Lol!Picked up a 3XL myself today, not had much time to play with it but seems quite polished so far. The notch is ridiculous though and gives my windscreen a run for its money.

Picked up the stand along with the XL and straight off the bat this phone sits better with me than the Mate 20, just seems a better user experience, cleaner and lot more less bloat as to be expected. Also good to type on a flat display, highly rate the Mate 20 Pro but found hitting keys near the edges a nightmare.
Time to see if my Pixel has any issues, oh and would have preferred a black charging stand.

Both my pixel stand and the Samsung wireless charger that I got with my S9 Plus charge the p3XL rapidly....I thought it was meant to be slower with non google chargers.
There's a software bug meaning that all wireless chargers show 'charging rapidly', but will only do 5W. You can see the difference for yourself if you want by installing the Ampere app and seeing the mA charge rate.

I can see what folk mean about the speakers exhibiting a lot of hiss, not impressed.

You know, I'm really not sure I like the Pixel 3.
It just looks "off" somehow, hard to explain. Maybe it's the rounded off corners on the screen, just doesn't seem to fit in the body somehow.

I'm definitely getting the speaker buzzing issue on pixel 3 XL , apparent on piano type music.

I really like the features on the Pixels. Admittedly Google could probably have implemented it a bit better but overall I prefer it. Especially the swipe right on the pill to get to your last app, that is so much handier than pressing the recent apps icon and then selecting. When I was trying the Note 9 out I found myself pawing at gestures that weren't there since it's still on Oreo.
You know even before gestures you just double tap the app switch button to go to last app? No need to go into recents
Just starting using the 3 XL as my daily from today. I do like the flat slab-o-glass-phone feeling it has. Makes it feel very wide and thin, but that might just feel like that because the Mate 20 Pro is a really thin, rounded device.
Never noticed it until that vid slight hiss sound that's ONLY coming from the top speaker not bottom on the reg 3. Doesn't bother me watched plenty of vids and it's never been noticeable.
I've got used to the gestures already and really like it. Just want the back button moved to the right.

Anyone using a Spigen rugged armour car with small pixel 3 found a screen protector that actually fits well? I had a great one on my P2 that had cut outs at the top so can and speaker grill weren't covered. Makes getting on so much simpler.
Cpwh do one but it's like £25.

I've gone and ordered the 6T anyway, I like the look of the gesture system on Oxygen OS.
