This adds a “Screen Call” option to the typical “Accept” or “Decline” when a phone call comes in. Sick of automated telemarketing calls? Who isn’t? That’s why Google’s created a new feature called Call Screening. It’s a big screen, though, and as with any notched phone, it doesn’t technically get in the way of anything. By no means are we notch-shaming – it’s 2018, and we all have to open our minds (and screens) to accept the notch – but if the iPhone XS has horns, then the Pixel 3 has some full-blown bunny ears. The Pixel 3 XL, on the other hand, introduces a rather meaty notch into its display. While it still isn’t one of the thinnest bezels in the game (the stereo speakers no doubt have something to do with this), it’s a much better look overall for the Pixel 3. On the Pixel 3, Google has rounded the corners of the display and shrunk the surrounding bezels significantly. The most noticeable change is in the shape of the displays. Visually, the Pixels don’t look very different from their predecessors, at least in back. The matte-finished glass, while not prone to fingerprints like most glossy backs, can become dirty with grease pretty easily, requiring a wiping with liquid, or a lot of elbow grease, to properly clean off. This looks and feels nice in the hand the frosted finish of the lower portion lends some texture to the device, much like the “hybrid coating” of last year, but with a distinctly more premium, less plasticky feel. Speaking of this, the backs of the Pixels are now constructed entirely of a single piece of glass with a matte finish on bottom and a glossy finish up top to achieve the distinct, two-tone Pixel look. While Not Pink is clearly the new addition, Clearly White changes a bit too, becoming all-white instead of sporting last year’s black upper glass piece in back. The Pixels come in three cheekily-named colors: Just Black, Clearly White, and Not Pink. This too is the case with some of the most enviable, Pixel-exclusive features, including a call screening service for telemarketers, and the ability to have Google Assistant call restaurants and book reservations on your behalf.īy 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 smartphone yet achieve supremacy through software? Virtually all of the improvements and features on the new Pixel’s camera come via software, specifically AI. This year Google came out, guns-blazing, in a war many think the company was already winning – a war for photographic supremacy in the smartphone realm. Being a software-first company in a hardware world has its advantages, and Google intends to not let us forget that. While Pixel devices have become well-known for their smooth operation and enviable prowess in photography during this short period of time, Google has, over a longer period, established itself as an innovator. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL denote search giant Google’s third set of premium smartphones in just as many years.
