I bought the 128 GB White P3XL. What did you get?

Bought two pixel 3s 64GB for the price of one through Verizon deal. Replacing my Galaxy S8 and sons Moto Z play.
 
It's only a $100 difference, $899 or $999 both are high so not big difference in price for me personally. I gladly pay $100 more for bigger screen and battery.

Exactly.... though it may impact some people I would decide based on which one I prefer and ignore the price. If you keep it two years that's about 4 dollars a month extra

Yep some people prefer smaller phones which is great but price is definitely not a factor between Pixel 3 and XL since this year they are very closely priced. Decide based on which one you prefer most.
 
I'll wait for a week or 2 until reviews start coming in. I just wanna make sure the pixel 3 XL is not plagued by anything like bad display on the pixel 2 XL. Just playing it safe.


The display on the Pixel 3/3XL is supposed a lot better which is great because the Pixel 2 XL screen was terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if Google are using Samsung's displays for the Pixel 3/3XL.

I'll probably grab the Pixel 3 regular. No way I'm getting the 3 XL with that notch, and their 'hide' feature is so ridiculous and makes no sense, I can't even fathom what they're thinking.
 
well.... after the visit to best but to check out the devices = Pixel3 order is canceled and 3XL is ordered.
 
What made you change to the 3XL? Notch not a big deal in person?

I was surprised at how comfortable the XL was to hold, expected it to feel bigger that it did. My old eyes enjoyed the larger screen and the notch wasn't even an issue for me - JMO.

ETA - If at all possible, I'd recommend a trip to Best Buy for a "hands on". Verizon stores might have some on display.

No one has tested the P3 publicly. The P3XL is, according to display mate, one of the best displays ever made. The notch thing is another conversation, one which I thought was over once you were proven to have been spreading misinformation. If that conversation is not over, can you please explain why?
 
Changed order to the XL, instead of the P3. The Stand will be here tomorrow. Haven't been this excited since my divorce back in 1980 - :D
 
128G Pixel 3XL - JUST Black
upgrading from Pixel XL (OG)
I see the justification in the Camera
Pixel 2 XL had a P OLED screen with lots of reported issues.
Pixel 3 XL is back to an AMOLED I hope there will not be in wild screen issues ( Burn in- Blue haze ectt)

Delivery date Nov 14-15

I spent an hour at the Verizon store this afternoon comparing my Pixel 2 XL with the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL.

I'm now totally satisfied that I made the right choice getting two Pixel 3 XL's for my wife and myself.

When holding my 2 XL and the 3 XL on exactly the same plane and then tilting from side-to-side, the blue shift on the 2 XL was quite noticeable and there was no color shift on the 3 XL. I compared using the first settings screen where there is a lot of white. (Although in actual use the shift on the 2 XL was never really a problem for me and I never thought about it.)

The whiteness, color vibrancy and brightness of the 3 XL was quite noticeably superior in a side-by-side comparison on the same images with my 2 XL. Both 2 XL and 3 XL were set to 100% brightness.

The notch is of no consequence whatsoever. YouTube videos didn't protrude into the notch. The kicker was when I read on DXO that you can go in to "Developer Mode" on the 3 XL and then you will have a new option to eliminate the notch. DXO showed a comparative photo side-by-side with the 2 XL and the option totally makes the screen in to a 2 XL screen, even to the rounded top and bottom corners. I'm satisfied that if I do end up being bothered by the notch that I can totally eliminate it with the new Developer Mode option.

Bottom line was that my visit to Verizon this afternoon totally eliminated any concerns I had about ordering the 3 XL. I'm now very much looking forward to delivery day!
