Dude, the production value of your videos is amazing. The music, editing, the quality of the script (always to the point) and even the way you narrate is better than anything I've seen in youtube or even most tv
Excellent review as always. A lot of modern reviewers seem to have beautifully edited videos, but forget to actually review the phone. Both are done well here!
if google wants to compete with apple they should release the pixel worldwide and not this 5 country bullshit, thats why i'm getting the Note 8 next year.
My guess: Google is new to this kind of full-scale phone launch (the Nexus wasn't entirely its doing, remember), so it's playing it safe until it knows how to manage supply.
No matter how experienced a company and no matter the engineering talent, designing a phone from scratch is very hard. Next gens will only get much better.
Paulson Dumbbells yeah I love Google now it works flawlessly. You can start with a question and just keep going. The assistant is nothing new. Google just pulled an apple by using old Stuff and rebranding it. Ohhh the irony
cybertec69 are you stupid or just dumb. Clearly comprehension isn't your strong point. I'm telling the Apple Fan Boys to never compare another Android to Apple Again that isn't the Pixel. You must be an Apple fan on the low or an android user that has a Shitty phone.
that trackpad/touchpad fuctionality is from Huawei,HTC stole that aparently,that's not a cool thing to do,but that's that even though Huawei can add that feature on a 300$ phone with a bigger surface to use for the feature as well.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] or it could be innovative and have 2 fingerprint scanners, nobody could complain about that, you could use the scanner on a table and it would be nice to use in the hand.
It's so disappointing that the Pixel phones don't get unlimited cloud backup anymore. It's great sometimes to watch these old reviews and think about how far we've come and the impact some phones have on the ones that come after. Looking forward to your Pixel 6 or 6 Pro review whenever it drops!
Two polarizing characters in PocketNow made me extremely ambivalent towards subscribing/unsubscribing. I love Michael Fisher's reviews a lot, and I hate the other character so much.

