Pixel USB-C Earbuds review: Nothing Special

Eric Frederiksen 3 years ago

Usually when I dig into headphones, I'm looking at something from Sony, Sennheiser, Grado, or some other known quantities in the personal audio world. But right now, we're in a transitional period where phones are dropping headphone jacks left and right, forcing people to either go wireless or find a way to get noise from the phone's USB Type-C port up into their ears. USB Type-C...

Pixel 3 XL vs. Huawei Mate 20 Pro Camera Comparison

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

In 2018, the title of best mobile camera belongs to the Pixel 3. Google unveiled the device at an October event and though a lot of the initial talk was centered around its polarizing notch, all the attention is now focused on the fantastic camera. It consists of only one 12MP shooter in a sea of dual and triple camera systems. And to be honest, it’s not missing out on much. Google...

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

Google's Pixel phones are known to ship with issues, and most of them get fixed almost immediately. But the Mountain View-based company decided to ignore one for its latest flagship. Well, that's until now. There will be a soon-to-be-released software update for the Pixel 3 XL to stop its speakers from buzzing. Since it was released, the Pixel 3 XL earned criticism for this. The two...

Google is Finally Fixing the Pixel 3's Most Annoying Issue

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Last month, Google introduced the Pixel 3, the newest iteration of its Pixel smartphone line. It’s a great smartphone with a sleek design and terrific camera. That being said, it has not been without its faults and there is one bug in particular that Google is finally planning to fix. By far the biggest issue affecting the Pixel 3 is memory management. Even though the Pixel 3 features...

Pixel 3: Stress Test Calls Durability Into Question

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

The Pixel 3 is the first Google device to feature an all-glass back that allows for wireless charging. To keep the Pixel’s patented two-tone design, Google made a portion of the glass frosted to keep the signature look. Unfortunately, the device’s durability has been called into question as many users are discovering unwanted scratches. In adding the frosted glass, Google added a...

If This Is the Pixel 4, the Next iPhone Won't Stand a Chance

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

In the first two years of the Pixel line, Google made very questionable design choices that didn’t push the envelope. The company finally made some strides with the Pixel 3, but still dropped the ball in some areas, mainly the notch. What if Google made a phone that eclipsed all of our wildest expectations? A new Pixel 4 concept imagines what Google’s next phone could look like and it...

Read This if You Want to Use the Pixel 3's Wireless Charging Feature

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Google finally jumped on to the wireless charging wagon with its new Pixel 3 devices. It even supports fast wireless charging at 10W, but Google just took a drastic and disappointing step to limit the feature to just one charger, and that’s conveniently its own Pixel Stand. The limitation of fast wireless charging was first spotted by a Reddit user who noticed the Pixel 3 was not...

Verizon's Pixel 3 Policy is the Reason We Can't Have Nice Things (Update)

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Verizon is proving that it just can’t get out of its own way when it comes to its customers. The carrier is the only one of the four major U.S. carriers to offer the Pixel 3 and 3 XL devices, but a new policy is making the process of using the phones with other carriers very difficult. Potential Pixel 3 customers who buy the phone outright at full price from Verizon will be required to...

Google Really Wants the World to Know the Pixel 3 Exists

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Google last week revealed the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL and it’s wasting no time in letting the world know. Through two generations of the Pixel line, Google’s marketing has taken a backseat to other bigger smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung. It does advertise its phones, but not to the level as those other companies. That’s changing with the Pixel 3 and Google is ready to get the...

Here's How to Hide the Pixel 3 XL's Uncommonly Large Notch

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Google this week unveiled the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Given the frequency of leaks in the weeks leading up to the event, nothing about the phones was all that surprising. Still, we were dismayed by the Pixel 3 XL’s forehead, which is uncommonly big, even for notches. There’s no way around, it is a very polarizing design choice and Google understands this, which is why it included the...

The Pixel 3 is Google's Best Phone, Not the Pixel 3 XL

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Google this week showed off its newest smartphone duo, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, confirming all of the leaks were true, most notably (and unfortunately) the Pixel 3 XL’s notch. Shuffling through pictures and getting a close up view of the two devices, I came away with one thought: the Pixel 3 is Google’s best phone, not the Pixel 3 XL. This sentiment is not ordinary. The bigger...

Pixel 3 XL vs. iPhone XS Max: Google Takes Aim at Apple

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

The newly announced Pixel 3 XL is Google’s answer to the iPhone XS Max. There is no escaping Apple’s popular smartphone and to keep up Google borrowed some of its best features while adding a few wrinkles that will help differentiate it. Unlike past iterations, the Pixel 3 XL seems to have grown up to its full potential. Gone is the all-metal design that most flagships have long...
