Google Pixel 3 Taiwan Province province out-of-box test: AI easy to take photos, pro-son update first.

Google officially announced that it will release Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL in Taiwan Province Province, and both 64GB and 128GB versions are available for sale, so it can be pre-ordered in Google Store, and it is expected to be released on 1 1. Engadget also got the 64GB white Pixel 3 and Google pxil bracket for the first time, which will have special functions when used with Pxiel 3. After a few days of use, Pixle 3 makes people feel that it is a novel and lightweight mobile phone, and it does have a lot to play with the newly launched Google Assistant. If you want to know more about Google Pixel 3, please refer to: single-lens Google Pixel 3 XL camera measurement, night shooting, portrait shooting and digital zoom experience.

I just want to see the quality edition: user 51657.pie.pw/eyhkg/eyhkg.

The previous hardware was also matched with the AI Pixel phone. It has always been Google's own experimental field. Although it is not necessarily the latest and strongest hardware, it is mostly the current mainstream configuration. The difference between Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL this time lies in the screen size and battery capacity, and there is no difference in other hardware aspects. You can choose the mobile phone version according to your own usage habits, regardless of the specifications such as the camera. Pixel 3 is equipped with the currently common Opteron 845 processor, with 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage space and 128GB.

Because Google provides free unlimited online storage space for Pixel 3 users, the photos taken can be stored in Google Photos without damage, and you can continue to use unlimited services until June 65438+1October 3 1 2022. Because of this, it is recommended to choose the 64GB version. After all, the problem of taking photos of the easiest card phone has been solved, and the next step is how big the capacity of the storage App is.

▲ Google Pixel 3 packaging is also a simple style, this time the test is a white version.

▲ The blue one is the back. Don't open it directly after opening it from here, or it will pour out completely.

▲Pixel 3 is available in 64GB and 128GB versions, and the colors are white, black and pink.

▲ The upper layer is pixel 3, and the lower layer is all accessories.

▲ There are many things in it, including charging head, USB Type-C cable, 3.5mm adapter, USB Type-C adapter, headphones and so on.

▲ It contains dual USB Type-C cables, especially a button in the middle.

▲ The charging head supports USB PD fast charging.

▲ The output has two modes: 5V3A and 9V2A. The version of this charging head is the same as that provided by Pixel Stand. If you buy both, you can leave this one unopened.

▲ The content also includes a 3.5mm adapter with USB Type-C.

▲ The mobile phone is very clean, and there is no app that does not need to be deleted.

▲ What is more special is that the white version of the power button is green, the pink version is orange, and the black is black.

The 5.5-inch organic light-emitting diode mobile phone is light and beautiful. Pixel 3 uses a 5.5-inch organic light-emitting diode screen, with a pixel per inch of 443ppi, slightly lower than Pixel 3 XL's 523ppi. It supports HDR and has passed UHDA certification. Because the screen is only 5.5 inches and the body is very compact, the volume is only 68.2x 145.6x7.9mm and the weight is only 148 g, which is considered lightweight in current mobile phones. The main reason is that the back of the mobile phone uses a specially treated glass case. Personally, I like this design configuration.

More specifically, Google made Pixel 3 into a dual-card mobile phone, but the dual card is a combination of eSIM and physical SIM card. Because Taiwan Province Province still can't apply for mobile phone eSIM, it's a pity that this function is semi-disabled. In addition, the Japanese version of Pixel 3 is equipped with FeliCa function, which is also a special edition. As for the frequency band, it supports Taiwan Province's 4G full frequency band, so don't worry about the frequency band.

▲ The power button with special color matching has an embellishment effect, and the pink-green color matching is quite beautiful.

▲ Fingerprint identification is located on the back near the top. Because it is staggered from the lens, it will not accidentally press the lens like Sony Xperia XZ2.

▲ The charging interface is USB Type-C, which supports fast charging of USB PD.

▲ Although it is a dual-card mobile phone, one of them needs eSIM. Unfortunately, Taiwan Province Province has not provided related services.

With AI, a single lens is enough. The camera part is special. Regardless of Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL, the rear lens adopts1220,000 pixel photosensitive element, and the front lens is dual-lens configuration, equipped with dual 8-megapixel wide-angle and universal lenses. There are two special things. One is that both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are equipped with the same camera configuration, and the dual camera configuration will not be adopted because Pixel 3 XL is relatively large. Secondly, no matter which mobile phone it is, it is only done with a single lens. Google believes that through the combination of single lens and AI, it can have a good shooting effect, especially the part of AI is the project they emphasize.

Pixel 3' s camera can use the excellent lens function after continuous shooting, and continuous shooting will use the machine learning technology of the device to tell you which photo is the best, without having to choose it slowly. This technology will detect blur, gaze and focus, find photos of smiling and opening eyes and store them as HDR+ photos. However, this function must be used in camera mode, not in portrait mode.

In terms of HDR, the camera is automatically turned on by default, and the switch can be manually adjusted in the settings. You can choose to turn it off, turn on HDR+ and HDR+ enhancement in manual mode, and fine-tune the detail intensity when shooting. However, in HDR+ enhanced mode, dynamic mode cannot be used at the same time, which will affect the excellent lens function and need special attention. By the way, if you don't want to output Jpeg directly, Pixel 3 can also choose to output RAW to make the rear more flexible.

