Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Problems And Their Solutions

The new Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are among the top five Android smartphones to date. They have top-end specifications, robust software, excellent camera features, and, of course, the artificial intelligence that Google included in them. However, the devices are not perfect. Since the launch of these phones there have been some problems related to some of their functions, and if you bought one of them, you could be experiencing one of these annoying situations as well.

In case you have any inconvenience related to your Google Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL, we have made this guide where you will find everything you need to know about the most common problems of the Pixel 3 line, and how to solve them.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Photos Are Not Automatically Saved

Several users have reported that after taking a photo with the camera application, those photos are not saved, which means that the image could disappear forever. That is a significant problem and one that seems to be quite widespread, as you can see a lot of complaints on social networks and sites like Reddit.

The problem seems to be related to the way Pixel 3, and Pixel 3 XL handle the internal storage, and it occurs specifically when users exit the camera app before HDR processing is complete. Fortunately, this means it can be fixed with a software update.

For now, the only way to avoid losing a photo is to keep the camera application open for a few seconds after the picture is taken until it is saved.

The Music App Shuts Down When You Open Google Camera App

Some other users have reported that opening the Google Camera app while listening to music causes the Music app to close in the background, stopping the playback of what you were listening to. That is another error that seems to be related to memory management in Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. In the same way that they are the previous problem, the only real solution right now is to wait for a software update. To look for an update, go to Settings -> System -> System Update and make sure you have the latest version of Android.

Your Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Is Locked With The Verizon Network

That is a situation that makes many shake their heads wondering how this is possible. What happens is that Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are exclusive Verizon phones, which basically means that Verizon is the only operator in the United States with the right to sell these devices.

However, some users reported that when they bought the Pixel 3 from Best Buy, in order not to have to deal with this problem, they found that it was also locked to work only on the Verizon network, which means that users who bought the phone could not activate it on another network.

Fortunately, it appears that Verizon, at least temporarily, has fully unlocked Pixel 3. The unlock was sent to Pixel 3 phones via an OTA software update, so you should be able to set up your phone without a SIM card, then update and activate it on the network of your choice.

Google Pixel 3 XL Teardown Revealed Samsung Display And The New Google Titan M Security Chip

Experts at iFixIt ripped open the new Google Pixel 3 XL and discovered many new additions in comparison with the previous model, the Pixel 2 XL. Accordingly, the new Google flagship smartphone boasts the Google Titan M Security chip and the all-new Samsung AMOLED panel which displays brighter and more saturated colors than the last year’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

Besides, according to iFixIt, the new Google Pixel 3 XL construction presents massive amounts of glue, particularly for the rear glass panel, which makes it difficult to repair. In fact, the iFixIt experts even broke some of the smartphone’s components in the process, including the earphone and a ribbon cable underneath the battery. Because of all that, iFixIt gave Pixel 3 XL a repairability score of 4 out of 10.

While Google Pixel 3 XL boasts many new additions under the hood, some of the components are the same used on Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, as well as on other smartphone models of other manufacturers.

Google Pixel 3 XL Teardown Revealed Samsung Display And The New Google Titan M Security Chip

As we’ve already pointed out, Google Pixel 3 XL teardown put up by iFixIt reveals that the new smartphone model boasts a Samsung AMOLED display and the new Google Titan M Security chip.

Besides these additions, Pixel 3 XL presents the same Google SR3HX “Pixel Visual Core” chip as the last year’s model. Also, regarding the phone’s camera, it seems that indeed Google mounted the standard Sony camera sensor, IMX363, in this case, which is usually used by other manufacturers on their devices.

Accordingly, all the new camera functionalities and improvements are only software-based and not hardware, as we would’ve expected. Definitely, Google Pixel 3 XL takes excellent pictures, but only thanks to the Google camera AI implemented on the new flagship smartphone. You can check out the full Google Pixel 3 XL teardown by iFixIt, below.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Presented Officially During The “Made by Google” Event

One day after the scandal generated by the security breach of Google +, which caused the closure of the social network of the company last Monday, Google has presented its new range of products at the event Made by Google, which was held this Tuesday in New York, United States. The event was centered on the company’s two new smartphones, the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.

Just one year after the launch of Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Google has introduced its new flagships

The two smartphones, the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL, are high-range mobiles that compete with devices such as the Huawei P20 Pro, the iPhone XS, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, among others.

Google has decided to develop the “smartest” phone on the market, a device in which artificial intelligence has much to say, which stands out for its smart camera and other options that make this device one of the most competent in the market.

Google’s new mobile phone features a 5.5-inch OLED screen with 18:9 ratio and Full HD+ resolution. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 3 XL version has a 6.3-inch display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio and Quad HD+ resolution. As for the colors of the new devices, Google launches Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL version in three color schemes.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL technical specs

After announcing that both versions run with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, Google announced that its new smartphones offer 4 GB of RAM and internal storage of 64 and 128 GB, expandable by SD cards.

Regarding its battery, Google has announced that both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are compatible with fast charge. While the Pixel 3 goes on sale with a battery capacity of 2.915 mAh, the Pixel 3 XL version boasts a 3.430-mAh accumulator. On the other hand, the company has announced a charging platform (Pixel Stand), which becomes a virtual assistant when the phone is docked.

During the presentation of the new Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, Google has placed particular emphasis on the phones’ cameras. While most companies bet on two, three and even five cameras setups, the company led by Sundar Pichai continues to bet on a single sensor system. Google Pixel 3 boasts a 12.2-megapixel rear sensor featuring an optical stabilizer, a f/1.8 aperture lens, and the ability to record in 4K.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL To Be Revealed on October 9th in New York

Google will present its new Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones at a keynote event in New York City on October 9th. While a few weeks ago we learned something about the future Google Pixel 3 range thanks to some leaked information, now we have more about the upcoming Google devices.

Today, Google finally confirms the official presentation date of its new Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

Therefore, Google announced that on October 9th, in New York, the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones will be revealed officially, and, for that occasion, Google already sent some of the invitations for the press agencies to attend the event.

However, like Samsung or Apple, Google would probably not have many surprises to announce during its event, as most of the information about the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL has already leaked widely on the Internet.

Thus, additionally to various leaks during the summer, the Pixel 3 saga experienced a new mind-blowing episode just recently, when an American driver was surprised to discover a forgotten Pixel 3 XL in the back seat of his car.

Everything we know so far about Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

The upcoming Pixel 3 XL smartphone will present a nice notch at the top of the screen, unlike the standard model which should keep the more traditional looks.

The Google Pixel 3 would also have a dual camera system on the front side to allow for better selfies. A dual camera setup would also be part of the Pixel 3 XL model.

Among the other features of the upcoming Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, additionally to the OLED screen, the handsets would boast Snapdragon 845 CPU, 4 and, respectively, 6 GB RAM, Adreno 630 GPU, Android 9.0 Pie, and USB-C.

The only surprise will perhaps come from the devices’ prices, as the Google Pixel 3 might be offered at a cost similar to the Google Pixel 2 when it came out.
