Last years Nexus 6P was a great phone at a great price.The pixel line isnt about value, however the focus here is on sheer quality.The nexus phones, as a result of their price point, were subject to trade-offs here and there-but this isnt so with the pixel handsets.So, this isnt a cheap then - and in fact, it matches up closely to what youd pay for an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus.Thats fine, though, because the pixel xl is better than an iphone 7.And for many its better than the samsung galaxy S7 too. Google has finally managed to build its "iPhone" - and that should make other android phone makers very worried indeed.
