Google Pixel 3 review

Google's Pixel 3 smartphone is the best Android phone you can buy. It doesn't have the best looks or the most cutting edge features, but you'll be hard pressed to find better software and unique A.I. functionalities.

Beautiful OLED screen ; Perfect size ; Fantastic camera ; Slick software ; Unique A.I. features

Google’s Pixel 3 is a hair away from pocket-sized perfection

Pixel 3 review: The best Android phone of 2018

The Pixel 3's camera already makes it a standout -- but useful Google software elevates the phone even more.

The Pixel 3 takes brilliant photos, even in super low-light, with its single rear lens and it can capture wider selfie photos. It's water resistant, has wireless charging and it can screen unwanted calls.

The phone doesn't have expandable memory or a headphone jack. The shot-to-shot camera delay can be sluggish in certain modes.

The Pixel 3's truly exceptional cameras and AI-powered call screening give it an edge on the other great phones in 2018's crowded winners' circle.

Google Pixel 3

The Google Pixel 3 is the best small Android phone you can buy with the latest specs, impressive camera capabilities, and genuinely innovative AI features.

Compact. Fast performance. Beautiful OLED screen. Sharp front and rear camera with impressive low-light, zoom, and bokeh capabilities. Useful Google Assistant functionality. Highly optimized software with guaranteed updates.

No headphone jack or memory card slot.

The Google Pixel 3 has fast performance, excellent camera capabilities, and useful AI functionality that goes beyond what we're seeing in other Android flagships. It's $100 less than the larger Pixel 3 XL, doesn't have the distracting screen notch, and...

The Google Pixel 3 Review: The Ultimate Camera Test

The Pixel 3 is Google's third generation in-house design, meant to showcase the company's own view of what an Android device should be, whilst fully embracing Google's first-party software applications and services. The one thing Google's Pixel phones...

The Pixel 3 comes with the latest version of Android. It should be said that the new gesture navigation on the Pixel 3 seems largely pointless. For me, it brings no benefit over the 3-button navigation scheme, and it’s actually a worse way to use the...

Google Pixel 3 Smartphone Review

No flagship. The Google Pixel 3 is an expensive smartphone, which retails for US$799 (£739). However, it must compete against comparably equipped but considerably cheaper competitors. Find out in our detailed review whether Google has corrected the...

pure Android 9 Pie experience ; USB 3.1 Type-C ; Bluetooth 5.0 ; good speakers ; worldwide LTE coverage ; OLED screen

no expandable memory ; mediocre battery life ; low maximum brightness ; Active-Edge functionality is not customizable

The Google Pixel 3 is a solid high-end smartphone. It is expensive and has a dated design in our opinion, but its great rear-facing camera, pure Android experience and front-firing stereo speakers are impressive. Active Edge is a useful addition too,...

Google Pixel 3 Review: Picture greatness

It's a testament to just how high expectations are for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL that, even after months of the Google phones leaking, interest in them remains high. Now, the pair of Android 9 Pie handsets are finally headed to shelves, promising the...

Camera technology leads the pack ; Elegant, tactile glass & metal design ; Wireless charging is a welcome addition ; OLED screens look great

Pixel 3 XL notch is divisive ; More expensive than last year's Google phones ; Still no headphone jack

Google Pixel 3 review: Great things come in small(er) packages

Our Google Pixel 3 review takes a look at the smaller of Google's new flagship devices and finds that great things can still come in small(er) packages.

Outstanding camera, especially Night Sight ; Feels like a solid, well built smartphone ; Crisp, bright display ; Great performance ; Gesture navigation is quick once you get used to it ; Monthly security updates ; Unlimited online photo storage for two...

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 ; No headphone jack

Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL Review

By this time of the year, we have a pretty good idea what to expect with top-of-the-line Android hardware, so does Google's smartest smartphones yet achieve supremacy through software?

The Google Android experience ; Superb camera ; Buttery-smooth performance ; Innovative features like call screening and duplex

Not the fanciest design possible ; Video recording could be better ; Verizon-exclusive
