Dropped by Best Buy. Best Google display they have ever put out.
Saw the XL only in Black. The small 3 was out in Pink and White. The Not So Pink is definitely not for me. To call it Pink at all is an overstatement. More like a pinkish beige. The black is nice and has the most two tone look. I was apprehensive on the white because it looked bland during the leaks but a little better during the event and on the Google store. In person the white is more stunning. The black is nice but I don't think it's much different from the 2 series except it's all glass. The satin part of the phone actually looks more like an extremely dark grey and the glossy finish is jet black. This gives it distinctive two tone look. The white looks very similar in color from top to bottom and the only contrast and distinction is the gloss.
The notch looks less intrusive in person, however I didn't have any apprehension to it to begin with. I couldn't disable the notch because DEV mode requires a password. The screen is very nice and I didn't notice any blue shift but I forgot to deliberately look for it. If it was present I would have noticed because I did have on a light background and did view it at different angles. The display unit was on at Max brightness soI imagine it will end up with burn in.
