This may be an issue of the P3 having 600 and 700 MHz band support, but I get full LTE coverage in my office in a high-rise building where my Nexus 6 used to cut out on T-mobile. Nice improvement.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] icstrim1:
I can confirm that it is bellow the P20 in this category.

But nothing serious. Will compare further if I get the chance.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] YorbenB:
it's good, no complaints here. then again i live in the netherlands which has a full lte coverage.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] tauio111:
Only a handful of countries/networks have CA combinations defined for them.

3x CA LTE-A works on those that are defined, otherwise you will stay on 2x CA max.

4x CA is only defined in a few MBNs (Vodafone DE and some French ones seem to be the only ones in Europe).

2x CA on uplink is not supported.

Here is a list for CA combinations on the Pixel 3/XL.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B1tN9uw5aKy4LNWF5R7_KZ8WYzzdMALSzsJH9qwpVMA/edit#gid=0

Otherwise 256QAM and 4x4 MIMO work fine. Reception wise its ok too.

It is however not the phone you would use if you wanted to go hunting for 1gbit LTE.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] gfunkzero:
Hi guys not much info in here.. Did some research and turns out Pixel 3 phones are notorious for poor signal and call quality. Looking at how long the issue has been around for I'd put it down to actual hardware not being up to scratch. If you need a phone with good reception and/or make calls frequently then give this one a miss.

I cant post links for some reason? but look at issue 124412355 on google issue tracker

[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] psychomaniac82:
I think this is a nice video to watch. The video shows there isn't much difference between the 3 and the 3xl. Way better then the rest and last year's pixels though.

Coming from a pixel 1 to this... yeah the speakers are way better. I was using DuoLingo on speaker while cooking and could clearly understand what was being said without needing it cranked all the way up.

I used my Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth headphones for the first time with the Pixel 3 yesterday while I was walking. They're *much* louder and the audio is better quality than with my old Nexus 5. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] georgiapi:
I tested the ring tone speaker volume and they were very weak but a UTube video was loud.

Has anyone added custom ringtones that match the media volume?
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] jwbok1:
Wheres the outrage on the phone ring volume, first and formost this is a phone. If you cant hear the thing ring what good is your phone. Demand that the fix this problem. What does it tell you that a media sound is louder that your ring tone?
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] Note10.1Dude:
Speaker is clear, but speakerphone volume is not as loud as my Nexus 6 was.
[Google Pixel 3 Real Life Review] RonnieJP:
The notification, ringtone and alarm volumes are abysmally low. In anything but a totally silent environment, they are not loud enough to be hear if the phone is in a pocket or purse. I submitted a request for this on Google Issue Tracker website

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/121304984 (sorry, you'll need to copy and paste - new users can't post hyperlinks)

but it was ultimately rejected as "won't fix (intended behavior)".

These sounds only emit from the bottom speaker by design. This was the development team's response:

"This is "speaker safe" mode, in which any sounds that could surprise the user shouldn’t go blasting out of the main speaker. As the user reported, one implementation is using secondary speaker instead of the one in the ear area. We appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately as of now, we will need to decline this as "working as intended"."

This is unacceptable, since it should only be implemented when the user has the phone to his/her ear when on a voice call.

Otherwise these sounds should emanate from both speakers to provide the necessary volume.

Thank you, it worked!

Now instead of that ugly message i have the original boot with unlocked pad, and instead of empty battery image in fastboot mode i have the bunny logo back.

I tried in adb with fastboot command: fastboot flash logo logo.img (not bin).

Thank you very much, Regards!

Check post #6

Download that logo.rar, unrar it and copy the logo.img in Folder adb on your computer (you have to install adb installer on your PC-look for it here on XDA).

Put your phone in fastboot, connect it to PC, open adb from PC and make the command: fastboot flash logo logo.img

That's how i did it!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] Mister-B:
I've owned the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 6P, both of which were great devices. What's so special about the 3XL? There's nothing in it that isn't found in phones that are way cheaper. For those of you shouting about vanilla android, there is no vanilla android any more. Even Google now includes features that aren't found in any other version of android. But the thing that annoys me the most about pixel phones is Google's price policy. Why oh why are these phones 30% more expensive in Europe?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] freebee269:
i just watched unbox therapy's video of the pixel 3 xl. to be honest i like it. yes the notch is bigger than others but it doesnt seem to bother me. maybe i'm too used to it from my iphone x. i wish the area on the sides of the notch would hold more information, but that is where xda comes in. i'm sure some developers can put more info there with their roms. the camera looks amazing. the screen quality finally looks up to par with samsung even though it's still an LG screen. you can tell they have matured their oled screens fast. the build quality looks really good. that soft gorilla glass on the back that doesnt attract finger prints looks like a nice touch. i'm going to objectively give this device a try instead of blindly following the masses of haters. but based of the videos i've watched already i think this device will end up being a great one.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] TomTanderson:
Why do people keep asking why we pay more for phones in Europe? In Europe we pay VAT which adds about 20% to the cost of just about everything. It may not account for all the price difference but it accounts for the majority of it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] wolfmannight:
Overall Phones are good with price range. Nothing to hate about it. Phone has lot more than other phones with that price range. I had good experience with Pixel 2 XL. Phones are worthy to buy.

