The editors didn't like
No water-resistance
Bland generic design
Costs as much as iPhone
No memory card slot
Design is a little dull
Lacks extra features found on similarly priced flagships like water resistance
Wireless charging
OIS
Multilens cameras
The skyhigh price feels more like a marketing ploy ("We're just as good as the iPhone!") than a justifiable price point
The single speaker is a big downgrade from the Nexus 6P. Google is charging more and delivering less
A rear glass panel adds fragil
Price There's no way around it
The price points are high. iPhone high. And you're going to be hardpressed to convince the valueobsessed that there's nearly $800 of smartphone in a Pixel XL
Not water resistant
No water resistance
Eyewatering SIMfree price
Google Assistant is still learning
Back glass prone to scratching
Styling might be too close to an iPhone for some
Pricey
No microSD support
No waterproofing
Expandable storage
Or wireless charging
Bezels are stupid big
No 64GB model
Battery life (regular model)
Limited color options
Excessive camera glare issue
No wireless charging (despite half-glass back)
No extreme water resistance
No stereo speakers
Water resistance limited to IP53
Uninspired front design
Google Assistant still has growing to do
Verizon Carrier exclusive
The phone's display is dim in outdoor sunlight and its camera's Lens Blur feature is shoddy. It's splashresistant rather than dunkable
And it's pricey compared to previous Google Nexus devices
Every phone should be waterproof
And this one isn't. Good as it is
Assistant's hardly flawless
Disappointing design
OK audio
No microSD card slot
Display in need of a brightness boost
A little on the thick side for a phone this size
No waterproofing/dust resistance
Design could be better
Lacks full-blown water resistance
Display is not bright enough in sunlight
Audio can distort
Expensive
Yawninducing design
Less waterresistant than rivals
Lack of dynamic range
Visible color shading in indoor conditions
Occasionally abrupt ">white balance transitions
Slight white balance inaccuracies in low light
Stabilization artifacts in indoor conditions (sharpness differences over consecutive frames

Headphone Jack, Amazing camera, Android Nougat OS, Google Assistant built in
Pricey, USB-C is relatively new,
The Pixel is a great phone - a truly amazing piece of kit. Google have done it again by producing the only Android capable of tempting me over from iOS.Is it worth the upgrade from a Nexus 5X or 6P? I don't know. If what you're after is something shiny an...

great camera, good screen, a day's battery life, Android 7.1 Nougat, Google Assistant, great fingerprint scanner
not waterproof, no expandable memory, no frontfacing speakers, no wireless charging, expensive
The Pixel is an interesting device. A phone designed by Google, the maker of Android. The software side is top notch: the smoothest, newest and best optimised version of Android available at the moment and most probably into the future, what with rapid up...

Android 7.1 and Pixel Launcher are speedy and slick, Bestinclass camera, Attractive and userfriendly
Google Assistant has limited uses, No expandable storage or waterproofing, Expensive
Look past the disappointing Google Assistant, and the Pixel is a highly capable premium flagship. It's not quite as good as its main rivals on paper, and it's missing some fan-favourite features, but we're inclined to forgive it thanks to its slick and...

Google Assistant is fantastic, unlimited storage and advanced camera controls
Hardware feels cheaper than it is, battery life is good but not great
WIRED Android fans will have a lot to love about the Pixel and Pixel XL. They bring some nice touches and useful features to good-quality, albeit not great quality, hardware. Battery life on the Pixel is ok, and will certainly outdo older Android m...
Stellar performance, Superb camera, Bright AMOLED display, Feels high-end and polished, 24/7 support
Battery life isn't great, Not waterproof
Yes. We've come to enjoy the design on the back of the smartphone, and more importantly, Android is better than ever on the Pixel. Assistant will also continue to get better and better, and you won't find performance issues on this phone, either. If you'r...
