Google Pixel 3 XL

Google Pixel 3 XL

Google presented new Pixel phones at their own event on 9 October 2018, including this larger Pixel 3 XL. Are you a fan of large displays, excellent cameras, and a stock Android experience? Then choose this device! The Pixel 3XL is available in black, white, and sand colours!

The American tech giant has packed the Pixel with the latest features. A superfast Snapdragon 845 is fitted under the hood, you can easily multitask with 6GB of RAM, and you can charge the 3430mAh battery wirelessly. The phone runs on the user-friendly Android Pie!

Android 9.0 Pie

Out of the box, the Pixel 3 XL runs on stock Android 9.0 Pie. Google hasn't made any changes to this operating system, which means that there are no unnecessary apps, skins, or extras installed. This keeps your device fast, snappy, and user-friendly!

Cameras: two on the front, one on the back

Many competitive smartphones today come with two cameras on the back. With this Pixel 3 XL there's only one. But don't be fooled, this single 12-megapixel camera shoots astonishing pictures, and you can even add a depth-of-field effect!

On the front, you will find two cameras in the notch at the top of the screen. These two 8-megapixel front cameras capture even more in a selfie, and can add a bokeh effect to your snapshots. This means that objects in the background are blurred while the subject in the selfie comes out sharply!

Large display, large notch

The Pixel 3 XL is immediately noticeable thanks to its large display. With a size of 6.2 inches, and a razor-sharp resolution of 2960x1440 pixels, this screen is perfect for films, series, and games. It is an OLED screen, which means that the colours splash off your screen and black is really black!

The screen is surrounded by thin bezels on the side, a small chin at the bottom and a somewhat large notch at the top of the screen. The design is made of glass, feels solid, and has an IP67 certification. This means that the Pixel 3 XL can withstand a splash of rain!

Fast performance

Under the hood of this Pixel 3 XL, you'll find the Snapdragon 845. This octa-core processor, supported by 6GB of RAM, is a true powerhouse and very energy-efficient to boot! With this device you can easily run heavy apps or games and still expect a good battery life.

Strong battery, QuickCharge, and wireless charging

With the energy-efficient processor, the 3430mAh battery provides you with power all day long. Unfortunately, you'll need to charge it at some point. Fortunately, this can be done very quickly thanks to QuickCharge technology, or wirelessly by placing your Pixel on a separately sold charging station!

Biometric security

Unlocking the Google Pixel 3 XL can be done with the lightning-quick fingerprint scanner, among other things. Place your fingertip on this sensor to unlock your smartphone within a fraction of a second. As a quick and convenient alternative, you'll have facial recognition in the front camera!

Touch-sensitive sides

Just like last year's Pixel 2 models, Google has equipped this Pixel 3 XL with Active Edge, or pressure-sensitive sides. This way, you can squeeze your device to launch Google Assistant or take a picture. You can also set up apps yourself to get even more out of your smartphone!
