Google’s Android Smartphone, the Pixel XL, has been specially designed by the search engine giant to accommodate their newest OS versions. It runs Nougat like a pro as well as earlier versions of Android’s operating system. Google didn’t hold back on the aesthetics either. The design of these phones really highlights the brilliantly crisp touchscreen with elegant colour options. Choose between ‘quite black’, ‘very silver’ and ‘really blue’ depending on your preferences.
The quad-core CPU along with the Adreno 530 make operating your Google Pixel fast & simple. 2GB RAM will also keep your apps running smoothly. You’ll also get an onboard memory of 32GB for storage (this is not upgradeable, but larger onboard memory versions of the phone are available). The motivation behind this Smartphone was to introduce Android users to their latest version 7.1 (aka Nougat), which is now available for upgrading other Android-compatible phones. However, Google wanted this particular phone to highlight the advancement of their operating system—and they’ve succeeded!
Google have not forgotten about camera functionality on the Google Pixel XL. The 12.3MP camera with dual-LED flash will make your photos crisp & clear, boasting a high resolution for close shots and distant ones. The video recording function also delivers high resolution depending on your settings. Choose between 2160p@30fps, 1080p@30/60/120fps and 720p@240fps. With these great features, there’s no reason to be sceptical about Google’s new phone. They clearly know what they are doing.

I've had the phone for a few weeks so far and it is brilliant. I admit that it was replacing a rather old iphone which could barely function. I think the charge lasts very well on the google pixel, photo quality very good, watching media is fantastic.
This phone would be the best that I've ever owned fast and so easy to navigate just the greatest have recommended to everyone I know cheers Daniel
[Update 2: Before you choose a phone, check out the amazing Samsung Galaxy S8 review.]
It is as good as or incrementally better than everything else on the market but the A.I-enhanced Google Assistant elevates it to another level of smartphone technology. However, now that Google's amazing Daydream VR is here - and it's currently exclusive to Pixel - this is the phone to buy.
Google Assistant's A.I. is innovative; Superb camera; Fast; Unlimited cloud storage; Fast charging; Daydream VR compatibility;
Battery life is modest; Expensive; Not pretty; Single speaker is retrograde step; Not waterproof; 15% price hike for Aussies;
There's a lot to like here. Google is making a second attempt at a first impression. For folks most concerned about software performance, we think they'll be very pleased with what they get. Seriously. The Pixel XL is a screamer when paging around the UI.
Phenomenal UI Performance; Eye Catching Rear Design; Excellent Camera Auto Software; Best in Class Voice Assistant; Very Good Battery Life and Recharging Speeds
Pricier than the Nexus it replaces; Poor Camera Lens Quality; Camera software ignores more experienced users; Poor Headphone Quality
Display - XL The first major difference that we find on the Google Pixel XL is a larger 5.5" AMOLED displayed. This gives the user an extra half inch of screen to enjoy and its inclusion only adds 11mm to its height and 6mm to its width.
For years now, I've said the best Android phone would be an iPhone running the operating system. The Pixel XL finally delivers on that. Sure, it's a very similar design (people always ask me if it's the 7 Plus), but it's also a design that works.
Firstly i would like to request Everyone to ignore all the negative comments in here. I use every phone in real depth and i give all the feedbacks after the benchmark results of the devices. Comparing this device with iPhones is completely rubbish.
Best camera ever; Best Android phone; Great operating system; Great RAM management; Amazing display; Great battery backup; Strong device; Fastest Android experience ever
No front firing speakers; Lager down bezels
Nexus is dead, and Pixel is here to replace it. It's the biggest shift in Google's homegrown smartphone strategy since the first Nexus launch in 2010. Google executives have assured this will be one to remember, and the company has begun an advertising campaign bigger than anything they've done...
The best smartphone camera available; The best Android software experience yet; Snappy performance; Fantastic high-resolution display; Decent battery life
Lacks water resistance, wireless charging, and microSD card slot; Expensive; (Subjectively) ugly design
More than just another Nexus, the Pixel has what it takes to compete with other high-priced premium phones.
Fantastic camera; Super fast and responsive; Unlimited online photo and video backup
Not waterproof; Very expensive; No stereo speakers
Many have questioned Google's reasoning for taking the direction it has with the Pixel XL. Last year's Nexus 6P was a great phone at a great price. The Pixel line isn't about value, however; the focus here is on sheer quality.
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