People hate about notch trend but I say its only way to cover screen on front. About some trends you will used to it. its not making problem in functionality.

I have Pixel 2 XL why I should by Pixel 3 XL ?

Plus about this phones is Snapdragon 845 , Titan M security module and Wireless Charging in Hardware. + ( Notch some people not like it )

about notch google will provide option to disable notch like one plus 6.

Pixel Cameras are always awesome then others with that price.

I believe Pixel users are 95% genuine users who uses almost every feature that company provide.

Not like iPhone users wasting lots of parent's money to show off just a logo.

Apple call their eco system it is like handcuffs to buy their won stuff and 30% features not work if you don't have other apple products.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] motoridersd:
Got my 3 XL yesterday. I'm coming from a 2 XL so I expected a slight upgrade, but I'm finding a lot of things I love that I didn't expect.

- Tap to wake is WAY faster than on the 2. Having both side by side, the 3 wakes up a full second before the 2.

- The screen on the 3 looks sooo good. Crisper even. I never had any complaints about my 2 XL's screen, but I can tell the 3 XL is definitely better

- Speakers are noticeably better. Not sure about how loud they get, but the sound is richer on the 3 than the 2. The 2 is tinnier.

- Wide Angle Selfie camera is pretty cool

- Low light photos are noticeably better. This I didn't expect to notice as much, but a side by side comparison of the same photo with the two phones shows a noticeable improvement. The 2's photo looks duller than the 3. They might look the same after some post processing, but the 3's photo looks great without any touchups.

- Not phone related, but the Google Fabric case covers more of the bottom of the phone than the 2's did.

The only thing I have NOT liked is that with the notch, the number of notification icons in the status bar has been reduced to three, meaning 2 and a dot if you have more. If I reduce the display size to the lowest one, I can get three and a dot. The 2 XL has 4 and a dot. Hopefully we can figure out a way to turn off the clock. I never use it and I'd gladly give it up in exchange for more icons.

After I got the phone I realize it is so much better than expected. And the software polish and hard ware polish is next level

Very nice but some complaints

Just got my Pixel 3 XL last night and was impressed with the look and feel. I'm coming from the original Pixel XL. No notch complaints here. I was happy with everything until I got in my car. I have a Jeep JL with Android Auto. I was expecting the two to come together as expected but nothing happened. Spent time changing usb cables. I see power on the Pixel but no love from Android Auto. I'm hoping I just need to go to the dealership for a firmware upgrade or something but its disappointing that it just didn't work.

The only other thing I don't like is the double swipe up to get to the app drawer. Not sure how I feel about it.

With that said my complaints are minor. SOOOO many cool features that like.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] rsbenedict:
My 2017 CRV also had trouble the first time I tried to use Android Auto. No map showed up, it gave me an ETA and the first turn arrow, but the only thing that updated was the ETA which was WAY off. When I got to my destination, I restarted the phone and the car, and on my way home, it worked as it normally does.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] bobbyphoenix:
OK, so this may be biased, but I'm 100% in love with this phone. This is my first pixel phone, and I'm coming from a mid/budget phone, so that may make all the difference, but from the looks, the feels, the screen, the new gestures, the smoothness, the speakers, the call quality, the battery life, to whatever else this phone is, and can do, I love it. I've never had such a great experience from day one on any other phone, and I've been on Android since I got a Nexus One on day one. To me this phone is perfect. There is not one thing I can think of to complain about (OK I do have one. Have the phone either a bit thicker, or find another way to make the camera bump on the back flush).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] rmclark12:
Coming from a Oneplus 3T here. I am going through an RMA right now for the speaker issue, just to put that out there. With that aside, I love the phone otherwise. My only concern going in was the battery to be honest. The battery was larger than my 3T but still smaller than last year. It is a great phone. A great improvement over my 3T, which was still one of the best phones I've had.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] Aaditya91:
Overall impression so far.

