Still using mine too.. as a Nexus 6P replacement. I always buy phone's a generation behind & lucked out with the Pixel XL getting Android 10 . After updating to 10, I ran a full wipe & reset from recovery mode & this thing runs like it did when I opened the box. With the 3 years of updates & patches, Google is the only way I'll spend my hard earned dough on a slab of glass I remove from my pocket 90 times per day.

Recently bought a used Pixel XL. I am really enjoying it. Updated to Android 10. It is buttersmooth. Camera is better than expectations. Speakers quality is super. Display is extraordinary. Thanks Google.

Brian01

Where can you get that for 150???

Jimmmml

Hi. From 100 to 30 about 3 hours 1 min of SOT WiFi + data I just bought a "power delivery power bank" to top up battery when i was outside. Pls use some high quality power bank which has type c to type c or else it will hurt the battery more. Already 3 weeks of usage. The battery still the same as what i got from the first day haha

faizi

hi, i used 2 of the phones but the only problem i found is battery issue. It's not good. Can you share me your experience regarding that.

Jimmmml

Hi guys. I just bought pixel XL 128gb version for under 150$. Ok here's what my experience about the phone Screen Still good 1440p resolution amoled bright and sharp nothing bad happen yet Battery Ok this is no good. Only last about 3.30 hrs screen on time with 1 day of usage. This i will change the battery if i was you but since im still under warranty so I'll wait first and stick with power bank. Camera Still pixel XL camera. 2016 best camera don't compare with pixel 2 and above pls. The camera is so good but it still has camera flare happen when you use the camera. How to prevent it, just use your hand and put on top of your phone serve as an umbrella to block the direct light that cause camera flare. Speaker Work fine and quite loud for single speaker clear voice, i don't know why youtuber said speaker are the worst. Maybe after software update. Cons Camera flare Battery life Fingerprint sensor: sometime it bugged and can't register or scan if this happen to you just register only 1 finger max this help me

Nyamkacang

This phone very good..

Keypad

It's a big worth for device now under 150$ for secondhand. But, I recommend you to wait until Pixel 4 release and instead buy the Pixel 2 XL. Anyways, the support for Google Photos is going to expire in less than half year.

QDogg

Hello, I'm from the US. I've purchased multiple original Pixel devices for friends and family. I think this phone is great to use in 2019. You can pickup this phone on ebay used for around $100 for the 128GB. For those who purchase used phones, do yourself a favor and purchase a new battery and take it to a local repair shop for them to replace. Ensure that the battery you purchase is a newly manufactured battery (the manufactured date is on the battery). Slap on a case and you're good to go! This phone will get Android Q as it's last software update. Lastly, the camera on here DOES support portrait mode, but you have to sideload it. I recommend Googling Arnova's Advanced to bring up a Google Camera Port developer page. Arnova is a developer who tweaks the Google camera software to unlock certain features. Download the latest version of the app (look for the one with the most current date). This camera app will have portrait mode and other software enhancements that the developers have been able unlock on the Pixel. Ultimately, you can get a really good phone for a cheap price and enhance it with minor modifications. For people in developing/emerging market countries, this is a much better buy than getting an LG/BLU/Samsung phone. It's much more affordable and you'll get good value for what you're buying.

I bought this phone brand new 1 year ago, is a major go.

Thank you for your review, been planning to get a Google Pixel XL for a long time but wanna research first before purchasing one.

I already have both pixel and pixel xl or you can say 2 pixel in both colors white and black and xl in black as well both pixel and xl are damn awesome phones i have ever used in my 21 years of line honestly its my 76th phone currently and i have 3 phones right now and i have used all phone till now its i use pixel coz its handy and feels soild in hand while xl is for just movies and mail shits but the only thing that makes this phone awesome is camera you can say its the best camera i have ever used in a phone i used to be iphone user as well last iphone i had was iphone 7 plus but i can say strongly its camera is far better then iphone 7 plus as well and i will say just grab it and you will never regret that you made a bad decision pixel or xl its your own choice xl is quite big to use in public for me more than a brick :)

this or motorola z force?

Google Pixel XL. It has an AMOLED display, a better camera, NFC, it is already with Android 10. No doubt that Pixel XL is the best option.

same. wondering which phone to get as both are similarly price. In terms of performance, camera (night) and hardware,software, which is the better phone?

Mark

Yes, it has all the same photo software as Pixel 2 and maybe later versions. I have the Pixel XL and it has been great. Latest updates to my phone give "night sight". It also has everything you would expect on a high end smartphone such as panorama and photo sphere. The camera is great and my GF bought an $800 camera and is annoyed that my photos are usually better.

fuadhasan4057

Does this phone have a portrait mode in the camera function like pixel xl2 ?

Blake

When will google announce if the pixel xl is receiving the final version of android Q?

Azurevin

is these screen resolution "same" as 1920 x 1080p? i want for to post on instagram story for my online shop, i need like 1080p 16:9 screen, pls confirm if this XL was same, or more tall? i hope 1440p can be more clear display and can't be cropped on instagram story

Android Q beta was released for Pixel 1 XL, so it looks like yes.

Velu G

Yes it has . Can't beat this night shot quality It should be hold for a sec to capture night shot even in a low light picture quality is awesome

Velu G

The Google Pixel is awesome .every performance is best. Best: Google Camera night shot is excellent beats iPhone 7 Screen is AMOLED display gives best result Look and feel is good Fast charger with in 1 hour Fast fingerprint recognition Neg: Battery Backup is average as the performance is high One day normal usage While taking video auto focus is not good Always get blurred video .sometimes blurred picture Fast movement vidoe is not good .

Andrey F

I have been using Google Pixel XL for more than 2 years. I do not want to change it; it is really quick and camera is superb. The only problem I have is that the display faded out in same spots where same things are shown all the time. If I swich on completely blank screen I can see where all the icons were and the keyboard letters. That's a problem of all OLEDs.

Google pixel Xl 1 or redmi note 7 ???

Hi, anybody having issue to update or download from playstore ? Whenever i want to download or update an app the download speed is crazily slow AF and sometimes failed to download. Please help.

No not at all

In my opinion.. the reason why Pixel and Pixel XL malfuncfions is because you're not using the standard usb C charger that came with the phone. Have you watch the video about Power Delivery Charger? It explains that USB C Power Delivery is a new thing that Google developed for the future charging method. Even any third party is producing USB type C, it may not eligible for the Pixel standards. I believe it affects to Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 also. So before you buy USB type C for your backup charger, better you cancel your thought. Keep using the standard charger, and for Pixel XL users, better not upgrade to Android Pie for a while. Too risky and many bugs I think.

pixel lover

this smartphone have no problem in andriod pie update after updating 9.0 its work more smooth and some new camera graphic....galaxy s7 edge is just suck i bought s7 edge pin pack but after 1 month screen pixel dead and dotts appera on screen...pixel is still better

Steve

I am the owner of a Google Pixel XL, first series. In July of this year, the phone automatically stopped connecting to WIFI and Bluetooth. After much research, it was determined this is a hardware problem. Of course the phone is well outside the warranty. There are some options to fix the problem, typically at a cost of $250, which I am not prepared to pay for a phone that is 2 years old. This was a major disappointment. Google help didn't help and didn't acknowledge that this has become a known issue. Incidentally, the phone is currently on Android 9 as the phone is enrolled on the Beta program and received 9 a day or two after its release.

anton

yes when i update the headphone for calling is not working but sound and music is ok but when you call not working sombody can hear you.

