Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL review: Android’s finest

While I care more about real-life usage, benchmarks matter to a certain degree. Running synthetic benchmark tests such as the popular Geekbench 4 provides good insight on where the Pixel 3’s stand in comparison to other phones, the value they offer, and the runway they might have as they get updated with software.

Shocking even me, I learned the smaller Pixel 3 is actually more powerful than the 3 XL as far as CPU benchmarks with Geekbench 4 goes.

Running three tests and getting the average, the Pixel 3 scored a single-core score of 2.358 and multi-core score of 8,251. On the same CPU test, the Pixel 3 XL scored average of 1,845 single-core score and an average of 6,862 on the multi-core score.

That puts the Pixel 3 at 27.8 percent faster on single-core operations and 20.4 percent faster on multi-core operations.

Why there’s a performance difference is unclear. Perhaps the larger screen and larger battery on the Pixel 3 XL suck up just a bit more CPU power.

The Pixel 3’s raw power is disappointing compared to other flagship Android phones. I ran fresh Geekbench 4 tests on the Galaxy Note 9 (Android 8.1 Oreo) and the OnePlus 6 (Android 9 Pie) and both scored higher than the Pixel 3’s.

The Galaxy Note scored an average 2,445 (3.69 percent faster than Pixel 3) on single-core and 8,922 (8.13 percent faster than Pixel 3) on multi-core. The OnePlus 6 scored an average 2,399 on single-core (1.74 percent faster than the Pixel 3) and 8,976 on multi-core (38.72 percent faster than Pixel 3).
