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
Lacks water resistance
Fairly ordinary design
No major differentiator outside of the software or camera
Great software, Excellent performance, Camera produces stunning pics in many shooting situations, Ships with useful adapters
Not waterproof, No expandable storage, Camera's lowlight performance disappointing
The Google Pixel XL is an acceptable piece of hardware buoyed by superb software and excellent performance. It's hard to call it the best overall Android smartphone when it lacks waterproofing, removable storage, and OIS, even though it definitely runs...
The Pixel XL beats out all comers in the 5.5″ or larger smartphone category, but at a high price tag. Buy it if you want the best Android smartphone in creation. For those looking for a budget model, try the OnePlus 3 $170 Nextbit Robin...
More flexible camera exposure, Fast recharge times, Headphone jack, Higherres display, Brighter screen, More color/storage options, Optical zoom, Slimmer build, Stereo speakers, Longer battery life, Waterproof
Much as we saw with the iPhone 7 and 5-inch Pixel, the iPhone 7 Plus and Pixel XL don't give either much wiggle room in this comparison: one may have a slim lead in one category, while the other pulls a little bit ahead in another. Though this time, it di...

Google is clearly and unambiguously targeting the flagship market with its Pixel phones. With a starting price of $649 for the smaller 5.0-inch Pixel with 32GB of storage ($749 with 128GB) and $769 for the 5.5-inch Pixel XL with 32GB ($869 with 128GB), Go...
There is a lot to like about the Pixel and Pixel XL. The software is very usable and the hardware is charming if a little uninspiring at times.The camera is a great step forward in terms of performance and usability.Sadly, it doesn't have that much water...
Google Assistant, Awesome camera quality, Super smooth performance, Great battery life,
Not waterproof, No VoLTE support for now, Pricey
The thing with the Google Pixel XL (and the Pixel, since it's essentially the same except for differences in screen and battery) is, there's very little to complain about. Okay, it isn't waterproof, and that does seem like a glaring omission on Google's p...
Very fast, Great camera, Long battery life, 2 years of OS updates, 3 years of security updates
Expensive, Not water resistant/water proof, No stereo speakers
First the bad.Let's face it, the Pixel has an uninspired design that doesn't help it stick out from a sea of other phones on the market by looks alone.The Pixel does not have water resistance like the latest phones from the big boys like Apple and Samsung...

good display, high-end build quality, LTE Cat. 11, fast WiFi, excellent voice quality, great cameras, low SAR values
no Dual-SIM, no microSD support, PWM, SoC throttling
The Google Pixel XL is a very good smartphone. However, its core feature, the Google Assistant, is not a decisive reason to buy it. Above all, it does not justify the price which the manufacturer charges for its product.However, the Pixel XL brings high-e...
Abstract: It's no wonder Google's new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones have turned heads. Their high-quality builds and sophisticated look are a far cry from the cheap, pedestrian Nexus Android smartphones Google used to sell. And with the battery debacle forcing Sam...

The Google Pixel XL is a compelling smartphone. It's not without faults, but the pros far outweigh any cons.To me, the biggest con is the hardware. The Pixel XL is simply a boring phone to behold. Nothing about the design stands out in a meaningful way, o...
