The unlocked Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL 64 GB was last on sale for Prime Day, with both marked down 29% from their regular retail prices. Well, Amazon just beat those outstanding prices with an even better deal on the Google smartphones that take up to 37% off.

Both phones are marked down by about $300. For the Google Pixel 3, this brings down the price from $799 to $499 , and the Pixel 3 XL goes from $899 to $600 (that’s $35 cheaper than Prime Day). Both phones are Prime eligible, and with the Pixel 3, you’ll qualify for 0% financing for six months, with payments of $83.33 per month.

Google Pixel 3 review
Simon Hill/Digital Trends

Our own Simon Hill describes the Google Pixel 3 as “a hair away from pocket-sized perfection” in his review of the device for Digital Trends. It’s easy to see why: The 5.5-inch, the nearly edge-to-edge display is simply beautiful, and it just feels like the perfect size for a smartphone when you hold it.

The screen’s not the only selling point of this device: A fantastic 12.2-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures in a variety of lighting. The Pixel 3 uses HDR and A.I. to ensure your photographs look their best. Google has included a wide array of shooting modes to help you take the best shot, which we found helpful. We also felt the Pixel 3’s camera takes photos that better capture the true colors of what you see than competing phones like the iPhone XS.

While its Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and 4GB of RAM don’t exactly set land-speed records in terms of smartphone performance, the phone isn’t sluggish at all. Maybe this is because it isn’t bogged down with smartphone bloatware like many other Android devices are these days — we’re looking at you Samsung.

Google Pixel 3 XL

The Pixel 3’s bigger brother offers .8 inches more of screen size, coming in at a stout 6.3-inches. It has all of the Pixel 3’s great features, including the bright and colorful OLED screen and excellent 12.2-megapixel camera.

We’d recommend the Pixel 3 XL for those who use their phone for everything — working with a larger screen is just a better experience. If you use your smartphone as an entertainment device, that extra screen real estate makes a big difference. The Pixel 3 XL’s dual front-facing speakers give the device some impressive audio chops, too.

Top phone brands should learn how to deck out a flagship without nuking our wallets
Red Magic 11S Pro Full Rear Design

I've always had a soft spot for devices that lean heavily into one aspect as their main identity. From phones that aim to replace a dedicated camera to devices with batteries larger than some power banks, these products know exactly what they were made for. They do not chase the same all-rounder brief as a typical flagship.

The Red Magic 11S Pro is a great example of this. I've always had a soft spot for devices that lean heavily into one aspect as their main identity.

Apple App Store

Apple has removed several AI-powered "nudify" apps from the App Store after coming under legal pressure from San Francisco's city attorney, but the episode raises a much bigger question than whether a handful of apps violated App Store rules.

The real issue is why these apps made it onto one of the world's most tightly controlled app marketplaces in the first place.

Stardust, Flo and other popular period trackers flunk Mozilla’s latest privacy test
Euki scored a perfect 10, whereas Stardust scored a dismal 2 on privacy.
Spot On Period tracker layout

Your period tracker knows some of your most personal health details. The question is whether it keeps them private. Mozilla has published a new privacy review of six popular period tracking apps, ranking them from best to worst based on how they collect, store, and share sensitive reproductive health data.

One app earned a perfect score for keeping data on your device, while another landed at the bottom after researchers found it shared users' health information with an analytics company. These findings arrive at a time when privacy around reproductive health data remains a growing concern, especially after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US.
