The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL by Google are tricky smartphones. The Pixels have always been well-rounded devices with arguably the best cameras on a smartphone riding on the company’s brilliant work in computational photography. Yet, in its third generation now, they’ve not been flying off the selves either. The design of the Google Pixel 3 (and I’ll use that to imply both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL through the article) is one aspect of the phone that caused the most controversy. A lot of our readers and friends on Twitter were underwhelmed and called the design as “boring”, “not premium enough”, and even “lame”. Unlike everything on the specifications sheet, design is a subjective thing (along with camera, I guess, where one may prefer a more saturated photo over another one with true-to-life colors or vice versa). There are some absolutely gorgeous devices – like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro – but mostly design is a personal choice and a matter of individual taste. The Pixel 3 continues with

Max Pixel The Google weather service is currently down. If you ask Google Assistant for weather information, you get zero-degree forecasts everywhere — even Hawaii. Google Home hardware suggests you use third-party services if you ask for weather info. If you ask Google Assistant for weather information right now, you might be surprised by the answer. Google’s weather service must be down, because no matter which location you ask about for weather info, you get a zero-degree forecast. I find it hard to believe that it’s zero degrees in Hawaii at the moment. It’s certainly not zero degrees in my backyard. If you use traditional Google Search in your browser, you still get weather info but it comes from a third-party service, most likely Weather.com. Usually, Google would show its own formatted forecast.

A new pricing leak suggests the Vivo Nex will cost 849 euros (~$967) when it eventually launches in Europe. That price is significantly more than what the device currently costs in India and China. There is still no launch date for the Vivo Nex in Europe (or the U.S.), but this pricing leak suggests a launch could come soon. The Vivo Nex wowed us all at Mobile World Congress 2018 . Then known as the Vivo Apex , the smartphone featured a notch-less display with extremely small bezels, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a unique pop-up selfie cam. Vivo announced shortly thereafter that it would commercially release the Nex in select countries, which ended up being mostly focused on China and India with a few other countries thrown in the mix. However, the company promised the Nex would eventually launch in Europe, but we haven’t seen it there yet.

If you’re lucky enough to own a smartphone with expandable storage , this SanDisk deal is for you. For a limited time, Amazon is offering the SanDisk 128GB microSD card for only $18 . If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get free Prime shipping, too. Usually, this SanDisk 128GB card would set you back $29, so you’re saving over $11 with this deal, or 38 percent off. Not bad! If you want to go bigger, the 256GB microSD card is also on sale for $45 , which is about 34 percent cheaper than usual. However, $45 is still quite a bit to pay for a memory card, and the 128GB card is the real steal. Whichever one you choose, the microSD card comes with a free adapter which allows you to use it in normal SD card slots. This is perfect if you want to transfer files from your smartphone or tablet to your laptop or desktop computer. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, so click the button below to grab yours!

When it comes to competitively priced devices with flagship-like specifications, there are only two devices everyone talks about: the Pocophone F1 and the OnePlus 6T . Both devices sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and both have oodles of RAM. But do the specs on paper translate to real-world performance? Starting with the Pocophone F1 (or the Poco F1, as it is known in some parts),  Xiaomi’s new sub-brand outprices every other Snapdragon 845 phone on the market. But, when you consider the full package and what you get, is it actually better value for money? That is a tough question, but you can found out in our Pocophone F1 review . The longtime hero of those seeking flagship-like specs without the high price tag has been OnePlus. Although prices have been increasing year-on-year, the 6T is still cheaper than the majority of flagship devices. The OnePlus 6T is a minor upgrade over its predecessor, the OnePlus 6 , but according to our review , “the overall experience is still
