Google Pixel and Pixel XL First Look and Tour!

Yeah, we spent some time today with Google's new phones, the Pixel and Pixel XL. They are pretty great, even at those prices that are still quite shocking. Here is a full tour of each phone as we lead up to a review!

I must admit it looks better in person. Same story as the 6P.

Wow amazing video!! I love the quality of this video, and the basic yet really useful review & viewing angles of the phone. Kept it really concise. Subscribing! For some reason, the Pixel looks nicer on your video then it did on other review videos. Kudos!

Is the stock messaging app just the Google Messenger app that you can download currently? Was hoping to see allo become stock, at least to confirm sms support.

Nice!!!! I love the phone and the new launcher! Looks great!

[jesselam]

The UI looks pretty good i like the rounded icons and animations but the physical appearance of the phone is not too appealing to me

Line or when people say it's too expensive ^^ It really isn't. It's on par with other smartphones on the market.

[nicholascheung]

really like how this hands on video is done

A lot of the people who are bashing the design are gonna end up getting the phone anyway. Yeah, it's expensive, but that's why Google is offering a financing option. And I remember people bashing the 6P last year and now it's heralded as one of the best looking phones among many. Seeing the Pixels in videos will not do them any justice. I plan to go to Best Buy or a Verizon store to see them in person and make my assessment then.

There is alot of space at the bottom that they dont use.

[mesp]

What's with massive bezel at the bottom? Seems to only be for symmetry? They shoulda made it smaller since it doesn't even have physical buttons. Note 7 still remains the best looking phone of 2016.

appreciate the video quality at 1080p and 60fps ! awesome!

is the circle in the back a Finger print reader?

[Atirrs]

by far the most underrated feature of 7.0 is the adjustable dpi.

[LvTrain]

Sucks they did not stick with the front facing speakers like the Nexus 6, how will the speakers on these new pixel phone sound?

[DavidBowen]

I need some advice, I've been trying to get my hands on a note 7 for a few weeks. now that the pixel is out I'd like your opinion on what one would you suggest I buy. I'm really interested in using the new VR to watch YouTube and Netflix. Can you use the note 7 with the Google VR or can I watch that stuff on Samsung's VR? Since I can't hold the Pixel and can't find any info regarding the VR capabilities I need your advice.

I really wish they'd give us a 6" option. I'm clinging to my Nexus 6 because I can't use smaller phones after having this beast. I have a v10, 6p and moto z force but use my 6 a ton throughout the day.

[gogigp]

Did they remember to require htc to include audio enchantment on pixels at least as htc 10 or they plan to give us bellow mediocre sound? If they didn't, I wonder do they know what they are doing....

[ACrazyNoob]

hey droid life do you know if the payment financing is US only? tis a shame is if :(

[aRoamingDuck]

Gotta love everyone hating on the design.
Probably going to be the same deal as with the Nexus 6p. Looks pretty "meh" on video and pictures, looks really good in person.
Im holding off my judgement until i see them in person.

[hendertender]

what's that oval sensor(?) under the front speaker
