hey gammy hi the notch why don't you love me please love me yo guys johnathan here and I'm here also I'm excited it's hoodie season and the pixel three is here and it's not as bad as you think thumbs up for Maya so these are my 24 hour impressions with the pixel 3 and I'm not gonna lie when Google dropped that notch bomb on us I was a little sad just like you guys but with that said I wanted to get the phone in house be as level-headed as it possibly could and see maybe if there's a reason why that knotch is what it is now cool it before you freak out punch a wall spill your drink and say how could you possibly say anything nice about that knotch you're crazy I'm not saying it looks good I'm just trying to figure out why it's there and why it's that deep so if we take a super fancy close-up look at those notches at the very least I would say the pixel 3 knotch looks happier than the iPhone 10's notch so that's a thing but what's interesting is if we go CSI enhance mode we get a detailed look at those cameras and what stands out to me is one that wide-angle lens here is actually spherical like a real land which is cool but that main lens looks to be bigger than that of the iPhone 10s so naturally that kind of got me thinking if the sensor is bigger that would lead to better low-light performance so is that worth the trade-off would you rock a deeper notch for better camera performance so last night's shoot some video for the pixel 3 video my guy Carlos stopped me to say hey Austin's channels better than yours still though he was cool enough to take a selfie with me and I got to say this shot here especially in low-light is crazy impressive the dynamic range is super impressive net wide-angle lens is really helpful getting us bolt in the shots now as far as the environment goes there's a ton of like street lamps and kind of those kind of lights there was a little bit of softbox bleed coming over from how we shoot the video but overall till this picture kind of blew me away from there jumping back to knotch city population like 8 million smartphones this year with the Google pixel 3 yes you can hide it and it's a little bit weird because it's not something that you can just easily find you actually have to go into the settings and what's funny is if you search knotch google knows what you're talking about and it's actually called the cutout to them so when you search for knotch it'll get you to that cutout setting where you can then disable it now I'm not gonna lie after using the phone with that notch in your face it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be you do kind of get used to it the same as you would with the iPhone 10s it's just a little bit weird how Google makes use of their space when it is hidden specifically I wish Google would do something like LG with their second screens so where if you had that notch blacked out you could at least have the time or the information or apps or things like that in the top corners but for now it kind of just bumps it down which is really useless now I'm not saying it's a reason not to buy this phone it just kind of feels like that notch and how Google implements it whether it's hidden or not hidden really just isn't for prime time yet and definitely needs to be perfected if they can do that though and kind of listen to everyone voicing their opinion I think the pixel 3 could be a really great option because there is a lot to like the second reason why that notch is so big is actually because there is a dedicated speaker right smack on the top of the phone not like the earpiece that's on the iPhone 10s it is a real speaker and let me tell you it makes a difference now while these speakers do sound really good I don't think they're quite up to par with the new razor phone - which is incredible if you guys missed that video check it out here or down below personally well I think music does sound great on stereo speakers on a smart phone I'm going to enjoy that more with headphones where I think the actual real advantages though is when you're watching content specifically this awesome vsauce3 video which is amazing so after you've done watching this or hell just stop watching this video right now because Jake's videos better go check it out it's ridiculous a lot of love to Jake but for real though the speakers on the pixels 3 are really good so that kind of adds the question better low-light performance better speaker performance does that make the knotch more acceptable with that said though one thing that was a little disappointing for me is the fact that with all that to real estate there is no face unlock or anything of that nature you do have the fingerprint reader on the back which works great and nope I am NOT sponsoring moment I'm just covering up the fact that I may or may not have broke Austen's pixel 3xl for real though don't tell him please so I guess that's kind of part of my first impressions I dropped and broke a pixel three it was about waist level it wasn't crazy but a gust to win maybe just didn't like that notch and said I'm taking you out so from distance you can't really tell because of the kind of matte black stealthy look but if you look close you better believe you can see the damage to those corners it does kind of address the question or concern of is the pixel 3 a little scratch prone and I'm gonna say yeah it's definitely a little scratch prone it's not some scratch gate controverse that you don't have to buy the pixel but if you're clumsy definitely throw a case on it from there now that we got kind of a notch out of the way the thing I was most excited for was to check out that camera and it did not disappoint so putting you quick with a portrait selfie no this has not taken on an iPhone 10s but I got you guys on your toes holy sharpness the detail it is crisp it is nice now having the ability to adjust the actual amount of blur on the pixel 3 and what's crazy is you can actually change the focus point so if you want to make someone believe you just completely blue focus you can do that I will say it doesn't always do a perfect job so in this case you can see it's having a hard time with the edges of my hair but for the most part just like the pixel to the camera on the pixel 3 is fantastic I will also say that wide-angle lens is really useful for me one of the biggest gripes I've always had with the iPhone is that front facing camera just never seemed wide enough to top things off the main lens on the pixel 3 is great but having that extra bit of width is clutch also shout-out to these handsome fellows check out all the links in the description hopping over to the rear camera Google once again is like nope we don't need two lenses we're gonna outdo all of you with a single lens and honestly I don't know if I could argue with them this shot here was probably my favorite out of the bunch the reason why is it was windy clearly winning up to break Austin's pixel so to capture this leaf in action that sharp with that background next from there this shot of Homer chillin tells me a multitude of things one it is sharper than Shanon to that dynamic range is insane the fact that we have the outside not blown out in color and that much detail everywhere kind of blows my mind three the colors are beautiful what's kind of cool with the picks of three is you have this color pop feature you're not gonna use this all the time but when you do it right it is crazy cool next for that guy saying where are the low-light test of course the cameras gonna look great outdoors and a beautifully lit scenario here you go buddy also very impressive just like the rest of the shots so so far the pixel three camera I'm not gonna say like it is miles better than the pixel two but there are absolutely no complaints from me thus far overall though I would say my impressions of the pixel three are very positive even with that notch it's ugly there's no denying it but it is a fantastic smartphone if you guys have any questions on the full review I'm gonna do my best to cover that as in-depth as possible drop me a line down below subscribe turn ootah fication so you don't miss that thank you guys for watching if you enjoyed the video drop a like and I will catch you guys later [Laughter]
