Using the Google Pixel 3 XL for the First Time After Only Three Days

It's still early days since I started using this phone, and I'll continue to use it as my primary phone for the next couple of weeks. If I notice any issues with the screen, including "screen burnin", that's a major issue and I'll be sure to mention it on Twitter and other platforms. So, follow me if you want to stay updated on my experience with this phone.

LG OLED Screen: Why Google Was Forced to Use This One

The best AMOLED screens are being created by Samsung Display, and recently, Apple has moved to a red screen for the iPhone 10. However, due to the limited supply of OLED screens from Samsung, other manufacturers like Google were forced to look for alternatives. That's why Google invested almost $1 billion in LG's plants to produce OLED screens. Even Apple joined in on this investment because Samsung is controlling the market for AMOLED technology, and it's not yet mature enough.

LG's Investment in OLED Technology

Google's decision to partner with LG was a strategic move to ensure that they would have access to high-quality OLED screens for their phones. However, it's worth noting that LG is a couple of generations behind Samsung in terms of AMOLED technology. While Samsung's OLED panels on the Note 8 and Galaxy S9+ are vastly superior, Google's Pixel 3 XL has an OLED screen that, although good, doesn't quite match the quality of Samsung's panels.

The Verdict on LG's OLED Screen

In comparison to other smartphones with OLED screens, such as the OnePlus 6T, which also uses a panel from a different manufacturer (HTC), Google's Pixel 3 XL has a screen that is not as superior. The regular Pixel 2, made by HTC, actually has better picture quality and does not have the same "tilting issues" as the Pixel 3 XL.

Next-Gen iPhones: Why LG Screens Will Be Used

It's been rumored that Apple will start using panels from LG for most of their new phones next year, including the iPhone 9 or iPhone 11. This is because Samsung is struggling to supply OLED screens to other manufacturers due to its high demand and limited production capacity.

Capturing Portrait Modes with Ease

One common question among users is how to capture portrait modes, which are available on both the front-facing and rear-facing cameras. To enable this feature, simply go to the settings menu and look for the "Portrait mode" option. From there, you can take a normal photograph and let the camera software do its magic.

Camera Performance: Top-Notch

The camera performance of the Pixel 3 XL is indeed top-notch, and it's easily beating the iPhone 8 Plus in many situations. I took some sample photos side-by-side with other smartphones to compare their quality, and the results were impressive.

