Obviously I wouldn't recommend a faulty device but if you're willing to live with some issues then it's noticeably cheaper than a standard preowned device.

Quick note - the video sample at 15:11 was a bit messed up by the editing! It doesn't actually look like that when panning.
Update - started using the PixelDust A13 Rom (Oct. 2022 patch) and it's arguably better optimised than Pixel Experience!

Still rocking my 3xl and got no issues with it or the notch, I love the contrast it gives when I use a light wallpaper.

I'm using my 3 XL as my 4 XL needed a battery change. It's a nice phone with a nice display and speakers. The issue that i have is the lack of ram compared to my 4 XL. Apps crash a lot now on the 3 XL

I use a redmi note 8 pro at the moment running a pixel experience based rom...i couldn't get my hands on a pixel, so this is as close as i could come minus well, the camera

[BeedleBeeno]

Pixel 3xl clearly white is the best looking phone to date in my opinion

[landen]

i know its 2024 but im wondering is the pixel 3xl still worth it?
i have a choice between galaxy s20FE and Google Pixel 3XL, what do you think is a better option?

[kirigayakazuto]

Hi! Did you update it to Android 12? Any issues with it? I just bought mine so I'm curious. Thanks

[ramamonjiniainaako]

using my lovely pixel 3, with ressurection remix A10, i use it as a gaming device ( with some mods ofc ) and photography is better than iphone 11 in some case ... the only big issue is the battery life and outdated screen quality

[Pubg-qgtj]

[Dr.MBBSladka]

[whatepher]

Wait you got that for 33 pounds? What a steal bruv

I've just bought a 6a. Great clicky buttons! And a great device.

Story Time: I got an iPhone 8, to get a feeling for iOS and let's just say that the ram management blew me away.

It was definitely comparable to the Google Pixel 4 Xl (sometimes better) with less than half the ram!

Moral of the story: Google's ram management is terrible....

Great video. Don’t know how you haven’t blown up yet. Here’s to a good 2k23🫡🤞🏾

I m using pixel 3 xl from 2019 still working very well zero problem, perfect smartphone ever made by google, only ram issues sometimes but u can fix it with zram magisk module. Otherwise phone is great and light & wide screen with cute notch, also super duper camera 🤩
