i have it for few weeks and i love it so much :laugh:
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Eutility:
I really like it, love the Really Blue color which is my favorite and suites me. Not sure why it is limited to 32 GB but it is worth it to me to have the blue. I don't like the speaker being speakers plural but really is minor for me. The shiny back part is alright, pretty sure they made it like that for brand recognition. You can see any phone is a Pixel when someone takes a picture or holds it in front of them.

Mine is locked , Im not impressed at the price point. I dont like the huge bezels, the lack of stereo speakers. Oddly I didnt think the nexus 6p was particularly good either. I think of the bunch I prefer the nexus 6 all things considered.

But I think the fact is locked is the killer. I only paid 350 for it and im still not happy with it.

Its blasphemy but I feel like once Android gets locked down enough ill switch to apple.

My device also micro stutters at times. Im starting to think Google will never get android 100% smooth

I have pixel xl with GPS navigon, today I used 10 minutes and the phone boiled (very hot), has anyone had a problem these ????
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] xiaomishmiaomi:
I had an issue with the first one I had with the screen coming away from the body. Whether that's a manufacturer's defect or an issue that could present itself across the board I'm not sure. It's certainly not terrible, but there are other issues like the back glass getting scratched up far too easily too. I just expected more for the price that's all.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] nl1010:
I'm having the Pixel XL for a short time now, but this is really the best Android phone I've ever had!

I had many Nexus phones, but the Pixel XL is the best!

Battery life, camera quality, build quality, all top notch!

I'm running the developer preview 3, Android 8.0.0 now, and up till now I have not many problems.

Only the Ziggo Go app, live TV view is broken, streaming to the Chromecast Ultra works fine.

And in Gboard, Vibrate on keypress doesn't work always, sometimes it's not vibrating when pressing a letter, very annoing, so I turned this off for now.

Anyone else has this?

But overall the best smartphone!!

THE best Android phone!!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] housepabldroid:
Finally i have the best Google's smartphone ever!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] 3aucla1r3:
It's a little more of a challenge with flashing ROM, Root, Kernel but it's as smooth as silk, very responsive to touches, fast, it's without a doubt the best Android that I've had. I have an iPhone 7 plus as well and it's hard to tell that one is better than the other with speed, smoothness, touch response, camera, etc. The thing about the Pixel is that you get all that and highly modifiable/customizable along with it, which isn't true with the iPhone.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] berry_lthird:
I must admit: I wasn't too impressed with the Pixel XL at first, especially having previously owned the Nexus 6P. But after a few weeks of daily driving, this is hands-down the best Android phone I've ever used!

Loving the overall stability and battery life!!!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] trxrider31:
Thank you Google for a great phone!

I work on zero turn mowers and was testing one I just repaired when.............my beloved Pixel XL slid out of my plaid shorts pocket and landed rite in the ditch full of (thankfully clean) water. I had done no research into my XL's water resistance capabilities up to that point. The XL stayed powered up until I was able to get off the mower and rescue it, then turn it off. I went into the shop to look up the information. Thankfully, Google put some "water resistant" coating on the innards that saved my precious XL. (I also found some really amazing vids on the tube of ppl drowning this thing, and it never misses a lick.) Up til this now, every time water touched any device I had, it was curtains for the device. The only thing that bothered me was the external speaker sounded muffled for a while. I thought it was ruined but once it dried out, it was good as new.

I am unhappy with 2 things;

#1 - The back square of glass has broken somehow. I have had an Incipio Dual Pro case on it since about a week after purchase. Of course, I have, on occasion, dropped it. Usually off of my lap when getting out of my Nissan Hard body, not very high, truck. I am just surprised that the front screen didn't break first. I found it when I removed the case to clean it. So I have no idea when or where it happened.

#2 - NO SD CARD SLOT!!!!!!@#%*@$?????

That said, my XL has held up nicely for a years worth of use. It looks better, has longer battery life, and doesn't seem to slow down as much as my past phones did. Since I retired my beloved Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I have been a fan of the LG phones, starting with the G2, but being an Android Junkie, I could never pass up a Google phone.

Bottom line is that I love this phone. I still run the factory ROM, rooted. Today may be the day that I install TWRP and get to flashing. Summer is a busy time in the south for a mower repair technician, but the weather is beginning to cool down.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Fouad Aslam:
Is it worth it to buy the Pixel XL today?

Hi folk. I wanted your opinion regarding buying new XL now. I have an old Nexus 5 (screen busted n the N6 so went back to my N5) that I wanted to replace. I wanted to buy the 2XL but it seems that it is a lottery with the screen at the moment; a very expensive 800 GBP lottery at that. I checked it out in EE store and the blue tint is bothersome although quite variable between phones.

