Google’s New Larger Flagship Smartphone - The Pixel XL


The Google Pixel XL is the larger brother of Google's flagship device - the Google Pixel. When it comes to design both phones are identical. The build is a mixture of aluminum and glass.

Google Pixel XL smartphone was just launched this month and the handset boasts a bigger 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels at 534ppi. Unlike the Pixel, the Pixel XL has a Quad-HD display, which is almost the same as the Nexus 6P but 0.2-inches smaller, and the current standard for a flagship phone nowadays. 

The Google Pixel XL is powered by 1.6GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and it comes with 4GB of RAM. The phone packs 32GB of internal storage cannot be expanded. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Google Pixel XL packs a 12.3-megapixel primary camera on the rear and an 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies the same as its smaller sibling.


Another difference between the two flagship phones is the battery. The Pixel XL comes with a beefier 3450mAh nonremovable battery compared to the 2770mAh battery of the Pixel. This means with the bigger battery you also get a longer battery life and with the improvement and integration of Doze in both phone, this shouldn't be a problem at all.
