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手機而言，情況并非如此，因為它們的保質期只有一年，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。確實沒有什么奇怪的，但與其他原始設備制造商的做法相比，這一點并不稀奇。

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，即使錯過了最新的Snapdragon865和5G。對一些人來說，基于Soli的雷達、新相機以及軟件支持的覆蓋期，足以讓他們轉而選擇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，當然，價格因素總是存在的，此時Pixel 4會以全價出售。不可否認的是，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。
