Dave Taylor here and I am part of hash
0:13
tag team pixel which is cool
0:15
that means Google sent me this really
0:17
nice set of pixel devices now the
0:20
cornerstone the heart the center the
0:23
most important piece is this this is the
0:26
brand-new and extremely swanky Google
0:29
pixel 3xl let's find out what's in the
0:34
box so first off first off I am opening
0:38
it upside down let's try that again this
0:40
is like an immediate fail on my unboxing
0:43
right but that's okay because
0:44
everything's still in the box more or
0:46
less but most importantly is the phone
0:49
itself now as I take the wrapper off of
0:52
it it comes with a protective wrapper
0:53
that is not an entire nightmare to take
0:56
off like some so there we go oh look at
1:00
that shiny phone look at that let's see
1:03
push the button
1:04
there we go look at that shiny phone now
1:07
the three XL features a 6.3 inch screen
1:12
it's very nice even in the initial setup
1:14
it's very nice this particular model has
1:16
64 gig it is running Android 9 which is
1:21
nice and it is actually to be specific
1:24
model G 0 1 3 C and you see that color
1:28
there this color is it's not clearly
1:32
white and it's not just black because
1:35
it's not pink really that's the name of
1:38
the color it's called not too pink so
1:41
here we have the Google pixel 3xl so
1:45
let's put that aside and let's start
1:47
looking at what comes in the box so
1:49
first off lots of paperwork and of
1:52
course the little sim removal tool or in
1:56
this case sim Edition tool and then
1:59
underneath that is something that has a
2:01
teeny tiny little ears icon I'm guessing
2:05
from the back its ear buds so let's see
2:09
I open it up and sure enough
2:12
they are earbuds but they actually are
2:15
kind of interesting looking because it
2:17
looks like they have a little additional
2:20
ring that helps them seat properly in
2:24
your ears so I'm looking forward to
2:26
trying those now one question is the
2:29
connector so in fact let's go back and
2:31
look at the three XL and in fact there
2:35
is no audio jack so like a lot of modern
2:39
phones you can't just plug in your
2:41
headphones unless they're special but
2:44
it's a USBC device so they include this
2:49
USB see earbuds pretty smart on their
2:54
partner next up is this set of adapters
2:57
I think they said hmm people are gonna
3:00
want to do other things even though it's
3:02
USB see so one of the adapters is USB
3:05
see two sort of old-school rectangular
3:09
USB 3.0 so that's handy to have and then
3:12
even more useful and I will note that
3:14
Apple no longer ships this with its
3:17
iPhone 10s or 10r as far as I recall
3:20
this is an actual audio or aux jack
3:24
adapter so that means that if I plug it
3:28
into the bottom of the pixel 3xl I now
3:32
have an audio jack is this clumsy does
3:36
this look a little dorky well yeah it
3:38
does but if you really want to plug in
3:41
your microphone and these should work
3:43
with a microphone but they definitely
3:44
will work with headphones then you still
3:46
have options outside of using either the
3:50
USBC earbuds or actually doing Bluetooth
3:53
I like Bluetooth there are a lot of
3:55
amazing Bluetooth devices out there but
3:58
I totally understand if some people
4:00
actually prefer not doing bluetooth
4:01
that's okay now let's see what's left so
4:04
now we have the charger and cable and
4:07
that is USB C to USB C and it also
4:12
includes no huge surprise here a wall
4:16
charger that is just for USB C so that
4:19
all works so this is a really full set
4:23
of objects and items that come in
4:25
box which is great so we have the
4:28
charging plug the charging cable we have
4:32
the audio adapter we have the generic
4:35
USB adapter which is pretty nice I'm
4:37
kind of curious what I can actually plug
4:39
in and utilize we have USB see earbuds
4:43
and we have a SIM card removal tool and
4:48
a whole lot of paperwork and perhaps the
4:52
most important thing the team pixels
4:55
sticker nice look for that on my car
4:58
coming soon so that's the phone but they
5:02
didn't just send me the phone
5:04
they sent me more so let's put this
5:05
phone aside and the first thing we're
5:07
gonna look at is we're gonna look at the
5:08
Google my case now Google actually has a
5:11
number of different cases for the pixel
5:13
three and the pixel three XL but this
5:15
one's actually really interesting
5:16
because the my case line you can
5:19
actually upload a photo and they will
5:20
actually master emboss the photo on your
5:24
case so you can do anything you want so
5:27
here's the one they sent me assuming it
5:30
comes out of the case here we go
5:32
and I gotta give him credit that's a
5:36
pretty cool looking case now it still
5:37
has that same basic color undertone of
5:40
the not pink because of course it's not
5:44
pink but it's a very nice case it's
5:47
