Upgrading from the Google Pixel XL to the Pixel 3 XL means skipping a generation, and that means you will see a nice overall boost. To start, you’ll be going from a 5.5-inch display to a 6.3-inch display with HDR support. The Pixel 3 XL feature set includes the Snapdragon 845 processor with Pixel Visual Core and Titan M security module, 4GB of RAM, up to 128GB of internal storage space and a 3430 mAh battery. Other features that were not found on the Pixel XL include Active Edge technology and water resistance, as well as improvements to the front and rear-camera setups.
