The Google Pixel XL is a very good phone. It's camera is great, it's snappy, has the latest version of Android and will get updates first, it's powerful and lasts over a day between charges. Despite its size it's also relatively easy to use one-handed and it's well made.

Android 7.1 Nougat; rapid updates; great camera; great screen; more than a day's battery life; Google Assistant; great fingerprint scanner

not waterproof; no expandable memory; no front-facing speakers; no wireless charging; expensive; not as easy to handle as some rivals

The Pixel XL beats out all comers in the 5.5″ or larger smartphone category, but at a high price tag. Buy it if you want the best Android smartphone in creation. For those looking for a budget model, try the OnePlus 3 $170 Nextbit Robin.

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

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.

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.

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.

There is no such thing as a perfect smartphone. I know because I've been trying to find one for longer than I care to remember. There's also no such thing as being 100% happy with the phone you have. At least this is true for me.

Very fast; Great camera; Long battery life; 2 years of OS updates; 3 years of security updates

Expensive; Not water resistant/water proof; No stereo speakers

You'd be forgiven if you were a little suspicious of Google's resolve in the smartphone game. This is, after all, the company that's used a revolving door to partner with every major player/competitor except Apple for each generation of device.

Uses new Android Nougat, Google's latest OS; usable both on Verizon and Google's Project Fi; solid construction

Price is as high as the competition's; camera functionality could be better
