hey everybody I'm Jeeter bone here at Google's Hardware event holding as you can see the all new pixel 3 and the pixel 3 Excel so there's a lot to talk about these devices I'm just gonna start with the price this one starts at $7.99 for 64 gigs of storage it's an extra hundred bucks to double that and then this is 100 bucks more so it starts at $8.99 and then an extra hundred bucks to double the storage on this side as well in terms of design they feel pretty much identical to the last one so this is my pixel to XL and you can see they're pretty much identical in size the difference of course is that this has that big ol notch on the front and as I was expecting as I was hoping the notch actually doesn't look that bad in person it looks way better in person than it does in photos but it is still a gigantic knife now in terms of specs they are exactly we expected so we are looking at a Snapdragon 820 5 processor 4 gigs of ram on both models and a 12 point two megapixel camera on the back which has an F 1.8 aperture on it on the front you have two lenses they're both 8 megapixels one of them is F 1.8 and it has a 75 degree field of view the white is a 97 degree field of view and the wide mode is one of the first features are going to talk about here so what you do here is you're just looking at a regular selfie but then you can slide it out to get more or you know slide it into zones so it's a nice wide-angle selfie camera but really the story here is they've added a ton of just other features on it so there's Dan Seaford over there I can zoom in on him and google says that they have a better zoom feature that's using the same technology that astronomers used to fix zoom we will have to really see if this is any good because digital zoom is traditionally bad but Google's talking big game about it so another feature they've talked about is top shot which is supposed to like pick the best photo if it's you are not smiling in a photo so I'm gonna take a picture here and blink and whatever so there I took a photo and if we tap into the photo you can see it's blinking and it says pick a better shot here so I can tap that and so it slides over to what it thinks is a better shot I don't know if that's a better shot or not but there's like a bunch of stuff here so you can just go through to the best one obviously the best one is where I look like a goon and then it will just save a copy of that shot in addition to the original shot the other thing they've done is they've added a whole bunch of new a are stickers they've called it playground so we can go to playground here there's Neil I there's Dan I'll tap here and we'll just throw Ironman in the frame he's just super in their way but I'll slide him over there now he's out of their way so there's those guys there's Ironman he's just chillin doing as Iron Man thing it will also work in selfie mode so I can take a selfie here and I can have Iron Man just he is just creeping on me he's a creeper another feature they talked about is night shot or night mode or night night something it's able to do really incredible low-light photography that brightens up the entire scene so much so that it doesn't even look real so we're really excited to give that a shot I have taken just a couple of photos of this we haven't had a very long but it does seem like a very fast camera it seems like a very good camera and it was able to pull off portrait mode with some backlighting on that portrait motor that looked pretty good so really excited to try these cameras out there now maybe the most whiz-bang new feature they showed is call screening so if a call comes in you'll see here there's a new pop ssin for screen call when I tap it it shows some text here so the first year calling is using the street and on the other end this sounds like a pretty regular conversation because it's using Google's duplex technology so I'm just going to speak to this person and it's going to hopefully Auto transcribe what what I'm saying and there well it's pretty loud in here and you can see now it is Auto transcribing what I'm saying and then on this end I can just reply yes it's super urgent please please please transcribe this call so that's called transcription it's pretty wild it also happens completely locally so that nothing gets sent to Google servers is happening directly on the phone going back to the design a little bit it is a glass back and that allows for wireless charging and when it's on a wireless charger it's going to have a bunch of special features on the screen so it will wake you up slowly by brightening the screen before the alarm goes off it'll show you stuff that you can see from across the room in order to do that they did have to make it a glass back but they've maintained a matte finish so it's a single piece of glass here but the top is glossy and then they sort of I don't know sanded this side down here fingerprint sensor of course is still on the back and it it feels a little bit less recess than before but it's still you know it's a fingerprint it works fine now since the back is glass and of course the front is glass it is Gorilla Glass 5 and so I'm hopeful that it won't be to shatter prone but you'll see there is of course no headphone jack to speak of there is USB C for charging and it can do fast charging as well overall I am happy with the designs that I expected and probably tempted get the smaller one because it does have a bigger screen than the last pixel because they made the bezel smaller and I'm not offended by the notch but I think it's time for me to go to a small fall I'll be interested to see what that what more people want to get so both of these phones are available for pre-order right away and in the US they're gonna be exclusive to horizon but of course you can go ahead to Google and get them unlocked we're gonna have much more about these phones in the coming days and weeks so keep it locked to the verge thanks so much for watching