Sample Photos with Portrait Mode

I also took some samples using portrait mode on both my own phone and a friend's Pixel 2 XL (which has a better camera). The results were stunning, and I'll be posting more photos in my next video review of this phone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjit and in this video I'll be answering the most common questions that I was getting regarding this pixel to excel and have been using this smartphone as my primary smartphone for the last three days and I've got quite a few questions from you but before that as you can see this of all it has got that interesting pattern actually we partnered with Asian Paints and they have done this job actually this is the role play wall fashion so if you're getting your house painted instead of just getting it painted normally you can also have it attractive patterns like this again check out the raw play wall fashion now coming back to these questions as you can see I've got quite a few so let's start taking it there now and what do I feel about this Google pixel to excel after using it for a couple of days and yes and also be including the questions that you have about the screen and some of the screen issues that are rampant about this one so we'll talk about that also but the first question this is from Brahma he's asking does it have a physical LED notification light and what about screen burning is it that deal breaking first let's talk about the physical no difficulty notification like yes it actually does have a physical LED notification light here at the top but by default it is actually switched off so you have to go into the settings display options and actually activate it and yes it verse it's a tiny one but that works moving to the screen burning issue as I've told you guys have been using this for just about three days now as my primary smartphone as of now I don't notice any screen burning issue on anything that the screen burning again I'll have to use it for again two or more weeks or so then I'll be able to answer but as of now I'm not noticing the screen burnin issue but yeah that if you tilt the phone for example this is Twitter at the white background that's what I've noticed on white backgrounds if you tilt it a little bit it gets slightly on the blue side and this is actually there if you look at straight nothing happens but if you tilt it the screen tends to become blue but and this is definitely there and I feel that's a hardware issue that cannot be solved by the software coming to other things like the colors are dull that can be actually solved with the software and Google has already mentioned they will be pushing out update with 8.1 Oreo where we will have option of having extra saturated colors but that screen tilting when you have I notice that only on white screen generally you tilted that blue tint is definitely there next question is from Anna Rock how many hours of screen on time does it provide ask compared to the note 8 and iPhone 8 plus iPhone 8 plus again you know iPhones you can't simply calculate correctly the SOT so I'll talk about the what is in Note 8 with the note 8 when I was using it as my primary smartphone I was hoping anywhere between four and a half hours of screen on time that was the average that I was getting a match that I touched was fires on this one with the first charge I touched to find half hours of screen on time and just now the second charge was the second was completed and it tests about 6 hours 10 minutes so roughly between fanta half ass to 6 hours of screen on time you can expect so definitely yeah in terms of battery life it will give you better battery life compared to the noted with the note 8 when a heavy day usage at the end of the day I used to get anxious and I would say if it was a heavy day hard to put it on charge but off with this one I'm not noticing that this is by cement what are your thoughts on the portrait mode of the pixel camera so me just watch the other video that I posted just last Saturday I'll have the link in the description area there I compared the camera performance of this pixel to excel with the regular pixel and yes this one actually has that portrait mode for both the back and the front and to be frank the results are actually very good again check out the samples for yourself in fact I was amazed with the front facing cameras portrait quality yeah obviously they were talking a lot about the rear facing camera but yeah even the front facing camera has that portrait mode and actually it works very well this is by Maroof or is it an overall balanced device do you think Note 8 and acid are better options as they are cheaper and offer more hardware and software features I would say the big advantage to notate in the s8 has is the screen the screen is definitely better on the rotate in fact I would say the screen quality of the notate as of now is the best in the world even the upcoming iPhone 10 I'll be getting that I don't think so that'll compete and the screen quality compared to the noted the note that has the best screen so yeah if scream is the highest priority go with that but the problem with the Samsung phone generally is that when I can attach to this because I've used Samsung phones for example the Galaxy s8 Himani was actually using that one as his primary smartphone but now what it's almost four and a half or five months it started lagging battery life was bad on that and I think should now he has sold it so that's the problem with Samsung phones though yeah the hardware is good and stuff but after five six months this tend to a lag and also the battery drains dhatus what differentiates this pixel devices these pixel