Google Pixel XL 32GB
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.

A strong statement of intent and a gazillion leaks later, they are finally here - the Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Google-branded smartphones. As evident from the launch event in San Francisco on Tuesday, Google is positioning the Pixel smartphones against Apple's iPhone, at the premium-end of...
On first impressions, weecan't help but feel that the Pixel is a bit of a wasted opportunity. The handset has a largely boring design, doesn't offer much in the way of innovation and is expensive compared with previous Nexus smartphones.
Review: Google's new Pixel XL is a fine phone -- but is it really special?
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
Google Pixel 1 XL review
Announced at a San Francisco event on October 4th, the Pixel and Pixel XL are the two new smartphones from Google for 2016. The pair of phones are the first to offer the Google Assistant software technology and look to head further down the path already started by the nexus line.
Google Pixel 1 XL review
Google’s brand new Pixel XL is the most refined Android smartphone we’ve ever used. It’s that good. Everything from the polished metal hardware to the smooth, fast and efficient software. It’s Google’s vision for Android perfected and available to all.
Google Pixel XL review
Google, mighty overseer of the internet, has made a smartphone. The Nexus-brand notwithstanding, this time around the firm has done the design, engineering and testing wholly in-house.
Before we jump into a discussion about the Pixel XL, we wanted to set out our review methodology. We've had the Pixel XL in our office since Friday last week, and this is going out at 12.01 am on Thursday morning.
Google Pixel 1 XL review
As the world watches an unprecedented recall and product scrapping from its biggest electronics and smartphone manufacturer, Google has been quietly readying a Trojan horse that might just be the answer to many people’s questions of where to go next.
A pixel is defined as the smallest addressable element in an all points addressable display device. Essentially speaking, it is the smallest component of a much bigger picture. There's a case to be made that Google really couldn't have named their new phones better.
- Fantastic camera
- Extremely fast & fluid hardware
- Great battery life
- Fast Android updates
- Price
- Dull design
For years Google's former search head Amit Singhal talked about ushering in an era of computing where Google would act like the computer on the iconic science fiction TV series Star Trek.
