    Returned My Pixel XL

    The halo isn't the only problem with this phone in my opinion...The phone has an inferior EIS which is not as good as OIS, the reception in metal buildings isn't that great either when my iPhone 7 Plus can run everything smoothly even if the whole building was made or metal. The home button on...

    Note 7 vs iPhone 7 Plus

    The navigation bar on the Pixel annoyed me and took up screen real estate, whenever I got a message there would never be a number hovering above the messaging app to let me know how many unread messages I had, the halo effect in the pictures I had bothered me, also I used the phone on a table a...

    Note 7 vs iPhone 7 Plus

    Ya it does charge slower than the Note 7, but the battery life is just as good... Which is impressive as the battery isn't even 3000 mAh

    Note 7 vs iPhone 7 Plus

    You must have got a faulty unit, the speakers on my iPhone 7 are not only louder but clearer as well,

    Note 7 vs iPhone 7 Plus

    I've been an iPhone user for years and have never been inticed by an Android device... Until the Note 7. I loved the phone so much I even gave it a second chance after the first recall, but after the second recall I knew it was over. I gave the Pixel XL a chance but it didn't feel premium and...

    Returned My Pixel XL

    The iPhone Camera and the Pixel camera are on par with each other for the most part, but the iPhone camera is slightly better as it has the dual-lense for clarity upon zooming, OIS, and a lessened halo effect. It also takes better photos in low-light conditions.

    Wow. Pixel XL reviews are up. Looks good!! Anyone thinking of getting this

    Got the Pixel XL in black... Returned it within three days. The phone feels cheap and not premium, also the lenses flaring/ halo problem everyone is talking about with the camera shows up way too often in my photos. I went to the store and picked up a Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus from the store. It...

    Returned My Pixel XL

    What I really wanted was to keep my Note 7, it was the best phone I ever had but I had to send it back and get a replacement because of the recall and then THAT got recalled. The Google Pixel XL seemed like the next best new thing but the halo/ lenses flare issue was too real and in my face. I...

    Returned My Pixel XL

    Halo effect is unacceptable for a phone that price, got the iPhone 7 Plus.. Much happier.

    It Doesn't Show Me The Number Of Unread Messages I Have

    Usually there were would be a number on top of my messager icon showing how many unread Messages I have but not on the Pixel, is there a way around this?

    What Replacement Phone Have You Decided On?

    I just brought back my Note 7 and picked up the black Google Pixel XL from the store. My two complaints are the navigation bar taking up previous screen real estate, and the halo effect/ lenses flare issue that is being talked about which I am experiencing in photos. I like the fingerprint...
