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.

This phone arrived literally a week ago (on a Thursday). I powered it up but didn't switch the SIM card over until Tuesday (today is Thursday, two days later). 1. Most troublesome: I enter my PIN and the screen just goes black, makes me enter the PIN, repeatedly, I can't get into the phone. 2.
Useless review. You've never seen it, never touched one, wanted blue so went to iPhone, where there's no blue, and lastly come out with the statement "your loss google" i really don't think they will worry about that.

if you are obsessed with smartphone photography I recommend it. big gorgeous AMOLED screen is great for watching movies. the phone is very fast. but, I am not satisfied with the battery life.
The new Google Pixel phone and its supersized cousin, the Google Pixel XL, represent a paradigm shift in the smartphone world. Although this isn't the first time the search giant has sold smartphones under its own name, it's the first time it has marketed them under the Pixel brand.
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 like the best Android smartphone, with a clean...
Great software; Excellent performance; Camera produces stunning pics in many shooting situations; Ships with useful adapters
Not waterproof; No expandable storage; Camera's low-light performance disappointing
It's been 5 months since I started using a Google Pixel XL and, like no other phone before it, I can't imagine switching to any other device. While it's quite possible the newest wave of smartphones from brands like Samsung and LG will out-style and out-display the Pixel with their newest devices...
Best smartphone camera on the market; Google's software and hardware; Seamless updates without need for tapping; Swift; responsive UI that does not slow down; months later; Strong; flat; standard industrial design
Could benefit from wireless charging; Front-facing speakers would be best; Availability should've been solid from the start; Android File Transfer should work or be replaced
Without a doubt, the Pixel XL and its little brother, the Pixel, are both very good smartphones in our opinion. Although the change of name from Nexus to Pixel implies dramatic changes to the smartphone, the reality is that Pixel phones hardly differ from the previous Nexus smartphones.
Brilliant display; Rapid performance; Top camera; No bloatware
Very high Price; No headphones included; Only IP53 certified
Google's Pixel XL is the best Android phone you can buy, hands down.
Pure Android is perfection; Automatic updates to the latest software; 24/7 customer support; Fantastic camera; Premium design
More expensive than previous Nexus phones; Not waterproof
The Pixel XL is a bit of a puzzle. A ￡719 puzzle that I'm not sure I've managed to solve after a week of using one. Right now, though, the OnePlus 3 is still the best value Android phone - it's half the price of the XL, but matches it for build quality and a near-stock version of Android.
Fast camera that takes quality snaps; As slick and streamlined as Android gets
Only average battery life; Marmite school of design; No standout features
