A 5' 1080p AMOLED display and a 2,770mAh battery can be found on the standard Pixel, while the XL comes with a 5.5' QHD-screen and a 3,450mAh battery.īoth devices are powered by Qualcomm's top-end chipset Snapdragon 821 and 4GB of RAM.
Despite being made by HTC the Pixel and Pixel XL are marketed as Google devices and only differ in terms of screen size and resolution as well as battery capacity. Google's 2016 smartphones have dropped the Nexus moniker and, in line with the company's high-end Chromebooks and tablets, have instead adopted the Pixel brand.
