Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL released

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, successors to Pixel 2 models are official and the leaks were spot on. Pixel 3 XL comes with 6.3″ display with big notch and Pixel 3 comes with a 5.5″ display. Pixel 3 will be priced at $799 and Pixel 3 XL will be priced at $899. In India, both phones will be available on Flipkart. Google Pixel 3 is priced at Rs.71,000/- for 64GB and 80,000/- for 128GB variant. Google Pixel 3 XL is priced at 83,000/- for 64GB and 92,000/- for 128GB.

Google Pixel 3 Camera improvements

With respect to design, Pixel 3 is very similar to Pixel 2 but Pixel 3 XL has turned totally ugly, thanks to that hideous notch. Pricing is good though. For 799$, you can get the Pixel 3 and for 100$ more, you can get the XL variant. Thats way less than what you pay for top of the line Samsung and Apple smartphones.

• Capture smiles, not blinks: A feature we call Top Shot uses AI to help you capture the perfect photo every time. When you take a motion photo, it captures alternate shots in HDR+, then recommends the best one—even if it’s not exactly when you hit the shutter—looking for those where everyone is smiling, with eyes open, and facing the camera.
• Get better zoom: When you zoom in on a phone camera, the image looks grainy. Super Res Zoom is a computational photography technique, traditionally used for astronomy and scientific imaging, that produces sharp details when you zoom.
• No light; no problem: Pixel 3 lets you take natural-looking photos in dark surroundings, all without a flash. With Night Sight, coming soon to Pixel 3, you can take bright, detailed, colorful shots around the campfire, in a moonlit forest, or after you close out the bar.
• No selfie stick required: Get everyone in the picture with Group Selfie, which gives you 184 percent more room in your photo for friends and scenery.
• Look … no hands! Photobooth mode uses AI to recognize that when you’re smiling or making a funny expression, you’re ready for a selfie. It snaps the photo on its own so you don’t need to reach for the shutter button—a good option for candids.  
• Even more stunning portraits, front and back: When you take photos in Portrait Mode, you can change the blurriness of the background, or change the part of the picture in focus, after the fact. Google Photos can also make the subject of your photo pop by leaving them in color, while changing the background to black and white.
• Create and play: In Playground, you can make photos, selfies and videos come to life by adding your favorite superheroes, animated stickers and fun captions. In celebration of Marvel Studios’ 10 Year Anniversary, you’ll enjoy seeing the characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (exclusively on Pixel) react to each other and to you. New packs for Weather, Pets, Sports and Signs let you have everyday fun, and coming later this year, you’ll be able to sharpen your dance skills with moves from Childish Gambino.
• Super smooth video: When you want to capture something that won’t stop moving—think an adorable toddler or your new puppy—Motion Auto Focus will make sure your Pixel 3 camera stays in sharp focus automatically, as you record. And if you happen to be taking a selfie video while walking or moving around, Pixel 3 brings you front-facing video stabilization.
