What's wrong with the design exactly? I think it looks pretty nice.

nexus series phones are manufactured by other companies for google, i think with this phone google is manufacturing it themselves
HTC is actually manufacturing the Pixel

Yeah, it looks pretty nice.

It looks good, but the name is kind of handicapped
pixel is my dog's name >:(

I could understand naming a phone 'pixel'
but why a dog?

cant wait for the smashing videos on youtube

didn't this already exist as the nexus, or am i confused??
yes, it did
it's basically the Nexus 7 but renamed

my family is a bunch of loving nerds and my dog is a dalmatian

i feel like google would have superior connection. this could be the best buy for bigger cities with fiber

ah

looking at the currently released specs, the pixel xl seems like a slightly smaller 6p with a 65% price hike

honestly yeah. It does have google assistant, which is nice, but it's not worth the price jump.

If I can find a new Nexus 6p for $400 in the next few weeks, I'm going to get that. If not, I guess I'll get a oneplus 3.

I like the way it looks and such, just hopefully it'll actually have a good camera, front and back (aka someting greater than 5 MP on the selfie camera and 10+ on the rear camera), and have decent hardware specifications and hopefully a model with on-the-phone buttons (like samsung and LG phones)

I'd get it tho if I could


Why does it cost 2x as much as my nexus 5 did??? Did they go insane or something?
