[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LimitsX:
You're post is just ignorant. It clearly shows that you're a samsunk fanboy lol.

Firstly, all the features you listed for S8, are mostly gimmicks.

1.) Curve display is NOT practical. When you are viewing media in horizontal position the top and bottom curves are cut off and there is glare on those curves. Secondly, the side black bars kick in, so those pixels are useless.

2.) Pixel XL has best display with brightness in sunlight too. I played with it too. S8 isn't that brightest from my experience.

3.) That certification means nothing Lol. Samsung paid them money which they get it off consumers with higher price and its just marketing.

4.) No device can't be water "proof". You clearly need to learn some physics and chemistry here. Device is water resisted for certain length and for a limited time. Dust resistance is only rated.

5.) This Grolla Glass 5 is just bs. All of these version scratch easily. In real world, it breaks and scratches easily.

6.) Wireless charging is only useful for few people. Pixel XL charges pretty fast. When I had S8, it was charging fast, but not that fast :). G6 charged faster tbh.

7.) You get 128GB model for Pixel; which is faster and better.

8.) Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, S8 has the WORST camera and quality pictures. Many thorough reviewers have shown this already. Pixel XL with HDR takes BEST detailed low light pictures, and any other lighting conditions. The colours are clear and more real. S8 saturates and washes out the colours. The pictures look cartoonish. Pixel XL lacks OIS, but it is the best camera currently, even S8 can't beat it :). Pixel has better sharpness.

9.) there are no Bluetooth 5.0 devices and when they are available, the higher price won't justify many common users to purchase it. So there is no use of it.

10.) Always on Display is on Pixel, it can be added. There is the downside of battery drain.

11.) Lol, only select cell phone providers can take advantage of LTE; 4CA. Maybe one carrier in USA and other world's country. Pixel has LTE; 3CA, which is great. Also, the amount of data that will be gone given how much bandwidth is allowed. So not much advantage.

12.) Not everyone, majority of people care about Samsung pay tbh. It's still a minority of people.

13.) This is the most flawed and useless feature ever. Also, there are side-effects to your retina while using this. Again, it is for stupid sheeps to buy into this type of security.

14.) Lol, any serious person would never use these heart rate monitor. They are never accurate. Plus, your health data is stored into samsung servers and such.

15.) This desktop experience is not even ready. There are many bugs and apps not working properly.

16.) Bixby and its pathetic button there.

Pixel XL is great phone. I never had battery issues. I never had network issues. I never had call drops or signal drop issues. I have been samsung user since S4 days and let me tell you one thing. It is a piece of crap device. I had serious signal issues with WiFi, Cellular Network, slow speeds, lagging, and crap battery. The current S6 device, I have ZERO LTE bars. I had dropped calls, and couple of times I can't even hear the other person's voice. There are times when I needed to make a call , but couldn't. S6 has a known weak network signal issue. I can't even get Wifi @ 5GHZ on S4, S6, and same issue with S8 lol. Even 3T device could easily connect to 5GHZ wifi at the same location with full bars. Pixel XL had the best reception and signal strength. S4, S6, and S8 are the worst.

I have more exposure to samsung devices. What you said is just utter nonsense.

Pixel XL is still an amazing device and you won't be disappointed.
