While this year's Pixels look similar to last year's, subtle design tweaks add more polish to the phones this time around. See all photos Pixel 3 design: Not refreshed, but refined And while the 6T's Nightscape retained the same, if not slightly more, details than the Pixel 3 XL, the Pixel's Night Sight feature is far better at lighting up dim scenes. But when I switched to the 3 XL's HDR+ enhanced mode, it outperformed the OnePlus 6T. There were times when the OnePlus 6T had a wider dynamic range than the Pixel 3 XL in its default mode, brightening and punching up colors more. It also retained more details with darker shadows than the Galaxy phones.

The Pixel also handled white-balance and its skin tones were more true to life than the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 at times. The colors are a tad more intense than you'd see on the iPhone XS, but not to a level that's unrealistic or exaggerated. In general, the Pixel 3 takes brilliant photos, capturing images that are detailed and clear. To improve its digital zoom, the Pixel combines several photos together and processes super detailed, zoomed-in shots. Top Shot, which works when you take 'Motion' pictures, looks for smiles and open eyes to recommend the best image in a series. It works extremely well, brightening up even the darkest of scenes and keeping objects in focus. Google improved the camera's low-light capabilities with a feature known as Night Sight.

New camera software also aims to improve photo quality. The Pixel 3 has a single 12.2-megapixel rear camera. And with its superlative, easy-to-use camera, the Pixel 3 is top-notch. It may not look as luxurious as the iPhone XS or Galaxy S9, but it enjoys the extra perks that come from being a Google phone, which include unlimited cloud storage and timely software updates.

At any rate, if all these phones are out of your budget, but you love the Pixel 3's camera, consider the Pixel 3A instead.īut if you are willing to pay up, the Pixel 3 is outstanding. The S9 ends up being the better value since it can hold up to 400GB of extra data, and the 256GB iPhone is actually cheaper than the Pixel 3 at any capacity in terms of price per gig. If you do want extra storage though, things get more complicated. The identically priced 128GB iPhone XR is a tempting alternative, but its camera just doesn't measure up to the Pixel 3. At face value, the phone costs as much as the Galaxy S9 and it's cheaper compared to the iPhone XS' $1,000 (£999, AU$1,629) baseline price. So is an outstanding camera ( which takes better photos than the iPhone XS), wireless charging, water resistance and Google's user experience worth the $799 (£739, AU$1,199) starting price for the 64GB Pixel 3? If you don't care about expandable storage, I say yes.