devices I would say unlike iPhones even after a year or so the performance is very good because Google just doesn't add blue air and they're very proactive about pushing updates so that is the biggest thing I would say the advantage of pixel devices is this software and the software updates and they don't tend to lag and in fact I would say my pixel excel that's over a year now I've been using it it hardly lags compared to the s7 that I had the s7 became so bad that I just sold it recently my wife's so that's the problem I feel Samsung should really concentrate on what do you say yeah initially when you get the phone for the first couple of a 3-4 months it doesn't lag but afterwards it tends to lag so in that area the pixel but yeah screen quality anyway I would say the note 8 and even the Galaxy s8 screen would be better those don't have that what do you say Delta if you try it the colors will shift and stuff like that and I'll talk about the screen quality later on this one more question so I'll take up that this is the harsh it is the now playing feature accurate enough harsh yet to be frank I didn't actually test that notice by default it's not enabled I got just got busy I was testing other stuff so I didn't test that now playing feature you have to actually enable it in the settings this is by Gupta how's that management of the pixel 2xn can it hold more apps in memory than the note 8 which has 60 B of RAM the RAM management has been excellent on this pixel to excel I would say I didn't bother about the ROM management that means the Raman it was very good and again while regular using the phone I never felt like the apps were reloading and stuff so in terms of RAM management it is done very well the note idea has 6 GB of RAM but again if you recall with the Galaxy s8 when I reviewed it had 4 GB of RAM I had I was talking about ROM management problems so it's the optimization guys that is there with these pixel devices just like the iPhone it's very very very highly optimized so even with 4 gigabytes of RAM the performance I would say it's the fastest Android phone that I've used and it is the most fluid Android device it yes it just flies whatever you touch it just loads so no problems regarding RAM management but yeah I feel at least for the XL because we like what do you say the prices of about 73,000 they should have given 6 gigabytes of RAM but yeah even with 4 it just flies this is vice but well he is asking what do you say the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at 67,000 not the pixel to excel at 73 done been getting a lot of questions like this again it depends I would say yeah the screen has a slight compromise as I've told you on particularly white background for example I use Twitter a lot if you if you tilt it you I don't know the camera will capture the Sun you see that blue tent a screen that is there that is not simply not there on the noted so if screen is your highest priority just go with the Note 8 but I've used both these both the devices to notate I and even this one but I am preferring this one because this is a lot lighter it gets slightly more battery life almost 1 or extra screen on time compared to the note 8 and also it's not that heavy and I would say in camera actually this one is doing a far better job and it also has that front facing camera actually that has a portrait mode and that actually works I thought it would be a gimmick but it actually works so yeah both of them are actually very good phone but I would personally pick this one because I know that this will get the updates quicker not slowed down over time but yeah screen quality definitely man the note it has awesome screen next this is my jug tea she's asking you say it's fluid how's it performing compared to other snapdragon 35 chipset as I've told you the note 8 also the international variant has a stamp raga need 35 but I do notice some micro lags at time and guys you are paying for the software experience as it's a pure Android Android it's developed by Google and this is by Google so they have optimized it like crazy so it is the most fluid device though it's running the same processor like the oneplus of five one plus five in fact I would say is also a very fluid device but again recently I was testing the Nokia eight that also has the Snapdragon 835 but this is just way more fluid in operations so again it comes down to the software optimization I would say you are paying that premium not just for the hardware but it's the software optimization and I think so Google is just keeping that new launcher the extra software optimization for the pixel devices sad but yeah that's the case this is by shhh how's the speaker and the earpiece on this one and the charging time okay a lot of questions of speaker it has that dual speakers I think so let me just play a really one of my own videos if I can the speakers are actually a very well I would say it's comparable to the speakers on the iPhone 8 2 plus those who are also dual speaker for example that's just the speaker and here we have a speaker so the speaker quality is actually really good it's almost comparable to the iPhone 8 plus front firing speakers again it's a proper front firing speakers here and here so the audio why the speaker is actually good on this one and this is by octave is the blue tent on the screen or pixels noticeable by using the phone normally with the REC normally I would say it's not visible for example when I was watching videos and stuff it's not matte and normal background colors and stuff it's not but whenever you it comes to mostly white background you will actually notice it it's a big bummer and I noticed this the first