What's up guys, Saf here on SuperSaf TV and
we've got a bit of an exclusive here today,
this is the first official unboxing of the
Google Pixel 3 and 3XL.
But we're doing things SuperSaf style here, so
not only do we have the Pixel 3XL in this special box
here at the bottom, but we do have the Pixel 3s in all
of the different color options available.
And as a bonus, we do have the Pixel Stand as well,
let's get straight to the unboxing.
So firstly let's open this special #teampixel box,
and this has the Google Pixel 3XL.
Oh yeah.
So we've got three colors this year, we've got
clearly white, just black, and the new color this year
is 'Not Pink', which is quite interesting, that's what we've
got the Pixel 3XL in.
Picture of the back of the Pixel here in the front,
and at the back we have #teampixel.
Oh, we of have a different color for each of them, so
a blue back for the clearly white, a green back for the
just black, and a red back for the not pink.
Opening this up,
ooh, interesting.
We are presented initially with the phone.
Now, each of these come with exactly the same stuff in the
box, so we'll only have a look inside one of these boxes.
We've got some paperwork as well, and some stickers,
so we've got the G Google logo as well as #teampixel,
then we've got the SIM Card ejector tool, we've got a USB type C
power adaptor, now this does support fast charging.
There's a USB type C USB type to USB type cable.
And this year, we do get a USB type C headset, now this headset
does have support for Google Assistant, so once
you've got it connected to your phone, you can
press and hold and that is going to
launch Google Assistant for you.
And of course, this does mean that like last year, we
do not have a 3.5 mm jack, however, we do get a
USB type C to 3.5 mm dongle.
And finally, we do again get a quick switch adaptor.
So this is basically going to allow you to quickly transfer
everything from your previous phone into your new Pixel.
This can be done in 10 minutes or less, apparently.
Right, so that's everything we get inside the boxes,
now let's get to the devices, we're going to start
with the Pixel 3XL.
Plastic off.
Oh yes.
So it's definitely not pink, kind of looks like a bit of
an off-pink sort of cream color.
Now you'll notice that like last year we do have a
colored power button, which looks pretty cool.
Now, the Pixel 3, just black initially...
Oh, this is so satisfying.
... looks very, very similar to the just black
that we had last year.
Clearly white, which once again, we did have a similar
version of this last year too.
This year we do have a colored power button on
the clearly white, this is something that we didn't
have last year.
And finally we also have the not pink Pixel 3.
And this is exactly the same color as the Pixel 3 XL.
And here are all the colors, side by side.
Now, we do have a different build compared to
what we had last year, so we've got a painted metal frame
with a glass back this time, so previously
we did have a metal back, however,
the bottom part of the glass, is this sort of
soft touch glass which is quite nice and
is not going to attract fingerprints as much as normal glass.
But the top portion is this sort of glossy glass which
continues on from the sort of design language that
we've seen in the Pixels previously.
So why do we have a glass back this year?
Well, that is of course because this year we do have
wireless charging, and that's something you're
going to be able to use with the Pixel Stand, which
we'll be unboxing right after we've gone over
everything here.
We've also got IP 68 water and dust resistance this year
compared to IP 67 which is what we had last year,
and in terms of the physical dimensions, they're pretty
much exactly the same compared to what we had last year.
So, the Pixel 3 is roughly about the same size
as the Pixel 2, and the Pixel 3XL is roughly about the
same size as the Pixel 2XL.
But we do have larger displays now on the new Pixels,
and that is because we have much smaller bezels compared to last year.
And we'll start with the Pixel 3, so compared
to last years Pixel 2, which has a 5 inch display,
we now have a 5.5 inch display in a very similar
sized body.
Now, this is an OLED display, and first impressions,
looks really good, it's got a full HD plus resolution,
with roughly about a 78% screen to body ratio.
Let's move on to the Pixel 3XL.
So, compared to the Pixel 2XL last year which has a
5.5 inch display, we now have a 6.3 inch display,
it still has a quad HD plus resolution, roughly about
an 82% screen to body ratio, with OLED technology,
and, of course, there is a big notch.
I can't really sugarcoat this, this is definitely
the biggest notch that I've seen on a smartphone, however
it does have lots inside this notch.
We've got dual front facing cameras this time.
Now, I've been on record to say many times,
that the Pixel 2s had the best
front facing cameras on any smartphone, and even compared
to the new smartphones that have been released this year,
the Pixel 2 and 2XL still take the best selfies,
especially when it comes to portrait mode.
This year, both front facing cameras are 8 megapixels,
we've got autofocus,
and the primary camera has a standard
angle of view with an F 1.8 aperture,
but the secondary camera has a wide angle of view
so that's roughly about 97 degrees
and this has an F 2.4 aperture, of course, this is
going to be great for your "we-fies", if that's
what you want to call em.
Groupfies?
What do people call group selfies these days?
