Google Pixel and Pixel XL: totally designed by Google

With a first look at these two flagship, the polished aluminum makes the two smartphones significantly outstanding. The front and the upper part of the back are covered by shiny glass. Besides, the curves and wedges on the sides would make it easier to handle for users. The rear camera lens lies flat with the surface, unlike recent phones with protruding rear cameras. Those first impressive features obviously make the two phones look delicate and sleek.

The Pixel and Pixel XL come with 5 inch and 5.5 inch screen respectively, with AMOLED screens in 1080p resolution for the smaller one and QHD for the big one. Battery capacity is also different, 2,770mAh for Pixel and 3,450mAh for Pixel XL. Apart from those differences, two new flagship share similarities. They are powered by quad-core (2×2.15GHz +2×1.6GHz) Snapdragon 821 SoC. Both phones house 4GB RAM with either 32GB (for those that use Google Photos and Play Music) and 128GB (for those that prefer their data offline), both non-expandable unfortunately.
