I've owned Samsung products for the past five years, beginning with the Galaxy S3, then the Note 4, and finally the S7 Edge. I was happy with the S3 and the Note 4, but the S7 Edge was terrible.

I literally lost my job because of this phone. Second day on it, I found the setting to have the phone vibrate when getting a phone call is off by default, even if the phone is set to silent. I missed some important phone calls.

Pixel XL has some solid hardware packed in a sweet and simple exterior casing. Only issue with the phone was with its inbuilt mic which stopped working after two months of the purchase (not from Amazon). HTC is the original manufacturer and it took a week for them to "repair" the phone.

Smoothest device I have ever owned. The only thing I can complain about is it's not waterproof. I went from the Note 7 to the Pixel XL and haven't regretted it at all.

Everything

Not waterproof

Google is finally taking the smartphone fight seriously, launching two new handsets with one simple message: Pixel, Phone by Google. That might sound like a slightly gawky message, but it's laced with potency.
