Pixel and Pixel XL:

Pixel 1st GENERATION

Google announced the first generation Pixel smartphones, the Pixel and the Pixel XL,
on October 4, 2016 during the #MadeByGoogle event. Google emphasized the camera on the two phones,
which ranked as the best smartphone camera on DxOMarkMobile with 90 points until HTC released
the U11, which also scored 90 points. This is largely due to software optimizations such as HDR+. The Pixel
phones also include unlimited cloud storage for pictures on Google Photos and, for devices purchased
directly from Google, an unlockable bootloader. In 2019, a class action lawsuit over faulty microphones in
some devices enabled Pixel owners to claim up to $500 in compensation.

Conclusion & End Remarks:

Today’s review of the Pixel 5 wasn’t the usual full-fledged piece we’d dedicate to Google’s year devices, with the goal
of the piece more towards making sure we’ve covered the phone ahead of the flurry of new generation devices that
are coming next week. That’s a pretty stoic take to start the conclusion of the Pixel 5 with, but I think that’s also the
general correct conveyance of my thoughts on the device.

The Pixel 5 is generally a good phone. The highlights of the device are its unique build and materials, with the plastic-
coated aluminium frame giving the phone a unique feel that’s actually breath of fresh air in a market of glass
sandwich phones. Google’s approach and industrial design here I think are a success – both in terms of build
materials and also the general simple but very functional design of the phone.

The device is a smaller form-factor, and most importantly very light-weight, something which is becoming
increasingly rare in today’s industry trends. The company also doesn’t compromise on things such as battery capacity
even though the Pixel 5 is of a diminutive stature, and the long battery life is actually also one of the highlights of the
phone, addressing one of the important problems that had plagued the Pixel 4.
