Google Pixel 3 XL is one of the best flagship Android devices out there in the market in 2018. The latest pure stock Android UI and upgraded camera beat some other flagship devices in that category.

The build is in beta mode now and there are several bugs on that custom ROM, still, you can call it as a stable version and use it because most of the main features are working well.
