Google has just announced their new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL after leaks flooded the internet. As suspected, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL turned out to be what the rumors and leaks had been suggesting. After learning how bad the displays on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were, Google decided to take to take a stance on the issue with the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Soon after Google announced their two new devices, DisplayMate quickly announced soon after that the Pixel 3 XL’s display has been rated as an A+ display, keeping it in line with other flagship displays on the market. The folks over at DisplayMate said in a tweet.
DisplayMate has Lab Tested the Google Pixel 3 XL OLED Display which has earned our Highest A+ Rating and a DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award. Our in-depth Display Shoot-Out review article will go live here on Monday October 15.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL launched last year experienced major issues such as burn-ins and color shifts. This created a whole controversy surrounding Pixel’s lineup of devices at the time. With this year’s Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, Google has not only changed the displays on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, but has also added a number of measures to mitigate the issue as buyers found themselves scared of experiencing these issues on such an expensive device that led to poor sales.
With the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, users are looking at a 2160 x 1080 and a 2960 x 1440 display, respectively. In addition to that, both devices are equipped with the latest and greatest protection solution from Corning, and that is Gorilla Glass 5. Furthermore, additional features regarding the displays include HDR certifications, the “now playing” feature, an always-on display, 24-bit color depth and a whole lot more thanks to the OLED panels.
While the display on the Pixel 3 may be a let down for some, it certainly doesn’t seem to be a major issue overall. The Pixel density on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are 443 and 523PPI, which is completely fine, in fact, it’s great. Sure, having QHD display on a 5.5-inch display may have been the icing on the cake, but on a display that size, we wouldn’t really mind.
