Google Pixel 3 XL Specs and Price

Going by the naming, the Google Pixel 3 XL is a bigger version of the Google Pixel 3 with not much of an overall improvement. Nonetheless, the Google Pixel 3 XL sports a notch on top of the display, a bigger screen and a bigger battery.

Besides that, the remainder of the specs remans the same as in the Google Pixel 3. Its predecessor was known for its powerful camera and according to Google, the Pixel 3 series is the best photography smartphone. Let’s just jump right in and check out what the smartphone has in-store for us.

Design and Display

The Google Pixel 3 XL is not entirely modern in its design with its big notch and a bit thick bezels, although not as thick as the Pixel 2 XL of last year. There is the omission of audio jack on the smartphone meaning you’ll have to make use of the USB Type-C port.

You should also appreciate the speaker on both the bottom and top of the screen (surround sound). It is available in Clearly White, Just Black and Not Pink which is actually pink.

You are in for a treat with the display on the Google Pixel 3 XL which is quite crisp and punchy. If you’re not a fan of the notch on the smartphone, you can always turn it off. The screen has a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels making the details on the smartphone appear vibrant and colourful. Unlike the timidly sized Pixel 3, the Pixel 3 XL goes bold with a 6.3-inch display.

Battery and Camera

Going by comparison, last year’s Pixel 2 XL has a bigger battery but at the same time the new software on the smartphone might prove to be the difference.  Anyways, the 3, 430mAh battery  is enough for an average user till the end of the day. It will works with any Qi wireless charger and has fast charging

Expectations for the camera on this smartphone is nothing short of stellar considering how good the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were in this area. Instead of having a dual rear camera which most times is the case, the Google Pixel 3 XL switched things up and comes with a dual front camera and just one rear camera.

At the front, there are two 8MP camera one standard and the other has a wide angle lens. The rear, however, houses a single 12.2MP camera that delivers adjustable bokeh effect, impressive low light capture, blacked out background while the subject remains coloured feature  and brightening of the picture while still retaining the original colour amongst other tweaks.

Hardware and Software

There’s practically no difference between the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL as regards the hardware and software. You’ll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and the arbitrary Adreno 630 GPU which is a top performer in the smartphone world.
