Pixel and Pixel XL are Android smartphones designed, developed and marketed by Google. They were announced during a press event on October 4, 2016, and serve as the first smartphones in the Google Pixel hardware line, succeeding the Nexus line of smartphones. On October 4, 2017, they were succeeded by the second-generation Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

The Pixels have an aluminium chassis, with a glass panel on the rear, a USB-C connector, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a 12.3 megapixel rear-facing camera. At launch, the devices featured certain exclusive software features, including the 7.1 "Nougat" update to the Android operating system, integration with the Google Assistant intelligent personal assistant, live technical support services, and unlimited full-resolution Google Photos backup for the life of the device.

The Pixels received mixed reviews. They were called "the best Android phones you can buy" and received praise for camera quality and performance. However, they were criticised for their high prices and lack of waterproofing, and some critics noted design similarities to Apple's iPhone. The Pixels have suffered from a variety of issues after release, including excessive optical lens flare in pictures captured through the rear camera, connectivity issues with some mobile data bands, unstable Bluetooth connections, unexpected battery shutdowns, and failing microphones. Google has acknowledged and released fixes for most of the issues.

History

Google previously co-developed flagship Android devices with original equipment manufacturers through the Nexus program, which were designed to be "reference" devices for the Android platform, but the devices retained similarities to other devices made by their respective partners.[4] Rick Osterloh, former president of Motorola, joined Google as its senior vice president of hardware in April 2016,[5] and Google initiated development of an ecosystem of in-house products and platforms, including the Google Home smart speaker, Google Assistant intelligent personal assistant, and Google Daydream, Google's new virtual reality platform built for Android Nougat.[6] The Pixels were announced on October 4, 2016,[7] and serve as Google's launch devices for Android 7.1 "Nougat".[8]

Osterloh said in an interview with The Verge that "a lot of the innovation that we want to do now ends up requiring controlling the end-to-end user experience". The Verge wrote that the Nexus program had "fulfilled its mission", with a Google spokesperson stating that there are "no plans" to make another Nexus device.[4] The Pixel was designed by and is marketed as being a Google product; although the company used HTC as a contract manufacturer, Google has said that the Pixels are not based on any existing HTC device.[4] It offered Huawei the contract to manufacture the devices, but after Google refused to dual-brand the phone with credit to the manufacturer, Huawei declined the offer.[9]

In the United States, Pixel is exclusive to Verizon Wireless and Project Fi, but also available direct-to-consumer via Google's online store[10][4] or from Best Buy.[11][12] In the United Kingdom, they are available direct-to-consumer via Google's online store, and through EE, and Carphone Warehouse.[13] In India, they became available for preorder from October 13 from Flipkart, Reliance Digital, and Cromā,[14] with general store availability on October 25.[15]

On October 4, 2017, Google announced the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, succeeding the original Pixel devices.[16] The Pixel and Pixel XL were removed from the Google Store and discontinued on April 11, 2018.[2]

Specifications

Hardware

Pixel uses an aluminium chassis, with a glass panel on the portion of the rear housing the camera and "Pixel Imprint" fingerprint sensor. The phones have a USB-C connector supporting USB 3.0, for power and data exchange. The phone features a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which received media attention for being a contrast to competing smartphone Apple iPhone 7, which does not feature the port.[17] The Pixel and Pixel XL both use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 system-on-chip, with 4 GB of RAM.[18][19] They are offered with either 32 GB or 128 GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage.[7]

The two models are differentiated by screen and battery size; the standard Pixel's display measures 5 in (130 mm) 1080p AMOLED with a 2770 mAh battery,[20] while the Pixel XL's display measures 5.5 in (140 mm) 1440p AMOLED with a 3450 mAh battery.[21]

Pixel features a 12.3-megapixel rear-facing camera, which uses an f/2.0 aperture, and a Sony IMX378 sensor with 1.55 μm pixels.[22] The camera uses a digital image stabilization system tied to the phone's gyroscope and motion sensors at a sampling rate of 200 Hz.[3] To improve capture speed, 30 frames are continuously captured per second while the camera is active. When a photo is taken, up to 10 of these frames are composed to form a single image.[23]