I am thinking of buying the original Pixel XL, new with warranty and wait to see what Google comes up with next year. I just wanted to know your opinion on whether it still makes sense to buy the XL today a full year after its release? I think the up to date system and stock UI are good pros while the dated looks and bezels are obviously not great aesthetics. After 4 exclusive years with Nexus family its very difficult to go with other OEMS like Samsung, Huawei etc. One plus 5/5T maybe good but I honestly dont trust them anymore.

Apologies if this is the wrong section to post this in.

Thank you
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] dictionary:
I just came here from an n6. Wanted the 2 XL, but same concerns. Got this and love it. Honestly though, the 5T looks like it might be a fantastic device, and they are more Nexus (OnePlus) than Pixels are. Very slow development on this end thanks to Google. You won't be sad getting this device though, it's fantastic
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Fouad Aslam:
Thank you for the reply. Just the kind of reassurance I needed :)

Yes the only thing with the original pixels is probably the huge bezels that are old school; what with the new phones supporting the hot new edge to edge design language. That and the "old" SD 821 perhaps. But I think it would still be plenty fast and better than the other OEM offerings. A simple and fluid user experience is very important for me.

You are right, the 5T probably would be a fantastic device and not much more expensive. Google however will provide OS updates for XL till Oct 2018 and security patches till 2019, cant say the same for the OPO though. So I am guessing the pixel XL offers more peace of mind than others.

Thanks again, real user opinions are so important. Much appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Bruce lee roy:
Had this phone for about 6 months before returning for a complete refund due to defective speaker issue. I actually returned 2 units before fighting with Google for almost a month before they gave me a full refund. IMHO the device isn't worth the asking price. Device is fast and fluid in the software side but the hardware is second rate.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] skooter32:
I bought this pixel XL 3 days ago 2nd hand. I ******* love it. Being 2nd hand and a year old i managed to get 9hrs of non stop phone in hand usage and 4hrs of that was spent on Tombola ??. The size is perfect for me and my big hands. The rear fp sensor is annoying with trying to get an accurate read of my finger. Scrolling Awesome!! Speed apps open is bloody fantastic. See for me because I am poor i buy mid range jobbies. So having last year's flagship smartphone from Google is amazing I am well happy. I of course have had many smartphones and every single 1 i have booted and rooted. For this awesome and beautiful gadget that I am writing this superb review have no reason to at this moment or foreseeable future unlock the bootloader and root. Stock Android excellent!!! 10/10. Best smartphone I have ever had the honour of owning. Thanks Google and thanks to you for reading my FANTASTICAL review!!!!!!!!!! ???
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] :
Bought the device month ago, in overall a perfect device. Bought 128gb model. I can manage to use it for 4-5 hours screen on with quite heavy usage for me. I came from Nexus 6 and the speakers were a disappointment for such an expensive device, they are easily muffled and there's only one of them, but hey, we have a headphone jack. Fingerprint sensor is fast, but it fails quite often when you have wet-ish hands, not really phones fault. Pixel feels premium, but it's slippery so that premium feel gets hidden under a case (from day one).

Haven't even tried custom rom, I am on unrooted stock, and it's one of the reasons why I bought Pixel, so I wouldn't have to mess with custom roms. (gonna flash one when support ends but until that, hello stock)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Carball0:
Amazing overall experience

I bought this phone a week ago and I can say that it is the best I've had until now.

It is the smoothest phone I've ever laid my hands on. It boots up in a matter of seconds, the apps get installed instantly, there is no delay anywhere and it runs on a pretty stock Android without any useless apps or custom launchers. Along with a good battery (5 and even 6 hours o SoT time), it makes having this phone a great experience.

The camera is just perfect: along with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, it shows us how a one camera setup can beat a dual camera setup and how you're better off with a good one-lens camera than with a dual-lens one.

Despite having people that don't like it, I think that the design is good, and you feel the premium design when you touch it (proper from a high-end phone).
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] se7enlyn:
you bought it new or used?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
I received my Pixel XL on the 22 of May and so far I am loving it! Great phone! I think like the other guy, it feels premium!

I am a long time addicted flasholic but this phone holds me from even unlocking it. I love the stock experience. Android in its purest form was always what I wanted from any phone.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] se7enlyn:
great , but is it a new unit or a used one?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
It was new. I bought it for 394 on Amazon. It's the 32 GB version of Pixel XL tough. I can easily get 1 Day (24 hours) of battery with over 6 hours of SOT.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Carball0:
I bought it new on Amazon for 399
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] krabban:
im between Pixel xl, OP6 , Lg V30, Galaxy s9.

but ill think im gonna go with the pixel because its so good pricing now =)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Yousvel:
I don't regret moving from OnePlus 5 to Pixel XL.

