The first phone to come with Google Assistant built in, the Google Pixel XL is a brilliant phone both in the software and hardware aspects.
The phone comes with a 5.5 inch QHD AMOLED display at 534 ppi(pixels per inch) with a seemless glass-aluminium body with smooth surfaces and easy to grip curved edges that makes it all the more beautiful. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset and 4GB of ram that handles multiple tasks superbly. The front camera is 8MP and the back is 12.3MP with HDR+(High Dynamic Range) which provides decent, sharp and crisp images with no issues on storage. Though the camera quality was good, I expected more pixels for the price I was paying. I am satisfied with the speakers, it produces clear and great sound quality even at high volumes. Moving on to its battery life the phone is packed with 3500mah of battery life which lasts the whole day after a fair bit of gaming and internet use. For sensors it includes finger print sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer/gyrometer, magnetometer, barometer, hall effect sensor, android sensor. It contains a USB Type-C port, USB 3.0, 3.5mm headset jack and a single nano sim.
From the software’s point of view The Google Pixel runs on Android 7.1( Nougat) with 2 years of OS upgrades from launch and 3 years of security updates from launch. Amazing Right?
I am already very happy with the phone after 5 days of use only. Its easy to use and comes with great features. But a phone of this quality and feature sells for a hefty price. I would definitely recommend you guys to go for it if you don’t care too much about the value for money. Overall the Google Pixel XL is a brilliant phone which looks good, feels good and most importantly performs good.
