Unfortunately I agree its mediocre at best. I miss my Sony Z3C which would last 2 days with the same usage as my Pixel. Pixel at 34% coming off charger 8 hr 30 minutes ago. Although 3 hr 30 minute screen on time,46 minutes on phone, Google app used for 2 h 17min and 6% yikes.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] n00bpwner:
compared to the galaxy s6 i had before it is amazing. and charges fast fast fast
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] boojay:
Agreed, exact same situation and experience (concurrent Z3C user), except I'm probably getting even less screen time with the Pixel than you. These oversized "flagship" phones seriously need a boost in the battery department.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] gautigreek:
Battery is not very good i am a power user at 100 percent i start my day at 6 am at the battery dies by 3 pm. i am rocking Android o beta now

I happy with quick charge hope it can get me throw a full day on the stable android o version.

I've got a replacement Orbit on the way to replace the previous one that died. Am planning to put the touchflo ROM on it and as I'm being paranoid want a method to check 100% that I've successfully CID unlocked it with Pof's tool.

How can I check?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] petervbeck:
if your spl is 1.11 you should be CID unlocked....

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Google Pixel's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
This phone really excels in this. With heavy usage, it's a good battery. With light usage, it's otherworldly. The doze feature is no joke!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] eniux:
I can only agree with the above. I get 1 or 2 % drain overnight with everything on. I stopped charging my phone overnight.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] JJT211:
Yea I can easily go 2 days b/w charges with even above average use.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] con4n007:
Yup, without gaming and light use, i can easily get over 24 hours.

And just like the post above me, i also stopped charging overnight

Is the Google Pixel as good-looking as you are (despite your receding hairline, adult-onset acne, and massive weight gain)? Rate this thread to express whether you think the Google Pixel is attractive. A higher rating indicates that you would even go as far to say that the Google Pixel is a beautiful phone.

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] dispatch:
Overall 4.5 stars, the white face of the phone looks a little yellowish to me. Although I love the blue back (despite the glass being an odd choice), the yellowish white front makes me wish I'd ordered a black version.

EDIT: And whoever was in charge of the notification LED should be fired. Just all-around terrible and a complete misstep considering the size of this Pixel's bottom bezel/chin, where it should've been placed instead of the tiny corner of the earhole speaker.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] matrix0886:
Yeah, I remember reading a review where the guy said there was no LED notification. But then I saw a video where a guy pointed it out.......and how f*cking small it is!!! My S6 LED will light up the room. The one on this phone looks wimpy. But i'll have mine in my hand tomorrow so maybe it won't be as bad as it looked on the video? (don't ruin my dreams, lol)

As far as looks are concerned, I don't care what a phone looks like. I'm just gonna throw a case on it anyway, lol. All I care about is the software and internal hardware. The outside of the phone means nothing to me. I would rock the world's ugliest phone if it had great hardware and software. I don't care if the phone is beautiful or ugly or looks like an iPhone. None of that matters to me. It's what's inside that counts :P
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Saikrishnakatakam:
:\ Meh
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Pr.TOSHIBA:
It is a bit too close to the iPhone. Basically can't tell the difference between the two if looking at the front (especially from a distance). That being said, I love the look of it.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] kalimerobleu:
Parfait ou presque de loin le meilleur Google depuis mon Google One !
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] loopism:
Understated, but gorgeous. I thought it may be too boring at first, but it's really growing on me.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] subhani:
I think it is an ugly rip off of the iPhone. The iPhone being a very attractive design anyway, means the Pixel isn't doing too bad. The two tone back is gross. What idiot designed the back? The front is very attractive, but the glass doesn't round off as smoothly as the iPhone's does, or that on the S7 or honor 8.

The size is brilliant and I wish it were even smaller.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

I quite like the notification. I have to say, EVERYTHING I disliked on seeing online, has instantly grown on me. Just a solid total package device.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Abelu:
Yeah Google Pixel design is innovative in today's smartphones, and the finish seems tougher than regular unibody design. But personally I feel weird to the design, it looks unfinished.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] dragonchild66:
undecided

I've read a few reviews on this phone now and it seems to have a lot of very cool features and the idea of getting preferential software updates is a bonus.......and the pictures look crisp and high quality.....but i'm not sure if its really going to be worth the money (^_^)
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] blueghost003:
I'm really wanting to get the Pixel...its one of the nicest Android phones out...the design is great in my opinion. just can't seem to get off my iPhone.

any note worthy accessories that come with this phone?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] dragonchild66:
Well the only thing that looks like it would be really cool to me is the VR headset they will be releasing at a later time. With the high definition provided by the Pixel it looks to be one of the better phones for VR. For me though the promise of preferential android updates way ahead of anyone else is a selling point ?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] X-weApon-X:
YES! Google has put out iPhone-looking phones before, like the Gphone:

[IMG="Google Gphone"]http://cdn.ttgtmedia.com/ITKE/cwblogs/read-all-about-it/gphone.jpg[/IMG]

Were these re-branded HTC Desires? Similar, but not close.

