It is worth noting that last year’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL had standard and eSim support as well, but they could not be run simultaneously and forced the user to alternate between them.Įdit: Google has come back to me to say this information was incorrect. Or it will when more networks begin to support eSims - something which should happen quickly now this functionality is also built into Apple’s new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. A point Google later confirmed and which brings true multi-sim functionality for home/work numbers and frequent travellers. While left out fo the Google presentation, both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will support standard sims and eSims (electronic sims) simultaneously. Google has yet to detail how the chip works, but the fact it exists is a step in the right direction. Where Google has been listening to customer concerns, however, is security. Apple dines out on its claims about data security and in response, both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL come equipped with a new 'Titan M' security chip which is designed to secure your data and passwords. Google's Titan M security chip inside both new Pixels Google The big question for me is: How long will they stay that way? I’m sure the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will be lightning quick out the box. That said, the timing of Google’s Pixels leaves something to be desired as Qualcomm announces its next-generation chips every December for release in January so these devices won’t be on current gen hardware for long. Helping out the RAM is Qualcomm’s top of the range Snapdragon 845 chipset which delivers approximately 30% more power than last year’s 835. It’s simply a bizarre decision at this price point. In 2018 Android rivals have moved onto 6GB and even 8GB of RAM with exceptional results and, while stock Android is efficient, my experience with the similarly 4GB-equipped Pixel 2XL is it can get bogged down with a lot of multitasking - which is where extra RAM shines. What sticks out like a sore thumb here is the RAM.
