Pixel or Pixel XL?

[grover5]

I ordered the XL silver 128 GB. That's as small of a screen as I think I can go.

I like the idea of the Pixel XL.... After having the Nexus 6 everything else seems tiny!

Pixel, if I do it, but I have an HTC 10 and I just think it would be a downgrade. The HTC 10 has been fantastic so far.

It is definitely a downgrade. You would lose the great audio, sense UI, fantastic build quality, bigger display, and the SD card. the Pixel is much worse than the HTC 10.

I think the XL.

I always tend to go for the bigger phones coz fat thumbs am gutted I've just upgraded to huawei p9 as this pixel has really grabbed my attention.

I definitely have got to go XL. Big screen means way more functionality for what I do on the day to day. Loved the Nexus 6 mostly because of its size

Well if I had to choose between both I'd go with XL. But it really depends on what you use your phone for. I found that once I got a bigger phone it was hard to go back to a smaller screen, everything just looked ridiculously tiny.

I think i would go for Pixel, because i like smaller, compact phones. And this one is not only small, but also a beast. Plus, it would have a great VR experience.

Going for the xl simply because of better battery and processor. Last year I bought the nexus 5x to save some money and I should have just dished out the difference and bought the 6p to begin with.

They have the same processor.

Neither. If they offered a pixel XXL (or 3XL) I'd consider it. I'm just so used the the size of the nexus 6

After two years of Nexus 6, I'm quite tempted by the small pixel. I'm a bit worn off by having a huge phone. But I'll hold off until I hear reports about battery life, and I guess until the pixel is available in my country - which may very well be never.

Pixel for me no question. I'm not a fan of big phones.

For reading, watching video, and playing games I have a tablet and don't need/want to do that on my phone.

 

[meesemouse]

Personally I like smaller phones, so the normal pixel would work for me.

There are only 3 differences between the two pixel models.

Screen size 5" vs 5.5"
Screen resolution 1920x1080 vs 2560x1440
Battery size 2770 mAh vs 3450 mAh

Everything else is identical. So you really don't sacrifice any performance by getting the smaller version.

Re: Google Pixels

Not any more than any other flagship. The free Daydream headset adds a ton of value as well.

Head over to VRHeads for more about Daydream!

Pixel XL for sure. I'm using the HTC 10 and the size feels right.

I love the size of my S7, but have used a friends S7 Edge and had no issues with it. Ultimately would not be able to choose based on just numbers, I prefer to be able to actually hold the phone in my hand to make the determination. May stop by a local Verizon store to check them out, but do think the Pixel XL wouldn't be a bad choice.

Definitely XL