Nikos

Is there any problem after being upgraded to android 9?

pixel xl is 100% better than galaxy s7 edge...best camera best update every thing best..samsung suck i am using pixel xl in 2018 no problem while using still best camera and i am also play phub

iurew

Hi I don't know about nokia 7 but pixel xl only guaranteed to receive updates until oct 2018...so it reach its end of life. I am buying pixel xl because my budget is very low as a student and I drop phones a lot. However, if I had more money I would get something newer, because of the active updating and support the phone would receive. Also Pixel XL known for amoled display issues, like burn in...

Ajay

Google pixel is a great phone... None of the company can beat this phone, iPhone camera also can't beat the Google's camera... Go for google it's a best processor with high performance Frndz....

Are we doing back to the future now?

Sam8

DEFINITE BUYER’S REMORSE! I purchased a Google Pixel XL Oct. 2018 and I am on my 4th phone! Long story – short: My phones have had hardware issues that created cases to have the phones replaced. I have looked up these issues and they seem to be common with this phone: 1) The microphone quits working and people can’t hear you talking and 2) The phone freezes up and dies. The WORST problem is that I chronically can’t receive or send most of my texts messages as well as calls with all of the phones that i have had! I have to continually restart my phone no matter where I am. There is NO Google help and I have spent a stupid amount of money for a phone that doesn’t work! The longer story: My other family members have iPhones and Samsung Droids and they don’t have those problems. I have dealt with Best Buy (where I purchased my phone) as well as Verizon (my provider) and, at the end of the day, they are telling me that it has to be a hardware problem and that I need to go straight to Google to get the phone fixed. Dealing with Google has been a pure nightmare! I spent over an hour on the phone with them and they ran all sorts of tests and then they had me return the phone with the promise of a new, NOT refurbished phone. SO – I had to send the phone in first and THEN they will send me a phone so I’m out of a phone for over a week! GRRR! I just go an email stating that I will get a REFURBISHED phone sometime NEXT WEEK! Trying to get a hold of Google support is another issue! You can’t get a number or name to call since the page just flips back and forth to the same page. Then, I tried to do an online chat and that was EXHAUSTING! After being online, for over an hour, and dealing with 3 different people, I finally figured out that they just keep giving you the run around until you just give up! Their conversations were totally ridiculous and it was clear that they weren’t reading my chats as well as they were not going to be able to help me out.

that may problem also when it update not working the headphone jack

Ahmed

Salaam to all.. I Brought this phone about 1 month ago.. after 1 weak this phones Mic WORKS stop... And now I'm using headphones for calls... And when i download some apk apps form my pc then my phones stuck and reboot when open photos drive ... I'm facing These problems with this Costly Phone

google pixel xl is great and awsome camera i played heavy games i had no issues this phone

John

I have had this phone for about 15 months. It started with Android 7, and I recently got 9. I haven't had any issues from the phone. I don't notice it heating up a lot, but I do not typically use those fast chargers. I plug my phone in at night, and unplug in the morning. That is usually enough of a charge to easily get me through the day. I don't care as much for 9 as I did 8.1, but I'll get used to it. I haven't noticed any slowing down of the phone, even after two major OS upgrades. Previous androids (motorola, htc, etc) I was lucky to get one OS update, and might get the patches every 6-9 months or so. But with my Pixel I get the OS upgrades the day they are released, and any security patches typically arrive on the 5th of the month. Plus not having bloatware is reason enough for me to stick with Google phones for the foreseeable future.

DealBreaker

I just updated mine to 9.0 nothing wrong until now ...I had a pixel (small version) a month ago...came with 8.0 and wanted update to 8.1 ...I returned it...I was getting the same problems as you described you have on pie.

Yes, I used both phones and of course XL is better than s7 edge in my opinion. But, it depends upon your preference what you like. For me I prefer XL over s7 edge.

paul lam

this is such a good phone when u off to diving and alaska.. very much recommended.. it will warm you hot enough.. don't trust me? get 1 pigcel and open instagram, facebook and twitter.. 10mins only.. then your cake will be well baked :) and if u want to boom your ex, open some more few apps for half an hour then your pigcel now is a hand bomb :) i don't mind bout spending money.. i am rich.. but i need a phone not a hot square bricks on my hands

U tell me that s7 edge work better than Google xl

David09

Guys, it depends on your phone but my Pixel XL runs very smoothly even after Android P update. Comparing with Samsung phones released in the same year, performance wise, my Pixel XL outperforms S7 edge which I used last year. Appearance wise, Samsung phones may look more stylish. Agreed with some opinions here, you can experience with clean Android no bloatware.

Anyone got the 32gb version? Do you quickly run out of storage?

Anonymous

I've had this phone for over a year now, and it works like a champ. Never had any of the issues some people mention in the comments. 2 years after it's release and it's still a very reliable phone with great battery life. I'm sold on Google phone. It will give you a clean Android experience. I've had Samsung phones (Note 2 & 4) in the past, but both of them started lagging within a year, not to mention all the useless bloatware.

AnonD-727530

Who's dumb and dumber, better choose another smartphone that is better than Samsung and Google Pixel. Outside there must be something extraordinary. Once again there is no perfect smartphone.

McSnuffer

If you don't like this phone...you're dumb. Go ahead and drop that money for Samsung S/Note Series phones that are not only filled with bloatware (seriously, who uses Samsung apps other than smartswitch anyway?), but will also kill your wallet up front and for any subsequent repairs. Or, go with LG, who has unabashedly admitted to having known problems with the logic board that bricks your phone. OR, go with the all-so-sexy iPhone which is known for being problem-free and oh-so innovative. Google makes Android- period. Pound-for-pound, with the unlimited google storage, first to get android updates, amazing camera, and competitive price and repair cost- this line of phones is the best out there. If you are having problems with your phone (and I know you will only comment to this part) you probably don't take care of your things properly! Or, you have a million apps running all the time, or you have some BS like an AV or "Booster" app installed and/or a crap-ton of garbage apps loaded with ads or any other number of things done improperly that would otherwise kill any other phone. Pixels are all I'll buy from now on!

Krithika

Google pixel XL _ The waste product I have ever used. It’s just been 7 months since I have purchased google already motherboard issue , microphone issue , and phone is getting heated too much. Now from customer care service they are not ready to replace the mobile. Never ever think to get this mobile.

gentil024

on social media usage which is better in battery S8 or this thanks.

rapotan

If you like to tweak your camera settings for the best results, go for huawei. but if you like to let the phone do all the job for you, pixel is the choice.

Aamir Khan Malik

I was also confused in these two beasts but finally i go for Pixel XL 128 GB Variant. because of smother performance no lacks good battery timing and also a fantastic camera i am now happy with this. i will recommend you, but if you are a keen about photography you should go with P10 plus.

kzxkzinn

Should i buy google pixel xl or huawei p10 plus? Give me your opinion.

Kaytee

Bought the google pixel XL in July of 2017, I am on now my 4th warranty phone! First phone ringer stopped working even after factory restart, then the battery went out and wouldn't charge, Sent me a new one, Then on that one the ringer still would only half the time work had to restart phone at least 2x a day. Got replacement when the microphone went out a month later and no one could hear me when they called, Got another warranty phone this one is WORSE then the other two this one NEVER rings in volume just vibrates (yes the ringer is up fully) called verizon today and guess what there sending me yet another phone so it will be my 4th replacement phone in 11 months! This phone cost me $1,000 and it is a piece of work let me tell you! I love the phone and the "idea" of the phone if it actually worked! It barely stays connected to my google home, It's just a big ol mess! Half the time when I say Ok Google it doesn't work and says it doesn't recognize my voice. Then other times I wont even say Ok google or mention google and my phone starts talking to me as I am in the middle of a conversation at my dinner table. Very disappointed google very disappointed ! Get the bugs fixed get a new software and do it quick! Because this will be the very LAST replacement phone I call in, after this I WILL FOREVER STAY AWAY FROM ALL GOOGLE PRODUCTS AND I WILL SWITCH FROM VERIZON

Basically I like this phone. Recently I have been having rebooting issues. Verizon sent me a refurbished phone and it too had the same problem. After reading online one person uninstalled the Amazon app and had some success. As a result of this information, I uninstalled all Amazon apps from my phone and it has not rebooted in several hours either in safe mode or normal mode. I hope this information helps all those people who are having this issue with their phone.