It's been a great experience!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] krabban:
sound good , and another good part free google foto until october 2021
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Ariozo:
Even if the First gen Pixel XL is "old" and big/bulky..one of my favorites. :)

Have the Pixel XL2 and it´s great, but the display could be better. Even use/have the s9+,One+6,utc12+,ipX,8+..

But i always go back to my pixels, and i am one of them who don´t need Wireless charging or water resist much.

So for the price you can get a First gen Pixel XL now is very good, faster than many of my "flagship" phones after much use. :)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Bryanx86:
I love my pixel XL. I reflash new every month, and every month is like getting a new, fast feature-full, themeable, rootable, custom kernel having supercomputer. I don't think I'll be needing anything new for until some new feature pixel 3 or 4 comes out. Never thought I would love this phone coming from the 6p.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] dondian:
With all those Pixel XL discounts (mainly in US), anyone has any good tips on where to find cheap new-ish in EU? After back luck on 6P, and backup Shamu also dying,.. I want to try Pixel XL before going to Pixel 2 XL (also I want it for low price) ;)

Amazon, ebay,.. what else?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] DanielMod:
I bought around a week ago from that listing on eBay (was 180$) with free shipping to my country at leaset.

Now he bumped the price to 200$ (still great deal).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Unlock...var=452912045877&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

He also sent me some pictures of the phones he own, they look brand new as he stated.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] kkloon:
Best phone I have ever had, always up to date Android version, never failed me, not freeze on me once, battery life being excellent, no gimmicky stuff (eg notch or rubbish like that). Had this since launch week and never even thought about having another phone. Having said that, maybe Pixel XL3!? Lol...
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] L.F.B.:
Still good in 2020? Ive found almost new in the box! Its worth it?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] rodken:
It's worth it.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
You're a power user. Can the Google Pixel XL keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Google Pixel XL. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Would you say that the Google Pixel XL is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Google Pixel XL exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] iceman4357:
Fastest phone I have used
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] novazx22:
Much faster and smoother than my Note 7.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] jackdforme:
Like how it always should've been
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] robamacaf:
I have tried 5 different phones in the past year. Everything from LG to Samsung to Apple. I really loved the Samsung Camera but it always had something I referred to as the Samsung Lag. I've had the S3, S4, Note 4, Note 5, S6 and S7. And all the phones seemed to have it. It was just a noticeable lag in everything that you did. Almost like it was running out of memory. The longer I use the phone, the more it builds up. On my S7 Edge I have 10 GB free, I try to reboot, etc. But it's always there. The quick double press to open the camera takes 3-4 seconds. Switching between apps takes a few seconds.

I am glad to say that the Pixel has none of this. It's like buttah. This is the first Google phone (including Nexus) that I've ever owned and now I know why they are so popular. It's hard to explain in text, get your hands on one and try to slwo it down. It's close to apple, which for anyone who has used both before, knows that is high praise. (Apple is amazing with the fluidity of their phones)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Schnabe:
Faster than any other Android phone I've had, coming from a Note 7 and S7 Edge.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] wase4711:
faster than my nexus 6, for sure
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] juliend:
It's stupid fast.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] carajp:
Astonishingly fast and really smooth. Fastest phone I ever had. Coming from a Note 5.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] AstroDigital:
Two years and an better processor makes a huge difference. Played games on the Pixel XL that slowed my Nexus 6 to a crawl.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] bartolo5:
Beyond fast. After two days still zero lag every single time. Zero. Amazing.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] stch7299:
Super Fast coming from note 7 and S7 edge replacements. Love it.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Jrgom:
So far in your opinion, how would you say this matches up to the note 7 overall?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] kenifer:
Agree !!! no lag super fast, so far help me look past the inferior screen and appearance of the phone when compare to a Note 7.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] montydrei:
Coming from a Nexus 5 running CM 13 nightly. The Nexus 5 had been running incredibly smoothly of late, and I was actually a little worried that I wouldn't notice too much of a change with the Pixel XL.

Holy wow, was I impressed. I have been running the phone non-stop, browsing all kinds of ad-heavy pages, playing several games per day and navigating for 2+ hours last Saturday. No lag at all.

