Wonderful upgrade. Great camera. Watch out for apps that are not available yet

First things first: this phone looks and feels like an iPhone, and that's not a coincidence. Aside from a few button configurations (and one big missing one), the Google Pixel XL looks like it wants to seamlessly port iPhone users over to Android, and the design, right down to the unfortunate missing expandable microSD slot, will do just that. Speaking of Android, the Pixel XL comes pre-loaded with the most current Android OS, Nougat. Features like Google Assistant, onscreen multitasking, and more robust notification trees are available right out of the box. So about the experience... First off, this is probably the best phone I've ever owned. This is coming from a former iPhone 6s user and current Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge owner. Apple's phones felt restrictive and niche; the Galaxy on the other hand, while a beautiful handheld, has several buggy features that constantly annoy and interrupt. The Pixel XL combines the best features of both: the sleek design of an iPhone with the freedom and customizable features of Android. The dual speakers at the bottom of the phone are noticeably louder than my Samsung. The screen is big, bright, and beautiful - I especially like the programmable low, blue lighting feature to use at night time which greatly reduces eye strain. The buttons have good firmness to them, so I'm not worried about accidental presses like I constantly do with the Galaxy Edge. One interesting thing of note: the entire front of the phone has no physical button. The bottom, where you'd expect some kind of home button, is a clean (dust-free) panel that appears to only be present as a symmetry point to the top of the phone. The home, previous, and recent buttons are fully integrated into the display - while this is aesthetically pleasing, you do lose some screen real estate when these buttons need to be accessed. Video quality for this phone is excellent. 4K video is an option, but not defaulted, and the photo quality is beautiful. I like the onscreen exposure control option, which is a nice touch, literally. The phone comes with a computer cable of the new USB-C variety. The charging speed is pretty impressive. It also comes with a USB-C transfer dongle and an abnormally large wall adapter. It is absurdly large, I will never use it unless it was necessary. Not gonna lie: this is the phone I've been waiting for. If you are an iPhone user interested in Android, this is the perfect transition. If you are a Google user tired of the wonky features of other Android phones, this is the upgrade you've wanted. Google got it right. Full disclosure, I received this phone in order to provide my honest, unbiased review.

I really like this new Google phone The screen size is a great jump from my iPhone 5s The camera quality is much better and the fingerprint scanner (located on the back) works well and fast The switchover was pretty easy from my old phone And the new Google assistant easily competes with her apple counterpart The screen size is large and very clear. A little too large for my back pocket. I enjoy it but will have to find a better way to carry it The phone is very thin and light so doesn't feel bulky There is no home button so that was an adjustment as was going back to android from iOS after a few years. But it was like riding a bike-I didn't forget There's a cool shake function for the camera that switches from front to back as well as several other motion functions you can setup I also prefer the android keyboards over the apple ones (numbers on all the time) I have been having trouble finding a variety of cases for the phone so far (likely due to the recent release ). I expect more to be available soon Overall a great phone. Nice large screen for games videos or anything. New OS is fast and works very well. Screen setup is easy to navigate and the google assistant unlock function is cool. You can unlock the phone with your saved voice saying 'OK Google' You will be happy with this phone if you are ready for a switch or an android upgrade

Features are amazing. Camera is perfect. This is the best phone made so far.

It's been a nice phone. Although it's slippery so get a case right away!

If you have money get this phone it's fast and feels great in hand

Really enjoy this phone. The camera is good and so is the software.

This phone is great fast smooth I can't believe this is android

Short and to the point...I have had several Samsung products. Galaxy S4,S5,S6 S7 Edge and the Note 5. Not nearly as customisable as any of those. However, the speed of the Pixel is very fast and responsive. The Google voice function is the most notable function of the phone. This is the first time I've ever thought that I should have bought and iPhone over an Android.

Excellent screen resolution, easy to use. My husband loves it

I bought this phone looking for a well polished android product. I beleive Google has a winner with this phone. Did pick the XL not only for the display size but for the unlimited photos app uploads at their original quality. That for me was the selling point. Very satisfied with my buy. Highly recommend to anyone that likes to take pictures.

I have enjoyed this phone from the very beginning. I am able to screen calls, Google lets me know if there is spam and I can block the number and report it as a bad number. Unlimited photo storage, Come-on who does that....My wife already upgraded to the Google 3. Great phone in my opinion. Thanks

Great phone still learning everything this baby can do!

Really good phone for normal use, I really like it

This phone is great. Very fast and sleek, I love the OS and uploading pics straight to the cloud.

Many features. Easy to use. Love the vocal commands

After having a note 5 for a year it started to give me problems. I decided to upgrade to a note 7 until found out the defect of catching on fire. I then saw the reviews regarding the pixel and thought I would give it a try. I like the phone a lot and the picture quality is wonderful. I'm glad I held out and bought this phone.
