Google Pixel 3 XL Features & SoftwareĪndroid 9.0 “Pie” is a great follow-up to Android 8.0 “Oreo”. I also find this useful to carry around for various applications like: charging other people’s phones, viewing data on USB drives, and even using in conjunction with my USB to Ethernet dongle to make network changes over LAN rather than playing the WiFi game.
I do, however, prefer the feel of the Pixel USB-C Earbuds, they fit nicely, and definitely have me considering getting the Pixel Buds now as a replacement for the PowerBeats.Īs with the Pixel 2/2 XL and Pixel 1/1XL Google included a USB-A to USB-C dongle for transfer from 1 device to another. Otherwise, I prefer the wireless headphones from pretty much everything as it means I can sit my phone down in places that make sense for example at the gym. The inclusion of USB Type-C headphones this iteration was definitely welcome! They are serviceable, nothing super fancy or special, I likely would only use them when traveling so not to need to keep my PowerBeats Wireless set charged all the time.

The camera’s are nothing short of excellent, I won’t dive too deeply into the additional software features, because they aren’t officially baked in yet, however, here are a few examples from the standard camera, no settings changes right out of the box. Function over aesthetic is never lost on me.Įven the boxes and the unboxing experience are identical! It reminds me a lot of the LG V10 with how it utilized a second display for a quick launcher and notifications next to the front cameras. I know people are up in arms about the notch, but honestly it doesn’t bother me. I really enjoyed the Pixel 2 XL’s design, and the Pixel 3 XL did nothing but improve on it. For me having large hands, it’s comfortable and easy to use even with the increase in overall display size. It feels slightly, but not noticeably heavier, and just generally feels like the same phone in the hand. The Pixel 3 XL feels the same, but slightly refined on the back plate. Coming from running nearly all of my devices on beta channels of Android nearly year round I tend to forget what features the previous generation phone didn’t truly have publicly available until the OS official launch, so the software, aside from items like Night Sight and other incremental items I am typically already using. It’s familiar down to the point that if you disable the notch in Developer Settings it actually is nearly indistinguishable from the Pixel 2 XL. So, yea, the Pixel 3 XL is a very familiar device coming from the Pixel 2 XL.
If you downloaded file manager you can open that instead of files folder but same directions.Let me preface my entire review with this myself and Lemacks Media are Google Cloud Partners, I am a fan and user of Google/Alphabet products across the spectrum, I am not being paid for this review, and I plan to use the Google Pixel 3 XL as my daily phone until the Pixel 4 (or otherwise) comes out in 2019. Hope that helped, I am using a droid 2 but should work for all droids. To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Your phone comes with a folder called "Files" open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Then be sure that your force quit them all.Ģnd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.ġst you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applicationsĬlick the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. So I was annoyed for days because the droid default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of PowerAmp in my case.
