The Cheaper Pixel 3 "Lite"

2019-01-18
hey how's it going Dave 2d here a video was recently put out by a channel called andro news that showcased the upcoming pixel three light or whatever they're calling the inexpensive like cheaper pixel three that's launching in the spring and this is a device that's obviously focused on price it's a device that has a plastic back and a plastic chassis and compared to the original pixel 3 or pixel 3 Excel these devices have glass backs and metal chassis they look nice they're more premium to hold but they're more expensive a plastic phone is cheaper and they can still be awesome they're durable the back stone shatter they're lighter they're less slippery and in order to get this phone to be as cheap as possible Google's gonna be doing a couple other things to the pixel 3 light it's supposedly running a cheaper mid to your SOC from Qualcomm so the Snapdragon 670 is gonna run with 4 gigs of RAM 32 gigs of storage and there's no way to spin it a Snapdragon 670 is gonna be a slower chip than a Snapdragon 845 it's gonna have slower processing slower LTE speeds but it's still a fast and efficient 10 nanometer chip I think for most people unless you're going hard to the core on your phone and playing like mobile games frequently you probably won't notice too much of a difference between the Snapdragon 845 and the 670 in the pixel 3 light now the display panels on the pixel 3 and the pics of 3 excel are OLED panels and these are some of the best-looking screens that Google has ever put on any one of their devices the pixel 3 light is supposed to be running an LCD panel and there's nothing inherently wrong with LCDs we've seen some really nice-looking LCDs out there but they tend not to be as nice as an OLED panel there's also a difference in the audio setup so the original pixel 3 pixel 3xl both have stereo speakers front-facing ones that sound pretty good the cheaper pixel 3 light doesn't have stereo speakers it has a mono speaker on the bottom but it has a headphone jack which is crazy this is a feature that was removed from the pixel phones last year and to see it come back in the cheaper version of the pixel is it's weird but it's also nice I feel like they recognize the value of that port to a lot of people around the world so I like that it's there I don't know if it's gonna come back into like future versions of pixel phones but I'm glad that it's making it into the cheaper version I feel like the people that are going to purchase that are gonna appreciate that Jack cameras there seems to be only one front-facing camera on the pixel three lights you're probably lose the wide-angle focal length and you're probably gonna lose portrait mode for selfies but the rear camera is supposedly very similar if not the same to the original pixel three and pixel three XL cameras and those were excellent cameras some of the sample photos on that video look legit and it is a pixel device it's going to be using Google's camera algorithm there's a very good chance that's gonna be shooting some really nice photos so we have a device that has a great camera headphone jack good software it's got a lot going on for it but the price point is where this thing leans very heavily on if Google was very aggressive with the pricing they priced out of like 400 or 450 bucks this one will fly off the shelves everyone loved it but I don't think they're gonna sell it for that it's gonna be like 550 maybe even a little bit more see they have to compete with companies like oneplus there it's gonna be so hard for this phone to be picked up on mass if it's not priced really well and because it's Google I don't think it will so what do you guys think like if this thing was priced at let's say five fifty four gigs of ram 32 gigs with storage and it's 550 bucks for everything that was discussed in this video would you buy it like at what point does it become too expensive for you like I'm super curious to see what that price point is because it sounds great on paper but because it's Google and because they don't price stuff super aggressively I'm so curious to see how this will pan out for them okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it subs if you loved it see you guys next time