Wow, you are the best..! Every reviewer in TH-cam is saying the new assistant is new and a lot more intelligent.. but like you did..I asked the same questions from some videos to my 4 year old Nexus4..and it did answer the very same..(except for the joke thing). you just showed you really use the phone and discover stuff.. you are the man MichaelFisher
Bingo. No doubt that, like Now, it'll get better. But I've been waiting for Now to get better since it came out, and I still find it pretty much useless (unless you like using your device like a toy instead of to get shit done). So Assistant is a nice idea, but not the "wow" selling point it's made out to be.
Finally a real honest review. Thats why you're my go to for a phone review, it doesn't feel like you were paid by Google like some of the other reviews I've watched. Keep up the good work.
That episode is about to destroy you as a person. I hate Black Mirror because it makes me consider the edge cases of human morality, but that's also why I like it.
I honestly still think the design is a mess. Can't really think of a reason to jump from my S7 edge to this but at least Google is marketing the hell out of it, hopefully it makes devs (*cough* Snapchat *cough*) pay more attention to their Android apps for a more consistent cross platform experience
as far as I know it's coded differently on Android compared to iOS so it's generally a worse experience regardless of what phone you have. I have friends with 5c's who can record faster on than I can on my S7, it's ridiculous
Pixel is a great phone until you realize that a phone called Galaxy S7 Edge is still the king. S7 us just great. no features and specs left out and it's even cheaper+expandable storage. But seeing OP3 or Axon7 or Honor8 I don't think we need expensive Smartphones now. Great Review +MrMobile
Soumitra Saxena, I don't know. I've own an S7 for about a month before I gave it to my mom and went back to my 6P because of the stuttering and lag. I never used the op3 but I've used the axon7 and the honor 8. Neither were impressive and screamed, good for the price, but not flat out good.
Richard Servello sign up for the beta. 7.1.1 is a large improvement over 7.0 for the Nexus 6p. Only downside is you'll lose the Night Light workaround and "OK Google" becomes spotty but otherwise I've noticed faster performance when navigating around and in the camera and more consistent battery. Maybe you could use a factory reset as well.
Sahman Seerha i'm still using an xperia Z2 as a daily driver even though it's more than 2 years old . it simply is still working perfectly , no point in ditching it , even though i have an s7 edge as a second phone ...
I think one of my favorite things about Micheal Fishers videos are the thumbnails. They are so elegant and clean it's crazy. Who makes them Mr. Mobile?
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] How about a retro feature phone review like the moto RIZR z8??? maybe a moto RAZR or moto ROKR e8 or even Nokia 1100??? they don't make such phones these days
Watching this on my Pixel XL - Previously I owned a OnePlus 3 and S6 Edge and this phone just blows them out of the way, theres no going back once you go purist Android. The warranty from OnePlus was garbage and I had to refund the phone, it took me over a month for a refund, it also didn't support all the LTE bands for us here in Australia and battery life was atrocious ! I would get 2 hours of SOT on my OnePlus3. The S6 Edge was great but I never used any features that Samsung offer from water resistance, SD card, wireless charging.. And It still gave me too many hiccups and lag, I also wasn't a fan of the Touch UI. Going to the Pixel XL, everything *just works*, its smooth and clean like Michael Fischer said.. Also I'm getting about 5 hours of SOT for the first time ever! I agree it is expensive, no phone is perfect, but the overall package you get and the experience with it just makes it worth it in my opinion, plus unlimited google photos (at any resolution) is seriously under-rated. Edit: Traded it in for an iPhone 7+, I'm an iOS convert now.
Big Mike I'm actually leaving my OnePlus 3 for the Google Pixel as well. Since you have owned both, can you tell me if the Pixel charges as quick as the OnePlus 3?
This is the thing most people don't understand. They seem to think that Apple owns the production line of the iPhone all the way down, when they contract manufacturing out like any other company. As an aside; I honestly, truly admire your videos. You put well thought out points in them, while also bringing some original content in terms of unorthodox information (For example trying every command in a Pixel ad with Google Now) Not to mention your editing is top notch. Leagues better than MKBHD. He seems to just tell us what we already knew and then promotes a dbrand skin. Which brings me to my point. What would I have to do to ensure that you can keep this quality up, while keeping distracting promotional material down? Thanks, and keep up the fantastic work!
great video Michael!! I loved that u clearly pointed out the google now-assistant rebranding, which almost every other review seems to miss and classify it as a WOW! feature.
Thanks for the classic kick-ass review Fischer! But I think I'll stick with my OnePlus 3, the Pixel is WAY uglier and that price tag... Damn, my wallet hurts just thinking about it haha.
so pleased to see you still using the Nextbit Robin. it's my daily driver and they are my favourite smart phone company. So few companies have such a direct link to their customers and work to hard to continuously improve the experience with their phone. Plus I really dig the midnight you've got there
S7 much thinner bezels and, more beautiful, waterproofing, many more features, wireless charging and much cheaper.... i don't give a fuck if app will load 1 sec slower...Overall is a better device
Not really. The s7 comes loaded with features like a microSD slot and touchwiz features that most "normals" don't care about. That's why people buy iPhone- because of its simplicity. The pixel does just that. Although its hardware isn't as good as the s7, it blows it away in software experience, with zero lag and no extra gimmicks.
Trexy Smexy micro sd is a feature that everyone use especially the " normals". Touchwiz is better for 'normals' because it has many features without need to install apps. Everything is a matter of taste, but touchwiz is not load with bloatware anymore and it very nice UI.
Bankhead 1 I'm currently choosing whether to get rid of my iPhone 7 Plus and get an s7 Edge or Pixel. I'm concerned over the lag, as every Samsung I've had including the Note 4 lagged and actually the speakers stopped working. Every Samsung I've had has broke. Regardless. I'm not new to rooting but I'm assuming it would require a root? Also why would you recommend the s7E besides the obvious like features and price point.
It's a hardware problem, Google issued a software fix so when you capture in HDR, they try to remove the lens flare caused by the hardware, which doesn't always work very well
Digital to Analog Converter, basically the hardware that turns your music files into something your headphones or speakers can play. The Pixel doesn't have a good DAC, which means you won't get good audio quality from the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Valentino Vuitton the gloss one? lol, of course it is because that phone's gloss level is over 9000, it wasn't even glass tho, I don't know what it is, I think it's just a paint coating on aluminium. tbh if you want a beautiful glossy phone, just get a Samsung galaxy.
Excellent review - as always - very objective. I will not be replacing my 6P with the Pixel. Just feel it is overpriced given the lack of features found in other flagships. I did purchase the LE Pro3 for $299. Can't wait to see how it performs, but couldn't resist the price.
Mr. Mobile, great job. I just want to say I enjoyed your video editing, especially in conjunction with background music selection and timing. It makes the video viewing experience top-notch.
This is the best review for the pixel I've seen so far because Michael gets who this phone is being targeted to. The one thing that both the iPhone and pixel can claim is software and hardware integration making the experience buttery smooth on both. That's why Google and Apple can charge so much and people will pay. Other phones like the oneplus 3 is a much better value. But for people, like me, who want iPhone like consistent speed with the flexibility of Android, the pixel is the only game in town.
You was the reason I would go to Pocket now, now I subscribe to Mr mobile. Great review as always, you bring a certain balance to your reviews that others lack.
I just wanna take some time to say I love your vids man! I was wondering what happened to your Pocketnow reviews (your Moto X Pure review and other videos related to that device actually convinced me to get it!), so happy that I found your new channel man. keep up the good work
Another awesome review Michael, I too was surprised by the price of the Pixel when it came out. the market way to tight for a phone not as well known as Iphone or galaxy to be priced almost as much as they are
By the time the Pixel came out in Europe for €760, the Galaxy S7 was already widely available between €450 and €520. Just for perspective. I got mine for 425 at the end of September. The Pixel is probably the best phone on the market, but I'm not sure how many people will pay the price.
I really liked your reviews when you were on Pocketnow, but now you're even better. You have really developed as a reviewer and now every review is made by you. Heads down the best reviewer on TH-cam!

