Assuming (and we all are almost certain now) that the leaked images of pixel 3xl are right, and assuming the Chinese manufacturers who started making screen protectors and cases for the P3XL are accurate, i wanted to see how bad the notch could be in real life, and compare sizes with P2xl, so i bought one of the Chinese screen protectors for p3xl and started comparing it to my P2xl.
I can confidentially say that P3xl is 95% or more in size with P2xl, to a level that we can say ITS a P2xl with a screen stretched up around the notch..
You can see in the attached photos, putting the P3xl screen protector over the P2xl screen, the notch is as deep as the top bezel of P2xl, and the bottom bezel is almost identical in each..
Size is also identical, both phones have the same overall size (in screen protector photo over the back of P2xl)
Side bezels are more slimmer for my eyes..
Photos attached should clear everything out..
Thanks for clearing that i dont need to buy pixel 3 this year ?

What he said!!
This is definitely going to be a dud, sticking with the Pixel 2 XL.
My Pixel 3xl is looking more and more like a OnePlus 6t!
Versus the Pixel 2 XL:
-Most likely a very similar LG P-OLED display (but notched): Nothing groundbreaking
-Still 4GB of RAM: So don't expect less app reloads
-Snapdragon 845: Slightly faster than the Snapdragon 835 in real-life usage, probably not even noticeable in most scenarios
-Supports wireless charging: Cool feature but not exactly a game changer (Coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, I don't miss it)
-Smaller battery
The only question mark that remains is the camera: Will it be vastly superior to the already great Pixel 2 XL camera? I have a strange feeling the hardware (sensor, lenses, etc.) will be the same, with only a tweaked camera app (that will be ported for the Pixel 2 XL anyway)
The more I think about it, the more I struggle to understand why the Pixel 3 XL exists.
It exists for OG Pixel owners to upgrade to.

Usually people upgrade every 2 years. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL may not be much better than the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL since they're only a year old, but it's a pretty good upgrade from the original 2 year old Pixel or Pixel XL. Personally I can't wait to get a Pixel 3 XL. It will be a massive upgrade from my dying Nexus 6P.
People ***** and moan about the notch and chin, but I think the Pixel 3 XL is a fine looking device. I guess I'm like one of those parents who thinks their child is adorable even though it's ugly as sin...

Exactly - if you hide the notch via blacking out its "corners", the Pixel 3 XL will look decent - almost like the 2 XL. If there is no default option for this, I'm sure that there will be Substratum overlays to do so.
I won't upgrade my 2 XL this year, this is completely pointless. But if my contract would be due for a new device, I'd definitely get the 3 XL.
The Pixel 3 is simply not worth upgrading from the Pixel 2. We get the camera update, same amount of RAM, the only major change is the processor from 835 to 845. Definitely not worth the money, considering how fast depreciation ocurrs. Most of the High End devices, LGV40, Galaxy S9, Pixel 3, seem to be at a standstill when it comes to any significant upgrades from their successor. The. Previous versions are nearly identical, Qualcomm 835 vs 845 is minimal, camera improvements are insignificant, with possible exception to the LG V40s 5 camera system. Anyone upgrading to latest version from previous versions is wasting money.

Why is the OP3T so much faster than the Pixel XL? Yeah, let's have this conversation.
Review after review (including XDA's own) has shown that the OnePlus 3T (and sometimes the OnePlus 3)outpaces the Pixel XL in synthetic benchmarks. Just have a look at this nice comparison put together by PhoneArena: [url]http://www.phonearena.com/phones/OnePlus-3T_id10313/benchmarks[/URL]
Aside from the BaseMark OS II benchmark, the Pixel and Pixel XL, despite having very similar hardware, are beaten in almost every performance-measuring test. If we have such similar hardware, why is this happening? Could it be the new F2FS file system on the OP3T? Or the faster CPU clocks? Maybe Oxygen OS? What about a different CPU governor? But why then does the older OP3 perform similarly?
Even the Moto Z outpaces the Pixel in storage benchmarks. This topic is investigated here. With a different filesystem and some software trickery, the Pixel's storage speed might be bolstered immensely.
Listen, the Pixel is a seriously fast phone. Coming from my Nexus 5X, it's night and day. It's easily the best phone I've ever used. Period. But I can't help wonder some of the questions above. Perhaps the real question is, can we get the Pixel to match the performance of the OP3T?
I own both, the one plus is super nice and thin as far as performance goes there is no noticable difference in speed during real world usage. What i notice and long for is the brightness of the one plus screen is so much brighter than my pixel xl
---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------
But a simple answer would be we have the same processor but the pixel is factory underclocked , you want the same bench mark results simply root and overclock/ normalize your process speed
OP3T and Pixel do not have the same processor. There are 2 versions of the 821. One that uses the same power at a higher clock speed (OP3T) and one that uses less power at the same clock speed as the 820 (Pixel/Pixel XL). Additionally the OP3T has a 1080P screen which will also help with benchmarks.