Marcus

Goggle Pixel XL... brilliant... clever phone that is very capable... but unfortunately, Google does not know how to support their equipment with good product support... so don't buy this unless you are completely confident in your own ability to manage any issues that arise.... Google wont help you.... camera stopped working and no ringtone after OTA update on phone software in March... very disappointed with support for 3 months ongoing now....

This phone is sooooo frustrating., The swipe to answer takes so many attempts you miss your call and have to ring back. Often in messanger you can only see one line of text and so it's hard to review what you write.b I hope pixel 2 is better than this because at this point this phone sucks in reliability. And the only way I'd get another one is if they give it to me.

Mata

I agree. Google Pixel XL is one of the best phones. I am totally happy with mine.

David09

I don't understand why so many people are complaining about this phone. It's really an excellent phone to me. One thing that I am not so satisfied with this phone is built material as the phone can get scratched easily comparing to my s7 edge.

David09

You can't go wrong with Pixel XL.

David09

I have been using Pixel XL about two weeks, it's superb. My short review of Pixel XL: -Very fast including connections (wifi and bluetooth) -Good screen -Upgrade to Android 8.1 -Good camera in bright lights, a bit noisy photo in low light conditions -Decent battery life It outperforms my previous s7 edge.

I have only had my phone sense April and have nothing but trouble with it and now im in Cali with family only to find out that my phone will one stay on wyfi in a 4g area and where im at isn't so no wyfi for me no maps to navigate o and when I use my Bluetooth to be hands free my sound doesn't work till I do a reboot on it when I tryed to get a new phone im told no or I can have a new phone the same one im now having trouble with I wish I had not bought this phone and I really hate tech support from Google for calling me a lier about the wyfi this phone sucks

PaulaG

I personally think the phone (and pad)sucks. It loses WiFi connection at home an average of 6 times a day, very difficult if not impossible to edit pics. I can't wait to pay off the phone and go back to the Samsung Galaxy. Can't believe I was talked into this phone.

AnonD-724654

Ummm...Ok I get that their customer service is great...which is saying a lot since not many are, but the fact you had to return your phone a few times doesn't reassure me about the Google products.

AnonD-718603

Okay so my opinion on the pixel xl . It wouldn't connect to my car properly or my Hum . The screen goes black during any usage , the battery wont stay charged and when I went to do a trade in for something that would work for me . Nobody would trade this phone , Sad Sad day . I definitely will not recommend this phone to anyone . I paid a lot of money for a phone that now as of today is in the trunk of my car .

Mata

More than one year after the launch, Google Pixel XL is still an excellent phone. I have been using Android Oreo without problems; the battery can last easily 2 days on light usage. ;)

Never go to a dealer. You can easily do it yourself by flashing the factory images through ADB. You may not even need to factory reset it. Go to XDA forums, best info for phones

AnonD-713709

Only pixel not xl

AnonD-713709

Google Pixel has a sony 12.3 mega pixel its rated highest in camera. It has an extra gig of ram and excellent ram management. No slow downs with this device. I love the rear mounted finger print scanner. The speakers are very soft i have to put the volume at 2/3 to hear it. Google assistant is 10/10 better than siri. I love google integration with the phone. If i had to recommend a phone either this or 1 plus 3t or 5

AnonD-712920

I abhore my Pixel phone...the dealer wants to reset it from scratch..might take them on it...battery life is terrible...pressing symbols can mean absolutely nothing..it calls people at 3am while in the charger...completely unresponsive at times...much too slippery to hold onto...I use the waterproof case frequently but that limits the typing area...I've got very little to say about the original Pixel other than I can't wait until the program expires in 16 months..I had good success with Motorola units and will go back...also the Pixel is WAY overpriced.

Personally ive been with apple for a long time and i think the pixel is better. Fast charging, better screen resolution, Etc. Plus its android, you can customize everything about the OS.

sorry i finaly found out by doing a fastboot it show unit is unlocked ! now i read in my research you can relock the bootloader but again i was advise not to do such thing because it might bootloop the cp ! anyway best advise is to ignore the warning anywy the phone reboot normally after less than 5 seconds because it goes into recovery to do so. if you have any others suggestions i will really appreciate ! thank you so much.

if u don`t know how to verify if your bootloder is locked how in the name of jesus christ u know that your is locked? :))) that doesn`t make any sense...activate developer mode and in there u will see if is locked or unlocked , i can assure you that yours is unlocked!

I've had all the nexus phones previously and the pixel XL is the best phone I've ever had. Fast, smooth, great battery life, great camera. Google are very helpful if contacted with an issue. All in all - fantastic phone, pricey but worth the extra.

In the camera section of the specs it says - EIS (gyro) which is contradictory. OIS uses gyro whereas EIS doesn't

I have had no issues with my Google Pixel XL. The best phone I have ever owned without a shadow of a doubt! Charging is brilliant, the camera is fantastic, the software is so smooth and has almost no lag. And I left the house with 70% charge this morning and still have more than 40% left! That is with a long period of use as I use it for work also.

AnonD-705591

I don't like it for a couple of reasons. It seems more difficult to type on. It's not as responsive and snappy as an iPhone. There are no internal settings to stop the volume control from adjusting the ringer so that I can't hear my calls coming in. That really pisses me off. I have had 3 Android phones since the iPhone and I miss it. It never lagged and was always easy to use. Except a Siri used to drive me around in circles and navigation and that really pissed me off haha.

You must have been calling Samsung for Google support. Every interaction I've had with Google has been outstanding. See my other posts on the topic. They don't hesitate to replace the phone if it can't be sorted out in short order.

milworker

You'll want to get a Speck case, or something grippy. The phone is very slick. It wants to jump out of your hand. Why can't these manufacturers make phones less slick... The Speck case works great and my Nexus 6P case protected that phone despite several drops. I expect the Pixel XL case to do the same.

milworker

The 6P had its issues, but Google customer service was beyond outstanding. I have no complaints at all with how they treat me as a customer. When the camera glass cracked, they sent a new phone, no questions asked. Software update caused an unrecoverable bricking, new phone in two days. Battery not charging? Free upgrade to Pixel XL. Maybe I get better service because I also pay for 2TB of storage, but they are always pleasant and cal me within a couple of minutes of requesting support. I also find it's a lot easier to get help from people when you don't treat them like they caused the problem. All of these support people are there to help. They didn't make the device, they didn't cause the problem, they are just there to try to fix it. Most are very nice, humble people who want to solve your issue(s). Is it annoying that the device has failed to live up to our expectations? Sure. Can you change the fact that the device in your hands has decided to not work as expected? Not without help. Are people you don't know more or less likely to help a person who is berating them for something they had no control over? In the case of Google support, I think they'll do their level best, even if you're a jerk to them.

After the disastrous two years I've had with the Nexus 6p I'd never buy a Google phone again. They have completely ignored their customers and to make it worse, the Oreo update has killed the battery and caused the phone to crash.

