It is on the surface only that you see a difference in the notch of the phone; however, there is much more going on. If you’re wondering what sets the Google Pixel 3 XL apart from its predecessor, here are some features to note:

Just like the Google Pixel 2 XL, the Pixel 3 XL features a single-lens 12.2 MP f/1.8 rear camera, but there are some features that take it a notch higher. There are new modes to look out for, and the most admirable of the lot is the “Top Shot” feature. The front camera comes with an upgrade, with the 3 XL employing the dual-lens front camera for more versatility.

OS and power: The Google Pixel 3 XL steps above its predecessor, as it features an octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset that is paired with 4 GB RAM. While the RAM remains the same, there is a difference in the chipset. The phone also comes with notable features such as Active Edge, which cannot be seen in the phones of other brands. What’s more?
