I had very high hopes when I took delivery of my Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL review units, and at first it seemed like they delivered. While neither model features a truly modern “all-screen” design, the Pixel 3 XL at least came closer than any other Pixel phone that came before it. The design of the XL model was otherwise gorgeous though, and the true appeal of Pixel phones is always software. Google’s “pure” Android experience is unencumbered by vendor UI layers and unnecessary or unwanted apps. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are fast and powerful, and they’re a pleasure to use for the most part. Unfortunately, a wave of bugs and other issues caused a bunch of headaches for early adopters, and users are still waiting for fixes to most of the Pixel 3’s problems. Long story short, the Pixel 3 has been a disappointment so far.
Thankfully, the Android market is nothing like the iPhone market so users have plenty of other options to choose from. And if you ask me, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL wouldn’t even be the best Android phones of the year even if they launched without a single bug. That designation goes to the newly launched OnePlus 6T, and it just went on sale today in a stunning new color that’s unlike anything else out there in the US right now.