@@christianmirto1597 maybe he isnt watching it on his phone

+MrMobile [Michael Fisher] does the phone charge drain fast?
is there over heating while talking calls?
if google wants to compete with apple they should release the pixel worldwide and not this 5 country bullshit, thats why i'm getting the Note 8 next year.
i really want to get the pixel 2 xl next year, but google disappointed me with the limited availability.
My guess: Google is new to this kind of full-scale phone launch (the Nexus wasn't entirely its doing, remember), so it's playing it safe until it knows how to manage supply.
Aurelian and thats how they are going to loose....
No matter how experienced a company and no matter the engineering talent, designing a phone from scratch is very hard. Next gens will only get much better.

good points about Google assistant. lol when you played along with the Google ad with another android.

Wow I'm early too. Michael Fischer, best mobile tech reviewer on the *planet*. Yep, I said it.
LeBeautiful his honesty is the best
LeBeautiful Check out Ash Tailor too. He in the same league as Fisher, Joshua Vergara and MKBHD.
I immediately subbed when I found out he'd left +Pocketnow. he's so good at reviewing...a true natural.
MyAndroidBite Yes I know Ash...great videography on his content. If only he was more active... last time I checked, he was a freelancer!
LeBeautiful He's gotten a bit more active recently though. I guess it's because of the hefty editing he does, something time consuming yk.
That chin is a waste. Could have used the space for front facing speakers
Agreed.
that trackpad/touchpad fuctionality is from Huawei,HTC stole that aparently,that's not a cool thing to do,but that's that even though Huawei can add that feature on a 300$ phone with a bigger surface to use for the feature as well.