gonna fit in very easily and boom done
5:51
so now we have our phone in the case
5:53
that's very nice and there's clearly
5:56
lots to learn with this phone cuz I'm
5:58
wondering about things like where the
6:00
speakers are but that's okay so phone
6:03
case what else is in the case nothing
6:07
come on it's a case what else do you
6:09
need in the case right so third piece is
6:12
this and this is actually one of the
6:15
most interesting things this is the
6:17
Google pixel stand so this is a qi
6:19
wireless charging stand designed
6:22
specifically for the pixel although
6:24
google says that actually you can use it
6:27
with any other Qi charging device can
6:30
use this too so that's cool this time
6:32
I'm going to actually have to utilize my
6:34
package opening tool aka a knife so
6:38
figure out where I should be cutting
6:40
this you know modern packaging is so
6:43
well done that at times it can be hard
6:46
to open things so let's just see I think
6:49
this will cover it so take all the
6:51
plastic off and then now we have I see
6:58
so I think it's just gonna open up and
7:01
you ready
7:02
unboxing part three tah-dah
7:05
so this like I said is the Google pixel
7:08
stand and has a nice weight to it and
7:11
they actually have some protective
7:13
stickers which are no longer protecting
7:15
anything there's also one on the bottom
7:17
here because there's sort of a
7:19
rubberized bottom on this and it's
7:23
orange I don't know why they'd make it
7:25
Orange but it's certainly visually
7:26
interesting that's not a color that
7:28
shows up anywhere else so if we were
7:31
just to put the phone on it in its case
7:33
it's gonna do that
7:35
and there's a little Ridge along the
7:37
bottom you can just barely see and that
7:40
makes sure the phone doesn't slip
7:41
forward so I'm guessing underneath this
7:44
will be what do you think a cable maybe
7:47
and charger haha cable and charger so
7:52
probably exactly the same ones that come
7:54
with the phone but now I have two so
7:56
that's handy because I can have one at
7:57
work and one at home or one in the
7:59
kitchen and one in my bedroom whatever
8:02
combination so let's go ahead and open
8:04
this and alright so they might have had
8:09
a little over-the-top packaging for the
8:12
cable of all things but you know we can
8:18
make this a little easier because we
8:20
have the tool so as long as I don't cut
8:22
the actual cable there's one and
8:28
there's two I have not actually caused
8:31
any blood so now we have the cable and
8:34
the cable plugs in to the bottom and
8:37
this is very nicely designed there's
8:40
actually a small space so that it just
8:43
very smoothly and evenly comes out and
8:46
the base is nice and stable and then you
8:48
just run the cable out obviously and
8:50
plug it into the charger and then you
8:54
plug the charger into the wall and then
8:56
you have your phone in its case on the
8:59
charging stand and it's ready to roll
9:01
now let me tell you just a tiny bit
9:03
about the Google pixel stand because it
9:05
actually can do up to a 10 watt charge
9:08
on the pixel 3 or the pixel 3 XL and
9:11
that means it's going to charge it
9:12
pretty darn fast it'll work with other
9:14
cheese or wireless devices like an
9:17
iPhone but you know come on if you're
9:19
gonna get all this set up then you're
9:20
probably a super big Google fan and
9:23
you're probably gonna want to live
9:24
within the Google ecosystem so let's see
9:27
what I haven't talked about is I haven't
9:29
talked about prices so let's roll all
9:31
the way back and I'll give you just some
9:32
basic pricing numbers so this is the
9:36
basic Google pixel 3 XL in 64 gig in not
9:42
pink though you can't talk is that the
9:43
case on it and that will cost you nine
9:45
hundred and twenty nine dollars if you
9:47
go through horizon.com and various
9:50
payment plans you can get it in
9:51
different colors you can get in
9:52
different memory configurations at its
9:55
most basic nine hundred and twenty nine
9:56
dollars the case is a little spendy
10:00
because they have the ability to do
10:02
custom graphics apparently that brings
10:04
the price up so this is a fifty dollar
10:06
case which you can check out at store
10:09
google.com and finally the stand the
10:13
Google pixel stand is $79 again at store
10:17
google calm so that's it a lot of
10:21
packaging but a lot of really nice
10:23
electronics inside I am definitely
10:25
excited about learning more and trying
10:28
out and using the Google pixel 3xl now
10:32
before I let you go go ahead number one
10:35
subscribe please appreciate that and
10:38
number two give me some feedback
10:40
I don't do a lot of unboxing so I'm not
10:42
exactly sure what the appeal is it's
10:44
stuff in a box now what's stuff not in a
10:46
box so tell me why did you watch this
10:49

10:52
want close-ups of and what kind of
10:55
feedback do you want to hear from me as
10:56
