Like the 5.7-inch panel on the Nexus 6P, the 5.5-inch screen on the Pixel XL is an AMOLED component, returning with the same quad-HD 1440 x 2560 resolution. It’s protected by Gorilla Glass 4, which has an ever-so-slight curved-edge effect. we’d only expect form an AMOLED display, colors are really bold, with bright, saturated hues and inky-dark blacks. White balance looks good ( but not great) in our tests, but the color gamut itself is a bit over-saturated.
Brightness, however, is more middle-of-the-road, and more than once we found ourselves wishing we could crank the display up brighter while out in early afternoon sunlight – the Pixel XL is still visible enough, but a slightly brighter screen would sure help with usability.