It took me ... a long time. And if Really Blue hadn't come along, I'd probably still be holding my nose.

oh hell noooooo. You are wright Michael the front of the phone looks so unfinished
weird1ize it's low key ugly asf but it has good software.
That intro was probably the best intro to a phone review I've seen. The voice, choice of words and way it was presented was just brilliant.
I'm halfway on that episode, 'Black Mirror' is awesome!
Get ready for some heartache.
That episode is about to destroy you as a person. I hate Black Mirror because it makes me consider the edge cases of human morality, but that's also why I like it.
Wait until "shut up and dance" haha...
One of the finest in the business along with MKBHD. Nice, clean and no non sense presentation.
I honestly still think the design is a mess. Can't really think of a reason to jump from my S7 edge to this but at least Google is marketing the hell out of it, hopefully it makes devs (*cough* Snapchat *cough*) pay more attention to their Android apps for a more consistent cross platform experience

as far as I know it's coded differently on Android compared to iOS so it's generally a worse experience regardless of what phone you have. I have friends with 5c's who can record faster on than I can on my S7, it's ridiculous
It's better on the Pixel than on most Android phones but it's still not as smooth and reliable as on iOS. Very frustrating.
So good to go back to this video. Reminded of better times.
Pixel is a great phone until you realize that a phone called Galaxy S7 Edge is still the king. S7 us just great. no features and specs left out and it's even cheaper+expandable storage.
But seeing OP3 or Axon7 or Honor8 I don't think we need expensive Smartphones now.

Pic of Jay Leno when describing the chin...just the little touches that make a great review of a device, the best review.
This music and narration style remind me of Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.
My name is Lester Burnham. In less than a year, I will be dead.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Read that in your voice and his at the same time. Uncanny.
Bro - that Jay Leno picture and chin reference made me spit out of coffee, lmao!
that jay leno chin...
Nougat broke my 6p....I went from 2.5-3 hrs SOT to 1.5. Can't wait for my Pixel to get here so I can stop worrying about my battery again!
Richard Servello sign up for the beta. 7.1.1 is a large improvement over 7.0 for the Nexus 6p. Only downside is you'll lose the Night Light workaround and "OK Google" becomes spotty but otherwise I've noticed faster performance when navigating around and in the camera and more consistent battery. Maybe you could use a factory reset as well.
I still have the Note 4 and I think I can still live with it for another year or two I know I prolly won't get 7.0 tho lol which kind of bums me out
Custom rom :)
Note 4 is still good , just a little slower thats all , much rather my note 4 than a lot of the new ........... " flagships " .
Sahman Seerha if you really want 7.0 and don't mind losing touchwiz maybe consider getting a 7.0 aosp rom or maybe cyanogenmod 14?

Two of my favorite reviewers on one video mr.mobile and Daniel Rubino from Windows central.
i still prefer my Samsung galaxy s7
mainly due to display and i hate the bezels on the pixel
plus the theme store is really cool.
... not to mention the water resistance.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] you forgot about the front facing camera...
S7 looks 100 times better too.
I just feel Samsung is still the way to go, unless they blunder big again in the next one.
yeah i love the theme store. Galaxy S7 full of features and cheaper then Google Pixel,
I'm so glad you made a new channel, you were my favourite reviewer from pocketnow
Watching this on my Pixel XL - Previously I owned a OnePlus 3 and S6 Edge and this phone just blows them out of the way, theres no going back once you go purist Android.

Also typing this on a pixel. I agree with everything you said.
Every week I wait for MrMobile videos, and every video is worth the wait. Good work Michael.
Holy shit! This phone is 971,00 € in my country
I am honestly so happy that you're back doing reviews
You said that htc made it! so does apple make its own iphone?
No, Foxconn does.
pleaseeeeeeeeee do SONY XZ review !
This is the thing most people don't understand. They seem to think that Apple owns the production line of the iPhone all the way down, when they contract manufacturing out like any other company.

