If you've formed an emotional attachment to the Nexus brand, it's time to say goodbye.The Nexus line is dead, Nexus 5X and 6P pulled from the Google Store. But this is good news - the legacy continues with the Pixel, a collaboration between Google and HTC, the same team that brought us both the original Android phone and the first Nexus.

Two phones - the Pixel and Pixel XL - cover the bases of size preference, 5" and 5.5" respectively. Both have AMOLED screens, with 1080p resolution for the small one (441ppi) and QHD for the big one (534ppi). Battery capacity is also different, 2,770mAh and 3,450mAh.

Beyond that, both Pixels are more similar than they are different. Qualcomm supplied a revamped chipset, the Snapdragon 821, Android 7.1 Nougat (yes, a point upgrade over what the LG V20 has) brings "sustained performance mode."

The camera boasts the same excellent qualities we loved on the last (ever?) pair of Nexus devices - 12MP sensor, 1.55µm pixels, f/2.0 aperture. But it adds Electronic Image Stabilization, which Google demoed on stage and looked pretty impressive.

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL have the same storage options - 32GB (for those that use Google Photos and Play Music) and 128GB (for those that prefer their data offline). By the way both Pixel phones get unlimited Google Photos storage for photos at full resolution.

Both come with 4GB of RAM - one better than the Nexus 6P, nothing extraordinary though a clean Android OS runs leaner.

While HTC built the phones, the Pixels branded only with the Google logo. And they are loaded to the teeth with Google services that cover everything from messaging, through cloud services to AI assistants. The search giant has a growing stable of self-branded devices - the Google phone can connect to a Google router and cast to a Google media player, you get the idea.

The Pixel brand debuted with the best Chromebook money can buy, then ventured into Android with the Pixel C tablet, clearly, it's a premium brand by Google. And the two phones are priced accordingly - they start $649 and will be available through a bunch of carriers and retailers. Check them out below. UK prices are £599/£699 for the 32GB/128GB Pixel and £719/£819 for the 32GB/128GB Pixel XL.

Pre-orders in the UK, US, Australia, Canada and Germany have already launched and in India will start on October 13, with actual sales beginning a week later, October 20. The phones will be available in Quite Black, Very Silver and Really Blue colors with the latter being a US exclusive.
 
I like it. I really want the Pixel C tablet though, but $600 dollars is just little too expensive for me.
 
the phone looks pretty cheap compared to its price, One Plus 3 remains the best

Its too expensive and people used to prefer google nexus phones because they were budget devices which were giving excellent software experience. Now when these google phones are in same price range as Samsung and apple flagship then i dont think people will opt google when they have better alternate so its very poor decision
 
it looks like a freaking iPhone and don't even talk about the price tag but the specs are really good but the phone is too expensive for my pocket :cry:. rather go with iPhone 6s or Samsung s7
 
Anyone up to buy a Gurda, need to sell one to buy this phone.
 
looks ugly! Nexus phones are better!! they still gonna continue Nexus line right??

why you planning to take this phone in your grave after selling two kidneys ?
 
trust me dont bother just samsung s4 it does most things except they took radio out but i have pocket sony radio so am ok.

i bought all nokias back in the day trust it same recycle crap, with cheap lithium instant die batteries.

why cant they mak one decent phone with very low radation, am fm world band, gorilla screen, oled or the latest, screen resolution i am not sure but heard sony is best, true water proof, battery changable, internal parts like nokia, such as charging port, earphone jack etc can easily be replaced just by picking it out of case, built in digital tv,

wouldnt it be great if you can upgrade processors , memory, ram etc like computer.

maybe it should have built in uvc bulb for water purification, night vision, gps, thermal heatseeking, maybe even water tester for quality.