Got the phone on Friday, October 19, 2018.

1. Good build quality (better than 2 XL); feels rigid & premium in hand. The frosted glass back is really smooth & good to touch. Better that my ex's skin.

2. Battery life is pretty good too. Same or better than 2 XL. First cycle (WiFi only): from 96%; SOT: 5 hr 10 min in 1 day 10 hrs with 16% to go. It will ofc get better with more cycles & as it learns more. Also, the battery is smaller than that of 2 XL & powers a bigger & better screen & louder speakers.

3. Cameras. Need not say anything. :)

4. Screen: it is a Samsung panel on the 3 XL, performs like one. Really good. No black clipping for me except maybe on mobile data when speeds are low. That is more like a buffering and pixel issue but no black clipping. Could happen on any phone.

5. I really like the included USB-C Pixel buds; took me 10 minutes to get the right fit & learn to use them (fit them); follow the animations in the first time setup. They are really good. Good bass too.

6. Charging time using charger included in box: from 16% to 100%: around 1 hour 40 minutes. WiFi on. AOD on.

7. Notch: got used to it already & not noticeable anymore. I don't play games on the phone at all.

8. The speakers: a minor issue of imbalanced audio(bottom grill is louder) but no buzzing for me & no muffled sound either. Fixable via software update.

9. RAM management: it is bad rn; fixable by software update as the cause has already looks to be the kernel `lowmemoryKiller` as per some sources when you google.

I see 0 hardware based issues with the phone (apart from notch which is bad design & not an issue for me at least). Other issues will be addressed via an update. I see better performance in the future already. Even the pixel 2 xl got better with updates (at least for me).

Buying the Pixel stand soon.

TL;DR: Love it. Keeping it. :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review] mtva24:
Like the phone...my only issues are with the display brightness and sometimes ram management. My conspiracy is that google dimmed the screen in order to avoid a crappy battery. 100% on this is like 65% on my iphone. Other than that, I love the speakers! Not sure if it's worth the $900

I remember when in the Nexus days, everyone said that all vanilla Android needed was a great camera and it'd be perfect. Google listened and produced pixel line with best camera, 3 generations in a row now. Now all anyone can do is nitpick the hardware. I think Google has achieved what most enthusiasts were after.

overall i like it, price should drop $300+ - Pixel 3 XL crosshatch 128 black G013C

What: Google Pixel 3 XL crosshatch 128 black G013C

good/great:

camera

camera software

free storage of pictures and video

nice to have included earbuds

screen is decent and not overwarm like apple's off white warm screen tones. proper whitebalance, maybe slightly blue, but a very good screen.

fast - fast booting, fast behavior

not so good / annoying:

4 gb ram @ $1000 price point?

128 vs 256/512 ssd at $1000 price point?

no sd card slot - give it a rest google.

included earbuds done noise cancel. why in the world would they do that?

i cant see where 300-400 dollars went for a phone that costs $1000 + $129 in preferred care

insultingly overpriced wireless earbuds

insultingly overpriced wireless dock

insultingly overpriced accessories in general by screwgle.

drm on Qi / fake Qi charging - 10 watts in the drm mode isnt even enough let alone be enough in the drm-allowed mode. 5W is just pathetic.

included wired charger isnt as good as previous pixel chargers. should include the big dual port charger from the pixel c

ifixit score is terrible (4 of 10). right to repair legislation is going to be needed - an industry wide problem - sad to see in a $1000 phone

audio jack missing - why do this?

faceunlock - i do have an iphone X from work (they gave it for free) - i do enjoy that feature.

bad:

- notch is just stupid. its stupid on the X, XS and on 3XL. stop the god damned notches. i just shut the notch off in developer options so its just a waste of pixels but its just poor design.

- pie having that idiotic gesture system and its forced (no developer or hidden option to go back). just copy the iphone's gesture system and be done with this moronic one

overall im happy because $1000 for me isnt breaking the bank but there are plenty of people where $1000 is a bit on the high side and this phone just doesnt deliver that value. its a nice phone and im happy with it - best android has to offer and camera is the most important feature - but google is a jerk, sundar pichai is a greedy jerk and a bad CEO. when i think of sundar pichai i think of a jerk who is also a spineless milquetoast. when i think of Steve Jobs i think of a jerk who was obsessed with aesthetics, beauty, ease of use, wanting to be best of breed, form and function, etc. google needs a better CEO. sundar pichai is a greedy jerk who needs to work at this harder than he does or let someone good take his place
