2018-10-15
these are the top five reasons not to buy the Google pixel three wait wait wait before you go all nuts we also have reasons to buy the pixel three in this same video so use this video to serve whatever need you want if you're trying to convince yourself to spend money or trying to convince yourself not to you'll get some ideas here let's go number five the look yes this is superficial the Google pixel 3 and Excel looked like great looking budget phones there I said it one design is dated the three looks like the pixel to excel the pixel three Excel looks like someone saw an apple design and thought how can we copy that then as I was like we can do it but it's going to look hilariously bad Google's it yeah let's do it then the design team did not know Google was kidding for shame these are Google's top phones they deserve top-of-the-line designs at number four no expansion one of the big hooks about Android phones is you get to choose what kind of experience you have Samsung's big Galaxy phones let you plug in a microSD card LG's V and G lines let you do the same how about any of the pixels nope forget it either by a 64 gigabyte model or a 128 model those are your options that's it and number three is there's no 5g look this is the future of wireless and it's not on the pixel 3 to be fair no current phones have 5g on board but if you're looking for a phone you want to hang on to for a few years 2018 has been a blatte for phones in general look at the s9 the note 9 the LG G 7 think you the actual intent asks just placeholders until 2019 rolls around if you have a phone from last year it's a hard sell to jump to any phone let alone the pixel if you want some solace the pixel does support gigabit LTE number 2 these past screen problems this might be more of a reason to just hold off on purchasing a new pixel than anything else last year the pixel 2 XL had issues with its OLED screen there were some visible grittiness and some hue issues if you tilted the phone once you saw these problems good luck on seeing them this year Google put in flexible OLED screens in both versions of the three I asked a rep if Google used the same screen vendor as before but he said Google is not disclosing that information will the new screens hold up better than last year's we'll see before we get to number one let's talk about reasons to buy the pixel while it only has one camera on the back Google software seems to make photos look great with features like top shots and night sights but that was in the demos we'll see how it really goes in further testing then there's finally wireless charging on the pixel so if you really really wanted that you have it the two cameras on the front take care of those group selfies for all of those photos you get free unlimited google photo storage and the best reason to get a pixel or any pixel for that matter is getting the latest version of Android when Google releases it other phones might have a better design more cameras or whatever but pixel phones can get updates flipping quickly back to the bad side and the number one reason not to buy the new pixel is the specs ok the pixel 3 inside is relatively unremarkable it's got a snapdragon 845 processor like other phones it packs 4 gigabytes of RAM which seems a little light the pixel phone's max out at 128 gigabytes of storage what's that about Google's working around for that is allowing full backups of your photos and videos so maybe you won't need all that space onboard Google also puts the screen size on the XL as 6.3 inches measured from one out of the screen to the other on the diagonal but you do lose space to the knotch maybe Google will find some kind of amazing use case for that little extra screen mini apps maybe I don't know I got to play around with the pixel 3 and XL for a little bit I kind of like the three better both were very comfortable in the hand were surprisingly light and we're very zippy maybe I'll wait until next year with 5g that does it for us am i a zap tire and I'll see you online you
