Google has officially launched the Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel Slate tablet, and Google Home Hub at the “Made By Google” 2018 event in New York. We were knowing almost everything about this year’s MadeByGoogle Android Mobile phones. Google Pixel 3/3 XL mobile phones got leaked by the different sources not only the images and specs but also a complete unboxing videos.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the third generations of Google Pixel series mobile phones which are being designed and developed by the Google, you may not find much difference among the design of all pixel smartphones launched yet but Pixel has evolved a lot for the Camera and Software experience point of view.

There are minor changes in the overall design and looks of the Pixel 3 in comparison with its predecessor Pixel 2 which is looking very good in pictures at least but when I am looking at the photos and videos of Pixel 3 XL it sucks. I hate the notch and there are many others who do not like the notch, I accept that there are also many smartphone users who like the notch so basically, it depends on the one’s preferences but I am just wondering is it necessary to do what other brands or companies are doing with the design.

Its been a year now when Apple has introduced iPhone X with the notch and after that, almost every single mobile phone brands have released phones with the notch in all budget segments but is that necessary that Company like Google should also do the same thing even after the year when Apple has launched next generation of iPhone X series.

Some Chinese Android smartphone brands like Xiaomi Oppo, Vivo, are experimenting with the design and introducing new ways to increase the screen to body ratio or reduce the bezels for example phones like Oppo Find X, Vivo Nex, Vivo V11 Pro, Xiaomi Mi Mix2 and even the recently launched budget phone like RealMe 2 Pro is having the beautiful waterdrop notch instead of the regular iPhone X type notch. Google owns the Android, it should act like trendsetter not the follower of some one-year-old design from some other brand, Google devices should be more innovative than any other Android Mobile phones.