day itself so yes you will actually notice it if it's a white or a plain background it simply shifts the color as you can see and guys this is a hardware thing this cannot be solved with a software I don't know whatever anybody says this is a hardware issue this cannot be the stealth issue when it shows blue will not be solved with the software yeah the color thing they can boost it up easily of a software and Google has promised they will give a software up but this is a hardware thing this cannot be solved this is by Shubham will it be okay to buy the pixel now rather than the pixel - or the pixelation yes Shubham actually I feel even the original pixel - or the original pixel or the pixel XL are still a very good phone in fact just three days ago I posted a camera comparison with this pixel to excel I compared it with the original pixel XL and still I would say yeah this we this has a better camera has let's put rate nodes but still the pixel XL has a very good camera and still it's a very fluid phone I was using the pixel excel just at the last month and still I would say it's a very very fluid phone and now in these on light side sometimes when you go and get those deals on Amazon and Flipkart it was going as low as 34,000 and I feel for that price point yes it's still a kick-ass phone yeah the bezels are big on that one but yeah in terms of performance still it's a very good phone and it's also got the new pixel launcher I just updated my pixel original xn and it got this new pixel launcher so they are still updating the old pixel with the new features that you are getting on the splitsville - Excel software wise this is an you know the how is the haptic feedback does it compare to the iPhone taptic engine haptic feedback is there guys but again it does not as good as the taptic engine feedback that you get on the iPhones that is another level I would say this gives what vibration like other normal Android phones so yeah but yeah iPhone because of the taptic engine it's it's just on another level the vibration feedback that you get with that one this by the park how fast is the pixel too XL battery charging when compared to the oneplus - shining the - charging is definitely way faster with a - charger when it was I think so I remember the one plus five when it was about 9% it fully charged in about one hour of nine minutes or so and this one will actually take close to about two hours to fully charge it the charges - about 90% in one and a half hours but the last 10% actually this takes almost half an hour to charge so fully charging this will take to us the one plus roughly about one hour 10 minutes so definitely the fast charger fast charging on one plus the - charging is be faster in fact I timed it in 60 minutes this pixel to excel with the supplied charges charges 70% it's only the last what do you say last 15% it actually takes a lot of time to charge this fine New Yorker he says as it does not have the headphone jack what is the quality of the audio output by the USB C port that is the USB 3.5 mm headphone jack yes sadly they have omitted the headphone jack like the iPhones I don't know why they did it when I hate you Google for that yes now you have to use that dongle supplied dongle for 3.5 mm headphone jack and I would say the audio quality is good enough but not the best that I have heard for examples LG v 20 had a far better audio output via the headphone jack so it's good enough it's not bad but again it's not the best and then I have heard that the LG v 30 that is coming has a far superior what do you say 3.5 mm headphone jack so yeah it's not a deal-breaker but again it's not among the best that I've heard this is Bobby shake how many years will it receive software and security update Google has actually promised three years of security updates and software updates on these pixel two devices both the 2 and the 2 X N and also they have bumped up the warranty almost every phone again even flagships have just one year of warranty but the pixel - and the pixel - Excel will have 2 years of warranty this is by Jay era he is asking cellular calls and volte yes the cellular call quality is fine we have been actually using this with a 1040 that's my primary sim and he obviously the volte was in fact geo is also giving some offers on this smartphone you can check out geo app site for details Harsha is asking how is the LG OLED screen on the pixel to excel yeah there are issues with the one as I've told you the biggest thing that you will notice immediately after getting this device and even if you check it in the store check with any right background for example Twitter and stuff if you just touch the screen it will show that blue 10th and that is easily actually visible so that is an issue with this colors are also sort of muted on this I would say they have that vivid mode but again hardly makes any difference but google has promised that they will be adding one more new mode on this that with 8.1 update I believe that will come next month it's still in beta so my next month will have one more mode where the saturation the colors will be boosted like we see on normal AMOLED screens and there is another issue that people were talking that is a screen burnin issue I haven't faced it but it's too early it's just been about three days since I've been using so again I'll be continuing using this phone as my primary phone for the next couple of weeks and if I notice that screen burnin it should that's a major issue if it is there I will surely mention about this at and on Twitter and stuff so do follow me and now let's talk about this LG OLED screen the why Google was forced to use this one actually the best