What do you love about your Pixel?

The Mrs was kind enough to bring mine up to the hospital so I can play with it a little bit. First impression-this thing absolutely flies! I've never seen a phone come close to this kind of speed. Quite impressive

Can I get some input on the LED notification light... It's a huge reason I stayed with android after the note 7 debacle... I love the one on my s7 edge just wondering how the pixel one is compared to that

Works great. I use Light Manager to adjust the colors with corresponding apps. Has full line of colors. Its bright(not too bright) and blinks very smoothly.

- Fast! Hands down the fastest/smoothest Android phone I've used. prior to this I had the HTC 10, Note 7 and before that the Nexus 6P. The Pixel beats all of those in speed and smoothness. It's excellent.

- Camera. I was a little worried that no OIS might mean the camera might be good, bit not great...buy was I wrong. The camera is ridiculously good. Easily better than the HTC 10 and better than the Note 7. Seems like every shot it takes turns out excellently.

- Clean Android. It feels like light software even though it may not be. Very easy to use, no hassles, minimal tweaking/setting up required. Fast and really well designed.

- Battery life so far seems to be great. I'm on 43% Battery and have 3h50m screen on time, which is excellent for me. I have the Pixel XL and it seems extremely good on battery life.

- Screen is gorgeous. Sharp, beautiful colours which pop but aren't over saturated. Outside visibility is good, but I have seen other phones which have better max brightness for better sunlight visibility. Thankfully, I can wear my polarised sunglasses and it won't make the screen unviewable (ahem HTC 10)

It's just a fantastic experience, which is impossible to explain in text or to see in videos. I think this is the only Android flagship that performs like a flagship. There's a substantial difference between this and the other 'high-end' phones on the market.

Ok everyone is saying fast camera. I need to see this in action. Can anyone take a video or point me to a good video that shows the fast camera in action?

Pretty much every hands-on video from the Google event had the tech bloggers mashing the shutter button a bunch of times. There is no lag. The camera is extremely fast, and there is no lag for taking HDR shots either.

Fingerprint support seems to be on more apps.

You can search videos for that. The whole camera experience with the phone is great. Fast to load the app, the shots are taken instantly and the results are great.

This phone is great. It reminds me of my 2013 Moto X. Small, quick, functional, but with all the updated bells and whistles.

Beautiful implementation of software and hardware compatibility to make an enjoyable user experience.