▲ The rear main lens unexpectedly adopts a single lens configuration, with only one12.2 million pixel lens. Google believes that a single lens with AI can provide a rich shooting experience, so both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL versions are single lens designs.

▲ When you press continuous shooting, the system will directly tell you which photo is the best when viewing photos, and put a white dot on the photo to let you know. In the past, continuous shooting was afraid of wasting storage space on mobile phones or the cloud. Pixel 3 can be uploaded to Google Photos without restriction.

▲ In general shooting mode, there are five main zoom positions, all of which are preset wide-angle ends.

▲ The second zoom position.

▲ The third zoom position.

▲ The fourth zoom clip.

▲ In the fifth zoom stage, if it is in a well-lit environment, the fourth stage is ok, but if it is in a poorly lit room, the graininess in the third zoom stage is obvious.

Dynamic focus tracking and group wide angle * * * are very practical. In addition to the excellent lens function of automatically selecting photos, there are two good practical functions. The first is dynamic focus tracking. As long as the objects that need to be focused are lit on the camera screen, such as cats, dogs, children and other objects that are difficult to shoot, within a certain moving speed and lens range, the system will focus accurately, allowing you to take better photos.

Secondly, it is a common problem of * * *, and it often happens that too many people can't shoot completely. Compared with the rear main lens, Google adopts a dual lens configuration in the front lens design, equipped with dual 8-megapixel photosensitive elements, one of which is an f/ 1.8 lens supporting autofocus and phase detection technology, and the other is a 97-degree wide-angle fixed-focus lens. * * * You can enlarge the screen and take everyone in with a wide-angle lens. The operation is very simple and intuitive.

▲ Front dual 8 megapixel cameras, one of which is a 97-degree wide-angle lens.

▲ Click on the object you want to focus on, such as pets, people or vehicles, and the lens will automatically focus.

▲ As long as you move in the picture, you can focus. When you move your phone, the focus will also move.

▲ Try the * * * mode of the front lens and shoot with the telephoto end in the backlight environment.

▲ This is the preset * * * angle. If more than three people enter the camera, it is usually a little crowded.

▲ If you choose wide-angle shooting, you can see that the field of vision is obviously increased, which can bring more background.

▲ Try again from another angle. This is the telephoto end.

▲ This is the middle paragraph and the preset angle of * * *.

▲ This is the shooting effect of the wide-angle end. * * * The visual pressure of photos will not be so great, and more backgrounds can be set off.

It's okay to adjust the depth of field and focus after taking a photo. Finally, I have to mention portrait mode. In this mode, you can choose face retouching function and depth of field adjustment. The former has two modes to choose from: natural mode and soft mode, which is the Google version of "shaving" mode. The latter is very useful, and the depth of field adjustment can be used not only for shooting portraits, but also for macro mode. Moreover, if you are not satisfied with the depth of field, you can adjust the intensity or even change the focal length when previewing photos, which is a very powerful function.

▲ The depth of field setting of pixel 3 is very simple. This is a photo with no depth of field effect.

▲ This is the default intensity when applying the depth of field effect.

▲ Adjust the depth of field intensity to the maximum.

▲ The focus of the depth of field does not have to be set when shooting. After taking a picture, you can continue to set the intensity of the depth of field and even change the focus.

▲ The depth of field effect of portrait mode is not necessarily limited to shooting portraits, but also good for shooting macro.

▲ Since it is portrait mode, try taking a portrait. This is the depth of field effect that is not turned on.

▲ Depth of field intensity.

▲ Strong sense of depth of field.

▲ Switch to the same angle as iPhone X, which is an unused depth of field effect.

▲ Medium intensity depth of field effect.

▲ The strongest depth of field effect.

Another very attractive feature of the extremely clean Android phone Pixel 3 is that the system is extremely clean. There is no junk telecom operator or original mobile phone app installed, and there is no annoying anti-virus software and system cleaning app installed, which is completely neat. After getting the mobile phone, there will only be about 20 service icons related to Google (including settings, contacts, cameras, clocks, etc.). ). I can no longer see those "customized" apps that can't be deleted by non-Root. It's really pleasant.

▲ Booting is a clean system, and it is very comfortable to use without an additional app.

Being the first to use new services is a selling point. After all, it is Google's own signboard. Therefore, whether it is Android or various new services, there must be a pixel on the line, which is a benefit that other Android phones cannot enjoy. However, it must be said that many of Google's services were promoted before the United States or the pan-English world. Even if some services of Pixel 3 can be experienced first, they may not be used for the first time because they do not support traditional Chinese. This is a possible situation. But in any case, at least in the system update, it can be updated quickly. As for the App, it depends on support.

▲ Being able to play various Google services and updates in the first time is the biggest irreplaceable advantage of Pixel 3.

