Pixel or Pixel XL?

[Uttam Chakma]

pixel xl... daydream is too good to resist.. QHD display ... 4k videos ...someone just give me a Pixel already

 

[Josh Rayner]

Would love the Pixel XL but it's way out of my price range now. The nexus price point was much better suited for me.

Usually I would prefer Pixel over Pixel XL, however this time I may wanted to try out XL, it's really attract me.

qHD is a complete waste on a 5" screen... It could even be debated as to it's worthiness on a 5.5" screen. Think about it for a second. Most people do not have 4K TV's and even those who do, 4K content is limited.. We view 1080p happily on a 60" TV but get upset when a 5" screen is 1080p?

Now VR wise maybe 4K is better. I don't know and can't really say until I try VR out on the 1080p 5" Pixel..

I agree. Especially with that battery. It would just suck the life out of this phone. Yeah, obviously, it would look sharper. But unless you are putting them side by side or something, you'd be hard pressed to really notice much of a benefit to it. The resolution is perfectly fine for a 5 inch phone. QHD, while better, is complete overkill and not necessary. And add to the fact that both phones have exactly the same processer, Pixel is going to be better performance wise.

5-inch panel sounds much better for me. Pixel is definitely my choice

A performance difference between the Pixel and Pixel XL I think will be very negligible if there even is one it wouldn't be noticeable.

Pixel XL ist better .

So - considering my options now. Have used larger phones for the past couple of years now, but am seriously considering the switch back to something in the 5" or less range.

If you had your choice, what would you go with? The Pixel or Pixel XL?

I did that. Had the G3 (loved that phone) but went to the S7. Yes the phone isn't THAT much smaller but it made a difference, that being said I do sometimes miss the big screen.

Shot in the dark but does anyone know if the pixel/xl will be available hopefully discounted at Gitex? its coming up in Dubai soon and i am currently here.

XL showing out of stock in the Google Store now...in both storage sizes and all three colors.

I currently have a Nexus 6P which is way so big for me, every time I sit with friends, I have to take it out of my pocket and put it on the table, which might look weird. So my next phone will definitely be the smallest of all and in this case, since Pixel and Pixel XL have same spec I would definitely go for Pixel.

 

[Nathan R]

I would try the Pixel XL after using the N5X.

 

[Joel_I]

I'm staying with my current 64 GB Nexus 6P for the time being, but if I had to choose, I would have to go for the XL. I've gotten so use to the size of bigger phones, I'd feel like a giant holding a smaller phone! It's nice both Pixel models start at the sweet spot of 32GB and the bump-up to 128GB is a nice bonus, and with most of the same specs on both variations. 32 GB in Quite Black would suit me.

Re: Google Pixels

So who else is excited about the new Google phones. I am stoked for them but they are a bit pricey.

Do you think that the price would drop on Black Friday ? Because on planning to get it on November 25th

Better get the 128gb, 32gb won't be enough

 

[Trigati]

128 GB black XL would be my choice.

 

[Antonio Gardner]

Pixel XL for me

 

[sed51329]

Sell it at all carriers

Please explain why 32 GB will not be enough? Photos and Videos back up to cloud full resolution, music and videos are streamed. IPhone users lived with 16 gb's for years.

It's the Pixel XL for me !
