The editors didn't like
Average battery life
Screen brightness
There isn't one. Not that I'd expect it
But it's still lame
The $150 price increase for the small Pixel stings
And the added $50 for the XL is getting dangerously close to Note 9 territory
The Pixel 3 XL's notch is silly. It's not the end of the world
Overview redesign in Pie is a step back in functionality
Gesture navigation doesn't solve any problems
Options to use button-style navigation have been removed
Many design changes feel like the “iPhone-ification” of Android for no real reason
Some oth
No Expandable Storage
Big Notch On The XL
New Navigation Elements May Take Getting Used To
The phone doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack. The shot-to-shot camera delay can be sluggish in certain modes
A bit expensive
Bezels could be slimmer
Not quite all-day battery life (but close)
Wireless charging support is a mess
No headphone jack
A few memory-related issues
Expensive
Chunky bezel
Less RAM and storage than some competitors
Mediocre battery life
Poor RAM management
Scratches easily
Basic stock Android experiences
Pixel 3 XL notch is divisive
More expensive than last year's Google phones
Still no headphone jack
Not the fanciest design possible
Video recording could be better
Verizonexclusive
No microSD card slot
Average/boring design (that works)
Very occasional performance hiccup
Included headphones uncomfortable and mediocre
Top speaker isn't as loud as bottom
Like other flagships
Pricey
Not all software ready at launch
Only one rear lens
Limited advanced shooting options
No expandable memory
Low maximum brightness
Active-Edge functionality is not customisable
Noticeable jello and frame shift in walking scenes
Colors are sometimes slightly dull
Very slight jerkiness during autofocus convergence in low light conditions
