Customer Ratings & Reviews

The PIxels have world-renowned cameras for a reason as it is, and now that you I've gotten to try the Night Mode a little earlier than the actual release... I need everyone to know that in low light this phone is absolutely magic. Check the attached photos for a regular and a Night Mode comparison. Beyond the camera, though, this simply is the best performing Android phone, period. You'll see phones with more RAM, newer processors, etc. etc. but the Pixels always stutter less and load faster. It's the special Google sauce that makes this phone a keeper for me and that's why I'll never go back to Samsung and my work iPhone will collect dust.

I was a Samsung fan person for many years always getting the Note line of phones... until I got the Note 7 which was the best phone i ever owned... until it got recalled(potential to catch fire)... so I switched over to the original Google Pixel XL two years ago thinking I would jump on the Note 8 when it came out... but no, the original Google Pixel XL worked flawless and fast and never bogged down and no bloatware just pure Android and Google updates always fast and timely. Now two years later I was sitting at Best Buy the sales person had the Note 9 in front of me writing up the paperwork and I took one look back at the Pixel 3 XL and told him to stop and let me get the Pixel 3 XL I am not sure why I can't put my finger on it exactly the Note 9 is an awesome phone and after my Note 7 I though I would miss the pen that comes with the Note line but I did not... The notch on the Pixel 3 XL is not that bad once you have it a week or two as a matter of fact I have shown people my phone and if I don't mention the notch they don't notice it... but the phone is just awesome, fast, unlimited cloud for Pictures and Videos, the best camera of all the 2018 flagship phones and not one ounce of bloatware on it and some of the Google extras like Screen Calls, Google Assistant and the use of the Pixel Stand ... I hate when I have apps on my phones that I will never use and I can't delete them it is like having SiriusXM on your car you keep seeing the icon and you don't use it drives me nuts but that is just me! With the deal I got from Best Buy plus it came with the Pixel stand(79.00 dollar value) it was a no brainier and a decision that I don't regret staying with the Google line of Pixel phones.

This is my first departure from Samsung and it was the Pixel 3XL or the Note 9 (which my wife has) and I love it. I love the native Android experience and the ease of use with the new Pie OS. It's fast and has NO carrier bloatware which is one of the main reasons I chose this phone. Takes amazing pictures and the new night shot is incredible!

I previously had a Nexus 6P, then a Pixel XL, then a Pixel 2 XL. The 3 XL is exactly as expected. Noticeably faster than the 2 in everyday tasks (e.g. navigating my unified email folder that was becoming laggy on the 2). It could be my case, but the phone feels thinner in my hand. The new navigation with the "pill" took me all of 2 days to get used to, so that was fine too. Most importantly, there is no manufacturer bloat and updates come quickly, so it's as secure as an Android phone is going to get, which is my primary reason for buying it. I've read about the excellent low-light pictures, but I haven't had a chance to try it out. I expect that will be a nice plus as well. I will say, the new Note does look nicer lying on a table (I haven't actually used one), so you might want to check that out before committing to this. If you've had a Pixel before, this is probably exactly what you'd expect to get.

I just replaced my original Pixel XL with the Pixel 3 XL. I loved the original and it's only been a week but I love this one as well. I have had many brands of Android phones over the years but there is nothing better than a straight Android experience. I love that I get new versions of Android and fixes and updates quicker than any other phone. I extensively use Android Auto, Google Maps, Google home and everything just works great together. Love the new camera, the screen, the speed. I thought the notch would bother me but it really doesn't bother me much. I just cuts off some of the notification bar but not a big deal because no matter how you look at it you have to pull down the notification shade anyway to see what's in the notifiction. So not really missing anything that the notch blocks.

I've always been an Android guy and have been using Android since it came out years ago. 2 years ago, I bought a Pixel (before that was Nexus, before that Samsung and Moto) and it was time to upgrade. Almost made the switch to Apple just to try something different but as I was in the store trying to make up my mind, when I thought about the hassle of switching over to Apple, I went with the Pixel 3 XL. No regrets! The phone runs smoothly, it's quick, the screen is beautiful, has wireless charging, and it takes amazing pictures. Comes with a headphone jack adapter that works with Square, too. Definitely recommend!

I am a bit of a phone snob, and very picky. This device checks all of my boxes. Its fast, screen looks great, notch is indeed bigger than anything i have seen before, but after a few days no longer seems to be any obstruction. fingerprint scanner is in a great location, wireless charging, front firing stereo speakers, and loaded with more features than i could ever even use. I love it.

