    I can't see the 3XL on the Google Store. Can we only order the 3 here?
    They're both there when I look.

    EDIT: Scrub that, I was looking at the US store. Odd.

    EDIT: Now on the IE store it's saying the Pixel 3 is "No longer available" !!!!

    Is there any decent breakdown on what's improved on the Pixel 2? A lot of what's on the google store page seems software related and/or already available. Wireless charging looks like a nice addition and is there a much better (dual?) front facing camera?

    Yeah, nice to have wireless charging. You'd hope a standard Qi charging stand would activate the stand features, and you don't need to spend best part of €100 on a charger.

    Screen is apparently a massive improvement.

    I genuinely thought that the Top Shot feature was something that was already on the pixel 2. It does looks like there are some nice improvements to an already very good camera.

    I am not overly concerned about screen quality I have to say.

    Not from what I've seen and heard. Regardless, it would run much better with an extra couple gig of RAM. That's a given. You're paying top dollar for a device. You don't want to feel like you're getting shafted.

    I think the reality is over 4gb is overkill for stock android. Sure on a Samsung phone with tons of bloat the more the merrier..

    Did the preorders go already for the Irish store or did they **** something up?

    Just see them there a minute or two ago as of an email from Google...

    Not going to upgrade, not enough there for me, thought we may have had a surprise Ultra P3 or something, I'm happy with my standard P2 for now....

    I missed all the announcement today but did anyone see if they're actually packaging USB C headphones with it? I see them in the Google Store for €35 which would make me think they're not with the phone.

    White Pixel 3 64GB pre-ordered anyway. Long wait but hopefully they fulfill in the month and it doesn't push out.

    According to android authority and android police, they're included with the Pixel 3 and 3xl.

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.
