The Key Differences Between Google Pixel and Pixel XL: A Detailed Analysis

In this article, we will delve into the differences between two popular smartphones from Google - the Pixel and the Pixel XL. As many of you have asked about the key differences between these two devices, we have decided to create a detailed analysis to help you make an informed decision.

Firstly, it's worth noting that both the Pixel and Pixel XL are identical in terms of their packaging. The boxes look exactly the same, with no visible branding difference between the two devices. However, if you look closely at the label inside the box, you can identify which device you have purchased - whether it's a Pixel or a Pixel XL.

One question that many of you have asked is where are the headphones? Unfortunately, neither the Pixel nor the Pixel XL come with headphones. However, it's possible that some regions may receive different packaging or accessories for these devices. In any case, both devices share the same specifications and features, including a quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 12.3-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Internally, both devices are identical in terms of their hardware specifications. Both have a Snapdragon 801 processor, although the Pixel XL may experience slightly better performance due to its larger display size. The performance is not noticeable in day-to-day usage, but Geekbench results suggest that the Pixel XL performs about 5% better than the standard Pixel.

Both devices also share the same fingerprint scanner on their rear sides, which provides quick and convenient access to your phone's features. They also both have an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, which is one of my personal favorites for capturing good selfies. Additionally, both devices have a single bottom speaker that produces decent sound quality.

One feature that sets the Pixel XL apart from its smaller counterpart is the presence of a high-resolution display. While the standard Pixel has a Full HD display, the Pixel XL boasts a Quad HD display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. This results in a higher pixel density and more vibrant colors on the screen.

Another key difference between the two devices is their battery size. The Pixel XL has a significantly larger battery than the standard Pixel, measuring around 3450mAh compared to the smaller phone's 2670mAh. While this may not seem like a significant difference, it can result in longer battery life for users who are heavy power users or have demanding applications that consume a lot of battery power.

The final and perhaps most significant difference between the two devices is their price. The Pixel XL costs around $120 more than the standard Pixel in both the UK and US markets. While this may seem like a small difference, it's worth considering whether the additional features and benefits are worth the extra cost for some users.

In our opinion, we wouldn't say that the additional features and benefits of the Pixel XL justify the higher price tag. While the larger display and higher-resolution screen are nice additions, they don't necessarily make the device a must-have for everyone. However, if you value the convenience of having a larger phone with more power and a better camera, then the Pixel XL may be worth considering.

Ultimately, the decision between the Google Pixel and Pixel XL comes down to your personal preferences and needs. If you want a smaller, more compact phone with all the latest features at an affordable price, then the standard Pixel may be the better choice for you. However, if you prefer a larger display, more power, and a better camera, then the Pixel XL is definitely worth considering.

We hope that this analysis has helped you make a more informed decision about which device to choose from Google's lineup of smartphones. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's of YouTube's a fear on super-safe TV so earlier this week I did an unboxing of the Google pixel and following that I've also done lots of coverage with the pixel and pixel excel so a few of you guys have asked me what are the key differences between the pixel and pixel excel are there really many differences well spoiler are really aren't many differences but in this video we'll be looking at what the differences are in much more detail so firstly from the boxes you can see that both of these are the same we don't even have Excel branding on the X or box they both look identical the only way you'll be able to tell them apart is from the label at the bottom inside the box what you get is also identical and I've covered all of the individual aspects in detail in the previous unboxing so definitely go ahead and check that out if you haven't already now one thing a few of you guys mentioned was where are the headphones well there aren't any headphones not here in the UK anyway maybe if you're somewhere else the pixels may come with headphones not here in the UK now internally both of these are exactly the same we've got a Snapdragon 801 foking bytes of ram and because of that I really haven't noticed any difference between the performance although the XL did seem to scroll a little bit higher on Geekbench for results not sure why that is a but realistically speaking day-to-day there wasn't really any difference same fingerprint scanner on the back of the phones there's the twelve point three megapixel rear-facing camera which is actually really really good same single bottom facing speaker and also an 8 megapixel front-facing camera which has already become one of my favorites be sure to check out my camera comparisons if you haven't already another thing a lot of you guys were asking was that do the pixels have an LED notification light and as you can see here from the pixel we do have an LED notification light although it's not one by default and you will have to go into the settings and switch this on now let's get to the differences obviously it is the size that is the biggest differentiator between these two the pixel XL comes with a 5.5 inch display whereas you have a 5 inch display on the pixel and this results in the pixel XL being larger in both the height and width however in terms of thickness these both are exactly the same now because of the smaller size the pixel is the easy using one hand but the pixel axle isn't too much larger and should still be manageable for most people however if this is an issue for you then the pixel will be the better option now that larger display on the pixel Excel also has a high resolution you've got quite HD versus Full HD and that results in a higher pixel density and overall the pixel Excel does have more sharp and crisp images and text and although you may not notice a huge difference at standard viewing distances if you do use VR then the pixel Excel will be the advisable option now the larger size of pixel Excel also has space for a large battery it's around 25% larger compared to the pixel and although you are pushing out more pixels yes I know I'm saying pixels a lot but that's not my fault you will be getting more usage out of the pixel excel because of that much larger battery now the final a big difference between these two is the price you'll be paying around about 120 pounds more here in the UK or around 120 dollars more in the US for the pixel XL now the question is is it worth that extra money well realistically speaking in my opinion I wouldn't say so even if we take the iPhone 7 and 7 plus for example the key thing that you're getting with the 7 plus is a dual camera setup which to me separates the two enough to justify that higher price tag this is not the case with the pixel on pixel XL so that's it just a quick summary of the key differences between the pixel and pixel XL which one of these would you go for if you would be going for one and do you think that higher price is justified drop me a comment below and let me know your thoughts I hope you enjoyed
