Android from Google. This is a cohesive, consistent software package instead of being a branding battleground between Google and a third party, The Assistant is fun, fast, and useful. A great evolution of Google's already great voice command system, The
The skyhigh price feels more like a marketing ploy ("We're just as good as the iPhone!") than a justifiable price point, The single speaker is a big downgrade from the Nexus 6P. Google is charging more and delivering less, A rear glass panel adds fragil
Camera This may be the best smartphone camera ever. It's not just the quality of the photos, but the experience this camera is so fast, Battery life So far, I'd say the Pixel XL has offered battery life basically comparable to the Snapdragon version of Sa
Price There's no way around it, the price points are high. iPhone high. And you're going to be hardpressed to convince the valueobsessed that there's nearly $800 of smartphone in a Pixel XL
I feel that after the pricing was leaked, many people expected that Google would pull a rabbit out of its hat with the Pixel. There had to be something more. The truth is, it's just a very good phone, and one that Google is now making the focus of its eff...
Speedy performance, Latest Android, with fast updates and thoughtful software additions, Excellent build quality, Great, fast camera that excels in video
No water resistance, Eyewatering SIMfree price, Google Assistant is still learning, Back glass prone to scratching
Abstract: The reviews are in and to say opinions are split could be the understatement of the year. Most smartphones see first-run reviews that are generally pretty similar across the board; bloggers and technology journalists either like a phone for the most part...

Beautiful screen, Excellent camera, Nougat and Google Assistant
Pricey, No microSD support
The Google Pixel phone comes packing the same super-premium price of Apple's iPhone 7, but like Apple's flagship handset it's an absolute powerhouse. There's nothing this mobile can't do, from multi-tasking with apps to capturing detail-packed 4K video fo...
Compact build, Strong camera performance, Fast Snapdragon 821 processor, Latest Android 7,1 Nougat software, Promising Google Assistant functionality, 24/7 live help, Unlimited Google Photos storage
No waterproofing, expandable storage, or wireless charging
If you lust after the latest Android software and cool new features in the Google Pixel XL, but are turned off by large phones, the 5-inch Pixel is a superb alternative...
The Google Pixel has a fantastic camera, especially in low light. It's elegantly designed. Google Assistant takes one of the most natural, human approaches to answering your voice.
The phone's display is dim in outdoor sunlight and its camera's Lens Blur feature is shoddy. It's splashresistant rather than dunkable, and it's pricey compared to previous Google Nexus devices
If you're wary of Samsung or looking for a worthy iPhone alternative, the Google Pixel is the high-end Android phone to get...

Fantastic camera, stunning image stabilization, Superb Google Assistant, Great performance, Strong battery life, Built-in support and unlimited storage in Google Photos
Disappointing design, OK audio, No microSD card slot
Though the Pixel XL's uninspired appearance doesn't make the best impression, if you dig a little deeper, you'll see why Google's new top-to-bottom approach to smartphones makes so much sense. With total control over hardware and software, Google can deli...
Expensive, Yawninducing design, Less waterresistant than rivals
The 5-inch Pixel is a great phone, and its big brother, the Pixel XL, is ever so slightly better. You'll get the same top-tier performance as on the smaller model, just with a bigger, crisper display and a more capacious battery to sweeten the deal. W...

Abstract: Google is not the first or the second year engaged in production of its smartphones, but perhaps for the first time decided to take this process under more than ever, control. Where are such conclusions from?Firstly, the new models come out a completely n...