Love this phone! The camera is amazing and Google's new low light camera feature is amazing! The phone is fast and responsive and moving my apps and files over fromy previous phone (a Samsung Galaxy S7) was very easy with the included adapter and instructions. I like that this model of the pixel also comes with wired headphones and includes the adapter for them. It's a great, reliable phone!

I switched to Pixel 3XL primarily for its reknown camera but after about 2 weeks with this phone, I realize that I now love it even more because of its other qualities. First, it is super fast despite its 4GB of RAM (which on paper is inferior to some of its competitors); I haven't experienced any trouble operating and navigating across several apps. Second, google assistant brings the phone experience to another level of convenience, from basic stuff such as replying texts and setting up routines, to more interesting stuff like the screen call function. Speaking of which, this screen call function nails it for me. Think of it, now I can troll those companies who often annoy with those random phone calls :). Last, the Pixel 3XL's AI and machine learning capabilities are on point. I'm always amazed at how fast it learns and adapts to my preferences and habits!

Very fast phone, screen is a huge upgrade over the pixel 2, that is the biggest upgrade. The camera is better but not a lot better, the front facing camera though is way better than the 2. The extra screen space is nice too, xl is still not too big. Good phone, very impressed

Pixel XL3 is easily the best phone that I've ever had. I've used the S4, S7 and Note 4 as well as iPhone. Great camera, very fast, awesome screen, cleaner features over Samsung. The notch is actually nice for the icons. Saved $450 so it really was a great deal!

Its best feature is its camera, but it also has a nice looking screen, a snappy processor, better-than-expected battery life, and great Google software. As a former Palm webOS user, I love the new gestures and swipe-up "card" view that are so reminiscent of webOS.

This phone is pretty fast. Turns on quickly, turns off quickly. You'll be one of the first to receive any android updates. At roughly $600 this phone is worth it. If you are in the market for a new smartphone, you should consider this phone. It costs less then other flagship phones and performs just as well as the top of the line phones

From call connectivity, bluetooth connections, speed switching apps, outstanding camera, zero manufacturer bloatware, and running Android 9 Pie upgraded supported through October 2021... It's is hand down the best mobile device I've ever owned.

phone is great. fast, smooth, battery is great, and camera is amazing. only issue is all glass design makes you not want to go without a case. if you have a pixel 2xl is not worth the upgrade, if you have any other phone it definitely is

Upgraded to the Pixel 3XL from a Moto X Pure that took a long dive off a short walk (it jumped out of my pocket into the deep end of a pool ;_; ) From the moment I turned it on I was instantly impressed by how quickly it started up, and how responsive it was in general. I really loved the X Pure, but this is really a level up. I could do without the glass back, Qi charging is a nice idea that I haven't been able to take advantage of yet but I'm not sure it outweighs the glass. The notch isn't terrible, but I wouldn't mind one without it. The camera really is amazing though. I primarily shoot with a DSLR, but as they say "the best camera is the one you have with you" and for a number of situations the Pixel 3XL is a more than workable as a substitute for the DSLR.

Phone, overall, is outstanding! Camera is second-to-none, battery is exemplary for the size of the phone, screen is great (could be a tad better in direct sunlight), speed is amazing... All in all an amazing phone!

I upgraded from the Pixel XL to the Pixel 3XL and love it. The processor is quick, the battery life is outstanding and the camera is the best on the (cell phone_ market.

I've had this phone for 2 months now, it's very quick and responsive. I had the original pixel xl and upgraded to the 3 XL. I use it with my connected devices and Google home and I love the convenience it offers. I bundled the pixel stand with a new case and car charger and saved some money. Porting from my old phone to new phone was seamless, I have a lot of work apps that require special security features and they connected without difficulty. All of my Bluetooth devices connected easily as well. I use the phone with a Bluetooth headset working a 10 hour day and have more than 50% battery at the end of the day.

This phone is fast, easily customized to suit your needs, and best of all, it is guaranteed to receive the latest Android updates for 3 full years. It already starts out with the latest version OS. ( Android Pie). I'm not one to chase the latest trends so I was looking for the best value and longevity available. All the bonuses of being a Google product are wonderful. The camera is great. It takes some time to optimize the phone but there is a wealth of help tips and support available.
