You are a fascinating specimen... See, I think iOS is ugly. But it's the simple things that keep people simple. S9 hideous?! You do have some rather different taste don't you.

LOL whut?
Pixel 3: 5.5", SD845, 4GB RAM, 64GB, $800.
Pocophone F1: 6.1", SD845, 6GB RAM, 64GB, $300.
Google is even greedier than Apple.
Wow, the hate on here is real! I’d be satisfied with either the XS or the Pixel 3.

Either Xiaomi is taking a hit on each Pocophone, or there’s a lot of fees they don’t have to pay since it isn’t a US release, or some combination of both.

The Pixel 3 and 3XL may give the Xs and Xs Max a run for it’s money if it has LTE connectivity issues too.
I do have to laugh at the way Android phone makers mock Apple's changes (no headphone jack, notch) shortly before copying those exact changes because they realize that copying the iPhone is the only way they can succeed. I'm not sure why they don't see that this happens every time. Next time Apple decides to get rid or add something, Google and Samsung should just praise it and assure their customers that their next phones will be Apple clones.
That article doesn’t say anything about selling users information. Furthermore developers of 3rd party email clients like Spark, Airmail, Dispatch and many others are able to “read” your email so that they can offer certain features to their users. Also it doesn’t say anything about user identifiable information. I suppose it could be part of it but I’m not sure. Bottom line is if I install a 3rd party email client I expect them to have access to my emails for the purposes I mentioned above.
I guarantee you don’t have a 512GB Max and just want to whine and complain.
I mean it literally says it in the quote I replied to you with “leaving 8,000 unredacted emails to be read by employees”. The WSJ article is behind a paywall but if you search and come in through a search engine you’ll find even more explicit confirmation that personally identifiable information was not redacted in those mails.
Ok, so in the last post you were convinced that selling that information would be the death of Google
But now you think they’ll give it away for free instead, which somehow won’t be their death. Makes sense.
Anyway, on-topic. These devices are garbage. 32Gb eMMC tablet for only slightly less than iPad Pro.
Typical way to promote an Android phone: I’m an Apple fan. I have an iPhone, but this [Android phone] is better.
Proof that customer demand for iPhone commands a higher profit. You can't just arbitrarily set your profit level, you need to sell something at a price that enough people are willing to pay...
*Knocks on door*
Do you have a moment to talk about out lord and savior the Pocophone F1?
The camera is not the only area where engineering has been done. The A12 processor is one example of significant difference between the two efforts.
Of all the four big tech companies, (Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon), I’d agree that Apple is the least sleazy
Actually, the Pixel XL’s notch houses a second forward-facing speaker. The forward-facing speakers probably direct sound better than edge-mounted ones. Speakers are still useful—and not a nusance in the hands of considerate persons.
I suppose the wide angle selfie lens is for people with actual friends—not lonely narcissists.
I love how you want to make small issues VERY BIG ISSUES. The yellow screen has always been proven to manufacturing and the glue having to heal. If the screen has been bad, apple replaces the phone asap at a store versus Google saying "the screen isnt bad" like the pixel 2 xl that had the worse screen ever AND takes up to a week to get a replacement. I know this cause I had to deal with a bad nexus 5 at launch and i know people who had have DOA pixels and same result.
As for the signal, it was a software issue AND fixed.
I have neither of this issues and many of us owners dont, so what are you complaining about again?
How about you worry about pixel 3 xl back scratching without even being in pockets yet. MKBHD and a bunch of others had micro scratches on theirs without even having it in pockets, mainly just on top tables and stuff. One person had obvious scratches that made NO sense but he found out resting the USB C cable on the back causes scratches on it. Worry about this which is a MAJOR issue and wont be fixed just like pixel 2 xl screen.
They’re trying to maximize screen space, just like Apple. The fact that their notches don’t house as many sensors is beside the point.
you saved 100$, and having much uglier phone, half the time of software update, cheaper materials (not stainless steel, especially garbage back), low privacy Android
there, I just summed up for you guys
I think I speak for the majority of us here when I say, this is a really, reaally hideous phone.
It seems only Apple (and a couple other companies) know how to not have a chin. And the iPhone X notch is the nicest looking slimmest notch compared to all the copycats. Why is that notch on the Pixel 3 so DEEP? Why is that chin so big? Is it that hard to emulate what Apple is doing? iPhone X/XS/XS Max really are gorgeous phones in comparison.

Google today announced its latest flagship smartphones, the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL, which are designed to compete with Apple's new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
MacRumors was in attendance at Google's fall unveiling event and was able to get some hands-on time with the new devices, and we did a quick comparison to the iPhone XS Max.
Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
The 5.5-inch Google Pixel 3, which has no notch, is similar in size to the 5.8-inch iPhone XS, while the 6.3-inch Pixel 3 XL is similar in size to the iPhone XS Max and takes some design cues from Apple's devices.
As we saw in leaked images and heard in rumors leading up to the Pixel 3 XL's debut, it has a deep notch on the front housing its front-facing camera system. The rest of the display isn't quite edge-to-edge due to a chin at the bottom that's missing from Apple's devices.
The Pixel 3 XL continues to use a single-lens 12-megapixel rear camera system, but Google has implemented an HDR+ mode that's similar to Apple's Smart HDR for combining multiple shots into one much better image. Dual 8-megapixel cameras are available on the front of the device, and Google touted a new group selfie feature with a wide-angle lens able to capture 184 percent more than the iPhone XS.
Inside, the new Pixel smartphones are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, 4GB RAM, and up to 128GB of storage. The Pixel 3 offers a 2,915 mAh battery, while the XL model has a 3,430 mAh battery.
Google's Pixel 3 is priced at $799, while the Pixel 3 XL is priced at $899, making both devices more affordable than the iPhone XS and XS Max. The new devices are available for pre-order starting today ahead of an October 18 launch.
What do you think of the iPhone XS's latest competitor? Stay tuned to MacRumors because we'll have a more in-depth comparison video pitting the Google and Apple smartphones against one another next week.
