Google decided to do things differently this year with its hardware and as a result Google introduced the Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. What makes these particular smartphones different from previous generation Google-associated hardware is that the Pixel and the Pixel XL are smartphones that are ‘made by Google’ and do not bare any association to other manufacturers or device partners. Likewise, both the Google Pixel and the Pixel XL come with a tweaked user experience in the form of the Pixel Launcher. For those thinking about picking up the Pixel or the Pixel XL, they are not exactly the most affordable smartphones with the starting price for the Pixel coming in at $649 and the starting price for the Pixel XL coming in at $769.
