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

Google is finally taking the smartphone fight seriously, launching two new handsets with one simple message: Pixel, Phone by Google. That might sound like a slightly gawky message, but it's laced with potency.

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

With such a big price difference, it's hard to recommend buying the Google Pixel XL here. For a lot less money you get the same Snapdragon 821 processor, premium design and large battery. Add in that OnePlus gets your more storage and RAM and you have a flagship killer.

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL lack waterproofing and the outstanding battery lives of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge – and unlike Nexus phones, they're no longer bargains. But overall, the new Google handsets are excellent premium phones, offering a great screen, good performance and battery...

Google pulled the covers off its newest smartphone creations earlier this month - the Pixel and the Pixel XL . The new devices mark a departure from the Nexus line that has served the company well for so long, bringing high-end specs and prices to match.