Sorry, iPhones are made by Foxconn. Apple doesn't have any factories to manufacture their phones.
great video Michael!! I loved that u clearly pointed out the google now-assistant rebranding, which almost every other review seems to miss and classify it as a WOW! feature.
Could you share that wallpaper at 0:38?
Whichever ones didn't come stock on the Pixel are from the app "Backdrops," available in the Play Store.

Glad Michael Fisher watches that show. *5 stars*
u gonna break every record in the review world. such crisp videos
the word 'normal' doesn't quite fit here, this is a hefty $700 phone buddy. it is no way normal
It is in the US, where phones are either carrier-subsidized or sold on finance plans.
The S7E, V20, HTC 10 and practically every flagship by every well-known device OEM retails for ~$700 though.
"Normies" buy iphone because all their friends have iphones. So yes they do.
Man your video thumbnails are just super awesome and editing is also very nice . A BIG THUMBS UP for your work
Me with my note 20 ultra:
Pathetic
i got my s8 and now i really like the pixel xl 😍
the s7 is the Android for normals tf
S7 much thinner bezels and, more beautiful, waterproofing, many more features, wireless charging and much cheaper.... i don't give a fuck if app will load 1 sec slower...Overall is a better device
Not really. The s7 comes loaded with features like a microSD slot and touchwiz features that most "normals" don't care about. That's why people buy iPhone- because of its simplicity.

Where's the Nextbit Robin Review ?
+Nelson Pelayo back at Pocketnow!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 🔥🔥
Solid review! Great presentation. Thanks for the video.
I prefer a finger print sensor on the front.
ModernCoolCat your opinion is wrong
"Combined best of the two"? That is a strong statement for a phone that cost a lot but lacks so much.
"Lens Flare problem"?
It's a hardware problem, Google issued a software fix so when you capture in HDR, they try to remove the lens flare caused by the hardware, which doesn't always work very well
Look up lens flare
It's hard to describe, but basically light looks like orbs or there's a rainbow effect
look up JJ abrams
basically, the lens is rather shit for the price
Bijak Riyandi Ahadito Do You know how hard it is to get proper cinematic looking lens flares from a car or a weak light source with a phone?
You are one of my new favorite reviewers. Your script and voice are fantastic. And yes, Black Mirror is amazing.
Do you think it's worth upgrading from my Nexus 6P.. I just love my front during speakers☹️
If you really love audio, nope. Maybe wait for the 2nd gen Pixel. The mono speaker is average but the DAC is one of the worst for $600+ smartphones.
the zte axon 7 has front facing speakers, might wanna pick it up
Biignaeem exactly how I feel, love my speakers and hoping the next Pixels will include stereo speakers
no. keep the 6p
Digital to Analog Converter, basically the hardware that turns your music files into something your headphones or speakers can play. The Pixel doesn't have a good DAC, which means you won't get good audio quality from the 3.5mm headphone jack.
You give great attention to details as an artist not only a reviewer, salute sir!
If you have Project Fi, what's your project fi experience like with the Pixel? @mrmobile
It's just fine! I keep my Fi SIM in the little Pixel and it works well.
thank you MrMobile [Michael Fisher]
recently purchased the HTC 10 and I love it thanks to ur review it got me very pumped to buy it
I literally love ur reviews
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is still the best overall Smartphone!
Great review as always! You have became one of my favorite TH-camr now.
Just a suggestion, review some ultra cheap phones? like below $200?
Gabor Jee There are more options than just Xiaomi. And they haven't entered US market although they are available here in India.
It's like a hybrid between an Htc 10 and an iphone 5 that got the bad genes.
I think it's sexy in quite black.
Sky Of Melee Hell I think the black iPhone 7 is sexier
Valentino Vuitton the gloss one? lol, of course it is because that phone's gloss level is over 9000, it wasn't even glass tho, I don't know what it is, I think it's just a paint coating on aluminium. tbh if you want a beautiful glossy phone, just get a Samsung galaxy.
One of the most original tech voices on TH-cam. You, sir, are a legend. Loved the review.
S7 still better though
Excellent review - as always - very objective. I will not be replacing my 6P with the Pixel. Just feel it is overpriced given the lack of features found in other flagships. I did purchase the LE Pro3 for $299. Can't wait to see how it performs, but couldn't resist the price.
2 videos in one day?! This makes me so happy
boring, ugly ... waiting for s8
mauzzy still the best android.
Tom X
still the best android "experience"? maybe.. that's not what most people after .
thats all that matters from a phone is how you use it. what else could u ask for? software is what makes or breaks a phone.
Tom X
depends what u are looking for. my top priorities are screen and camera. "voice assistant" is something i don't use/need at all.
Mr. Mobile, great job. I just want to say I enjoyed your video editing, especially in conjunction with background music selection and timing. It makes the video viewing experience top-notch.
Ugly, boring, overpriced...I'll pass
it's rare to see reviewer nowadays reviewing the call quality of a phone...
good job...
Isn't Mr mobile a android fanboy? so his opinion on Siri is pointless
no
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] exactly you're just into the latest tech out there
I still can't believe you live in the same city as me :D Boston rules. I'm in Allston.

