Tech giant Google has recently announced their new flagship phone that will replace their Nexus lineup, the Google Pixel. The Google Pixel has been at the center of the spotlight lately in the phone industry because of its impeccable specs that will hold their own against Apple and Samsung's flagship phones.

The Google Pixel phones are coming out in two variants, the Pixel and the larger Pixel XL. The Pixel XL has caught the eye of many android phone fans because of its sleek aluminum body display coupled with polished glass. The Pixel XL's design makes the device look like a very slim phone, especially since it comes out without a camera bump that is present in most of its competitor phones.

The Pixel XL is equipped with an HD AMOLED display that is capable of 4K viewing. The phone runs on the latest android Nougat OS that is backed up by a powerful Quad Core 2x 2.15 GHz processor and a 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM. What's more is that the new Google phone is said to be the first phone that will feature a Qualcomm's 821 chipset, therefore enhancing the phone's CPU speed and gaming performance.

Aside from the phone's undeniable powerful specs, the Pixel XL will also come out with other cool features such as a Pixel imprint fingerprint sensor, a speedy Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a new Google Assistant.

Another thing fans are getting hyped about the Pixel XL is its 3,450mAh battery that can be packed with seven hours of power in just 15 minutes.

The Google Pixel XL will come out with a variety of internal storage choices that range from 32 GB up to 128 GB. What's more is that Google will be offering Pixel phone users with unlimited cloud storage.

As for the Pixel XL's camera, the phone will come out of the box with a powerful 12-megapixel camera equipped with an f/2.0 aperture and 1.55-micron pixels along with features like smartburst and enhanced HDR+.

Google's new flagship phone — the Pixel XL — will officially be available in the market on Oct. 20.
