      Pixel 3 XL, Just Black, 128gb, Unlocked. I wanted the XL because I finally wanted to go for a bigger phone for once, and I also wanted that extra battery life. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S8 I've had since it launched last March and the battery life for it is quite mediocre nowadays. I can't wait to have not only a phone with a bigger battery, but a Google phone that is way more optimized for longer battery life and longevity.

    Just figured out what bugs me a bit about the android 9 gestures. The navigation bar takes up the exact same amount of space, so it just seems like alternatives to the existing buttons for no reason. Like gestures aren't inherently better than tapping a button. I hate iPhones, but compared to android 9, the gestures definitely feel a lot better (only the gestures.) and they actually removed what was previously bezel/"nav bar"/home button. If the pill took up less vertical space it would sit better with me, because there would actually seem to be a purpose for it instead of just replacing the exact functions of the nav bar with gestures because apple did it.

      This is exactly what ive been thinking since google announced it. the whole purpose of gestures is to get more screen real estate, and with this thing youliterally get none. It looks like they wanted to get a pill in there just cause its the cool thing to do; the only android brand that really understood what gestures are about is huawei with their mate 20 gestures. Zero on screen clutter, all functionalities and FINALLY the “slide from the sides to go back” that apple has had for ages. Hope they will come to my honor 10 too in november

      Samsung Galaxy phones have had these features for a long time even mid or low end Samsung phones have these features and Google the android maker is just catching up. No wonder so less people buys the pixel branded phones. Samsung Galaxy phones even allows one to adjust just the media volume by default or the call volume by default. Google Pixel isn't bad but it just doesn't justify its price it has far less features than Samsung Oneplus Sony or the competition but still costs more than them.

Also with Android q beta 3 and the actual release soon, this phone is getting good and every other flagship android.I have the pixel 3 and I would say it's a very smooth phone. I don't have any problems with it but I took a risk and downloaded Android q beta 3.
