6 XS’ Sleeker, More Modern Design
Beauty and design are both very subjective things, but it’s pretty clear that the Pixel 3 is not a radical departure from past Google flagships. So it’s hard to argue with the fact that the new Pixels look a bit dated compared to the latest handsets from Apple — and even other Android manufacturers.
For one, the smaller Pixel 3 features a rather thick top bezel and bottom chin, which sticks out in our era of ultra-slim bezels. And while the Pixel 3 XL goes the iPhone route and sports a notch, it’s pretty clunky and awkward looking. Hiding it with software doesn’t exactly help either, since it just further cuts down on available display real estate.
