The XL is Google's priciest phone yet. The camera Lens Blur feature needs improvement and it's not as water resistant as its top-tier rivals

The Pixel XL seems to push ahead in some areas, but there's always something trying to drag it back. The camera works well a lot of the time, but favours some scenarios over others; battery life is impressive but the fast charging isn't all it's cracked u...

Abstract: SAMSUNG RELEASED THE Galaxy S7 to great fanfare earlier this year, and it built just enough on the successes of the S6 for us to deem it one of 2016's highlights and award it 9/10. If you missed it, our original Galaxy S7 review can be found here . Googl...

Beautiful QHD display, dualcameras are worth the kudos, modest performance, generous battery life
Price, Google Assistant doesn't live up to its potential, unimaginative design, iffy 15 minute battery claims
Given a few years' grace, Google could yet strike the perfect balance between price and a winning feature set. However, for the time being, the Pixel XL is a thoroughly competent, yet expensive alternative...

Fast camera that takes quality snaps, As slick and streamlined as Android gets
Only average battery life, Marmite school of design, No standout features
The Pixel XL is a bit of a puzzle. A £719 puzzle that I'm not sure I've managed to solve after a week of using one. Right now, though, the OnePlus 3 is still the best value Android phone - it's half the price of the XL, but matches it for build quality a...

Brilliant battery life, excellent Google Assistant and lightweight
Hardware feels cheaper than it is
WIRED ADVERTISEMENT Android fans will find a lot to love about the Pixel and Pixel XL. They bring some nice touches and useful features to good-quality, albeit not great quality, hardware. Battery life on the Pixel XL is brilliant and gives the...
It's hard to get too excited about the Pixel XL given that it's such a marginal upgrade over the 6P. Sure, it has a new design a couple of extra camera features, more RAM and a faster processor, but it's also a lot more expensive. It isn't water-resistant...
