The 5 Differences Between Pixel and Pixel XL
The announcement of Google's new smartphones, Pixel and Pixel XL, has excited Android fans this week, especially for the impressive features the handsets offer. Of course, many are already wondering what the differences between the two models are and whether one is better than the other. Fortunately, Google balanced both versions very well and only applied the really necessary differences to them. To see exactly what these differences are, just check our comparison below!
1. Size
The biggest and most noticeable difference between Pixel and Pixel XL is the size of the two devices. The standard Pixel has a 5-inch screen, which is perfect for one-handed users who like more compact handsets overall.
Pixel XL is designed for those who don't care about a larger device that needs both hands a few times. It can be very good for watching many movies and videos on the smartphone, as its 5.5 inch screen is naturally better for this type of media.
2. Display Resolution
Fortunately, Google was careful not to let the same resolution on the screens of the two Pixel models, something that could spoil the experience of anyone buying the XL version. The smaller model has an AMOLED Full HD display, ie it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels with 441 ppi (pixels per inch).
Pixel XL also has a great AMOLED display, but it is Quad HD with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and 534 ppi.
3. Battery
As they are different sizes, the two versions of Pixel could not count on the same battery, because the Pixel XL tends to spend more with its large display. On the smaller model, there is a 2770 mAH battery, which can last well throughout the day with the help of Android Nougat's advanced economy features.
The Pixel XL has a 3450 mAh battery, which will surely make it last even more day to day, even with the use of apps or heavy games. The good news is that both models have a fast charge and can recharge 7 hours of battery in just 15 minutes.
4. Specifications
In their general technical specifications, the two models do not run far from what we see in other newer handsets. The Pixel is 143.8 mm high, 69.5 mm wide, 8.5 mm thick and weighs around 143 grams. The larger model is 154.7 mm high, 75.7 mm wide, 8.5 mm thick and weighs 168 grams.
5. Price
As Pixel is not yet expected to arrive in Brazil, it is difficult to estimate its price in reais, but at least we already know that the smaller model will sell for $ 649 and the Pixel XL will cost $ 769 in the United States. United.
For comparison, this is usually the price of iPhones and Galaxy line devices at launch, with normal and larger versions (Plus and Edge, respectively). Here in Brazil, these devices usually cost between 3 and 4 thousand reais, so it is possible that Pixel arrives in the country in this range.
