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...
Unique design with a build that feels even better than the Pixel XL, Snapdragon 821 Nougat = silkysmooth performance, Battery life isn't just good, but could even beat the Pixel XL, Welldone camera makes it easy to capture impressive pics, Pixel Imprint f
Display in need of a brightness boost, A little on the thick side for a phone this size, No waterproofing/dust resistance
It's been a rough few years for users who prefer smaller smartphones, and Google's last five-inch model was introduced all the way back in 2013, with the Nexus 5. But now with the Pixel, Google's really offering shoppers a no-compromise handset that's sti...
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: It's been a little over two weeks since I received my Google Pixel (XL) review unit, so I thought I would provide an addendum to our review based on more time with the phone. I won't be covering every category I did in the review. But I will try to give y...
Abstract: Underwhelming at first glance, it's tempting to review the Google Pixel by simply weighing it against its peers. Does it trounce its Nexus relatives, a brand it renders defunct? Does it compare in value to the identically-priced iPhone 7 ? Let's put these...
These phones, or at least this review, is funny in a way because as you read through it, by no means are all of the boxes checked. Still, though, it would be hard for me to not recommend you buy the Pixel or Pixel XL as your next phone. Even without th...
Abstract: While it doesn't seem like the first phone Google has ever made, the Pixel actually comes across as a bit of a revolutionary idea for the search giant. Google has generally sat behind the lines and quietly watched as the market uses their mobile operating...
Abstract: We've reached a point in mobile photography where just about every high-end smartphone these days is more or less capable of taking a perfectly good photo. At this point, all we can do is nitpick, zooming into 100% crops and analyzing every last Pixel . B...
Abstract: The best small Android phone you can buy.It's been a fun few days, what with unboxing the Pixel and trying to get to know it as quickly as possible.And in that time, I've realized a few important things about the device, from its feel in the hand (great!)...
Incredibly high quality build, Fast, fast, fast, Great battery life, Industryleading AMOLED screen, Big step for mobile VR, Best of the best camera, Ultra high quality 24bit audio output, 3.5mm audio jack, Easy transfer utility, 24/7 phone or chat support
Styling might be too close to an iPhone for some
At this point it's much harder to argue against buying Google's Pixel or Pixel XL than it is arguing against such a purchase. At this price it's definitely going to drive some people away, there's simply no denying it, and it's a stark contrast from the N...
