Vergecast: Pixel 3 review, the new Palm phone, and Google antitrust violations

This week on The Vergecast, Nilay, Paul, and Dieter discuss the Pixel 3, tackling its new features, improved screen, and infamous notch. Then, Nilay covers the latest in antitrust news coming off the heels of the European Commission fining Google $5 billion for “illegally tying” Chrome and search apps to Android.