Bingo! Our screen has a much higher resolution. Its not a fair apples to apples comparison.
Google also reduced the clock speed (slightly 200mhz I believe) to help maintain great battery performance.
A pentile screen at 1080p is wrong
How does the OP3T battery life compare to the Pixel XL considering the underclocked 821 but higher screen resolution of the XL?

According to Engadget "It lasted 16 hours and seven minutes on Engadget's battery test, which involves looping an HD video with the screen set to 50 percent brightness until the device conks out. That's almost six hours more than the OnePlus 3's runtime, and two hours longer than the Google Pixel XL, which has a 3,450mAh bank."

LOL there is a phone called Google Pixel.
On topic though, yes I have seen that OP3T is significantly faster than the Pixel and Pixel XL both, I don't know how, but rather than incredibly fast app opening times I would rather take a phone which performs smooth consistently, for as long as a phone stays at/near 60 frames, the better. From all the videos I have watched I noticed that OP3's default animation scale is set to a much lower rate than the Pixel.

Really?
The original OP3's LCD screen was dimmer than the Pixel Xl and I thought the new OP3 had the same screen as the original?
Anyhow, if you want a brighter Pixel XL screen... then you might consider rooting and then installing ElementalX kernel + the High Brightness Widget mod.
This combo will get you the same extra high brightness as the Samsung Note 7's auto-brightness when the HBM gets activated.
I don't know about that but I do know side by side it's visibly brighter. You can see below OPO 3t is blown out where as the pixel is exposed properly due to it letting off a smaller amount of light

Gross.
I think you're confusing a blown out contrast/black level with a properly calibrated contrast/black level as being "brighter".
Contrast ratio vs black level
http://www.soundandvision.com/content/contrast-ratio-vs-black-level#JZuzUY7MzQgEb0T6.97
Yeah, the Pixel is waaaay better in that picture.
No buddy the screen looks great to the naked eye. you don't understand how cameras work, It's hard to show simple brightness in a picture. The reason it looks that way in the image is that it's letting off so much light that my camera settings over expose the image, but due to my pixel not letting off as much light it showed up perfectly fine in the image. There fore proving my point that the OPO 3t gets brighter than the pixel . With that said, They are both gorgeous displays

I don't really think firing the extra pixels is the whole reason behind the staggering difference in performance. Definitely during gaming, but app loading times, file transfers, raw CPU horsepower (crunching numbers) hardly have anything to do with the resolution of the screen.
I personally use both side by side as well. I have 2 pixel XL's and a 128gb OP3T.. after 3 weeks, in my humble opinion the pixel is much better and much smoother and faster than the OP3T..
I just can not emphasize enough what Google has done with the optimization of the software for the hardware with the pixel. It is just the smoothest nicest fastest beast of a device out there. And the pixel flat footed walkes all over my op3t when it comes to battery and camera.. not even a comparison.
Is the pixel XL worth the extra $400??? Depends what's important to you.. if camera and battery life, then yes.. even my iPhone 7 plus can't keep up with my pixels in those categories..
So yes, while the OP3T may be clocked slightly faster and has more ram... Day to day it is NOT faster than the pixel XL.
Btw, I do love the thin feel and build of the OP3T though.. and the front facing finger print reader!
Just because of this, we will now have a non EAS kernel