Anonymous

I fully agree with this. Google should concentrate on software rather than hardware. Google pixel XL is example of abject failure of Google. Hanging frequently, no good ringtone no good camera no good back button. Very highly priced. No shop to fix the problem only online support available and that also very worst. During warranty period replacement is with refurbished model which may be older than your phone. So please do not buy Google phone

AnonD-703316

Not necessarily, I had a Pixel XL since October last year and on my second one now. The first started of with loss of headphone sound, then all sound, then charging port before it died in it's sleep! Now this Pixel XL is having problems with the playstore and requires multiple restarts to get the playstore to finish updates! Definitely upgrading back to a Samsung!

AnonD-702769

It clearly says "UHD 4K" in back camera video resolution, in camera settings...

I think you bought a chinese knock-off. The phone is very fast, there is absolutely no buffering when loading photos, and the battery goes for about 20 hours when using facebook, instagram, browsing, etc.

Can you at least say what's wrong instead of bashing the pixel ? I have one, and I am REALLY enjoying it ! And for the battery, if you are the kind of guy who sees "200 hours", and thinks that it will actually last 200 hours, you're totally lost.

Pixel 128gb xl is sh

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE OR THE NEW ONE THATS COMING OUT SOON. Youd think since google provides the platform for android devices that theyd have a better or atleast similar software quality but nooo. Its not just about the phone not having an ip68 rating for the price point that should give you that feature, its not just about shit hardware, its also about their software. Can you believe that. Cant even open a pdf file talked to their support for an hour to no avail. This shouldnt be classified as a smart phone, it should be called a DUMB PHONE. I wish i could have it refunded would rather get a samsung phone even an older version like an s7/s6 would still be better than this pretentious phone hyped up by google.

Bad to know it, I was thinking about buying one of them and now after your review am going to decide on another one. It's strange that despite that Corning gorilla glass 4 they come with both were broken, poor materils quality imo.

Jeff

I bought two of these. My wife's display cracked after only one week. She did not drop it and it was in a rubberized case. Google refused to fix or replace it because they stated "it was not damage covered under the warranty". Now, less than six months after buying them, my screen had cracked. Honestly, I did drop mine but only from about a foot high onto a carpeted floor. Poor quality and terrible customer service if you ask me.

Love it. Use camera for work slow mo video. voice recognition amazing with australian accent. everything so well integrated and does everything. like apple but can easily make adjustments. had one replaced after 5 months, no questions asked. retailer told me only google do that, other makes, send it away to be repaired and you wait... mic stopped working well.

There are substance to people's opinion of the phone but I wouldn't take it as most people's experience. Every phone brand has their share of people who have issues.

AnonD-687499

Ummmm!! Think you misread the question..I basically asked if the bad reviews had any substance, no one wants a phone if it's known to have issues. So your very wrong to suggest I have buyers regret

Justsaying

That's what we call ( buyer's remorse ) , forget what others are saying , that's just their opinion , f you don't experience any issues , keep it Unless you are throwing money to the wind , keep moving n doing it Can you imagine , if everyone changed phones just because some cons posted on line The sales on every brand and model would be through the roof

AnonD-689518

If you having no problems and you satisfied with the phone then keep it unless the s8 is what you really want. I personally wouldn't change a phone solely on online comments I read. If that's the case you'll be constantly changing phones.

Hi everyone Ive just taken a contract for a Pixel xl, I'm a week and have no problems at all however I'm looking at the reviews and think i should change it for a s8 as people seem to be having a lot of problems with no help from google. or do i keep it??

AnonD-686546

I am very excited to upgrade to Google Pixel XL. I have been using Samsung Note 4 and 5 till now. For the first 15 days great experience, however just after my 15 days return policy expired I started facing the following issues. 1. Bluetooth seems to disconnects from my car when a call ends. I cannot receive any calls or make calls till the time I don't restart the phone and re pair phone with my car Bluetooth. 2. I was advised to reset the phone. I ensured that all of my data, SMS and calling history is backed up from the phone. The phone indicated that these are backed up. Upon resetting I was told by Google CSR that it does indicate on the phone that it's backing up calling history and SMS, however it does not. I lost all my calling history and SMS. 3. Wifi does not turn on automatically when I arrive at home, I need to restart the phone or put in the password every time. You may be looking up HD videos and realise that all your mobile data is used up on a weekend. 4. the screen is reddish and I have been informed by the Google support that this is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed with software update. I did buy an extended warranty from the retailer, however, all replacements are refurbished phones, essentially buying refurbished phone for the price of New Google Pixel XL.

Brian

Completely agree Google support blames everyone. I had to prove to them it was their issue and then they said.... Oh I don't know what to do then. REALLY THANKS!

Brian

I have had this phone for over 8 months and I can't wait to get rid of it. Wifi calling shuts off randomly. When it is on it still breaks up when making phone calls. I live where there no service so wifi calling is important. Can't access visual voicemail while at home. Contacted Google and after 8 months of arguing with them they said if I mail them my phone they will send a replacement. I told them if they pay for that weeks worth of service that I won't have my phone I would do that. They refused. Really hopeful for this phone and it has been a slap in the face the while time I owned it. Never will buy a Google phone again.

Good phone. Issues with overheating with Daydream viewer are resolved by using an aluminum heat sink. I seem to have some issues with losing 4G on occasion, a better antennae is in order for the newer version. Love the phone otherwise.

I've had my Pixel XL for 8 months and I've had absolutely ZERO problems with it. I've been using high end Android phones for years. This is the best performing phone I've ever had. I highly recommend it.

I have purchased Google pixel XL (128GB) in Dec 2016, initially it was good...but later observed few things - 1. Phone started heating up 2. Audio quality degraded 3. Project fi slowed down the internet speed instead of increasing it and provide better experience. 4. Lot of noise while on call or important meetings 5. Google support will only offer refurbished phone though 1 year limited warrenty also talks about refund. I would say it's not worth $1000 and is waste of money. If you cross initial 14 days then brace for refurbished phone from Google for which you would be at their mercy.

You people need to get off the dope your on and realize its their first phone, they will add and improve on things.

Those who think that google pixel series can kick samsung just go and drown on a spoon of water... It can never match the style and battery that samsung possess. and talking about screen quality and processor it was and can never come near it.

ithehappy

Pixel will kick any Samsung's arse, simple as that. No need for saying all those in details. Simple things are simple and they should remain so. The consistency of framerates will be in any Samsung's dream, ROFL. As a Samsung user only for most time previously, I find it hilariously that I bothered to use those lagfest devices for so long. Still the best phone available on the market, along with U11. And the most quiet comment section, love that honestly. Never did like attention and all those nonsense.

They probably meant that it can record 4k video. On release, it had the highest rated camera of any phone. I think this is going to be surpassed by the S8. It also has, literally, the "fast charging" feature that requires the special power supply.

JCSF

I have had this phone for 5 months; now it is dead. 1) Be aware that this phone is not water proof, not even water resistant. Get soaked when caught in heavy rain and your phone dies. And water damage invalidates the warranty. 2) This device has no expansion SD card; so you are limited to the in-phone memory. 3) You can get 32G (which is half of other modern high-end phones) or 128G (which is too expensive.) 4) This is a 4-core machine (4x2.2GHz) versus others which are 8-core (4x2.35GHz & 4x1.9 GHz). Less machine for more money. 5) No wireless charging So think about getting this phone. It is sub-par on many levels.

AnonD-569198

That big ugly useless chin, that goes along with the big ugly body, reminds me of a television produced in the year 1955. Does the Pixel XL run on vacuum tubes? Do you have lug around a portable generator to power it?