Software

The Pixel and Pixel XL shipped with Android 7.1 "Nougat", an update to 7.0 that was initially exclusive to the Pixel. Android 7.1 was later released for some existing Nexus devices in December 2016, but certain features remained exclusive to the Pixel.[8][24][25][26]

Pixel supports Google Assistant, and provides live technical support services integrated into the OS. Similarly to Nexus devices, it receives Android updates directly from Google.[7][27] Pixel also supports the Google Daydream virtual reality platform.[7] All Pixel smartphones include unlimited full-resolution Google Photos backup for the life of the device.[7][23] A November 2016 update added additional motion gestures, including double-tapping the screen to show alerts, and raising the device to wake the screen and raise-to-wake features.[28]

Google states on its support pages that the Pixel and Pixel XL are guaranteed to receive new Android version updates until October 2018, and guaranteed to receive security patches until October 2019.[29][30] In August 2017, Google released Android 8.0 "Oreo" for the Pixel and Pixel XL.[31] Android 8.1 Oreo was released for the Pixel and Pixel XL, as well as some other devices, on December 5, 2017.[32]

Cellular networks

All Pixel and Pixel XL models are multi-band devices.

Reception

The Pixel and Pixel XL received mixed reviews. Dieter Bohn of The Verge said the Pixel smartphones are "...easily the best Android phones you can buy" and gave the product a 9 out of 10, praising its long battery life and Google Assistant integration. However, Bohn did not like its pedestrian design and lack of waterproofing.[37] Matt Humrick of AnandTech praised the camera being flush with the body, but was critical of the price, stating that Nexus fans who were looking for a more affordable option would be disappointed.[38] Chris Velazco of Engadget praised the build quality, camera, and performance, but criticized the high price, and lack of proper water-resistance present in rivals, such as the iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7.[39] Writing for Ars Technica, Ron Amadeo said of the phone, "[it has] unbeatable software and support with a great camera, wrapped in a familiar exterior."[40] Zach Epstein of BGR wrote in February 2017 that "There’s also no question that the phones feature a design that is sleek and impressive, yet all too familiar. Yes, that’s a nice way of saying that Google blatantly ripped off the iconic design that Apple has used on its iPhones for the past three generations."[41]

Sales

In June 2017, Ars Technica reported that Google Play's app for the Pixel Launcher, an app pre-installed on all Pixel phones, had been downloaded between one million and five million times. Although the report acknowledged the measurement's imprecision, the publication credited it for providing the first possible sales numbers.[42][43]

Issues

The Pixel and Pixel XL have exhibited numerous problems since release, including:

  • Rear camera producing excessive flare[44] (partially fixed in an update to Google's Camera app)[45]
  • Bluetooth pairing and stability problems,[46][47] (fixed through an update to Google's servers in March 2017)[48][49]
  • Connectivity problems with an LTE band[50] (partially fixed with the release of Android 7.1.1 in December 2016)[51]
  • Security exploits[52][53]
  • "Bubbles" forming under the phone's display[54] (with Google replacing affected units and launching an investigation into the issue)[54]
  • Audio distortion and harsh clipping at maximum volume through the phone's speaker[55] (partially fixed in a February 2017 system update,[56] and later also addressed in the Android 7.1.2 system update)[57][58]
  • Random software freezes that leave the phone unresponsive for a few minutes[59][60] (fixed with the June 2017 monthly security patch)[61][62]
  • Unexpected battery shutdowns[63] (with Android 7.1.2 fixing the issue)[57]
  • Synchronization issues with Apple MacBook computers, reportedly due to an outdated synchronization program Google has not updated since 2012.[64]
  • Failing microphones, as a result of a "hairline crack in the solder connection on the audio codec", with Google announcing a replacement program[65][66]
  • The update to Android 7.1.2 "Nougat" reportedly broke fingerprint sensor functionality on many devices.[67][68]
  • Issues with properly backing up the devices, with failures of SMS, call history and apps. Google is reportedly looking into the issue.[69][70]
  • The update to Android 8.0 "Oreo" reportedly caused repeated reboots for some Pixel users. A bug report was filed with Google, though the issue was tagged with "Won't Fix (Not Reproducible)"[71][72]
