Unn, I’m going to overrule you on this since I have no idea who you are, you provide no evidence or context, and we’ve got two Pixels’ and are very happy.

I also don’t know if by “customer service” you refer to the carrier or the manufacture, and they are very different things.

brgulker, I’m getting my info on battery life from sources such as the one you cite, which shows the Pixel as having more battery life than the Samsung to which it is being compared in this review.

Meanwhile, as noted, the Pixel is likely to have the more advanced/current Android system at any one moment in time, and software aided batter efficiency is something we expect to see with Android, so the Pixel will sometimes have that edge over the Samsung as well.

But, of course, you aren’t going to be able to light your campfire with the Pixel!

I think if you look at some of the objective testing, you might be surprised: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10753/the-google-pixel-xl-review/7

You covered all the same points I mulled over. If you purchase software, apps seem to often be substantially cheaper than those in iTunes.

I got an unlocked Moto which has all the features I liked about the Nexus plus more storage, faster processor, and removable storage, too.
