![]() Issue #7 - No 4K Video Recording at 60FPSĭuring the official presentation at the Made by Google event, Google really didn't want to talk tech specs. Likelihood of a fix coming: This issue was addressed in the December 2018 security update. Google Response: The Pixel's December 2018 security update also brought improvements to the buzzing speaker issue, users report on Reddit. ![]() Here's an excerpt from BGR's review which describes the issue they have: Still, it's something you should test for yourself if you have the chance to demo a device before buying it. This issue was first brought up by BGR, but I'm skeptical how much of a problem it really is. While the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL offer the best haptic feedback on any Android device (I'm not the kind of person who usually cares, but I can tell that it's exceptional), some reviewers have noted that the devices vibrate excessively when loud music is played over the speakers. I don't know how many of you listen to music from the speakers while holding a phone in your hand, but if that describes you then you may be bothered by the Pixel 3's vibration motor. We also worked closely with the expert tuning of a Grammy-award winning music producer to enhance the audio in a way that plays to the strengths of the hardware system." - /u/ PixelCommunity on Reddit We use new amplifier technology with advanced speaker protection algorithms to push these speakers harder and really get every last bit of performance out of them. We specially designed speakers that allow for louder sound (40% louder than last year) and better low frequency response. That is, unless, your Pixel actually saves the picture you just took. With features like Top Shot, Motion Photos, and Motion Auto Focus, it's easier than ever to capture a great photo - even if your hands are unsteady or the subject is moving. The Google Camera app does everything it can to make sure that even beginners like me who simply point-and-shoot at a subject can capture decent photos. It's hard not to gush over how awesome the Pixel 3's camera is. Issue #2 - Sometimes, photos aren't being saved Likelihood of a fix coming: Fix rolled out with the December security patches. ![]() Google Response: Google rolled out an update in December addressing these issues. But now that it's possible to root the Pixel 3, we can tweak the LMK values to see for ourselves. Whether the default values Google chose are too aggressive remains to be seen, as Google has not yet offered any kind of statement on the matter. The LMK driver usually resides in the kernel, but since Linux kernel 4.12 there's now a userspace LMK daemon. LMK, or Low Memory Killer, is a process that monitors memory usage and kills the least essential processes to free up memory for more important tasks. As for a potential cause of the issue, two kernel developers that I've spoken to attribute some of the blame to Google's move to using the LMKD. ![]()