Should I buy a pixel bracket of 2600 yuan? Since we all bought Pixel 3, should we buy Pixel Stand, the original wireless charging stand? If you have to charge wirelessly and charge quickly, then buy it! After all, it supports fast charging, which can be matched with Pixel 3 products, and it is really too much trouble to compare fast charging. It is easier to buy original ones. But also can fully support the Google digital assistant function, which is the biggest advantage.

However, if you are a user in Taiwan Province Province and don't care much about whether the wireless charging power is 5W or 10W, then it doesn't matter if you charge slowly. Then I would suggest that you buy a Qi wireless charging stand that meets the standard. Pixel Stand is easy to use, but the price is really too high, and users in Taiwan Province Province also lack matching digital home combinations. Even if Stand supports digital assistants, there are a lot less places to use.

Looking back, what are the advantages of Pixel Stand? There are two main advantages that are difficult to replace. First, the full support for fast charging of Pixel 3 can reach 10W, and the plug attached to Stand is exactly the same as that attached to Pixel 3. If you want to charge faster, you can connect directly and charge faster with USB PD. The second is the more important digital auxiliary function. When Pxiel 3 is placed on the bracket, the screen will automatically display the time and digital assistant, and the mobile phone can also be used as a digital photo frame.

▲ What's so special about Pixel Stand with a asking price of 2600 yuan? Come and have a look!

▲ The back plate of the bracket is not adjustable, but both Pixel 3 and XL can stand upright or horizontally.

▲ USB Type-C interface is used at the bottom.

▲ Is this group familiar? Yes, that charging head is the same as that attached to the mobile phone, but the wires are stored in a slightly different place.

▲ The same output is 5V3A and 9V2A configurations.

▲ What it looks like is probably this feeling, simple and beautiful, and does not take up too much space.

▲ The bracket with Pixel 3 will have a specific screen, which can directly call the digital assistant or connect other smart home devices at home.

Smart home equipment is the key. If users in the United States can buy a large number of smart home devices, then putting Pixel 3 on the charging stand can also be used as a smart home center to control these devices. It is used to replace the functions of some smart speakers, which is also one of the biggest advantages of Stand. In Taiwan Province Province, there is no such related equipment to choose from, and the natural advantages are weakened a lot.

Some people will ask whether Pixel 3 will be branded as an organic light-emitting diode if it is left on the table for a long time. In fact, various manufacturers have some solutions to this problem. Pixel 3 will move the icon position slightly every once in a while to avoid branding caused by long-term display. As for whether it will affect sleep at night, Pixel 3 can turn on the night mode. If the room is dark, it will turn off the screen so as not to affect sleep. The next morning, before the alarm clock goes off, you can slowly light up the screen to adapt to the light, which is only available on Stand.

▲ Personally, Stand has its value, but Taiwan Province Province lacks smart home-related equipment, so it is impossible to directly open Google Assistant with Chinese voice, which leads to some functional obstacles.

Pixel 3 can also customize the phone case. When you buy Pixel 3 to go home, you will face a real problem. How to choose a mobile phone case? Compared with other mobile phones, Pixel 3 may not have many mobile phone cases in Taiwan Province Province in a short time. Google Store has two kinds of mobile phone cases to choose from, one is the woven fabric mobile phone case in 490 yuan at the price of1.The other is the polycarbonate (PC) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) mobile phone case with customized patterns at the price of 1.690 yuan.

The customized mobile phone case can not only upload pictures by itself, but also choose the map on Google Maps as the mobile phone case pattern. If there are creative obstacles, Google also provides dozens of preset pictures for you to choose directly.

▲ Woven fabric mobile phone case has a good texture, and official website has four colors to choose from.

▲ In addition to the woven version, there is also a customized version. You can upload pictures on the left and make them yourself. In the middle, you choose the picture provided by Google, and on the right, you use the picture of Google Maps as the picture.

▲ There are dozens of patterns to choose from by default.

▲ It is also very interesting to choose your favorite city as a mobile phone case.

Experience excellent Google's own model. If you are a specification control, you should have three or even four lenses, the screen should be large, the screen ratio should be super high, and it is best to have a lifting lens, then Pixel 3 will not be your choice. However, if you prefer to try various Google services, or want to keep a mobile phone updated for several years, then Pixel 3 should be the most suitable Android phone.

On the whole, although Google only designed a single lens on Pixel 3, the photos taken with AI do have their own advantages, which is considered as the top level in a single-lens mobile phone, and even in a dual-lens model, it has its own characteristics. Whether it is AI automatically judging the best photos, focusing and adjusting the depth of field, it is a practical function. The interface adopts the cleanest Android system, which can be updated in real time following the footsteps of Google.

For users like me who prefer small-sized mobile phones, Pixel 3 uses a 5.5-inch screen, but it can maintain the size and weight of the mobile phone like the previous Galaxy S7. I was satisfied after using it for a few days. However, after all, we must consider the price of mobile phones. The price of the 64GB version of Pixel 3 is 27,700 yuan, which is not cheap in terms of specifications, but it is worthwhile considering the intangible support provided by Google and the future playability. Pixel 3 is a very unique mobile phone, which is almost a must-have product for editing this kind of first-hand Google service. If you are also an early adopter and consider a smaller mobile phone, then you can seriously consider whether Google Pixel 3 is suitable for you.
