| - | [* black] Off comes the new wireless charging pad (with too much adhesive for our taste) |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] and out comes the battery. thanks @google for the pull tabs |
| - | [* black] fragile cables under the battery mean that if your pull tabs break, you must pry very carefully |
| + | [* black] Eager to take a look at the power plant of the phone, we peel back the wireless charging pad. |
| + | [* black] Unfortunately it furthers the overly glue-y precedent set by the rest of the phone. |
| + | [* black] After wading through a lot of rather unfriendly adhesive, we're grateful to see pull strips on the battery. |
| + | [* black] But as pull strips are wont to do, these ones break before they release the battery. |
| + | [* black] Our excitement is further stifled when, while prying out the battery, we accidentally tear a fragile ribbon cable hiding under the battery. |
| + | [* black] Adhesive ordeals aside, the battery's out: the Pixel 3 XL is running on 3430 mAh at 3.85 V for a total of 13.2 Wh. That's actually down from the [guide|98093|Pixel 2 XL's 13.6 Wh|stepid=180041|new_window=true], and around the same as the original [guide|71237|Pixel XL's 13.28 Wh|stepid=142663|new_window=true]. |
