Google Pixel XL Summary
Google is venturing into uncharted territory with its first self-designed smartphones, the Pixel and Pixel XL, which are nearly identical but for size. While its design isn't likely to turn heads, the Pixel XL is packed with cutting-edge components such as a Snapdragon 821 SoC and 4GB of RAM. The major attraction is software, particularly the new voice-based Google Assistant. We can understand why the business claims to have created the finest smartphone camera in the world. If you want Google's purest vision of what Android should be, go for the Pixel or Pixel XL, but be prepared to pay a premium for the privilege.
