hey guys re here and I'm probably not who you were expecting but we decided to switch things up a little bit today and I'm gonna be doing the real data life with the pixel three Axl now I'm sure you guys have heard about it it's Google's new budget ition of their pixel three lines so I decided I would just take it out take you guys along with me and just have a little fun with it so we're gonna test it out the battery life picture quality of course you know we have to and a ton of other features that come on the pixel three Axl so let's see how it did so right now the video you're seeing in the audio you're hearing is coming right from the pixel three Axl oh we didn't really decide well in advance I'd be doing this video kind of last minute so I have no equipment on me but I figure it's the perfect time to at least test the front-facing camera it feels really really close so the pixel three Axl we don't have that second camera to do the wide selfie right group selfie so I'm kind of just stuck with this if I have an option I definitely would push it back it just feels like you guys like all my face oh my gosh but you guys are in the bathroom with me right now because I am getting ready for the day I have to do my makeup and listen to music while I'm doing my makeup so I will check back in when I finish all that so one thing I think it used to is navigating an Android phone it's not that difficult it's just having it used to it after using an iPhone right there that's not baby yes but it's not that difficult it's just you know sweetie it used to a little bit okay so makeup is done oh this is kind of light here umm I finished my makeup and I'm heading down to walk cookie and then feed her I was listening to music for about uh about thirty minutes do a makeup because the job before percent which isn't that bad at all I don't think it's that practical for me every morning to be listening to music on my phone but you know four percent that's really not that bad Wow this is not good looks like my old myspace pictures anyway while cookie eats in her princess bed ridiculous well she um I sit here and I just usually just scroll social media if I leave she won't eat so I have to make sure that I'm sitting right here because she's spoiled so I'm gonna be just scrolling Instagram and you know waiting for her to finish this gray hair well no it may be great I've been graying since that I was in college so don't come for me don't call me old but I think it a little bit sidetracked I was watching YouTube of course cookies definite done eating so I need to get out of here and get on with the rest of my day so what Hooper's on its way but I just realized is I can't really easily pick my earpods and this does have a headphone jack so I'll just use my like little airplane headphones today why not start now I'm headed to the studio I'm in an uber and I've been watching YouTube the entire time it's been what about 15 minutes so I've been watching groomsmen and dances and Bridal dances I don't know but anyway I say all that to say that the viewing experience is great so even though this is a less expensive phone assilex what's a version of the three you still get that great OLED display you get full HD plus so it's just nice that you can have to compromise on that with the cheaper phone and shout out through this headphone jack pretty cool that I can just plug in and listen I mean honestly I don't feel like it's necessary once you have a truly wireless pair of earbuds or bluetooth headphones that are already set up to your phone but I mean it's nice you know keep some emergencies kind of thing why not and just a quick update of course the batteries at 80% and a screen on time is an hour and twenty nine minutes I think is really good I'm excited to see what this will do after an entire day so I'm finally at the studio we are no longer having to use this pixel 3a for our video camera but I do want to talk about the colors here so this is white ish which is like fine it's basic but purplish is really nice I feel like if I were meaning this phone I'd make this my this would be my color that I choose because it's pretty nice it's not like in-your-face purple it's a purple-ish and earlier we talked about not really having to make many compromises even though you're getting a really nice price tag and that's the same thing here so you can still have your squeeze to activate assistant just like on the pixel three you squeeze it what is the temperature tomorrow so yeah you have that still accessible to you but this time with a nicer price tag right now I'm gonna go back to answering some email there but so many hours in the day and Jed has a lot to do so when it comes to email and pretty much its ghostwriter so I'm just gonna go out there and do that right now beside okay so I just devoured some delicious Chipotle and I was still answering email as I did that so I think it's good to talk about now feeling a hand when it comes to this phone in particular like the 3/8 XL I don't really like the feel on my hand and that's muling because my hands are smaller I don't like larger phones so even when I have like my iPhone 8 I still got the 8 and not the plus I just don't like plus versions of phones it just makes things a little bit awkward so while answering email or texting today I kept feeling like I wish I had my iPhone with me because I'm so used to just like typing really fast so I've been kind of like slowed down today I'm using this this phone but if I could choose to start the day over I definitely would just go with testing the pixel 3a instead of the Excel it's just not very comfortable for me at all but in terms of whether it's like solid or slippery it feels neutral does it feel slippery or doesn't feel super solid I still want a case but it's because I'm used to it I don't feel like I'm gonna drop at any moment alright but how does it compare to the original pixel 3xl in terms of the body how's it feel initially it feels like a little heavier but doesn't feel like less or more premium than this one no this one is not feel cheaper to me at least flip it a couple of hours I'd be using the phone here and there just did some shopping for massive tech on boxing and now we are about to watch a video while it renders I figure I'll have my resident game player give us this perspective give us his perspective on game playing the processor hey everybody on whose channel is this oh nevermind alright guys so we're gonna start up a game really quickly so doesn't game I like to play a lot it's called regalia law you might have heard me talk about it but I feel like this is going to be a good indicator on whether or not that processor which is a Snapdragon 670 which is a bit weaker than the 855 that the regular pixel 3 has in it so we're gonna see just how this game holds up hopefully it plays well let's check it out now something that I'm noticing when playing games is I'm getting a few drop frames and for my folks who aren't techies and who don't know what that really means it means I'm seeing the game skip ever so slightly now I can play this no problem and get by just fine but I am noticing the performance difference between this and something a bit more higher-end so the wolf pixel is really well known for its camera so we have to make sure we test out the camera in a bunch of different ways right now we're gonna talk about the selfie camera we'll do a regular selfie then we do a portrait selfie and see if it's comparable to that of the three and the big thing here is that you're supposed to be able to still get that amazing camera but for that nice nicer price tag so this is this one isn't be done with their regular camera let's take a look oh that looks a little bit blurry oh