Verdict
Google once again sets the standard for Android
phones with the Pixel 3. It’s an unassuming device,
partly due to its similarity with the Pixel 2 and the
overwhelming amount of leaks.
It gets the basics right, rather than trying to add
a load of new features people don’t actually need.
The Pixel 3 offers excellent and compact design
with solid core specs and smooth performance.
While you can buy cheaper Android rivals that
have features such as a headphone jack and microSD
card slot, the Pixel 3 is likely to win you over with it’s
amazing cameras and the handy features within Pie.
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense Android phone
that you can rely on, then the Pixel 3 is a top choice.
It’s worth bearing in mind the XL model offers a very
similar experience, but with a larger screen (including
a notch) and bigger battery. Chris Martin
