  • Google's Pixel XL priced like Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, but it lacks numerous key features

    Another important feature Pixel misses is it does not have a Google Care like the Apple Care.  Does it? 
    Yes you can buy the Apple Care equivalent for it.

    DXOMark has lost all creditbility.

    Timing the release of their review of the Pixel is obvious they worked together to get maximum buzz.

    Pretty pathetic. 

    Its painfully obvious that DXOMark got a nice fat paycheck from Google for that high review
    Enough already, you guys always come up with conspiracy theories anytime something favours someone other than Apple. If DXoMark had given the iPhone the highest you wouldn't be saying the same for Apple. It could just be that overall the Pixel did take great photos.

    I don't disagree with most of the comments here but Google is a huge brand name and people who are content with "good enough" will buy these phones and not care about duo core processors. This product is not a threat to the iPhone as it will eat up some of Sammy's business. If Google were serious about making a go with this phone they would pull support and all future development of Android from the clone makers. Alas that would kill all that yummy ad money from those devices. What to do.......
    Good enough?

    People who want good enough don't buy phones that cost $650-$869.

    This Google phone would be okay if it started at $399 

     Beat me to it except I was going to say $300. Android users are very cheap they could get "good enough" iPhoneys for 50 bucks. 



    Except that the phone is worth much more than $300. 

    If Android users were so "cheap", why is the Samsung Galaxy S7 selling so well? Some people do want a good quality phone and not everyone wants an iPhone.

    Why would someone buy a phone from a company who makes most of their money by selling your private data -- unless that phone was really, really cheap (cheap as in "free")?
    .
    I stopped trusting Google when they drove around in their map cars collecting thousands of TeraBytes of private WiFi data -- and then claimed it was the work of a rogue programmer and they didn't know he had done it (even though those thousands of Terabytes remained on their servers!). 
    Because Google doesn't sell your private data. They sell advertising spots to advertisers in front of potential target markets. There's a huge difference. At no point does your private data leave Google's hands into anyone else's.

    Google deleted all the wifi data that was accidentally collected.

    "Conflict of interest" because The Verge is paid by iPhone knockoffs to bash Apple.
    Are you joking? The Verge never stops praising Apple.