My good friend's daughter had one, I loved the keyboard that slid out. I had heard it was kind of inconvenient because of no OSK. I had used a Palm Treo for about 3 years, then I was given an original iPhone 2g, I have to admit I was hooked on the Treo's physical keyboard and "Blackberry" look. I knew where all the buttons were and I never had to look at it to type. I really missed this with iPhones and newer Androidevices. I guess all new phones owe some kind of design to iPhones, but I like that some makes try to veer away from that with wrap-around screens, and the huge rectangular all-screen ZTE ZMAX. If the Note 7 had been less, well inflammatory...

Has anyone seen the 6 X-Files episodes from earlier this year, they were using a few propotypes, there was one episode where a woman pulls out what looks like an iPhone, but it's an android OS. I think it was the "bandaid-nose man" ep, a woman takes a call on what looks like a Pixel phone, but it had an iOS statusbar. Then she plays "Downtown" on it while getting crammed into a trash compactor. But the front face was more like the Pixel. They may have been using an i6-style clone or a regular branded Goophone.

This video was floating around the end of 2015, showing a modular idea, but it was never to be made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnaBvyB_Uhg

But this page shows a side-view of the Pixel phone, it's less like the iPhone 6x models and more like the iPad Mini design, with that beveled slant, my ipad Mini does that, my 6s does not:

The i6 doesn't have that, the screen is placed right on top of the case:

[img="Side view, iPhone 6"]http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/iphone-6-review.jpg[/img]

I think I like the Pixel's design in this respect, much better.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Jaxidian:
That phone with the physical keyboard was the T-Mobile G1, made by HTC. This was the first Android device *ever*. Initially there was no OSK but that came pretty soonish. When it came out, it was the only touchscreen smartphone in existence that supported widgets and had robust notifications. It was pretty cool at the time. I think it was also the only 3g touchscreen smartphone at the time as well.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] rcintorino:
I just got my pixel yesterday and my initial impression was that it looked like an iphone. I was a bit peeved because I ordered the silver phone, and the front and half the back is white. but I decided I didn't care because I was putting it in a case anyway so....What's up with the back half of the phone anyway why couldn't they keep it all metal? maybe RFID reader wouldn't work under metal?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] X-weApon-X:
&quot;Look&quot; of the device (aesthetics)

I think that's another "iPhone emulation" thing because the iPhone slate gray models have the black face and the silver and rose gold etc. models have the white face. Previous to that with the iPhone 4s for example, maybe iPhone 5 as well they had either black or white in which case the front and the back were white or black and no other colors.

Starting with the 5S Apple started doing this thing where you could get silver gold and a couple of other variations in color, rather than just black or white. And then of course starting with the 6 you had four different colors I believe, three of them having the white touch screen. And then the whole 5C issue, the plastic iPhone I've never really seen anybody using those but I think those had several different colors too, and the whole device was that color. But that whole thing about the front of the device being white or black depending, that's completely an iPhone thing, I don't know why google would want to do that but I kind of like it and I like the way the pixel phones look, it's kind of like a duotone thing.

It would be nice if you could order the pixel phones in other customized colors I don't know if they will do that though.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Yeah I remember it because iPhones were brand-new and then suddenly this G phone thing came out and Steve Jobs was pissed, and went ballistic. I had never seen a real iPhone at the time, then my friends daughter whipped out the phone like is in the image and I thought wow, I actually would have bought something like that had either money at the time. But then my brother bought an iPhone and he gave me his old Treo 650, which was a great phone until my cat pawed it, and somehow broke the H key on the keyboard. That was when my brother had finally bought an iPhone 4 and gave me his original, that's when I got hooked on not just iPhones but all smart phones. That was just about six years ago and things have changed so much. My first ever cell phone was a little piece of **** Siemens phone, I didn't even use it that much except that I had a phone when I was out. Eventually Cingular gave me a better fliptop Motorola phone, and then they gave me one with the camera and it even. Actually I dug those phones because they had a little music box built-in and you could create all these weird drumbeats and you could slide sounds around and make a little songs it was great. All I remember is between 2002 and 2008 or so, there wasn't really that much change with the cell phone market except with a few of the high-end phones like the Treo, and not very many people but those because they were really expensive at the time. But then when the iPhone came out and then the androids, there has been a an explosion of smart phones the likes of which will probably never end. And these things aren't phones anymore my iPhones and my androids are part of my home network and I can hook into it even when I'm not at home.

