Google Pixel Phone review: Can the Pixel 2 outperform?
The Pixel is starting to show its age, right? It was a phenomenal phone way back in 2016 - and it still has the best phone camera to date - but a lot has changed in the last year, with a smattering of fantastic handsets making an appearance.
Pros:
- Fantastic camera
- Has the latest version of Android
- Fast performance
Cons:
- Dull design
- No dust- or water-resistance

There are two Pixel phones in the family – the Pixel with a 5-inch display and the Pixel XL with a 5.5-inch screen. Tech Guide had the latter for this review and, apart from the screen size, the smartphones are basically the same in terms of features and camera quality.
Pros:
- Build quality
- fast
- slick Android operating system
- excellent camera
- long battery life
Cons:
- Not waterproof
- no microSD card slot
- expensive

Google Pixel Review: Android at its best, on mixed hardware

- Good build quality
- Powerful internals
- Good camera with low light improvements
- Android 7.1 Nougat with Google Assistant
- Awesome battery life
- Project Fi Capable
- Google Pixel launcher is very efficient
Cons:
- Pricey
- No stereo speakers
- Water resistance limited to IP53
- Uninspired front design
- Google Assistant still has growing to do
- Verizon Carrier exclusive

Google Pixel review: Pure Android at its absolute best
If you're wary of Samsung or looking for a worthy iPhone alternative, the Google Pixel is the high-end Android phone to get. The Google Pixel remains our favorite phone, bar none -- unless you're looking for a bigger screen, in which case we'd recommend its big brother, the Pixel XL.
Pros:
- The Google Pixel has a fantastic camera, especially in low light
- It's elegantly designed
- Google Assistant takes one of the most natural, human approaches to answering your voice.
Cons:
- The phone's display is dim in outdoor sunlight and its camera's Lens Blur feature is shoddy
- It's splash-resistant rather than dunkable, and it's pricey compared to previous Google Nexus devices.

Review: Google Pixel
I write about gadgets, which means everyone asks me what laptop or dishwasher or whatever to buy. I struggle with this, because the answer often starts with, "It depends." Unless you ask about a phone. In that case, I usually say get an iPhone. Don't get me wrong. I love Android.
Pros:
- Google Assistant is the first voice assistant that really works
- You can't take a bad picture with the Pixel
- So what if it looks like the iPhone? The iPhone looks great, and so does the Pixel
Cons:
- Every phone should be waterproof, and this one isn't
- Good as it is, Assistant's hardly flawless

Google Pixel Review: Google's Got a Winner
Google has two self-branded smartphones: the 5.5-inch Pixel XL and the 5-inch Pixel. Both smartphones change the game for Google: They transform the company from a software-only Android owner that once struck deals with phone-makers to create Nexus devices into a company unafraid to branch out on...
Pros:
- Compact
- great in-hand feel
- Pixel Launcher brings added functionality
- Google Assistant is the leading AI in the industry
- Superb camera
- Built-in chat support for all your questions and problems
- Fast-charging battery and strong battery life
Cons:
- Design could be better
- Lacks full-blown water resistance
- Display is not bright enough in sunlight
- Audio can distort

The Google Pixel was up there with the best phones of 2016, and it's still one of the finest out there today. This seems like an odd thing to say, because Google's first proper attempt at a phone is missing a lot of features we take for granted now.
Pros:
- Stunning camera
- The best version of Android
- Good size for one-handed use
- Super fast
Cons:
- Expensive
- Back panel prone to scratches
- Would like more storage options
