Google Pixel XL Unboxing and First Impressions

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are the first smartphones made by Google. Not only is the software unique, but the hardware is too. The Pixel XL features a 5.5" QHD AMOLED display, Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB RAM, 12MP camera sensor, 3450mAh battery and Android 7.1 Nougat. Starting at $769, how do you like the Pixel XL?

"they should add functionality to the finger print scanner" - they do. swipe down to pull notifications down. as if unlocking the phone and replacing passwords isn't enough functionality.

You didn't do your homework home fry. The fingerprint scanner can draw the notification shade down & up.

if you gonna bring up htc as the manufacturer of the phone than I wanna see you bring up foxconn when you doing a iphone review

[RomanOnARiver]

Saying the device is made by HTC so it isn't a Google phone is like saying the iPhone being made by Foxconn means it isn't an Apple phone. It's rediuclous.

You can swipe down on fingerprint scanner to pull down your notification shade.

One speaker, not two. Did you use the phone before the review?

[Skizzy]

Ugh, the second Google Pixel video where someone mentions "their OCD." If you don't have it, please don't joke about it..

[noohal-sharafi]

at least now we have another competitor not only samsung and apple

[jrami]

I seen it today and it looks better in person

[TechforKings]

Come on, man, you seriously didn't do any research about the speaker? Notice I used the singular form of speaker, not the plural. There's only ONE speaker!

Nice to know Google brings in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam as the default wallpaper. For those of you who don't know, it was the city struck by tsunami back in 2004 which costed nearly 4000 souls here in Indonesia..

looks like honeymoon period for this phone was short and is over. reviewers are now starting to point out its many, many shortcomings.

The fingerprint button does have another use. If you slide your finger down in it the notification tab on the phone will slide down, and if you slide up you can hide the notifications.

No matter how many times I look at reviews and unboxing videos, nothing justifies the price hike from the 6p to the Pixel XL..

[AlejandroDeLaRosa]

might as well rename this channel to BeauHD

[meatlad]

Definitely a huge fan of the phone, and waiting for restock of the model I want, but at this price point they definitely should have thrown in some decent headphones. Samsung, LG, Apple, etc all get this right.

Im loving my pixel xl. Super smooth and the camera is insanely good. It fits in your hand much better than the iPhone and is a lot lighter.

[orangestorm]
