What would you change about the Pixel and Pixel XL? [Poll of the Week]
July 04, 2025
If you were one of the first to pre-order aGoogle Pixel or Pixel XL, you might be lucky enough to receive your new device later this week. If you didn’t place your pre-order yet, you’ll have to wait much longer… like,4 or 5 weeks.
No matter if you’re a fan of these devices or not, the Pixel and Pixel XL are two of the most controversial smartphones Google has ever produced. Compared to last year’sNexus 6Pand5X, the Pixels are pretty expensive with the base model device starting at $649. Many of our readers also argue that the lack of a proper waterproof rating is a major downside, and some also say the overall design isn’t too impressive, either.
Sure, no smartphone is perfect. But with the laundry list of gripes many of our readers have with these phones, there are also some pretty great features we can’t forget to bring up. Not only do they runAndroid 7.1 Nougatout of the box, they’re also the first phones with theGoogle Assistantbaked in. And while we’re still looking forward to testing out these devices in full, DxOMark claims they have what could bethe best smartphone cameras ever.
So now that we’ve had more than enough time to think about these two phones, we want to know – what would you change about the Pixel and Pixel XL? Did Google go crazy on pricing this time around? Would you have preferred a more unique design? Be sure cast your vote in the poll below, and if there’s something you need to add, feel free to speak up in the comment section. We look forward to hearing what you have to say!