Aditya

Hi this is Aditya, Google Pixel launched on 4th October 2016, And today also it remains my personal favourite. I want to present my views at first. Before choosing a phone first decide ur needs. If u want fastest processor Go for an iPhone 7. It has fastest processor any phone has ever had If u want good display Go for an Samsung's Galaxy S8. My needs were: Best camera Top class processor (though not best) Clean ui Super AMOLED Display 4k resolution Great AI (GOOGLE ASSISTANT) Latest android Fast updates Fast charging Fingerprint sensor which is back mounted Etc. My these needs get full filled by Google Pixel Iphone doesnt have Amoled display Android 4k resolution Good AI Fast Charging Back mounted Fingerprint sensor Samsung doesnt have Clean ui Great camera (though it is good) Top notch processor(it lags behind in antutu benchmark) Less bloatware Solidness( it is fragile) Repairabily capabilities (it ranks 30) Etc

Khan

Remember my friend! Chinese phones are now on par rather better. They are ruling the world economy. Now they make class leading products depending upon price. Samsung has fallen into a ditch by going edge. People want practical phones. So it's either iphone or Huawei in future. Its only a matter of time.

AnonD-666591

Looks good but doesn't work good. Lots of problems. First, it overheats. Next, the assistant starts operating without any actions on my part. Next, apps open and can start operating without my starting them. EG, the torch comes on for no reason. Brightness will dim to zero without any reason. The phone is not easy to answer and it is easy to make mistakes in trying to swipe up or press the answer button - depending on which way it decides it wants to be answered - and you can miss the call. The phone likes to make pocket calls - just touching the phone in your pocket can cause a call. Typing in apps can encounter annoying delays. Possibly not Google's fault but Contacts cant be edited. The main thing that got me to take the chance on Google's first high end phone was the expectation that Google would continue to improve it and any glitches would be quickly addressed. I have been using it for five months and am not impressed with the way it works. As soon as Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is out, I am going to switch.

AnonD-1667

Its a bummer that the didnt include optical stabilization but they did a good job with the digital stabilization, for me the worst part would be that the phone is not water resistant and the absence of stereo speakers especially at that price point.

One recurring problem, on all 4 Pixel XL phones. Google assistant keeps talking without any prompt at all, even if the room is completely silent, with no television on, or even anyone in the room. April 6th / 2017 i received a fix from Google, after installing the fix, there's no difference, if anything, it "may" be worse, (i doubt that the fix made it worse) I only say that because, before I went out today, April 8th, she spoke out once, after i returned, she spoke out 3 times, in 5 minutes, that's a first. Does anyone else have a problem with the Google Pixel XL assistant, speaking out without​ any prompt ?

Aesthetics not much to look at. Top notch software and hardware however. Overpriced like iphone. Awaiting the LG G6 as upgrade to my current stellar G3. If not to my liking then it's a choice between the other 2 flagships carried by my provider, iphone 7 plus and pixel xl. As Apple doesn't hold much of an appeal to over android me it will most likely be pixel xl. Minimalistic on the outside but solid on the inside.

Is it a good phone or not?

Aditya

The great phone but could be better Competition of 2 kings is now between 3 galaxy s7 iPhone 7 And Pixel iPhone is only about processing, at this point of time also they us LCD displays.battery is just not enough, it doesnt have fast charging Ai is just okay and camera may be good at there end but all gets bad due to LCD fhd display. Os okay at user experience but no root, apps from unknown resources, and apple store is just not easy at pocket Samsung is all about illogical thinking. They god knows why keep camera bumping out. It can get easily scratched if we move it around a table (camera facing down) why do u need to make so small speakers. Only focusing in display and user experience they have not got processing. What will u do of better looks if it wastes one second on just loading. Os updates not more than for 2 years. Why? Like Google did by giving nougat to nexus 6. Why cant they do give the latest android that phone can run . And repairs is to be mentioned s7 was given repairability rating of 3/10. And removable battery which either blasts off or needs to be replaced after year, increasing Samsung's profit Google Pixel is a full course.It has great camera (highest dxomark rating), great processor( antutu 10th benchmark rating) display(Super AMOLED display) battery(fast charging 3.0 and better power managment) AI(THE BEST Google assistant) and last but not the least the only thing google doesnt have is bloatware

AnonD-618822

Wife and I originally bought Note 7s. After the swap outs we bought home tested S7 Edges. No dice.... The Notes were simply a better phone but had their quirks as do all phones. My thinking was I would never find a phone to equal the Notes, and that was true of the Edges. Wife eventually got a Pixel XL and I a V20. We traded use of the phones to compare, with the intent of possibly trading in the one we didn't like as well. Conclusion is: We both liked both phones, though I preferred the V20 even better than the Notes. (Use the right stylus on the V20, and it works just about as well as a Note.) Wife at this point rated both dead even. She didn't have a preference, but liked both better than the Notes. I really liked the Pixel XL, but in terms of everyday use the V20 won out. None of the "cons" listed by the writers are actually notable to us. However personally, the one thing I didn't like on the V20 was the back side, on/off button with fingerprint reader. Also the Google VR does not work on the V20 as once stated, early on, that it would. Wife decided to keep the Pixel for herself and I kept the V20. We were both wore out from the hassles of trading so many phones. In reading the review on the Pixel XL here, the writers got at least 1 thing wrong. The Pixel XL is in NO WAY louder with its' external speaker than the V20. Nowhere close. Nor is it close in speaker quality when connected to decent speakers. We know this for fact as we have compared both phones. Wife agrees though, the speaker phone loudness didn't matter to her. She was more concerned and impressed with the connected speakers. Mike

While I appreciate the review of the Google Pixel XL, I find it of no value having been on a waiting list for two months and no availability date (per a Google Support Engineer).

Not so... Verizon was just running a special on them $20/month = $480 for an XL. I know for a fact since I bought one, trading up from my old tired Note 4..... got $100 for it making my new XL $380. Hate all you want, no one is forcing you to buy any thing, in the end it's just a damn phone kids.

Because if slower SD cards are used it would slow up the process of the phone & there would be hickup in performance. To avoid this situation flagship only depend on their very high speed internal storage. Also even you throw up the fastest Sd card available , it would be lesser than 1/10 th of speed compared to the internal storage that flagship use.

Been using the phone for last six hours or so, just rooted, the performance of the device is "fantastic". I really never thought that Android could be this fluid. There are still some jitters/frame drops when I rotate the phone in Google Maps, but that's forgivable. Because the smoothness overall is just a pleasure to use. The camera is excellent as well. Would definitely like to tweak manual settings if that were given but in future I am sure. By default with HDR Auto or On, the quality is fantastic.

Let me repeat some basic facts for you. The Google Pixel XL phone lacks the following: Reasonable Price SD Card Removable battery Navigation keys on bezel Lower Weight Any other screen size Waterproofing Smaller bezels Wireless charging Stereo speakers Less thickness It's a mid-ranger and should be priced accordingly. In fact, I'd buy an HTC 10 any day over the Pixel XL. It's a much better value as it is priced, when discounted, according to its feature set. But hey, don't let the Google name and Google's marketing cadets get in the way of facts.

I own Pixel XL hence i can confirm that you cannot find any phone out there who can provide you better android experience than this one. S7 edge camera has hazel pixels when zoomed but pixel does not (compared with my friends phone) It is expensive but feels good (premium) the moment you hold it in your hands.

