![]() ![]() The Pixel 2's Fused Video Stabilization technology, their algorithm combining the hardware's Optical Image Stabilizer with Google's Electronic Image Stabilization technique, made for incredibly stabilized videos. But we shouldn't forget that the Pixel is - or rather should be - great at recording video, as well. Given Google's track record with computational photography, it's no surprise that much of the attention was focused on the picture-taking ability of the new Pixel 3. The prevailing theory behind the issue is that it's related to memory management, but nobody really knows why it happens.Īudio and Video Issue #3 - Poor Audio Quality in Video Recordings Still, a lot of people have had this happen to them, and it absolutely sucks when it does. I've also never had this issue with my Pixel 2 XL, either. I had this happen once on my Pixel 3 when I was testing whether the Pixel 3 can record videos with stereo audio (it does), but haven't had it happen since. You press the shutter button expecting to stow away a decent shot, only to find that the image or video never saved. That is, unless, your Pixel actually saves the picture you just took.įor some users, the Pixel, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 simply fail to capture a photo or video. With features like Top Shot, Motion Photos, and Motion Auto Focus, it's easier than ever to capture a great photo - even if your hands are unsteady or the subject is moving. The Google Camera app does everything it can to make sure that even beginners like me who simply point-and-shoot at a subject can capture decent photos. It's hard not to gush over how awesome the Pixel 3's camera is. Issue #2 - Sometimes, photos aren't being saved Likelihood of a fix coming: Fix rolled out with the December security patches. Google Response: Google rolled out an update in December addressing these issues. 4GB RAM should be enough for most users of the Pixel 3, but there have been many user reports of the device often closing recently used apps in the background. The Google Pixel, Google Pixel 2, and Google Pixel 3 all have 4GB RAM, while the OnePlus 6, Razer Phone 2, Xiaomi POCO F1, and more offer up to 8GB RAM options. With higher quality apps and games releasing each month, it's become clear that Android devices simply need more memory these days. It feels strange for me to say this considering my very first article on XDA was an argument in defense of the Nexus 5X having only 2GB RAM, but the Pixel 3 might not have enough RAM. Memory Management Issue #1 - Apps being closed in the background Update 7: The audio quality when recording videos has been improved with the January 2019 security patch update. Update 6: Both the memory management issue and the speaker buzzing issue have been mostly resolved. Update 5: Google has commented on the speaker distortion issue. Update 4: Google has commented on the memory management issue. Update 3: Added details to the "Apps being closed in the background" section. Update 2: Added a section on "Buzzing/Distorted Speakers at Low Volumes" and "Pink tinting" per multiple user reports. Instead, they opt for Face unlock as the only biometric option, so no under-display sensor either.Update 1: Added Google's responses to the scratch, random notch, and Netflix HDR sections. There is no physical fingerprint sensor on the rear of the Pixel 4 and 4 XL however - a feature we've seen on the Pixel devices since their launch. Like the Pixel 3 and 3 XL however, the Pixel 4 and 4 XL have a coloured power button, no 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C. There is also no two-tone rear on the Pixel 4 devices, which both the Pixel 3 and 3 XL offer, and there is a black frame sandwiched between the glass front and rear, offering a more unique finish than the 2018 devices. The Pixel 4 XL also ditches the notch at the top of its display - which the Pixel 3 XL has - and replaces it with a bezel to fit in the Google Soli chip and the extra sensors found on the Pixel 4 handsets. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL feature a square camera housing with dual cameras in the top left corner however, while the 2018 devices have a single camera lens. ![]() The Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL look different to the Pixel 3 and 3 XL in terms of design, though the new devices still retain the Pixel design language we have seen since the original devices. ![]()