That's why security is a pretty big issue with me too.

Sorry for the tome!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mnguyen127:
I actually purchased the phone largely in part due to its aesthetics. I actually enjoy the design of the phone: the chamfered edges, the two-tone back, and the clean front. I'd probably give it a 4.5 out of 5. There are things I wish I could change, but they're so minor, that they border on nitpicking. I wish the proximity sensors were aligned to the right of the speaker to give the front a better sense of balance. I wish the phone didn't taper downwards and was instead uniform. And I wish the glass panel on the back was made with a tougher material. It makes me a bit nervous how easy it seems to scratch according to other reviews (I've decided to put a naked skin on the glass panel of mine). Aside from that, I actually like the fact that it looks like an iPhone? I know people find that alarming, but I think older iPhones had some of the cleanest industrial designs, though I've since lost interest in the design ever since the inception of a camera hump. Oh, and this is a weird one, but I hate 2.5d screens. Those curved edges really make it difficult to add a screen protector, and I personally don't think the curve contributes very much to the overall feel of the device.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] X-weApon-X:
Chamfered Edges, that's what I was trying to think of, I love that!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Noorullah65:
Very Smart
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] alluliwi:
I have the little pixel and it reminds me so much of a metal version of the Nexus 5. Love it! It's sexy, but terrified of scratching it.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] queerquirks:
That 2.5d screen really screwed up alot of sp and manufacturers.

Honestly I didn't even know it had this curve, didn't notice it in reviews, didn't see anything when physically checking. Until I asked for a sp to be applied did I then learned from the seller about the curve. Wtf?

Now I have 2 bubbly halo sides while not being fully covered.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] fix-this!:
just got mine today, financing through verizon but using on my at&t. couldn't get the XL as they are backordered through mid january :(. got the 32gb white and its a very nice device. also just ordered a spiegen case to protect that slippery back.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] kevin_ngo88:
Yup, the material is easy to get scratches
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] DXM31:
Too much wasted space and too much like and iPhone. I didn't order one until kind of late(for me anyway), but order one I did. I prefer the looks of my Nexus 5 to the Pixel, the rubberized back, wireless charging(are you listening Google). But the LG V20(sprint) has a locked down bootloader as does the S7 Edge, so I got a Pixel by default. What I really really want is a Xiaomi Mi Mix, but nooo.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Note10.1Dude:
Better phone than my Nexus 6, better screen, better size in the hand, but not a better shape in the hand or better looking overall. Comparing the Pixel to an original Moto X (4.9" if I remember correctly) The shape and hand feel are better on the X (and the X is much shorter). On phone design, Google did a better job the first time they were designing phones. On the insides, Pixel does it all better and is a keeper for a 5" phone.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] nizarnoor:
I really like the size. I think it's just the perfect size for me.

I used to hate the two-tone back, it thought it looked stupid. But now it's grown on me. lol
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] kevin_ngo88:
I use a case to cover ít back. It look terible
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] rohitbaata:
Guys, it's GOOGLE they have worked hard on creating the phone and needless to say i have heard a lot of positive reviews of the phone. If you talk about the looks then its 5.5 inches which would be a problem while handling the phone, you need to buy a wallet case for your google pixel so that you can be sure that it is safe from getting damaged.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mobile_sensei:
Waiting

Ordered mine today, Paid extra for the unlocked version. There will be tons of development for a long time to go.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] rcintorino:
Officially they say they're only supporting it for 3 years
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
I really like the two-tone back, actually. The phone looks way better in person than it did when I first saw photos online. However, it has taken time to get to this point of me liking the look - it was not immediate. I'm wondering if the software makes the hardware look even better by being so amazing... Not much different that a girl who looks better due to a great personality. :D

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] loopism:
Premium, good weight in the hand, no mismatched edges to catch. Love the texture difference between the volume rocker and power button.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] subhani:
I would say it feels like top quality materials. One may feel that to touch, it resembles the back of the second generation iPhone.

