The camera bump is tiny, especially when compared to the latest iPhones.
Within this smooth glass, you’ll find the rear camera (and there is only one), depth sensor and flash. As you don’t touch the phone up here, the change in material has no effect on the ergonomics of the phone, and provides a nice, subtle contrast. It’s quick enough and falls easily to hand, but can occasionally be a bit finicky, which makes the lack of facial recognition or iris scanning more apparent.Ībove the fingerprint scanner, the glass changes from the grippy, matte finish to a smooth, glossy material. In line with the power button on the rear, there’s the fingerprint reader. There are two buttons adorning the aluminum frame of the Pixel 3 XL: A typical white volume rocker and a mint green power button, providing a nice flash of color on the white frame. The washed-out and lifeless displays of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, at least at launch, are long gone.
Watching videos and playing games is a genuine treat, with deep blacks and excellent contrast without feeling over-saturated. It’s constructed of super strong Gorilla Glass 5 and supports HDR. It has a Quad-HD+ resolution (2960×1440) with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Round the front, you’ve got the 6.3-inch OLED display. We tried the ‘Clearly White’ version, and it looks and feels excellent – especially when compared to the slippery glass rears on Apple’s recent iPhones. Round the back, you’ve got a long, matte-finished pane of glass. The bottom bezel isn’t huge, but isn’t as slim as, say, a Samsung S9 or iPhone XS. The grille is long, running to about a third of the width of the overall phone, but it’s slim, so it’s not too too large for its own good. Head up the phone, and you’ll find the microphone/speaker grille along the bottom-front bezel. At the base of the Pixel 3 XL, there’s a nano-sim tray and a USB-C port - but no headphone jack. Let’s start from the bottom and work our way up.