Curious, how does the smoothness/fluidity of the OP3T compare to the Pixel? I've used dozens of Android and iPhones over the last 7 years and never has an Android phone been so consistently smooth; it's legitimately iPhone smooth.
I really couldn't find a place to put this so thought I would ask here. On a Nexus 6p currently, considering the Note 8 or the 5t. I think the biggest difference between the two outside of software is going to be the quality of screen, the 2k on the 5t plus the quad hd on the note 8. has anyone compared their oneplus 5 to say a galaxy s8+, and how crazy is the difference? i've seen the samsung's latest phones in person, but nothing from oneplus, so i honestly don't know how they compare. reading pocketnow or gsmarena they seem to give the 1+ a little flack for not having quad hd screens, but how much that really means to the naked eye i do not know. Thanks for any feedback.
I personally don't see a difference in 1440p vs 1080p (coming from the 6P and Pixel XL to the OP5), so resolution isn't a huge deal to me. The display on this device looks great. I'd also go for the 5/T simply due to the amount of development for it as well.
Reviewers always pick on a device that doesn't have the latest and greatest.
On such small screens it's pretty hard to spot the differences. And it's not like everything becomes jaggy and blurry just because it's Full HD instead of QHD.

These two comments are spot on. In recent memory, I've had a note 4, Axon 7, Nexus 6P, S8+, and Pixel XL, Pixel 2XL, all at quad hd on amoled.. I haven't been able to tell any difference between those displays resolution and the displays found on my oneplus 3, oneplus 5, Moto Z Play, and a few other 1080P amoled displays.. The display is too small to notice a difference. Pixel density is still satisfyingly high.

If you have plans to use vr go for higher display resolution. Or else fhd is perfect for battery life

Hello all,
I am very interested in trading in my Nexus 6 (shamu) for a OnePlus 6T. Hard to pass up the $300 trade-in on a 4 year old device
My main concern is the display, mainly pixel density. From GSMArena:
Nexus 6: 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~493 ppi density)
OnePlus 6T: 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~402 ppi density)
Is this drastic of a drop going to be noticeable? Is there something about "Optic AMOLED" that makes up for this discrepancy? It just shocked me to see a 4 year old device with display specs that outperformed a brand-new "flagship killer" (not looking for a flame war here )
I don't really have any T-Mobile stores in the area where I can go and compare myself. I was hoping I could get some anecdotal evidence so I could make a decision. Any ex-shamu users out there with a 6T that care to weigh in?
Thanks a lot!

To each their own, but I came from a pixel 3xl which has a pretty nice screen and have no complaints.
I came from the Nexus 6p which has an even higher pixel density.
I honestly can't tell any difference, in fact the 6T looks even better. The home screen icons and fonts are tighter than on the 6p.
Also if you're wanting the deal, tomorrow is the last day.

Agreed. The pixel density is just fine on this. If it dropped to 720p then that would be a problem, but 1080p is just fine (unless you do VR with your phone, then it will be kinda crappy and you will miss the higher density).
I came from a combo of PH-1, P2XL, and Pixel 3 (mini), all of which higher pixel densities.
I came from a Moto X Pure and I haven't been bothered. It is a slight less crisp, but not a deal breaker for me.

I came from an Essential. No complaints.
My daughter has a Galaxy S8 and looked at the 6T screen and her first impression was that the screen was incredible.
Yeah I came from the Note 8 and I was very concerned... I've always used Notes - and I love this screen. Plus the phone just destroys the Note 8. Battery life and speed and thank goodness for the UI... so nice.
The screen is great! Better get it quick, I hear tomorrow is the last day for the promotion.

Sounds like a winner Thanks a lot everyone!
I came from the Note 8 as well, zero complaints as far as the screen is concerned. And the 6T really does kick the Note's ass when it comes to battery life and buttery smoothness. The fact that I paid $280 for this phone should be a crime. Actually, the fact that Sammy charges a grand for the Note 9 is the real crime. Do yourself a favor and pick up the 6T...even at full price its well worth it.
I came from a Pixel 2XL and the OnePlus 6T screen is much nicer. Pixel density may be less but you will never notice it unless you are doing VR with it.
Oneplus screen flickers makes my eyes ache and get blurry after extended use. Does anyone else have this experience?
Screen looks good to me although sometimes I think the top half has a very slight red look compared to the bottom half, other times it looks fine and I think it's just my eyes. I came from the Nexus 6P and galaxy S8+ which both have higher resolutions and I'm not noticing the difference if I'm honest.
I have note 9 and 6T, 6T isnt quite as bright and no 2k quality but for a 1080p amoled panel it is very good and very sharp. hard to tell between the two except for higher res and brightness
I came from google pixel ,so the screen looks amazing for me. I use the screen at 75% brightness ,and it makes watching videos pleasant for long duration.

