谷歌下架Pixel 3和Pixel 3 XL

Smartphones come and go but more often than not you can expect them to be available for more than a year. That’s not the case with Google’s Pixel phones, however, as these seem to have a shelf life of one year, at least as far as Google’s own store goes. Just like its predecessor, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have now disappeared from there, clearing the market for the Pixel 4 and perhaps even an upcoming Pixel 4a.

智能手機(jī)來來往往，但通常，您會期望它們可以使用一年以上。但是，對于Google的Pixel手機(jī)而言，情況并非如此，因?yàn)樗鼈兊谋Ｙ|(zhì)期只有一年，至少就Google自己的商店而言是這樣。就像其前身一樣，Pixel 3和Pixel 3 XL現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)從那里消失了，為Pixel 4甚至即將到來的Pixel 4a掃清了市場。

To be fair, it has been a year and five months since the Pixel 3 launched. It was also around this time last year when the Pixel 2 and 2 XL vanished from the Google Store. There’s really no surprise there but it doesn’t make it less unusual compared to other OEMs’ practices.

公平地說，Pixel3推出已經(jīng)一年零五個月了。就在去年的這個時候，Pixel 2和Pixel 2XL從谷歌商店消失了。確實(shí)沒有什么奇怪的，但與其他原始設(shè)備制造商的做法相比，這一點(diǎn)并不稀奇。

Then again, there might not be much point to opting for a Pixel 3 or even a 3 XL at this point. Aesthetic considerations aside, the more recent Pixel 4 series definitely has the upper hand when it comes to hardware, even if missed out on the latest Snapdragon 865 and 5G. For some, the Soli-based radar, the new cameras, and the coverage period of software support would be enough reasons to reach for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL instead.

再次重申，此時選擇Pixel 3甚至3 XL可能沒有多大意義。拋開美觀因素不談，在硬件方面，最新的Pixel4系列無疑占據(jù)了上風(fēng)，即使錯過了最新的Snapdragon865和5G。對一些人來說，基于Soli的雷達(dá)、新相機(jī)以及軟件支持的覆蓋期，足以讓他們轉(zhuǎn)而選擇Pixel 4和Pixel 4XL。

But, of course, there’s always the price factor, with the Pixel 4 at full price at this point. There’s also no denying that there will be those who find the Pixel 4’s features excessive and unnecessary.

但是，當(dāng)然，價格因素總是存在的，此時Pixel 4會以全價出售。不可否認(rèn)的是，會有人發(fā)現(xiàn)Pixel 4的功能過分多余。

Fortunately, the Pixel 3 is still available from other retailers even if Google has run out of stocks. Android Police lists B&H Photo as one such source, selling the Pixel 3 XL for $450 while Best Buy sells the Pixel 3 for $450. Those might not last long, however, if those still on the fence start grabbing units before they completely vanish.

幸運(yùn)的是，即使Google沒庫存了，Pixel 3仍可從其他零售商處購買。 Android Police將B&H Photo作為貨源之一，以450美元的價格出售Pixel 3 XL，而Best Buy 則以450美元的價格出售Pixel 3。如果那些仍持觀望態(tài)度的人在它們完全消失之前就開始瘋狂購買的話，這種情況可能不會持續(xù)太久。
