Expensive

Really peculiar design choices

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

No major differentiator outside of the software or camera

The two phones appear relatively evenly matched on paper. And as for the rest, there are a lot of unanswered questions.The OnePlus 3 camera has more megapixels, but will Google's sensor technology give it the edge? Does an upgrade to Snapdragon 821 beat t...

iPhone 7 Plus has far better waterresistance, Pixel XL has a better camera and screen resolution

Both handsets have impressive hardware. The Snapdragon 821 represents the top of the Android tree at the time of writing, and Apple's A10 Fusion processor does the same.Screen-sizes are equal, but the Pixel XL just edges it with a QHD resolution. Google h...
It's close call when it comes to the Pixel against the iPhone, although some specs such as the screen are better, we think it's a brave move for Google to match Apple when it comes to price. This will largely come down to where your loyalties lie but on t...

Abstract: Left a little bit underwhelmed by the recent iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus unveiling? You're not alone. It's time then to see what Apple's chief rival Google's got up its sleeve, as the Google Pixel XL has just dropped and we've been lucky enough to have an...
We wouldn't say one of these phones was arguably better than the other, since in essence they are almost the same phone. The Google Pixel is our pick for its more manageable size and lower price, but the Pixel XL stands out for its larger, higher-resoluti...

On first impressions, weecan't help but feel that the Pixel is a bit of a wasted opportunity. The handset has a largely boring design, doesn't offer much in the way of innovation and is expensive compared with previous Nexus smartphones. Price: £599...
Stunning, fast camera, The best version of Android yet, Impressive stamina, Bright display, Google Assistant is better than Siri
No water-resistance, Not very durable, Pretty pricey
Google Pixel XL – Battery Life Battery life on the Pixel XL is fantastic, and screen aside, it's one of the few things that sets it apart from the smaller model. Tucked inside is a non-removable 3,450mAh cell – 50mAh smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edg...

Great build quality and design, Great camera, Good battery life, Uncluttered pure Android experience - with extras, Unlimited photo storage
No microSD card slot, Price, Camera has some white balance issues
The Pixel XL is the most accomplished phone that's come from Google. The dabs of consumer refinement that Pixel has applied makes the Nexus programme feel like beta testing. And Google loves beta testing, so in many ways the Pixel is the result of learnin...
