Google Pixel phone review

They stack up against the best phones on the market and have the Google Assistant inside. Also, great cameras!

so when apple makes their phone waterproof it becomes a requirement

but when sony, samsung or anyone else does it's just a plus.

Literally no one cares about thickness. 100% of ppl would want a thicker phone if it means better hardware/battery

1:56 "I'm getting like 2 hours more than I get on iPhone... "

What kind of battery review is that

[legendarytrbal]

And.. Of *COURSE* it has a headphone jack..

[NehemYah]

At "best android phone ever" and "not techy like Samsung" I could see what kind've a "review" this was gonna be.

[TheDougSpot]

How is this the first phone google made? That can't be accurate. Are you disregarding all 8 previous ones?

[spinningbacksidekick]

Y'all lost me at the second "stupendous."

[winter]

Just his wise ass attitude says it He's an apple guy and nothing will come close to his coveted iPhone

[NielsZomer]

Are there actually people that use Google Assistant or Siri on a daily basis?

[MarvJohnny]

Let's be honest, no one wants the next presidential debate to come. Not even Google

This is the best The Verge review yet.

[UmbroKhan]

well i want to see next year Google Pixel 2nd generation to have waterproof, no bezels, wireless charging, 256Gb storage, OLED screen, dual front facing speakers and 5 years of updates if it wants to WIN the fight with Samsung and Apple.

[unnaturalone]

A better name for this phone would be the Google Bezel.

[sgodsellify]

are you guys going to review Daydream VR as well? Did you get the Daydream VR headset as well?

[hyroproto]

Excellent review of an Android phone from verge. Wow

[TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

Not water proof...how is this the best android phone in the market then?

[thezcamaroman]

At a starting point of $650 with no OIS, no micro SD expansion, no dual front facing speakers (Nexus 6P or HTC One M9, take your pick, they could have done it), no wireless charging, no waterproofing, no removable battery and no exclusive feature to differentiate it, are you 100% sure this is the best Android you can buy? Are you sure cheaper phones like the HTC 10, Galaxy S7 or OnePlus 3 not better buys?

[peterhan]

The best review which covered details in short, quick and direct way! Keep it up like this more please!

Such a bad review....
Firstly the Pixel isn't the first phone made by google, just like every single nexus phone, Google makes the calls but third parties are the ones responsible for manufacturing and making of the phone, in this case HTC, before LG and Huawei.

Secondly, saying this is the best android phone is like having a bag of jelly beans and saying "the blue one is the best jelly bean", different consumers have different tastes and the LG V20 (where is the review on that?) for example has the best DAC ever on a phone, has removable battery, a second screen, dual backcameras etc. basically features that might not interest you but would be the decisive choice for other users.

And lastly, this is hardly a review, this is in no way objective but mostly subjective and feels like very little investigation was put into it. So much more could be said about the new android N that is only now available for testing, plus the camera, you showed no camera shots (review?)
There is so much to say but I guess this is what one would expect from the verge anyway
