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 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...
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...

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...
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...
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...

It's fast as balls, Camera output is otherworldly, Best front facing camera on a smartphone, Same performance for small and XL models, Display is tuned perfectly, Fantastic battery life (XL model)
Bezels are stupid big, No 64GB model, Battery life (regular model), Limited color options, Excessive camera glare issue, No wireless charging (despite half-glass back), No extreme water resistance
A friend of mind once told me that if you want to find a good pizza place, the best way is to order just a plain cheese pizza — no toppings. If a place can nail down the basics, you know that anything else you throw on top is just a bonus. That's how you...
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...
Google Assistant is fantastic, Excellent camera with HDR+ and ES, Lighting fast experience, Above average battery life, Above average speaker performance, Great display, Pixel Launcher is one of the best interfaces
Generic, understated design, Easily chipped and dented, Lack of OIS can affect videos, High price tag
The Pixel and Pixel XL represent a new approach to hardware for Google, and while they're not perfect, what they do, they do extremely well. An excellent camera, intuitive Google Assistant, lightning fast experience, the latest hardware and good battery l...