This was also my worry but I really think the 6t is definitely more colorful
I'll chime in just to reinforce what others have already said. I haven't had a none quadHD display on a device in 4 or 5 years so I was very concerned about if I would notice pixels on the OP6T. I even almost didn't buy one because I was telling myself 1080p wouldn't be good enough. I currently own the Pixel2XL as well and the display on the OP6T destroys it. Side by side the OP6T is far better than the Pixel2XL display. The OP6T is bright, crisp, sharp, great colors, lots of color options to tune the display to your liking, and it is just as good if not better than any quadHD display I've used.
Do you guys think Pixel 3 XL at $699 (discount of $200 off for Thanksgiving) is a better buy than OP 6T at $579? I have OP 6T, but has some annoying bus like widgets not refreshing, apps not sending notifications, wifi calling not working like Pixel 2 XL I had
OnePlus. I have none of those issues. Reset it.
I had a 3xl and sold it after using the 6T for a week!! Camera is the only thing I miss and the but an is pretty good.
That notch on the 3xl is redonk!!!
What about Pixel 3XL at $629.99 vs 6T? Verizon is offering $300 off with trade in
I love my 6t! Never had any of those problems you mentioned. Did you buy your 6t from T-Mobile? Their variant is already 5 updates behind the international variant I believe. I have the international variant and my software version is 9.0.5.
Also worth mentioning. The only thing I don't like about this phone is the speaker placement and the fact that it's just a single one, easily muffled. Hate that. Everything else is GREAT! The specs are simply better than the Pixel 3!

Phone is a heavy ass hell.
Pixel 2 XL owner here so I was able to make direct comparisons between the pixel and OP6T. Seen and played around with the Pixel 3 XL but simply hated the notch but Pixel 2 & 3 performance looks more or less the same. Sure, the notch can be hidden by the UI but that makes the screen estate smaller than the Pixel 2 XL (with a large forehead).
1. Pixel camera is generally better. Night mode on pixel looks better than OP6T and is more forgiving. If you don't have steady hands or can't keep the camera steady, OP6T cams will turn out blurry. Alternatively, just use GCam for nightmode on OP6T.
2. The extra RAM on the OP6T makes a big difference, unless you run 1-2 apps at a time and constantly terminate the apps.
3. The OP6T speakers suck. Pixels dual front-firing speakers are loud and clear which makes for better sounding calls and watching videos. Not an issue if you mostly use a headset like me.
4. FP unlock on the pixels are faster than OP6T. Would be nice if the OP6T has both front and back FP unlock.
Frankly speaking, I don't think the price on the Pixel 3s are justified. I chose the OP6T because its what I wanted the Pixel 3 to be - top-notch hardware with almost-stock android.

I am looking for a new phone and B&H has a great deal on the 6T. I am torn between buying a new 6T or waiting for the Pixel 4a. Do you have advice?
Thanks
I recently bought mine for roughly 210$ minimally used. With the current announced specs of the Pixel 4a the OnePlus 6T should still be on top performance wise.
Do keep in mind the 6T is nearly 2 yrs old and will not receive new android version after 11. If that matters to you get the Pixel, else the 6T is still a great phone even by 2020 standards

Also consider storage for your usage, fingerprint sensor, and overall size.
I have a Pixel 3 (which is about the same physical size as the Pixel 4a) and a 6T.
Fingerprint sensor: I much prefer the rear-mounted sensor on the Pixel. The in-screen sensor on the 6T can be finicky and takes longer to read but it does have face unlock which works really well.
Size: The 6T feels significantly larger when using it with one hand and in pockets.
Storage isn't an issue for me as the 64GB in the Pixel 3 is more than enough so the 128GB in the 6T is just a bonus. When I do play mobile games, it's always on the 6T only because of the additional storage, bigger screen, and bigger battery.
i have 6t and im waiting for 4a because of camera. the one in 6t is awful. i hate colors it produce and the oil painting effect.
also the fingerprint sensor has troubles with my fingerprints.

Hey, check out the OnePlus Z, it should be similarly priced to the Pixel 4a, and has a 90 hz display.

Yes wait for oneolus z.... You wont regret it!
I went throught the same decision process. Got the 6T. It was $300 vs. $500 and waiting til October. I love it. Not worried about support because it's a very popular device with lots of dev support for 3rd party roms and I won't be keeping longer than 2 years anyway. I've seen reviews that compare the camera favorably compared to pixels. I like the camera (but of course I'm coming from an Essential).