AnonD-418448

After doing extreme research i bought Google Pixel XL. It does not have looks and is expensive however the experience is worth every penny. It's flawless without any lag and you get updates the day they are released from google. No word can describe how happy i am with it's camera which desreves to be the best camera in smartphones. It highlight lights as of naked eye (better than eye in some cases) where apple, samsung galaxy s7 edge fails. I have 32 GN varianet and i do not regret buying such a small storage as all the images are uploaded in cloud and 1 button in photos app removes the images/videos already uploaded. Clarity exceed my expectations from the time i bought it. Applications runs smooth and there is no heating problem as stated in reviews by some users (it could be a manufacturing defect which happens in Apple, Samsung products as well) It looks big but it is handy and fits my small hands perfectly. Scren has 2K resolution hence video's looks clear and i have downloaded 2K videos from youtube to flaunt within my friend zones who were opposed to spend on this beast. Price and looks are the areas where google has to work and act as a roadblock however if you notice reviews from all major tech experts you will realise that everyone is going ga-ga about it and it exceeds their expectations as well (excluding looks + price). Best Android experience, best camera in smartphones and unlimited cloud storage increases smartphone experience and did i miss the resolution which outshines iPhone 7 Plus as well (i am die hard apple fan and Nexus 5 was my first android experience) still i chose Google cuz the beast is not released with the beauty from the looks. Buy google Pixel if you want to have the best experience and freedom from Android else buy iPhone 7 Plus if you can cough up the same amount for looks and less freedom+features than Pixel.

I may be nitpicking, but the as of December 13, 2016 at 7:45 AM EST the Galaxy S7 Edge is on the list at #9. If I'm not mistaken the Apple iPhone 7 was on the list not long ago. The statistic hints that Google, with all their marketing $$$ and advertising, can't seem to push into the market like other expensive phone manufacturers. In my opinion their phones are overpriced, ugly and functionally lacking. They're worth approximately half of what they're asking.

Not sure about that LG comment by previous user. G4 onwards all suffer from boot loop as I've just found out. Almost impossible to get a flagship that has a SD Card, removable battery and doesn't catch fire or fail these days. Back to the future for a Galaxy S5 or Note 4? So much for technological advancements!

Don't think there is no phone can beat pixel,pixel xl and iphone 7,the LG V20 and LG G5.in my opinion LG is always better in cameras.if camera is your problem it has more wider cameras.and if software is your problem lg v20 is also running 7.0.and it also gives expansion fecilities and user removable battery,the only thing which it does not have is google AI.but don't worry lg gives all the things you need and it holds lesser price tag so you dont need empty your bank.and u know one thing lg v20 is the phone which would have been the first nougat powerd phone in India,it failed because the shipment was very late.i suggest you lg v20 is a very good smartphone.

Guys please don't waste your money on this mobile which is good for nothing except the brand name G. Think logically and reviews of various tests like drop test, scratch test, liquid etc and all. There is no proper service centre for this Brand and only thing which you get is stock Android and early updates that's it. In this case one can choose moto which is reliable and most successful in the market. There are plenty of options available in the market like Samsung, htc, LG, Sony, moto, etc which are of not only good build quality but after sales service and one can expect a good resale after using it for a desired period.

AnonD-594788

I wish GSMarena would create a metric for phones with soft buttons called "Effective Screen size" to take into effect the amount of screen space lost by the buttons. I have never owned a phone with soft buttons so would be interested to know if you typically lose 0.2", 0.5", or some other amount of screen real estate by having soft buttons.

AnonD-594788

I am a dummy. After a minute of googling I found that you lose an average of around 0.36" of screen real estate with soft buttons. In other words, this is comparable to a 5.1" screen, which is too small for me since I am used to true 5.5" screens on my last three phones. And given how large the Pixel XL is, pretty pitiful that it's a 5.1" screen. They should have put hardware buttons on that giant bezel.

What is with android phone manufacturers not wanting to put sd card support on their devices? I dont expect apple to put one on their phones because they're stupid really, but with android, you should not be limited to a fixed storage. Whats the point of utilizing the freedom android offers when you're bound by STORAGE?

Expensive you say? So is the latest iphone, and the other top tier android phones. The main problem with the pricing of this phone is that it will hardly depreciate as time progresses, unlike samsung phones which become affordable after 8 months (off contract). The nexus 6p still sells for roughly the same price at the time it was launched in my country.

You can recover your data without an SD card we do it all the time in the shop. It is very tricky with android though depending on the carrier and the lock.

I know all of these phones are of different categories but I'm unable to make a decision yet. I wanted to get a Note 7 but my idea of buying it exploded. Please help me in making decision in buying a new phone. Money is not an issue but I don't want to waste money. I want to get the maximum bang for the buck.

Google Pixel and Pixel XL Phones have a problem in pairing and connecting to Cars using the Bluetooth. There are numerous complains at the product form page of Google So far Google has not addressed the complaint and have assured the buyers of any date by which they will fix the problem. Even though this may sound to be a small problem, in reality, Bluetooth is used a lot in cars as people need to take calls while driving. Google has just ignored the early adaptors and is not providing any customer support at all. In fact, now they know the problem but they still don't let the people who want to buy the phone know about the problem. This is unfair as after buying the phone the user will be stuck with a lemon. In terms of numbers, the problem is around 3 to 4 weeks old. If you consider the average usage of a phone as 2 years, many of the users have already used the phone for 3% of the life of the phone without being able to use an important functionality. My opinion is that everyone should stay away from the phone until the problem is fixed and I think something must be done to escalate Google's response to the various consumer forums to take them to task for not providing service and from hiding faults from customers.

I own a pixel Xl, The Pixel Xl is a fast device with a nice display and an excellent camera, it looks and feels like a premium phone and the battery life seems reasonable too. Not everything is perfect about the Pixel. The lack of front facing speakers leaves you with a single mono(!) speaker on the bottom of the device, which does not make for particularly good music listening. People complain about the lack of an sd card slot but imo SD cards are very unreliable and have corrupted devices for me before. 128gb feels like ample storage when you consider that your phone comes with unlimited photo and video storage in the cloud too.

Vibrate on call connect is not there with pixel xl 2. There are no hardware navigation keys. 3. Battery percentage bar. 4. Dark screen option to save battery. One plus 3 has got an option to change screen color to black which it save battery a lot which is not available with pixel xl 5. Vibrate on touch is not getting disabled in pixel xl. While typing vibration is not getting off. 6. I am used to keep the back screen keys option on right hand side but there is no option for swaping the keys position in pixel xl. Please guide me if i am wrong.

just had the pixel xl 128gb for a few days now and must say its a brilliant device . This is what i've been waiting for on an android device , switch from an iphone 6s plus . The speed on the device is so fast and responsive , fastest android device ever . There isnt much to brag about in term of feature wise ( it doesn't cook your dinner for u ) , but everything on board just work so perfectly . Camera is definitely on top of the best i have seen , the speed is so fast without any lag or slowness ( not even a hitch) , screen are way better then iphone's , battery is great , fingerprint sensor are super fast with 100% accuracy . i must say its not a device that compete in features , but for everything in term of daily usage like perfect camera , battery , screen , speed , and reliability of stock android , its a highly recommend . For those that are considering, go for it and you'll luv it .

What type of case did you have it in? I've dropped a Note 5 in a Otterbox Commuter from 15 ft with no damage. My previous phone was in a Otterbox defender and it was run over by a prius... NO DAMAGE! A PRIUS IS WORSE THAN A 1/2 TON TRUCK. high weight, skinny tires. A large truck running over a phone in a commercial is a gimic, the much higher sidewalls, lower pressure of tires that are not made for high MPG, a Prius puts down more pounds per square inch than a F-150 or any 1/2 ton truck with oversized tires.

I bought the pixel xl expecting it to be very durable since i do a lot of work on roofs. this one time though the phone slid out of my pocket the device fell off the roof of my house by accident and it fell around a 3 metre fall onto grass. CCTV footage shows the phone landed on its back but when i retrieved the phone the screen was absolutely destroyed and the phone would not power on.

Oneplus has 820 and 1080p. so does iPhone 7 plus and pixel also you can check Off-screen benchmarks.

