Shortly after its release, one of the biggest controversies that popped up for the larger Pixel 2 XL was its poor display. We have an LG-made OLED panel once again, but the year-over-year difference is huge. Google's touting 400+ nits of brightness for both phones, 2X less burn-in potential, and less color shifting. There are still three different color profiles to choose from so you can fine-tune your experience, and out of the box, both the Pixel 3 and 3 XL have been optimized so that their displays look identical next to one another.

Google's probably the best when it comes to naming its device colors, and for the Pixel 3 we have Just Black and Very White. However, our favorite has to be a pink hue that's been aptly named "Not Pink." All three colors are available for both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL no matter where you decide to buy them.

For the Pixel and Pixel 2, Google used a mixture of aluminum and glass on the back of its phones. With the Pixel 3, Google shook things up by adopting an all-glass construction. There's still an etched section near the top that adds a nice matte finish that allows for more grip and fewer fingerprints. Google's also integrated Qi wireless charging support and selling a new Pixel Stand wireless charging accessory that'll charge the Pixel 3 + 3 XL and put them into a new "dashboard" UI that shows a slideshow of pictures on Google Photos and various Assistant info.

The Pixel 2 and 2 XL had some of the best cameras we'd ever seen on a smartphone, and with the Pixel 3, Google made the camera experience even better. Perhaps the biggest change included the addition of a second front-facing camera. This allowed access to a regular and wide-angle lens for all of your selfies and portrait mode works no matter which one you use. Google also integrated an algorithm to remove any distortion caused by the wider lens. Other changes include: 40% faster HDR+ processing

Improved detail retention while zooming

Night Sight mode improves low-light shots

Top Shot mode captures multiple frames before and after your picture and then recommends an alternative shot compared to what you actually captured Along with all this, Google Lens is also built right into the Pixel 3's camera app and works automatically when it detects something. The phone is now running Android 10

When the Pixel 3 was first released, it shipped with Android 9 Pie. These days, however, the phone is running the latest and greatest build of Android 10. All of the expected Android 10 goodies are available on the Pixel 3, including the new gesture navigation, dark mode, and more. The software experience on the Pixel 3 is as good as you'll find, and it's still going to get better as time goes on. The Pixel 3 lineup comes with three years of guaranteed updates, meaning it'll keep getting new software through October 2021. Android 10: Everything you need to know!

The Pixel 3 and 3 XL are flagship phones through and through, but what's a person to do if they want 80% of the Pixel experience while spending hundreds of dollars less? That's where the Pixel 3a series comes into play. Released in May 2019, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL are trimmed-down versions of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL in every single way. They have a lower-end processor, a plastic design instead of a glass one, and a lower-resolution display. However, all of those cutbacks also result in considerably lower price tags. What's really exciting about the Pixel 3a handsets is that they have the exact same rear camera found on the flagship Pixel 3. In other words, pictures look phenomenal and worlds better than what's capable on other similarly-priced devices. The 3a and 3a XL are two of the best value offerings in the Android space, and for our more budget-conscious readers, are definitely worth a look. Google Pixel 3a: Everything you need to know!
