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.

Google Pixel XL review
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

When Google set out to develop and market its first Phone by Google branded device - not co-branded with a partner - and spiritual successors to its legacy Nexus brand, the company drew a line in the sand.
OnePlus 3T vs Google Pixel XL review
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.
Google Pixel XL review
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.
A new Google Pixel XL Review in brief, 5-months later
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

- Fantastic camera
- Premium design
- More expensive than previous Nexus phones
- Not waterproof
Google Pixel XL review
The Pixel XL features 2016's top-of-the-line specs and is a fine vessel for Android Oreo. This VR-capable phone has a suitably fast processor, even by 2018 standards, and a superb camera, all sandwiched into a funky design.- One of the best phone cameras around
- Streamlined Android software
- Google Assistant is promising
- More expensive than a Nexus phone
- Peculiar design and no always-on screen
- No stereo speakers or waterproofing
Google Pixel 1 XL review
The Google Pixel is a fantastic phone with a brilliant camera, but increasing competition means its days may be numbered
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...
