Then again, if you have a Google Pixel your phone will do all these things at no extra cost.

It is not any move at all, right or otherwise, when their chip supplier prevents then from doing anything else. Score another one for Android.

>>In fact, it makes the Pixel 3's rear-mounted fingerprint sensor feel antiquated.<< Really? from the picture it looks like it takes 2 hands to activate the sensor. Not so with Google's wonderful rear fingerprint sensor. Also, you can't have the cute little notch with dual front-facing cameras...

Has there been any such head-to-head comparison between these two camera phones?

"Another bad point: the Pixel 2 XL lens doesn’t protrude from the its backplane, like the 3 XL. This makes the 3 XL wobble when you place it on its back on a desk while the 2XL stays flat against it." WRONG! I have a Pixel 2XL and its protruding lens makes a case mandatory. Has the author...

My point was that it would be more unbiased to include a mention of the results of other comparable reports. Also, I'm not sure we can rule out the possible bias of Mr. Spoonauer, based on a review of other articles on iPhones he has written. I completely agree that most of these drop tests are...

What? No mention of the comparable test by independent Square Trade?

But it is very pretty.

Not sure what phones you have been using, but I am not aware of any discernible delays that would be revealed by the Geekbench comparisons. My thoughts do not come and go with nanosecond speed. I AM more aware of delays due to data transfer speeds. Let's see a more realistic real-world...

Except for games, this is important because . . .

@MSPOONAUER . Why is it that this site always uses the Pixel 2 in photo comparisons? The Pixel 2XL is a completely different phone and it is the one that always wins the head-to-head comparisons with iPhone X and Galaxy 9+. Suggestion: compare upload/download speeds using the SAME network for...

Why compare this phone's camera with the inferior iPhone X camera, instead of the better Android cameras? Also, unless you are a gamer, what is the relevance of the Geekbench stats? I am much more interested in upload/download speeds.

continued. I use for my wallpaper the animated Mars or Moon which has a completely black background. If I showed you my Pixel 2XL you could not even see any notch if there were one.

Do we really need another article about the notch? If Google needs the notch to support the front facing camera, so be it. They could have let the notch run all the way across, but they captured the unneeded space for alert icons, etc. So all you whiners should go out and get one of those...