It feels full/dense and no creaking comes from it as it doesn't flex.

The weight is just perfect t for the size. I am thrilled by it.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] firejackson:
My only issue with the feel is how slippery it is I can barely hang out to it
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] br125:
The phone feels great overall. Can be a bit slippery, but after using a nexus 6, not hard to manage.

The rear glass on the other hand is scratched quite a bit after about a week of use and has a small crack near the corner opposite the flash. The phone has not been dropped or used in any harsh elements. Debating sending it back and ordering another as a small crack usually turns into a big one eventually.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] exad:
This thing is really well built. I have the black pixel and all I have is a screen protector on it. I've dropped and banged this thing against other solid things quite a few times already and this thing doesn't have a scratch on it. I'm actually really shocked.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Bxrider117:
I find this phone to be solid. The build quality is very good. I had the Samsung S7 prior to this and I felt I could never carry that phone without a case. This phone I feel I can get away without a case but it is slippery so I have it in a case but I may just get a skin in the future.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] aerosmith:
it is a useless phone. The materials used were good but that is about it. When it comes to hiring engineers they have a interesting/challenging interview process and when it comes to their products it is like their engineers just sit and fart. What a shame on this pixel phone. But really impressive hardware which has nothing to do with google (it is qualcomm's 820 reference design).

1. The center of gravity is on the upper half of the phone where it has a natural tendency to flip outside the hand

Something like a buttered toast always falls face down. I am not sure why the phone manufacturers do not make it a point to have the center of gravity to the lower-middle side of the phone.

2. There is a lot of bezel. The amount of bezel at the bottom looks ugly

3. The cables that come with the phone are c-type on both ends. They should have been USB on one side and c-type on the other. If that was the case I could have simply used the USB wall sockets I have installed in the house already

4. The adapter takes only c-type.

5. And the phone is very slippery. Try holding it with dry hands and in cold weather. Guaranteed for a drop.

6. They couldn't have made an L-shaped adapter? The adapter when plugged into the wall occupies more space horizontally. So, if the wall plug is behind a night stand or a bed or furniture, forget about plugging it there. The furniture needs to be moved just because of this one adapter.

Good:

1. Only the software and hardware specs are good. But do most of the phones these days come with the same specs
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Rickyzx:
The front is glass, with a lot of space above and below the screen. The spec sheet lists 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4, but curvature at the edges is extremely slight. The back and sides are a single metal frame except for a large patch of glass on the upper third of the rear.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
Very, very premium feel. I love the cold metal feel on the back and the texture on the power button, in particular.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] benhaube1:
10 out of 10. Most premium feeling phone I've had.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] HunterKurza:
Amazing feel in the hands. Little cold if you pick it up after leaving it on a table for a while because of the materials used, but a cool phone is better than one that overheats.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] subhani:
Really feels great. The small form factor is the new black. Perfect size to wait balance. The added girth of the phone actually helps the palm WRAP the mobile better. The trick of cold but smooth metal is very reassuring.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] scottjb:
It feels like a high quality device but it is slippery. Sometimes feels is if it's going to jump out of my hands! I think it's a little too big for its screen size--bezels are a little too large.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Pr.TOSHIBA:
I like the size. I wanted the XL but got the 5" because of price and I'm glad I did. Seems like a perfect fit. In photos the device always looks really thick, but it does not feel thick.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] oldtimer42:
I have the 5" Pixel and find it great with no case (naked joke incoming). I wish I didnt feel it needed a case. The metal would survive some roughness but I dont think the glass would.

I'm coming from a Sony Z3 Compact and don't find it out of proportion or too big. It's an adjustment but love the extra screen size. Miss my 2 day battery tbh and my waterproofing.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] King p1n:
Great.

Million times better than the HTC 10 which I also have

Not too heavy, tall or wide.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] omegear:
Yeah it feels amazing but I'm afraid that it'll slip from my hand sometimes :P
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Niyhtt:
Personally the "One-hand feel" is great. I'm coming from a HTC M8 and it's fairly close. I've never had problems switching songs on the go, or using it while walking.

The only issue I've personally experienced is with how you have to hold it when playing a two-handed landscape game. The speakers being at the exact bottom make it so you have to hold it awkwardly as to still hear the sound - unless you're using headphones in which now you have an AUX plug in the way for one hand. It's not a deal-breaker, but it was a factor I've run into.
