Abstract: The Pixel phones have been out for a several weeks now, and a lot has been said about the camera. I will try to comment on some of the things that I've felt have been a bit overlooked, in a deeper dive into the Google Camera 4.2 on the Pixel XL. Most of t...
Google's first experiment at controlling the hardware in addition to the software of a phone came out really, really well. It's not a perfect phone, and there are some subjective issues that might put users off, but if you're looking for what you could ac...

Google Assistant is the first voice assistant that really works. You can't take a bad picture with the Pixel. So what if it looks like the iPhone? The iPhone looks great, and so does the Pixel

A friend of mind once told me that if you want to find a good pizza place, the best way is to order just a plain cheese pizza — no toppings. If a place can nail down the basics, you know that anything else you throw on top is just a bonus. That's how you...
Unique design with a build that feels even better than the Pixel XL, Snapdragon 821 Nougat = silkysmooth performance, Battery life isn't just good, but could even beat the Pixel XL, Welldone camera makes it easy to capture impressive pics, Pixel Imprint f
Display in need of a brightness boost, A little on the thick side for a phone this size, No waterproofing/dust resistance
It's been a rough few years for users who prefer smaller smartphones, and Google's last five-inch model was introduced all the way back in 2013, with the Nexus 5. But now with the Pixel, Google's really offering shoppers a no-compromise handset that's sti...
