Is there any difference between 3 and 2 or is it the same? Looking at buying a Pixel phone because of the camera picture quality and wondering if no difference, I probably should get the pixel 2 xl then.
Thanks!
Thanks!
There are a few hardware differences and a few software differences, but the base resolution (12.2MP) is the same and they both include OIS.Is there any difference between 3 and 2 or is it the same?
Dang Sir. Now that's a 5 star quality answer. Thanks!!!There are a few hardware differences and a few software differences, but the base resolution (12.2MP) is the same and they both include OIS.
Hardware:
- Pixel 3/3XL uses a slightly different sensor (still trying to track down the darn model numbers)
- Pixel 3/3XL has a newer Pixel Visual Core (supposedly allowing better AI for processing, which gives it additional software features that are limited to this family)
- Pixel 3/3XL only uses dual-pixel phase detection for auto-focus (Pixel 2/2XL also uses laser range detection)
Software (features made possible by upgraded Pixel Visual Core)
Pixel 3/3XL supports Top Shot (multiple shots taken from one shutter press that may include a better pose or whatever; note that additional images don't have the same 12.2MP resolution as the original Pixel)
Pixel 3/3XL supports High Resolution Zoom (overlays multiple images to provide better detail when zoomed in vs traditional digital zoom)
And of course Pixel 3/3XL includes additional wide-angle front-facing camera.
If you want to save some $$$, the 2 takes some pretty amazing pictures. My iPhone addicted friends and family swoon over my pics and always want me to use my phone to take a pic and send to them!Is there any difference between 3 and 2 or is it the same?

My friend has a 2xl Panda 128gb. Almost brand new that I could buy for probably $300 (friend special deal). I am having hard time saying no to that.If you want to save some $$$, the 2 takes some pretty amazing pictures.

Wow, that's a fantastic deal. Bought my wife a Pixel 2 XL in the spring (she had a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) and she's been more than pleased.My friend has a 2xl Panda 128gb. Almost brand new that I could buy for probably $300 (friend special deal). I am having hard time saying no to that.

Get on that!
If he hasn't done it already, add Camera 3 (it's from an XDA dev - the Pixel 3 camera app modified for the 2), and you get Night Sight. You also get Top Shot (and you still have laser focus). About all you're missing is the slight improvement to the Visual Core (and I've never noticed any difference) and the high res zoom (although unless you're trying to read a license plate way down the block, I've never had a problem with).
I thought pixel 2 camera was updated with Night Shot. No?

Ya that would be a hard choice. Good luck!Done deal. Will have it Monday. $300 for 128 2XL Panda. Mint condition. I currently have OnePlus 6T. Love that phone. So so smooth and joy to use. I think it is gonna be a struggle which one to use. It is why I didn't want to get the 2XL