This is the best review for the pixel I've seen so far because Michael gets who this phone is being targeted to. The one thing that both the iPhone and pixel can claim is software and hardware integration making the experience buttery smooth on both. That's why Google and Apple can charge so much and people will pay. Other phones like the oneplus 3 is a much better value. But for people, like me, who want iPhone like consistent speed with the flexibility of Android, the pixel is the only game in town.
I've always said that the OnePlus phones are the best value. Iv'e used both and the pixel is a lot smother even with oneplus running 7.1.1
November 2018. I bought my wife a silvery/white $299 Google Pixel w 32Gb. What a steal. Long live price drops!! Great video. Thumbs up!
Hey! Black Mirror made an appearance! Love that particular episode too. :)
You was the reason I would go to Pocket now, now I subscribe to Mr mobile. Great review as always, you bring a certain balance to your reviews that others lack.
I just wanna take some time to say I love your vids man!
I was wondering what happened to your Pocketnow reviews (your Moto X Pure review and other videos related to that device actually convinced me to get it!), so happy that I found your new channel man. keep up the good work
Thanks for coming over!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] no way....
Really like your videos, awesome reviews!. The voice over and music production is awesome as well. Congrats!
Another awesome review Michael, I too was surprised by the price of the Pixel when it came out. the market way to tight for a phone not as well known as Iphone or galaxy to be priced almost as much as they are
Damn watching these old videos feels like opening a time capsule
I bought a pixel xl few days ago. Its my favourite phone of all time! (I tried almost everything)
By the time the Pixel came out in Europe for €760, the Galaxy S7 was already widely available between €450 and €520.
Just for perspective. I got mine for 425 at the end of September.
The Pixel is probably the best phone on the market, but I'm not sure how many people will pay the price.
I really liked your reviews when you were on Pocketnow, but now you're even better. You have really developed as a reviewer and now every review is made by you. Heads down the best reviewer on TH-cam!
You really make tech videos feel like an episode of my fav series. Good honest reviews...Kudos to you. Keep it up.
That black mirror episode is great, bleak & horrible, but great!
As always, another great review. Thanks Michael.
glad I suscribed to your channel. your videos are chill and well made thumbs up Mr Mobile
Thanks!
you are the best reviewer of all time sir😊. You give the impressions and clear the confusions like no else reviewer ever did!
The gyroscope stabilasation should be a standard feature on any flagship from now on, it's pretty impressive
Excellent review, Mr. Fisher. I'm an iPhone user, but I really enjoy your Videos with Android phones.
just amazed . your videos are the best . specially your words ..and they way u speak .