wait hold on I spoke too soon it was processing so now it's good now that looks really good so that's one thing I noticed it does take a little bit more time to process than the regular pixel 3 does that's why you thought it was blurry for a little bit yeah yeah I would have definitely tried to retake it so yeah this looks really good it's nice and sharp I would totally post this picture if I liked the overall image but I think the quality itself looks really really good so now we're gonna go to portrait mode and I'm really interested to see if it's gonna have the nice blurring effect especially around my hair sometimes cameras really struggle with that let's see hmm okay so attempt number one was a fail and let's do one more ooh so that's nice let me zoom in you know just to make sure it really got it this looks great that looks really good okay Porsche promote selfies a check I mean even around the frizz in my hair too though like yeah it's not so bad you could definitely post that and we've all seen the memes on the internet about Android phones and Instagram and snapchat and the horrible quality but the pixel three actually has something called the pixel visual core it allows anyone who has a pixel 3 to take a picture on Instagram or snapchat and have a really nice high-quality photo unlike those other Android phones but here's where the compromise comes in guys for the Florida dollar price tag you do not get the pixel visual core for the 3a so I'm going to take a picture on Instagram and see what kind of quality we're working with now we have a pixel 3 XL and we're gonna see if there's a difference if one is better than the other all right and this is the pixel 3 with pixel visual core so I'm taking a look and I do not see a difference whatsoever like at all either way it really doesn't matter because you can use your regular camera for taking pictures and upload directly to Instagram you would only really care if you really need to use things that the Instagram camera gives you like boomerangs or filters or those types of things which I don't really use so I don't care and this can't be a pixel video without actually taking a look at the rear camera you know pixels are known for their really awesome camera quality so I figure this is a great place to take a nice photo we've got this nice Prudential Center here if you're from New Jersey or especially Newark you know the Prudential Center so this is an awesome view alright so I guess that's good now I am NOT a good photographer like jet is so it looks pretty good to me I would look at the dark parts just to make sure we have still some detail the dark areas yeah you can even see the reflection in the water yeah I'd say it's a pretty good picture it's nice and sharp too but now we're gonna get out of this rain and get to a better environment and Sochi because this isn't waterproof all right so back inside the studio where it's nice and dry weird take a picture of this random figurine here I don't know where it's from but it has a lot of color okay well that that and then let's also do a portrait mode one okay so that came in closer yeah so this camera actually okay so this is the first one we take the one that does not have portrait mode and yeah I said it looks pretty good you can still read out the engravement here tells us Perea colors look good okay and this is the portrait mode one it looks really good too I think it's so crazy that this is being done with software yeah cut around that really well the tip didn't get as much right here that little edge it's a very hard piece to get those from really really tiny all right so it is nearly 1 a.m. we just got home we're working very on a video so I'm exhausted but the battery is still going strong and this thing is just not dying 39 percent we've had almost 5 hours of screen on time see you guys in the wrap-up I'm going to bed I'm exhausted so that was my day and first shout-out to judge for doing these because they are not easy he definitely some look very easy whether or not but I really did enjoy using the pixel 3a XL for the day there were two things I really liked about it the first was definitely the battery life I'm something that is on my phone constantly like I do email I text all the time I'm always on social media so it's really important for me to have a really great battery life and I didn't have to stop not once to charge it now you guys know I use a battery case on my iPhone and I honestly would not be able to use my iPhone for the full day otherwise so being able to have that nice slim form factor that's not thick like this and all-day battery life was really really nice and my second favorite thing hasn't been the camera specifically the front-facing camera which I know is kind of like a weird comment to make sense builder typically lower quality but any other Android phone app tested that judges gotten into the studio I've never been impressed with a front-facing camera and this one I think was better than my iPhone I'm really surprised because nothing usually beats my iphone to me to meet don't come from and of course the rear cameras are really good too I'm so impressed I've been able to add that bokeh effect with just software and we also compared the pictures to the three and there's really not that big of a difference to me and another thing I really enjoyed was the display I don't think we're really worried about the bezels because they're a little bit thicker than the ones that are on the three but I really enjoyed it and I didn't really notice them as much they didn't interfere with me using the phone that day so addition to the bezels there are other compromises that do come with giving the three a over the three and one of them is wireless charging so there is no wireless charging in the 3a that did not impact my day at all so I don't use wireless charging like that but if that's something that you really rely on every day Judd takes this phone and puts it on the wireless charging pad every night then that's not be something you should consider before making your purchase but another drawback that might be a bigger deal if you're someone who's a really big tech head is the fact that the processor isn't as the one on the three it's a weaker processor than the original and what comes standard on today's flagships but for me again I did not even notice a difference but Judd did though when he was taking pictures he saw that it took a little bit longer to process photos and when he was playing games he saw some stalling a little bit so if you're someone that spends a decent amount of time on your phone playing mobile games then this is not the phone for you because I know after a while the freezing and the stalling can get really upsetting but even all that considered if I have to choose an Android phone and I want a budget I would definitely consider the three a not that three a excel though because as I mentioned before the filming hand to me was just not comfortable at all but overall nice job Google it's kind of refreshing to see a phone that gives like near flagship like experience without having to shell out a thousand dollars so if you're someone in a budget and you really want a great camera awesome battery life and stock Android then this is FAA phone for you to consider but if you're a power user and you really value things like a fast processor or special features like wireless charging then I probably doubt for other options but it's really surprising we can get in the four-inch dollar range but that's not it guys hopefully enjoy Spang the day with me and I happen to see good but if you enjoyed it make sure you give this video a thumbs up go follow me on Instagram and I'll catch you guys another one peace
