remains at just
4GB (despite rumours of a 50 percent increase). You
need to choose from 64- or 128GB of storage. Pick
wisely as there’s no microSD card slot as usual.
The Pixel 3 might not be setting any records in our
benchmark tests, although 61fps in T-Rex appears to
have gone beyond the limit, but the phone is super
smooth in real life, so you needn’t worry on this front.