My reason not buying pixel campare to iphone 7plus 1) Only one speaker 2) no Optical image stabilization for camera 3) IP rating campare to iphone 7plus, Pixel and Pixel XL hold IP53 rating and can't be regarded as the waterproof 4) no 256 gb option 5) android phone with no sd card support no wireless charging than s7 edge is better option 6) too much price for an android phone 7) Design not that great looking 8) Speed n benchmark apple wins

Pixel's camera beating iphone 7's camera everywhere, iphone fan boys ain't able to digest this at all. I've watched almost 50 reviews on youtube regarding camera comparison of pixel & iphone but almost every review was in pixel's favor in camera department. DON'T TRUST MY OPINION GO & CHECK IT OUT. I GUESS GOOGLE DIDN'T BUY EVERYONE AS IPHONE FAN BOYS CLAIM.

At this price i ill choose iphone 7 plus Looks great Ios simplicity 256gb option Good resale value Faster I ill never spend this much money for an android phone

The pixel XI and the pixel are packed with snadragon 821 chipset wich supposed to be clocked at 2*2.35 kryo & 2*2.0 kryo but both pixel phones are clocked at 2*2.15 kryo & 2*1.6 Kryo which is exactly the same as SD820 on Lg G5 and the s7

Bought the Pixel XL recently, after much debate. I love it. Picture quality is superb. I have only experimented with night time shots so far. According to experts, the camera in day shots outperforms any phone. Night time photos, lg v20 can keep up.

20MP is better than 12 on a smartphone? You got your brain marketwashed! The size of each pixel is 2 times smaller to pack two times more of them on the same size! More does not equal better! Actually 12MP is the best what you can get for this size of CCD. . But according to your logics F=2.0 is worse than F=2.8., because 2.8 is bigger?

you should stick with your NOKIA 3210. let us buy pixel :)

Just an android user

On the contrary, one of the reasons for which I buy google made (or for google made) phones (like the nexus line) is because I do not like the hardware buttons and I prefer instead the software buttons that are more flexible (could in some situations rotate with the screen, could dynamically add buttons if wanted, like a menu (3 dots) buttons, etc.). But they could have reduced that space below the screen.

AnonD-94783

all that space at the bottom of the phone and they still put home buttons on screen :-(

Oh, the ignorance is strong in this one. You can't test a phone's camera from inside a building, lol. This phone is easily the fastest Android phone around right now, and possibly even faster than the OnePlus 3, the fastest Android phone out. Yes the price is high, there's no OIS (the EIS in this thing is incredible),there's no stereo speakers (which is plain stupid) and it borrows design cues from many other smartphone OEMs, but it is definitely not a slow phone, nor it has a bad camera. You were either looking at a super defective pixel, a different phone, or you're plainly trying to defile the phone.

AnonD-190634

Well maybe your eyes are used to them, but for someone like me they're unusable, not to mention the delays (even the share button is annoying) . if you google it on XDA they have an official news article about note 7 and s7 edge

I can't believe I actually thought this could replace my beloved P9. Google, you've disappointed. Horrible design, ridiculous pricing, underclocked GPU, no microSD card slot, weak water/dust-resistance.

I can say it was the worst smartphone that I was ever seen. Very poor in camera quality and facilities in compare with other brands. Not handy at all. Quiet slow and in total I can say that not worth even try it for only once! Picture quality in all cases disappointed me and sorry to say that but it is not attractive at all. Seems arriving of Google to hardware is a big mistake. Even Google had no success in previous products as well. The only reasonable product was Nexus 7 tablet.

You can put your finger under the phone when it is on a table no need to pick it up

So i think its a practical phone with no gimmicks.surely its overpriced though.i mean seriously who really use dual edge display or say force touch display in our daily life,i do have s7 and 6s and to be honest i dont use both feature that much.if only google could price it lower pixel could be a huge success.

omg

they should have put the fingerprint sensor on the front, so that it would be more accessible than in the back. you don't have to get your phone from a table to unlock it with your fingerprint ID.

Dual sim for poor people? I guess you're one of the rich people, writing from your parent's basement. I however have several sim cards from various countries. In some countries I like to use one sim card in one area and another one in a different location because of differences in signal strength. Another issue is that I travel internationally and receive SMS codes to charge a credit card from a different country on a specific sim card other than the country I'm currently in etc.

Pixel XL has Qhd and amoled on the 5,5 inch screen. Memory card is now for poor people of the 3rd world with 50 mb/s writing speed. Dual sim also is for poor people.

Overview With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 89, pixel, the latest Google smartphone, is the highest-rated smartphone camera we have ever tested. Its image quality scores are impressive across the board, but it is particularly strong in providing a very high level of detail from its 12.3MP camera, with relatively low levels of noise for every tested lighting condition. It also provides accurate exposures with very good contrast and white balance, as well as fast autofocus.

Agree with everyone else ugly, overpriced phone with huge bezels. Looks like cheap plastic on the back.

AnonD-305133

For some yup essential, though recently discovered a OTG cable and a memory stick also works. So it depends how you use your phone, if you only need extra content in specific scenarios maybe this solution works for you. A few other bits... Bezels, yup thin bezels do look good, but for pratical use a bezel can actually be helpful on a touch screen to avoid accidental touch. Camera - I have heard the low light performance being called into question, so will wait for reviews before buying Android Updates - I hear 2 years is Guaranteed, what do we all think will they continue after this? Speed - Disappointing early benchmarks, sounds like they have underclocked the SD821 to SD820 levels, I have heard this gives brilliant battery life. Might be good to have a "Performance Mode" for when it is needed?

IMO the bezel is still to large, if the left-right more closely from edge it will looks more classy, and then up-down too, maybe 67-70% area looks good. Using 2,5D display not necessary, even edge display. And the edge of case too roundly. I dont know, sharpen edge looks more exclusive i think, look at some xperia design they've good design. please take a largest internal capacity if you want to buy this, refer to it missing microSD slot.

Its the software implementation which will differ mostly. LG will run heavily skinned Android version, I personally used the version on G3's, and it was beyond horrible, worse than TouchWiz. So if you are okay with LG's UI then you could go with it. Pixel's main advantage will be its vanilla Android and its smooth performance, over any phone which runs on skinned Android.

Do your research Xiaomi , Asus , ZTE , lenovo and other companies have already released snapdragon 821 a month ago they even have better camera and DACs for sound than pixels and they cost less than half ! This phone is just a measure to copy Apple's methods of discriminating Rich peoples from avg consumers that will only work against a fool with lot of money to throw on garbage . LOL very similar methods like apple telling "we care about users need , thus google assistant " and increase price so that no avg users can buy , " Google daydream for users best experience " which is made of cloth , plastic and 2 glass lens and cost more than google latest chromecast . I am sure in some days google will launch a watch made of paper and price it more than pixel and then change its brand name to igoogle or ifool ..... lol

Google ADP1 was $400 in 2008, that was a huge price at the time. Then the next year Nexus One was $530. The Nexus S stayed the same, at $530. Following that was the Galaxy Nexus at $650 back in 2011. Then there were a couple of years of "cheap" phones, the Nexus 4 and 5, both LG, were $350 and $400 respectively. Then it went back to CRAZY prices with the Nexus 6 at $650/$700 The year after the 6 was a mediocre year with mediocre prices But now back up to premium with premium prices -- $650/$750/$770/$870, which really isnt that far out of line compared to ADP1/NOne/NS/GNex/N6. Maybe next year they'll make a cheaper pixel? Or you could just go buy an apple, they cost all the way up to $970.

Where do you come up with mediocre? These are very obviously the best spec'd phones you can get.

BlackJair

Because a lot of users think of a brand (LG, Motorola, Huawei) when you say Nexus, and like when saying LG most think as a slow phone, they now brand Google Pixel to create a new image.

