Google, previously came out with Nexus series, which was a major success, and now in 2016 they have rolled out their newest feat of an invention, the Pixel & the Pixel XL smartphones.
Both are identical in every manner except for the screen sizes, 5.0″ and 5.5″ respectively, and both run on Android 7.0 Nougat, which is simply magnificent.
