Google Pixel XL review: 10 key takeaways

Google has been making the Android ecosystem that has served as the backbone for some of the most successful phones out there: from the Samsung Galaxy series, to LG's G family, HTC's One devices, Motorola's Moto devices, and many others.

None of them, however, seemed to be a perfect platform for Google's Android, and that's why this year Google itself has decided to build a brand new phone that will be just that.

An all-around Google phone

The 5" Google Pixel and 5.5" Pixel XL are exactly that: devices where Google makes not only the software, but has complete control over the design and hardware. Up until now, this has been Apple's biggest bragging right: its iPhone had both its software and hardware made by one company, perfectly optimized for all sorts of added efficiency.
