Claims of water resistance, unfounded.
This would be a great phone, had it's claims of water resistance been true. The phone was under less than half a foot of water for 2 seconds and the device sustained water damage. Google customer services unhelpful and unwilling to take any responsibility. Phone manufactures shouldn't even be allowed to claim water resistance if such claims are not true. Terrible legal loophole which derives them of any responsibility. Have been a loyal Google customer but will not purchase another of their phones. Do not buy this phone.

Beat Android experience. Good phone.
Online money endorsed reviews are mixed yeah but a lot of people don't get it. We aren't talking Ferrari or Lamborghini of the phone world here (all numbers and flashy design).
Pixel phones are the Volvo or Audi of the phone world. Reliable, solid, simple executed design and most importantly the best Android experience you can have.
You get the latest Android OS and security updates and from my experience over the years the smoothest running phone over time.
I had an LG V40 phone and Galaxy before that. Both slowed down, both updates stopped and overall the skinned Android OS just got to me.
The battery in my XL easy gets me through a day and I get around 5-6 hours screen on time. Only thing I have switched off is ambient display.
Camera still takes the best overall shots. Wide angle cameras are overrated imo. Ability to zoom and compose a shot as any photographer would tell you is the most important. And unlike the iPhone 11 they put one in the dual system. But it would have been nice to have it as an option like the 11 pro.
Screen is brilliant and natura.
I absolutely love this phone and would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the slightly too high a price at time of review.

Great phone, but nor perfect.
I bought this phone because I like having stock Android. I was worried about battery life after reading several reviews but so far, I have had nothing but a good experience, easily lasting the whole day on a single charge. The Soli radar with Motion Sense, is a complete waste of time though. It works intermittently and serves no real purpose. It does however make face unlock VERY fast. Which brings me on to the next point. I miss the fingerprint sensor already. Very few apps on Android work with face unlock as a way to sign in. Banking apps are now more tedious than they were before. The screen is good but not overly bright. It reacts well and is silky smooth with 90hz mode enabled. The camera is excellent and has taken some lovely photo's in the short space of time that I have had the phone. Build quality is the best I have seen on an Android phone, it is easily up there with an iPhone. Overall I am very happy with the phone so far.

Absolutely Brilliant!
This is an outstanding device with the support of Google software. Don't be put off by the - slightly lower than average - 16MP camera because that resolution isn't even viewable on any smart phone (it's far above 4K). The 90Hz display gives you the most smooth experience you can imagine. Even the processor is the latest and greatest - most definitely future proof. Without going into detail, it's almost impossible to describe the power of this device. It's the most beautiful phone I've ever seen. I couldn't recommend this more.