Herodroid

Lol seems like you never had/owned a google smartphone not ever had a custom aosp rom in your phone. If you had it, you would finally realize why google is the only iphone competitor and why we need google phone against apple. Even nexus 6p puts 2016 flagships in a shame when it comes to performance speed test.

Too costly

ncahoots

Well, with battery life specs like that, its a candidate for serious heat issues, I'm guessing, but I am optimistic. If successful, it will get some traction into the Samsung market share. Its a S4 equivalent with faster processors and higher resolution (I really loved my S4). Viewing the screen in bright sunlight will be less possible due to the absence of the "Super" in the Amoled screen. Camera is adequate, but falls short of the S6 - 16MP.

No SD slot ---> apple and samsung have tried this, so it's not new, 128 internal is enough, plus pixel offer with online storage for photos.. you can buy USB otg No stereo speakers ---> are you listening music to your phone stereo speakers? really? buy earphone or headphone! No water proof ---> it's IP53 which is enough for your daily activities, unless you are going to extreme places No 6 GB ram ---> 4GB is more than enough now No 4000+mah battery ---> give me example of premium phones comes with 4000 mah No DAC ---> of course there's DAC inside, but only few phones got extraordinary DAC like Vivo or LG V10/20 No OIS ---> Dx0mark gives huge score points to this phone But huge price, go buy it, have fun with it people. ---> phones with huge price not just this..

Kibaikasu

The battery is a sore point for me. If Google is competing with Apple with this Pixel line-up, why make the battery non-removable? All that does is limit the life expectancy of the device that much more by tying the life cycle of the phone directly to the battery, so that when the battery starts deteriorating after it exceeds it's charge cycle limit and starts holding less and less charge the only thing you can do is replace the phone. I think I'll stick with LG, from what I can tell the V20 has the same specs with removable battery and a better camera, not to mention the quad-DAC's for better sound.

As boring as the iphone. No dual sim. No sd card. No ir blaster. Chunky body that doesn't translate to marathon battery life. Overkill screen resolution that doesn't serve any purpose other than giving a marginally better VR experience that nobody is going to bother after a few nauseating experiences or after the novelty fades. Google assistant? You only talk to your phone at home or when driving unless you want to look silly in public talking loudly to a phone. For this, get an Amazon echo or Google's copycat version. And the price? Forget it. You can have the same or better specs and features at half the price elsewhere. Try oneplus or xiaomi or oppo or vivo. So what is the target market of this phone? Iphone switchers? Nope. Samsung flagship users? Nope. Nexus owners? Yes, but only a very small percentage as most Nexus owners value price:performance over prestige. In short, this phone is going to flop big time unless it captures if not all, at least most of the features android enthusiasts want in an android phone. High on the list for many android users aside from good camera and video (given) are sd card support, removable or large 4000mAh+ batteries, water resistance, ir blaster, wireless and/or fast charging, dual sim support, slimport or mhl support, option for larger (6.0"-6.8") screen sizes.

You can say whatever you want about EIS,OIS still better and that is why: "Main advantage of OIS is that there is no image degradation as necessary compensations are made before optical signal is fed to the CCD. But the hardware for mechanical motion of lenses buts a strain on your battery backup and also adds to the weight of the device. EIS has become quite popular these days because of they are light and less expensive and with improvement in algorithms used for stabilization image degradation is minimal. But at low resolutions and in poor lighting conditions, you might see significant degradation. With consumer electronic devices which don’t have a very high resolution , like your Smartphone’s or low resolution Camcorders, OIS is more effective technique and also out performs EIS in dimly lit areas."

Google are cute, they think they can sell this for an iPhone's price. At least add OIS and water resistance. or stereo speakers. Super disappointed.

Anonymous

Way too much expensive. Samsung can fix such a price and sell them in the market. But guess what s7 edge is less expensive than that. Now u may argue it has SD821. How much of a difference does it make over SD820? Oneplus3 has SD820 and still is crazy fast. So if google thinks just by having SD821 and not having the best camera,google can sell a phone at $750 or $850.....big mistake.

WHY?! I was Almost excited about this phone.......BUT WHY?!?!?! Why is google so afraid of storage slots? my very first Smart phone (the LG p690b doesn't count) was the nexus 4....which i had for about a year until i switched to the Optimus G (e970) specifically because it had expandable memory (and was LG, which for whatever reason i have always owned LG ever since my silver flip) I passed on the Nexus 5 and grabbed a G3 (which i still use) I just bought a zenfone2 4/64gb (fix n flip unless i like) for $98....was seriously considering a V10 specifically because of A.specs B.Storage C. LG (never buy new as in the case of v10 value deprecation of 70% in a year) I will pass again on your phone google (my G3 has 160gb with 140gb in use)

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be going for the Pixel devices. There is NO reason for the bezel on top and especially on the bottom to be so huge. There are no capacative buttons so why the huge bezel? Visually unappealing and others have already pointed out the other issues I have with this phone. Sorry Google, not buying it.

You can see a lot of advertisements all over the internet in which it's being talked about how much improved phones Google released these years whilst they actually removed stereo speakers. Optical image stabilization still didn't find its way in these phones as didn't a bigger capacity battery whilst the price was definitely increased.

Pretty much all modern AMOLED touch screens are Super AMOLED now, it pretty much goes without saying. That tech's been around since the Galaxy SIII. A flagship phone like this would certainly be Super AMOLED.

I just have to say this u guys say nexus never have sd are u dumm the first version of nexus haloo made by htc did have and sd slot and i hope this one will have one also simce its htc..i like htc always samsung is ok not the best sony is ok apple is a peace of garbage for dum ppl where ever u go u see iphone everywhere like there is no other brand phone have i phone once and wold never buy one again.. lg is a good phone to..but lets stay in pixel topic some ppl say the design is crappy to my opinion its a nice piece of hardware and will buy it any day.. specification is good for nexus line up even thou its called pixel now. Why would u want 6 gb of ram are u guys miximg music or run 100 apps at once because 6 gig wont help u.. this is stock android it doesn't take a lot of ram like stupid samsung or any other phone that use their owm stupid launchers thats why they need more ram to run it over the sistem so for the ppl that love this device buy it because i will for sure the day it on google store.. peace out ppl

You sure about iPhone 7/Plus that it don't have front facing speakers? Probably you've missed out its announcement. FYI, Apple integrated the stereo speakers on iPhone earpiece where it can be use during playing audios via speakers.

AnonD-406790

The iPhone 7/7 Plus and the Galaxy S7/Edge/Note don't have front facing speakers either. The Galaxies don't even have stereo speakers. In fact the audio that comes out of those things is pretty bad for a phone of that price. This phones has stereo speakers, not front facing but at least there is two. So it already beat the Galaxies in the audio department. Whether the speakers on the Pixel XL will be better than the iPhone 7/7 Plus is up for time to decide. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they will sound better, considering that this phone is manufactured by HTC, the king of smartphone audio. In what way is the camera not up to code? On paper this sounds like a pretty good camera. 1.55 um, and a 1.8 aperture sounds amazing for low light shots. The 6P is still has one of the best cameras for low light and pictures in general, regardless of how the lighting is. This is a successor to that. I guarantee you that this camera will definitely compete.

Nekron

and AGAIN where is the micro SD .......

AnonD-433771

This phone will flop. A colossal failure. It does not have dual front facing speakers. It does not have the camera abilities of iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy/Note units going back to generation 6! What is the flipping point of this phone? Android updates come out sooner? That's what the premium cost is for? Absurd. I will wait for the Unlocked (no bloatware) Samsung Note 7 to come out early next year. Enough of this waiting only to get severely disappointed in Google failures.