Unrelated, the battery life has been impressive, too. Mostly browsing and playing games yesterday, it went from 97% to 70% from 7:40 AM to 5:30 PM.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] crowsnestitsupport:
Coming from a bunch of phones... OP3, HTC 10, iPhone 6s+, iPhone 7, Nexus 6p and others..... The Pixel XL easily beats them all in any speed category you want to try.. the iPhone 7 might look better on a bench mark but in real life this pixel smokes it!! really really impressed!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] stch7299:
Pixel XL

If you dont need the stylus it is way faster, more responsive. I actually like the size better than the note 7. I have big hands and the note 7 was harder to hold for me. The note 7 also started to get noticeable screen lag after 2 weeks and got worse as time went on.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Jrgom:
Awesome, thanks.. Still trying to find a phone after turning in my note 7. was looking at the pixel xl and v20, leaning towards pixel
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] wase4711:
well, if you are into custom roms and such, the Pixel is an easy choice; the LG phones almost never get rooted, and very little, if any dev on them...
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] mrgwap03:
Fast af. Very impressed with this phone
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] clapper66:
Nice and quick for me coming from a nexus 6, and if you want to make it faster either disable or speed up the animations :victory:
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] alpilindau:
Fastest Android! Very smooth device. Coming from an Iphone 7 Plus. Apps are faster on PXL then the IP7. Only in Benchmarks is the IP7 better.

I love this device :)

But why is the snappy 821 only clocked 2.15 Ghz? Did read that it got 2.4 GHZ
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] EdCarden:
Yeah. I also came off the Note 7, and while it was a great phone, it didn't even come close to the Pixel in terms of speed and responsiveness. I think the Pixel smokes every other Android phone available. I've experienced 0 lag so far, and I've never had an Android phone that didn't stutter or hiccup occasionally, even right out of the box.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Shrews824:
Fast as lightning and smooth as silk. By far the fastest phone I've ever used.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] bc14nj:
Completely agree. Smoothest Android experience I have ever seen.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] nabbed:
Comparing Pixel XL to Note 7 is like comparing a Tesla to a Lamborghini - sure, Tesla is a bit quicker but it's still a Tesla. Except for the price, of course.

I'm sad because I'm on a waiting list to get Pixel XL to replace my Note 7.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] recepo1:
Had alot of phones OP3 by far smoothest and fastet but the Pixel smokes it in daily use speed?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] in_dmand:
it's crazy it's so fast... and this is with the 821 cpu throttled?! I'm thinking our devs will release the full potential of the 821 in the not to distant future :)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] crowsnestitsupport:
No offense, nothing against the OP3. Fantastic phone for the money.. this isn't to say the OP3 is slow but rather to say just how fast/smooth/fluid/stable the pixel is.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] recepo1:
No offense taken i was asking if the pixel was faster then the OP3 in daily use...
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] cmhjr:
Just a reminder, there are 2 version of the 821. One for efficiency and clocked at a lower frequency. The other clock to the higher frequency.

Guess which one for the Pixels.

http://www.xda-developers.com/a-loo...he-snapdragon-821-in-the-google-pixel-phones/
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Blues-n-Blazin:
That was what made my decision to get the ZenFone 3 Deluxe Special Edition easy. This thing flys with the SD821 at full power. 156K on Antutu with bloatware disabled. I am jealous we don't get nougat yet, but we will soon enough.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Alula:
yes,support!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] darlawilson87:
Google Pixel

i buy one Google Pixel XL is Fastest phone I have used.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] hypnotiqphil:
I'm really impressed with the speed and battery life of the XL. I can from a nexus 6 to s7. This phone is a lot faster then both of my previous phones. :good:
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Emerald Core:
what about gaming ? high quality 2 GB games ? any stuttering or weird lines ?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Mr.RS4:
My Pixel XL are in mailbox, and waiting for me to come and get it. Looking forward to it.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Emerald Core:
Congrats and let us know about the gaming speed.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] nandu12:
It is the most best phone...instead of half scratch resistant in the back panel ..they should have put it for full back pannel:):)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Logan3824:
With custom kernels and time, would it be possible to boost the clock speed back up to 2.35ghz rather than 2.15? I'm still rocking my note 3 and really looking for a new phone, but it seems a waste of potential just for a little better battery life.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Majin101:
The speed on this is no joke. Fastest Android phone that I've used.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] angka8:
I have many Android phone. None is near to it speed. Note 7 no where near.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] g00s3y:
One month in, all stock software, no mods, nothing different about the phone at all, other than the android build from day one. And EVERYTHING is still just as quick and snappy as it was the day I got the phone. Touch it, it does it. Take a picture, still instantaneous.

Android users finally have a phone where we can say "it just works".
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] N8tdog:
Fastest phone ive used! Used to own the s7 edge.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] rhayat21:
I think the speed of the Pixel XL is OK. With a Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset integrated on such a middle level phone won't disappoint your day-to-day digital needs.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Bruce lee roy:
I'm curious how much faster the regular pixel is to the xl given its lower resolution.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] JonnyOctagon:
I absolutely agree with all the posters above. I've had every Note since the original, as well as the S7 Edge and this phone is by far faster and smoother then any of them. Goes to show the unreliability of benchmarks when assessing every day use (Note 7 has higher benchmark scores, I believe, prior to exploding)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Paz9:
can you please elaborate

the article says the pixel/XL is using the lower clocked CPU