AMOLED screens are being created by Sampson and recently if you notice Apple has moved to a red screen that is the iPhone 10 will have the OLED screen and right now the node on samsung is so much that they simply cannot supply OLED screens to other providers in fact even to that's the reason I read somewhere that the iPhone 8 and the 8 plus Apple actually wanted to put an AMOLED screen on that one but Samsung's could simply not provide that so what Google and in fact even Apple did is I don't recall the exact number but Google invested almost 1 billion dollars in LG's to invested in their plants so that they can make OLED screens and even Apple actually implement that because Samson is actually keeping the best AMOLED screens for themselves in fact if you notice the note 8 the noted has the best hammerhead screen even the iPhone 10 Samsung didn't give them the best panel they gave them the one generation old panel again yeah I found a manufacturer and I familes are sending the false I'll keep the best for me myself so that's the reason what he said Google simply went with LG and the fact simple fact is that LG is a couple of generations behind Samsung in AMOLED technology so if you compare Samsung OLED panels that we get on the note 8 on the SAT they have actually vastly superior but even Apple has invested in LG because again Samson can control the market of amulet and again it's not that mature that technology hence the panel that we are getting with this early smartphones LG on this pixel to excel is I would say not comparable to the bullet panel that we are getting with something in fact I would say the regular pixel 2 which is made by HTC has a Samsung panel and if you compare it side-by-side that one has better picture quality and does not have those big tilting issues like this one is having so yeah definitely Samsung has better panels but again Google didn't have an option and they had to go with LG and in fact it's been rumored that Apple next year will be moving many of the new phones whatever they call it iPhone 9 iPhone 11 or whatever they'll be moving to all red screen for most of the phones and they'll start using panels from LG because Samsung is simply not able to provide that many panels to these manufacturers this is by rakesh how to capture portrait modes portrait mode is very simple it's just a setting for both the rail facing and the front-facing camera let me just show you for the front-facing camera if you just go to the settings you have just had the portrait book so if you just invoke that now the portrait mode is enabled and you just take a normal photograph and it just shoots so it it is there for both the front and the rear facing camera as you can see this is like over yeah I can change it to the portrait mode is just a simple setting you don't have to do anything though it just has a single lens it's able to do that portrait mode because of artificial intelligence and the results actually have been very good and also some of you have asked me about the camera performance of this one the camera performance is actually top-notch and I feel as of now it's the best camera it's easily beating the iPhone 8 plus gamma I took some sample side by side and almost I would say in many of the situations it's even beating the note it's camera so camera wise actually it is a very good smartphone again check out the camera a video that I posted just a couple of days ago where I compared this one the pixel to excels camera with the pixel excels camera I took a lot of samples in various lighting situation very low lighting conditions outdoor even indoor lighting conditions and even I took some samples with the so called portrait mode and they came out actually occurred so these were the common questions that I was getting regarding the pixel to X L overall I liked the phone but ER regarding the screen that blue 10th issue is a real thing and it is there again I'm still testing this phone guy so I will be posting let's review after about one and a half weeks or so so if you still have any particular questions regarding this pixel to XL do post your questions in the YouTube comments section below and I try to actually include them thank you this is Ron G tan I hope to see you in my next videohi there this is Ranjit and in this video I'll be answering the most common questions that I was getting regarding this pixel to excel and have been using this smartphone as my primary smartphone for the last three days and I've got quite a few questions from you but before that as you can see this of all it has got that interesting pattern actually we partnered with Asian Paints and they have done this job actually this is the role play wall fashion so if you're getting your house painted instead of just getting it painted normally you can also have it attractive patterns like this again check out the raw play wall fashion now coming back to these questions as you can see I've got quite a few so let's start taking it there now and what do I feel about this Google pixel to excel after using it for a couple of days and yes and also be including the questions that you have about the screen and some of the screen issues that are rampant about this one so we'll talk about that also but the first question this is from Brahma he's asking does it have a physical LED notification light and what about screen burning is it that deal breaking first let's talk about the physical no difficulty notification like yes it actually does have a physical LED notification light here at the top but by default it is actually switched off so you have to go into the settings display options and actually activate it and yes it verse it's a

