"The 4GB RAM, in this case, is a major bottleneck. The phone has a hard time keeping applications open in the background. You can keep 4-5 apps open in the background before the phone runs out of memory and starts shutting them down"

Wow, what a FU "review" and full of lies probably. Really, GSMArena? What happened to your usual standards of actually reviewing a phone like you've been doing past many years? I usually don't comment here, but this definitely need one before I removed your website from my bookmarks. So long, folks!

    If google keeps experimenting with notches, next year XL will have a vertical notch that links top to bottom and will be casually called "dual display".

      Joe, 12 Nov 20182018 Google Top shot = 2017 Sony predictive cupture Actually it is a poor copy.
      As stated by Android Headlines, the Top Shot takes pics of 1MP and can't keep focus between the shots.
      While Predictive Capture is up to 19MP with AF, also since Xz1 the burst has AF. Something other brands don't offer...

        "However, some specs do have a very direct effect on performance. The 4GB RAM, in this case, is a major bottleneck. The phone has a hard time keeping applications open in the background. You can keep 4-5 apps open in the background before the phone runs out of memory and starts shutting them down."

        do we really need ram more than 4GB in smartphone? I think 3-4GB ram is still enough for now, my phone ram usage is about 2 up to 2,3 GB of 4GB.

            Fintoyu, 12 Nov 2018You are trippin'. What camera ?? What design ??Just my opinion dude, if you get chance to have a go on one try it out. So much nicer in the flesh. My wife has an iPhone xs max, and my P3XL camera blows it away. Even my my friends mate 20 pro doesn't take pics as good.

                      if google wants any sign of life for future Pixel phones all people that was involved in creation of Pixel 3 XL must be fired immediately as this phone is bad in every aspect from design,hardware or software.

                          In the review on Pixel 3, you wrote:
                          "We desperately wanted to believe Google had cracked it and managed to make zooming in possible without actually having a longer lens, but that's not really the case. In good light, the Pixel's super res zoom is simply no match for the telephoto cameras of the iPhone and the Galaxy"

                          But in this review:
                          "Most of the time, the 2x digital zoom images on the Pixel 3 XL display look very similar to optically 2x zoomed images on other phones"

                          Uhh... what?

                            Dolanescu, 12 Nov 2018Huawei = False advertising... cheaters... etc... etc... you buy only papers specs ;) "First 7... moreYou can't compare Pixel series to phones made by Samsung, Apple or Huawei... I'm sorry to say this but Pixels are absolute dumpster fire when it comes to the actual reliability as a product. And in which aspects does this phone do better than, let's say, Note 9, iPhone XS Max or Mate 20 Pro? You need to face it, Pixel 3 XL just can't match the quality of flagship phones from top dogs.
