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

A friend of mind once told me that if you want to find a good pizza place, the best way is to order just a plain cheese pizza — no toppings. If a place can nail down the basics, you know that anything else you throw on top is just a bonus. That's how you...

It's been a rough few years for users who prefer smaller smartphones, and Google's last five-inch model was introduced all the way back in 2013, with the Nexus 5. But now with the Pixel, Google's really offering shoppers a no-compromise handset that's sti...
Expensive, Yawninducing design, Less waterresistant than rivals
The 5-inch Pixel is a great phone, and its big brother, the Pixel XL, is ever so slightly better. You'll get the same top-tier performance as on the smaller model, just with a bigger, crisper display and a more capacious battery to sweeten the deal. W...
Abstract: It's been a little over two weeks since I received my Google Pixel (XL) review unit, so I thought I would provide an addendum to our review based on more time with the phone. I won't be covering every category I did in the review. But I will try to give y...
Abstract: Underwhelming at first glance, it's tempting to review the Google Pixel by simply weighing it against its peers. Does it trounce its Nexus relatives, a brand it renders defunct? Does it compare in value to the identically-priced iPhone 7 ? Let's put these...