actually I feel even the original pixel - or the original pixel or the pixel XL are still a very good phone in fact just three days ago I posted a camera comparison with this pixel to excel I compared it with the original pixel XL and still I would say yeah this we this has a better camera has let's put rate nodes but still the pixel XL has a very good camera and still it's a very fluid phone I was using the pixel excel just at the last month and still I would say it's a very very fluid phone and now in these on light side sometimes when you go and get those deals on Amazon and Flipkart it was going as low as 34,000 and I feel for that price point yes it's still a kick-ass phone yeah the bezels are big on that one but yeah in terms of performance still it's a very good phone and it's also got the new pixel launcher I just updated my pixel original xn and it got this new pixel launcher so they are still updating the old pixel with the new features that you are getting on the splitsville - Excel software wise this is an you know the how is the haptic feedback does it compare to the iPhone taptic engine haptic feedback is there guys but again it does not as good as the taptic engine feedback that you get on the iPhones that is another level I would say this gives what vibration like other normal Android phones so yeah but yeah iPhone because of the taptic engine it's it's just on another level the vibration feedback that you get with that one this by the park how fast is the pixel too XL battery charging when compared to the oneplus - shining the - charging is definitely way faster with a - charger when it was I think so I remember the one plus five when it was about 9% it fully charged in about one hour of nine minutes or so and this one will actually take close to about two hours to fully charge it the charges - about 90% in one and a half hours but the last 10% actually this takes almost half an hour to charge so fully charging this will take to us the one plus roughly about one hour 10 minutes so definitely the fast charger fast charging on one plus the - charging is be faster in fact I timed it in 60 minutes this pixel to excel with the supplied charges charges 70% it's only the last what do you say last 15% it actually takes a lot of time to charge this fine New Yorker he says as it does not have the headphone jack what is the quality of the audio output by the USB C port that is the USB 3.5 mm headphone jack yes sadly they have omitted the headphone jack like the iPhones I don't know why they did it when I hate you Google for that yes now you have to use that dongle supplied dongle for 3.5 mm headphone jack and I would say the audio quality is good enough but not the best that I have heard for examples LG v 20 had a far better audio output via the headphone jack so it's good enough it's not bad but again it's not the best and then I have heard that the LG v 30 that is coming has a far superior what do you say 3.5 mm headphone jack so yeah it's not a deal-breaker but again it's not among the best that I've heard this is Bobby shake how many years will it receive software and security update Google has actually promised three years of security updates and software updates on these pixel two devices both the 2 and the 2 X N and also they have bumped up the warranty almost every phone again even flagships have just one year of warranty but the pixel - and the pixel - Excel will have 2 years of warranty this is by Jay era he is asking cellular calls and volte yes the cellular call quality is fine we have been actually using this with a 1040 that's my primary sim and he obviously the volte was in fact geo is also giving some offers on this smartphone you can check out geo app site for details Harsha is asking how is the LG OLED screen on the pixel to excel yeah there are issues with the one as I've told you the biggest thing that you will notice immediately after getting this device and even if you check it in the store check with any right background for example Twitter and stuff if you just touch the screen it will show that blue 10th and that is easily actually visible so that is an issue with this colors are also sort of muted on this I would say they have that vivid mode but again hardly makes any difference but google has promised that they will be adding one more new mode on this that with 8.1 update I believe that will come next month it's still in beta so my next month will have one more mode where the saturation the colors will be boosted like we see on normal AMOLED screens and there is another issue that people were talking that is a screen burnin issue I haven't faced it but it's too early it's just been about three days since I've been using so again I'll be continuing using this phone as my primary phone for the next couple of weeks and if I notice that screen burnin it should that's a major issue if it is there I will surely mention about this at and on Twitter and stuff so do follow me and now let's talk about this LG OLED screen the why Google was forced to use this one actually the best AMOLED screens are being created by Sampson and recently if you notice Apple has moved to a red screen that is the iPhone 10 will have the OLED screen and right now the node on samsung is so much that they simply cannot supply OLED screens to other providers in fact even to that's the reason I read somewhere that the iPhone 8 and the 8 plus Apple actually wanted to put an AMOLED screen on that one but Samsung's could simply not provide that so what Google and in fact even Apple did is I don't recall the exact number but Google invested almost 1 billion dollars in LG's to invested in their plants so that they can make OLED screens and even Apple actually implement that because Samson is actually keeping the best AMOLED screens for themselves in fact if you notice the note 8 the noted has the best hammerhead screen even the iPhone 10 Samsung didn't give them the best panel they gave them the one generation old panel again yeah I found a manufacturer and I familes are sending the false I'll keep the best for me myself so that's the reason what he said Google simply went with LG and the fact simple fact is that LG is a couple of generations behind Samsung in AMOLED technology so if you compare Samsung OLED panels that we get on the note 8 on the SAT they have actually vastly superior but even Apple has invested in LG because again Samson can control the market of amulet and again it's not that mature that technology hence the panel that we are getting with this early smartphones LG on this pixel to excel is I would say not comparable to the bullet panel that we are getting with something in fact I would say the regular pixel 2 which is made by HTC has a Samsung panel and if you compare it side-by-side that one has better picture quality and does not have those big tilting issues like this one is having so yeah definitely Samsung has better panels but again Google didn't have an option and they had to go with LG and in fact it's been rumored that Apple next year will be moving many of the new phones whatever they call it iPhone 9 iPhone 11 or whatever they'll be moving to all red screen for most of the phones and they'll start using panels from LG because Samsung is simply not able to provide that many panels to these manufacturers this is by rakesh how to capture portrait modes portrait mode is very simple it's just a setting for both the rail facing and the front-facing camera let me just show you for the front-facing camera if you just go to the settings you have just had the portrait book so if you just invoke that now the portrait mode is enabled and you just take a normal photograph and it just shoots so it it is there for both the front and the rear facing camera as you can see this is like over yeah I can change it to the portrait mode is just a simple setting you don't have to do anything though it just has a single lens it's able to do that portrait mode because of artificial intelligence and the results actually have been very good and also some of you have asked me about the camera performance of this one the camera performance is actually top-notch and I feel as of now it's the best camera it's easily beating the iPhone 8 plus gamma I took some sample side by side and almost I would say in many of the situations it's even beating the note it's camera so camera wise actually it is a very good smartphone again check out the camera a video that I posted just a couple of days ago where I compared this one the pixel to excels camera with the pixel excels camera I took a lot of samples in various lighting situation very low lighting conditions outdoor even indoor lighting conditions and even I took some samples with the so called portrait mode and they came out actually occurred so these were the common questions that I was getting regarding the pixel to X L overall I liked the phone but ER regarding the screen that blue 10th issue is a real thing and it is there again I'm still testing this phone guy so I will be posting let's review after about one and a half weeks or so so if you still have any particular questions regarding this pixel to XL do post your questions in the YouTube comments section below and I try to actually include them thank you this is Ron G tan I hope to see you in my next video\n"
