Google’s new Pixel 3 is all about the AI

October 13 05:26 2018

And here in Asia, where people can’t afford to upgrade their phone every year or necessarily buy a new iPhone, picking up a Pixel on contract with a local carrier is starting to look like a very attractive, affordable, and reliable option. The Google Pixel 3 XL, on the contrary, shifts your status icons a step below which means that it creates an all-new layer below the black bar taking up space and thereby defeating the whole objective of a near bezel-free phone.

The new models retain the two-tone design of their predecessor but the backs of the phones are now made of glass to enable wireless charging. Google concentrated on the new AI (Artificial intelligence) which made the phone super powerful. That said, our information should help you decide if the Pixel 3 XL is even worth the short wait, or if you should just go get a Galaxy S9+ today, or even the Note 9 for that matter. There was a lack of mention of new hardware technology for this new phone other than wider angle cameras. Among other key takeaways from the presser was Google rolling out an update in its revolutionary AI, Google Assistant that will now be able to screen out spam calls, reply to them and the launch of Google Playground.

Apart from this, the two high-end flagships released by Google itself came out in October 2017 with the latest Android OS, Android 8.0 “Oreo”, which is upgradable to Android P. Contrary to the prevailing trends in the industry of fitting smartphones with up-to 5 cameras, rather than adding more lenses to the rear camera, Google is using AI to make your photos look better. But it lacks a zoom lens on either side, something available on some iPhones and Samsung phones. Well, Google is here for you on that: The company is making a special stand for the Pixel 3 that basically turns it into an always-listening smart display. The Pixel 3 comes in three colors: Just Black, Clearly White, and Not Pink.

If we talk about Google’s motive of developing high-end smartphones, then Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL are the prime examples.

What has changed with the Pixel 3 XL is the front camera, which is now hidden in the notch. Similarly, the Pixel 3 XL has its screen lit up by 2960 x 1440 pixels while the iPhone Max with a slightly bigger display has a smaller 2688 x 1242 pixel count. This is a particularly hot topic, given that Google has added a dual objective camera to the front of both phones. Also, it houses one of the two front-firing speakers and other sensors. Available in two versions of 64GB and 128GB, the Pixel XL 3 is available in India for Rs.83,000 and Rs.93,000. Under the hood, both new Pixel models are expected to have a SoC, along with Adreno 630 GPU and 4GB of RAM.

Google has now affirmed that the new navigation technique won’t just be the default in the organization’s most recent lead, yet the main navigation strategy in the handset. This notch is the reason why it faced a lot of criticism post-release.
