Google Pixel 3’s Refined Haptic Feedback Makes Using It Irresistible

On many fronts, the GooglePixel 3feels like a top-class device. Everything from the high-resolution display to the frosted glass back which feels silky in your hand, to the unbeatable camera —each element vouches for the flagship statusof the Pixel 3 devices.

There another feature which appeals to your primary senses — the haptic feedback. Thehaptic feedback on the Pixel 3 XL is simply amazingand better than I’ve had on any other phone or tablet, at least on Android.

The credit for this refined experience goes to thenew vibration motor and haptic feedback engineused in the two new phones, which greatly elevates the touch interaction experience.

Up until now, we’d seeniPhones rule the field when it comes to haptic feedback– which will be clear to anyone who has pressed the Home button on the iPhone 7 or 8. The vibration on these premium smartphones does not feel intrusive, let alone rumbling – it is musical and delightful.

It’s hard to convey in words the real feeling you get when you hold thePixel 3 XL in the handand touch that display —this is how all premium phones should feel and theminimal aesthetic of the phone only enhances this feeling.

Thevibration from your touches feels better timed and it seems to have the perfect intensity. While I usually prefer to turn off the haptic feedback on most Android devices because of how obtrusive it can feel — almost like the phone is getting back at me by hitting my thumbs back with tiny battering rams — I have been enjoying keeping it on in the Pixel 3 XL. Typing on the Pixel 3 XL feels like the phone is singing to your thumbs.

If you haven’t already fallen for the camera (check out these amazing photo samples), this is another reason to love the Pixel 3.
