What are YOUR impressions of the Pixel 3/3 XL?

That's a deal ??????

Yep especially when Google is only offering $290 for the s9.

You've never been in a situation when you wanted to both use and charge your phone at the same time? I'm doing that right now as I'm typing this with a 6 ft cord. That seems kinda hard to do when docked, no?

Well... The idea here is that it is usually always either fully or almost fully charged because it's basically slays on a charger so...

Sorry. I don't follow. I often take my phone out places for many hours and it discharges. (Don't most people?). Then if I'm home for an hour and need to charge and use my phone I can. To me that's a feeling of freedom.

Ok I'll qualify my comment:. For me I generally place my phone on the wireless charging pad when I'm chilling at home or sitting at my desk at work. Hence it stays charged.

I don't however tend to plug in nearly as much so for me that means wireless charging equals fully charged more often.

Gotcha. Well I know a lot of people are happy it's made its way to the Pixels and I guess it's a good thing that Google is adding wanted features. It's something I personally don't care for at all (as I think I've made very clear) but it's very easy for me just to ignore. As long as manufacturers don't start ditching the charge port as they did the headphone jack...then I'd have to get my torch and pitchfork out. ;-)

It would appear that, if you have the new Google Wireless Charger, lining up correctly should be a piece of cake.

I was referring to other chargers. On the Pixel one it should line up better.

Pixel 3 proves that a single camera still can be POWERFUL

4GB of memory is not enough for a flagship in 2018.

I’m up for hardware upgrade, like the pixel 2 but at the time had a year left on my contract with a 7+. After the announcement and reveal, I’m really impressed by the pixel 3(not xl) and preordering it. It’s the perfect size device, doesn’t have a notch, has so many impressive features and the cost is very affordable ($380 less on contract than Xs). Very excited to get mine with the free stand

I liked everything much u except that bathtub notch in XL version, do Google really need to follow what apple sets

 

[Mike Dee]

I felt the exact same thing until I went all in on it. It's hard to explain the feeling of freedom wireless charging gives you. It's 100% not necessary in any way, but believe me, it's a (nice) thing.

I had wireless when it first came out....it was nice but with rapid charging I could live without it. It looks like Pixel will rapid charge wirelessly so that's possibly a plus. Just hope it doesn't generate too much heat.

They aren't using it for the same thing. In my opinion the Pixel 3 XL is using the space for a better purpose.

Agreed. We shall soon find out how it does. My "Stand" is ordered and shipped.

It's not about if the notch is well implemented, it's that its a hideous eyesore to many people.

It's the Terminator notch

Notchurally I have to agree.

Complaining about the notch here is a lot cheaper than addressing their real problems with a therapist.
