It seems Google made the right call of offering a high-end smartphone experience in two different sizes with very few compromises. That philosophy carries into the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, which are identical aside from the changes necessitated by their size differences.
The best way to start off this comparison is to discuss everything that's shared between these phones, and thankfully for potential Pixel 3 and 3 XL buyers, most of the experience is identical. Both devices have identical internal specs, powered by a Snapdragon 845, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, according to Forbes. The cameras, too, are similar, including the dual front-facing shooters. Both have stereo speakers, and both don't have a headphone jack. The hardware is absolutely the same from top to bottom, without a reference for size, you might not be able to tell the two apart from just a photo. Both devices come in the same three color choices: black, white and "not pink."
There really are just two differences to evaluate. which are some things that are really obvious: screen size and battery. First, screen size because Google worked very hard to make sure this year's phones have identical-looking displays. Whether you get the 6.3-inch Pixel 3 XL or smaller 5.5-inch Pixel 3, the OLED panels have been selected and calibrated to look the same. The Pixel 3 XL also has a sizable display notch.
Another notable difference according to Android Central is the battery, which is 2915 vs. 3430mAh.The Pixel 3 XL will certainly have a longer battery life because it has a 17% larger battery. It remains to be seen how the battery size difference will translate into real-world usage since Android 9 Pie is better with power management than Oreo. However, Google's history doesn't fill us with confidence, as the Pixel and Pixel 2 were both lackluster in the battery department. Some are willing to take that battery trade-off to have a phone they can easily use one-handed, but it's not the same for everyone.
