Google Pixel 3 Specifications and Price

The last year Pixels are still putting up a big fight with some flagships of 2018 when it comes to photography. You can imagine what the Google Pixel 3 Xl and Pixel 3 that happen to ships with more capable camera will be in that department. Well i will tell you, they are king at least when it comes to taking pictures as it is a whole new story when it comes to shooting videos with it.

Pixel 3 and its XL variants are one of the best smartphones launched in the just passed tech month (October) of 2018 that saw the announcement of series of tech gadgets and upgrade of operating systems (Windows, iOS, MacOS, WatchOS).

The 2018 pixels ships with the same software and hardware with the exception of screen size, screen resolution and battery. In 2018, manufacturers are getting smarter as the only discrepancies between their big and small phones are in screen and battery. That’s a nice and welcome development if you ask me. However, i will still love it if they can find way to squeeze in the same battery.
