| - | [* black] We resort to prying out the battery and accidentally tear a fragile ribbon cable hiding underneath! Forewarned is forearmed, a repair manual would have helped us in this arena. |
| - | [* black] Adhesive ordeals aside, the battery's out: the Pixel 3 XL is packing 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]. |

| + | [* black] Adhesive ordeals aside, the battery's out: the Pixel 3 XL is packing 13.2 Wh. That's actually down a smidge 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]. |
| [* black] The Pixel 3 XL still beats out the [guide|113021|iPhone XS Max|stepid=216142] (12.08 Wh), and comes close to the [guide|104308|Galaxy S9+|stepid=195675|new_window=true] (13.48 Wh). |
