If the often maligned but underrated LG G5 is my #1 favorite smartphone ever because it has every feature I want, then the Pixel is like my #1A. I really do prefer using this phone right now. I also like that Verizon didn't brand the phone on the back. I see no boot up animation from Verizon or any of their bloat. Works wonderfully with T-Mobile.
I just updated to 7.1.1 and love the double tap to wake. My lockscreen wallpaper says Google with a black background and the home screen says Android in black as well. I want it black since OLED. Even my SwiftKey is a black theme. The effort of waking it while seeing Google and then Android, sliding up for my app drawer, and locking it is just so SEAMLESS. Smoother and quicker than any iPhone I ever used too.
I also didn't expect to use Google Assistant alot but I do especially to make calls, open my Gmail, check weather, or find addresses. Believe the hype. It might look ugly with a weird back and too much top and bottom bezel, but it delivers in daily performance. Will probably go XL with a Pixel 3 since typing on 5" can feel cramped after using 5.3-5.5".
This is a great phone, folks. Don't judge a book by its cover. The price might be a bit steep but it isn't like every Nexus device was inexpensive. Nexus One was priced originally at $530. Nexus 6 and 6P were $650+. A 32gb iPhone 7 is priced similarly. Google doesn't want to associate Android as a poor man's iOS and wants to show it fast ajd fluid unlike Samsung's skin.
The quality is there especially inside the Pixel where it truly counts. People who judge this phone based on design or price but never actually owned it yet is similar to Luke Skywalker prejudging and underestimated Yoda early in The Empire Strikes Back. That is why THEY FAIL.

Getting the silver/32gb of this model right now. Will use it as a backup to my silver G5. I love Android and want both phones to have great cameras which they do. I also prefer the size of the 5" Pixel. Give me a month to give it a decent synopsis of this Pixel. The first, true branded Google phone! To think differently and try to be unique, avoid Apple and Samsung. Go Google!

I realized it isn't the height of the phone that makes it feel bulky but the width! My taller but narrower LG G5 feels better in the hand thanks to the width than my Xiaomi Mi 5. I have a Note 3 which isn't that much taller than my G5 but it is quite wide and just doesn't feel right in the hand for me. That few mm difference can make all the difference!
The SE is just way too narrow for a comfortable keyboard. I did see the Google Pixel XL for the first time today at Best Buy. I actually like the hand in feel with it better. I would get the "5 Pixel but probably will wait for it in 2018 when Android turns 10. The Pixel 3 with Android Pee... Ahem, Android Pie. And P is my favorite letter of the alphabet because that's what my first name starts with and I love the p in women. Pie lover.
I think the Pixel might have been the best overall Android from last year. This is pure Android at its finest. I think a white Pixel would work well with my silver G5. I would have two phones that not everyone uses and I get the best Android experience with two of the best cameras from last year. But I shall wait for the Pixel 3 with Android P. Special 10 years of Android with my favorite letter of the alphabet and dessert from women. I love me some pie filled with cream.

Pixel is the best Android phone because of the perfect software. But for 700-800$ it's a bit overpriced considering the hardware. Pixel 2 should have a more original design, better choose a aluminium unibody than glass panel with aluminum, stereo speakers,6GB of RAM and 64GB or storage, OIS and f1.7 aperture on both cameras, autofocus on selfie camera, water resistance, 5.2" screen on the same footprint(no fancy G6 or S8 bezeless design, just 5.2" on the same dimensions) and bigger battery, like 3000-3200mAh. If Pixel 2 will have all of this (it can have them with Google's will, no miracles out innovation like on G6/S8) I will give 700-800$ for it.

This Google pixel is the best android phone I ever had. I have no complaints about anything. It's fast, its powerful, it last, the sound is strong, it's resistant it's slim and doesn't overheat . Best camera in town for such small megapixel, not as detailed as the Sony Xperia but way better taking in consideration it own half the megapixel. The splash resistant and dust resistant is not fake, the glass is strong. This is the perfect basic phone with all the normal features you would like to have. If you prefer more slim and accessories go for the moto x, if you prefer bigger go for the iPhone 7 plus. But at the end, pixel is the best overall

Leaving aside the performance, Camera and Batter life, here are 6 reasons to not Buy Pixel/Pixel XL in India:
1. Apart from Camera and Battery life there’s nothing great about the phone.
2. There will be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Network connectivity issues within 2 months of purchase.
3. Due to Pathetic quality of LED and Panel even using a basic silicone case leads to Discoloration.
4. Despite so many issues, the service center will not provide with a replacement unless the phone is entirely dead and cannot be repaired within 14 days from the date of purchase. And the reason behind this is, Google doesn’t sell these phones directly, they sell it through Third party resellers and thus the 14 day clause, which is not mentioned anywhere. But this seems to be an eyewash and the real reason is unknown.
5. When the phone is submitted for service, since it’s a sealed phone from all sides, they heat the LED and apply pressure on the sides to get the LED out of the Panel, which leads to more damage on the Panel due to pathetic quality of the paint used on the panel. But the service center or Google Support know this, they will never accept it, as the damage can always be dropped on the customer on the grounds of “AESTHETIC ISSUE”.
6. Proper answers will never be given by Google support or the service center. They are trained to put the blame on the customer and to make the customer run from pillar to post that will make them energy less so they can finally accept the faulty product as there’s no other option left, since selling the product for a dirt cheap price isn’t something anyone would be willing to do and Indian judicial system isn’t great at supporting the helpless consumers.
So if you’re ready to go through the turmoil just to have a good camera and a decent phone for 57000(basic Pixel 32 GB) and above. Please go ahead.

A Royally Disappointed, Exhausted Ex-Google Lover