Now I personally cannot wait to put these cameras
to the test and put them against some of the competition.
And, definitely let me know in the comments below which
Super Saf style camera comparison you'd like to see first
here on the channel.
As well as the two front-facing cameras, within that notch
is one of the two front-firing stereo speakers,
so this is another thing that you are getting which you
might not be getting on other devices, and might make you
feel a little bit better about that notch.
Now as last year, the cameras are exactly the same on
the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.
Now if you look on the back, you'll notice that we've just
got the single rear-facing camera.
Of course, we're at a time where some manufacturers are
going for two, three, sometimes even four cameras.
But last year, despite the fact that the Pixel 2s had a
single camera, they still beat out a lot of the competition.
And I think, unanimously, pretty much everyone agreed
that the Pixel 2s had the best camera of last year,
at least when it came to images and I'm very hopeful
for the Pixel 3s camera.
Now this is a 12 megapixel camera with a F 1.8 aperture,
as well as oprical image stabilizatiton.
The important thing here is it does have
Google's Pixel visual core.
And this is going to use machine learning and software
processing to improve your images.
We do have some new features this year, so when you do
take an image it's not just going to take that image it's
going to be taking images 1.5 seconds before as well as
1.5 seconds after.
So, say for instance you're taking a group shot
and somebody looks away, it's going to recommend a shot
to you, and if you want to keep that and you can do,
that's really interesting and I cannot wait
to test this camera out.
You've also got a spectral and flicker sensor so that should
help in those scenarios.
And here at the back we've got the fingerprint scanner
in a very similar position and it works
really, really well.
On the right hand side, we've got the power button
which is colored on some of the devices,
the volume rocker.
Nothing on the left hand side, at the bottom, there is
the USB C type input as well as the SIM card tray.
And at the top we've got a mic.
Now for the batteries, we've got some reasonably
sized batteries in these devices, we've got
2,950 mAH on the Pixel 3,
on the 3XL we've got 3,450 mAH.
Now in terms of actual usage, we're going to have to
of course test these out.
And internally, both devices are running the
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processors, which is one
of the fastest processors out there.
But we've got 4 gigabytes of RAM on both devices.
Honestly speaking, I was hoping for more RAM, but we do
have stock Android, and that's something unique about these
devices, you are going to be getting updates directly
from Google, and because they're optimized for the hardware,
it should be performing really well.
Of course, we're going to have to put these to the test
and see how well they perform.
They are going to be coming with Android P out of the box.
If you do want to see some speed tests of the Pixels
with other devices, once again, definitely let me know
in the comments below.
Now, in terms of storage, these do come with 64 gigabytes
as a base and there is a 128 gigabyte version
available as well.
You may be thinking that's pretty less in terms of storage,
but Google still does offer unlimited storage for your
photos and videos at full resolution.
And this is going to be for a couple of years I believe
and after that you still get unlimited free storage at
high resolution so the fact that you've got 64 gigabytes as
a base should be enough for most of your apps and things.
And then you can have everything else stored securely
in the cloud.
Now let's talk about pricing.
So, the Pixel 3 is going to be starting at
£739 for the 4 gigabyte version, and the Pixel 3XL
is going to be starting at £869.
You will be paying more compared to what you did last year,
pre-orders do start today and they'll be shipping
from the 1st of November.
There we have it guys, that is the Google Pixel 3 and 3XL
exclusive unboxing Super Saf style.
What do you guys think of these?
Definitely drop me a comment below and let me know.
In terms of my first impressions,
I'm definitely liking the devices,
I'm going to have to see how I get on with that notch,
and I really am excited to check out the cameras.
The displays do look like they've definitely been improved,
viewing angles do seem to be better and I can't notice
any color shifting in my initial impressions but of course,
I will be testing these out much more for my full review.
And this video is still not finished, because we have
of course the Google Pixel stand, let's check this out too.
Now, this Pixel stand is actually a little bit special,
and that's because it's going to work nicely with the
Pixel 3 and 3XL.
Comes with some paperwork, USB type C to USB type C cable,
as well as a power adaptor.
So let's go ahead and test this out,
it charges your phone like any other wireless stand would,
so, you can just pop your phone on there.
And it's going to start charging.
However, because it is the Pixel stand, it's going to
give you some additional features.
So, you'll be able to use Google assistant on your phone.
And, it can also do things like display a gallery
or something while your phone is charging.
Uh, this is still very new so I'll be looking at this
in a bit more detail.
Of course, you can still use your pixels with any other
Qi Wireless charger.
And, that's it for me for this video, I hope you enjoyed it,
if you did, then go hit that thumbs up button for me, and
if you haven't already, I'm not sure why you haven't,

We're going to have lots more Pixel 3 and 3XL content
coming up on here.
Thanks for watching, this is Saf on SuperSaf TV,
and I'll see you next time.
