The Google Pixel has a fantastic camera
Especially in low light. It's elegantly designed. Google Assistant takes one of the most natural
Human approaches to answering your voice.
Google Assistant is the first voice assistant that really works. You can't take a bad picture with the Pixel. So what if it looks like the iPhone? The iPhone looks great
And so does the Pixel

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
Although the Google Pixel outclasses the Nexus 5X is a few areas, it's hard to recommend spending double the amount on it considering the older phone still offers decent specs – especially the camera which you might think would be a big difference. Only s...
It's close call when it comes to the Pixel against the iPhone, although some specs such as the screen are better, we think it's a brave move for Google to match Apple when it comes to price. This will largely come down to where your loyalties lie but on t...

Abstract: Welcome to the party Google. Sure, the search giant's been a dominant force in the smartphone space for years with its ever-present Android OS. Heck, its Nexus phones even gained huge swathes of support. But this is different. This, the shiny new Google P...

The two phones are fairly evenly matched on paper. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 could provide the Pixel with the extra grunt needed to challenge Apple's new Fusion internals, while Android 7.1 Nougat introduces enough new functionality to reinvigorate the ri...
We wouldn't say one of these phones was arguably better than the other, since in essence they are almost the same phone. The Google Pixel is our pick for its more manageable size and lower price, but the Pixel XL stands out for its larger, higher-resoluti...

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. Price: £599...
Abstract: Which is the best smartphone: iPhone 7 or Google Pixel?It's certainly an interesting time to buy a smartphone. But which one? Should you buy the iPhone 7 or the new Google Pixel smartphone?Apple's iPhone 7 remains somewhat controversial thanks to the "mis...

Abstract: Google has taken the lid off the first in its new line of first-party devices. Having officially retired the Nexus range, the new devices are known as Pixels, with the larger variant unofficially nicknamed the Pixel XL. With some impressive specs and high...
Stunning camera, The best version of Android, Good size for one-handed use, Super fast
Expensive, Back panel prone to scratches, Would like more storage options
Google Pixel – Battery Life While the battery on the Google Pixel is good, it obviously isn't quite as impressive as the one featured in the larger Pixel XL. While the Pixel XL can easily make it through a day and comfortably into the next, the Pixel is m...
Pixel and Pixel XL have the processing power you would need to be best in class. The 4GB RAM is the perfect size to ramp up the power of Qualcomm’s latest processor the 821 and all that is within its might and the camera looks good and unlimited storage o...
