<p>I have the regular Pixel 3 and Google Fi, as the XL isn't worth it. And I have no such audio performance issues like Thurrott mentioned with his XL. On the contrary I love the quality of calls and especially the audio. I play more music via USB and BT earbuds and speakers. But even the built in speakers sound great to me. Thus I suspect that Foxconn cut corners on the six-sigma manufacturing side of these phones. Our 2 Pixel 3as sound almost as good, and have a few stability issues.</p>
