The minimal design makes it elegant device and all glass constriction adds more beauty to it. The glass has been incorporated in a way it's never been used before in a phone.

The new P-OLED screen is vibrant and emits popping colors. We played YouTube videos on the device including some 4k content and it mesmerized us by the color explosion and brightness. The new Pixel also has wireless charging capability.

Pixel 3 catches all the attention because of its camera, though it has only one 12.2 MP rear shooter, which is exactly opposite to the trend of dual camera setup. Of course, phones with dual cameras are performing really well in capturing various shots, nevertheless, pixel’s image processing turn this one of the best camera mobile devices.

While processing image Google uses multiple image shots to merge them into one to produce enlarge phone using Super Res Zoom. In portrait mode, it enables user to adjust the focus precisely, depth of field and colour saturation. Using the Animation or Motion mode, it let the user choose the best shot. The lowlight shots of pixel 3 are amazing, even without using flash image quality is quite impressive.

The phone allows you to capture beautiful images using AI, in this mode smartphone make its own decision for settings of the camera and capture images in different light condition with the fair amount of brightness, colour depth, etc.

It has a new gesture-based navigation system, which is the default way of getting around on Google's latest flagship but not necessarily all Pie-powered phones. Squeezing the pixel can summon Google Assistant. Pixel also stands out of the crowd with its features including sunrise alarm, meaning a subtle glow to the screen that increases intensity right before you wake up.

Pixel 3 is equipped with Snapdragon 845 SOC coupled with 4GB RAM offering pleasant experience. 4 GB may sound less, but it’s just a number, you won’t see any performance issue while using the phone. We stuffed the mobile device with multiple apps and games to test its real-world performance. It managed all the apps and games easily.

We played high graphics intensive games such as Asphalt Xtreme and PUBG. Pixel 3 managed both the games smoothly without any visible performance lag. Even while switching between apps and games, we didn’t notice any lag in the performance.

Google Pixel 3 Review: Battery life

Pixel 3 is backed by a 2915 mAh battery that can last for a whole day with moderate usage (internet surfing, videos, games, etc.). in our battery loop test, it was able to play video for more than 10 hours in one full charge.
