Number five background updates. While software updates are great, they can get annoying as they render your phone useless while the update is being installed, but with the pixel. This isn't as much of an issue as the OS updates are downloaded and installed automatically in the background, meaning no more waiting around for your phone to update six LED notifications when your screen is off, and you have a missed notification. This is what you see on the iPhone 7, plus, absolutely nothing on the pixel XL.

You can make your home screen look and work exactly the way you want it from assigning special gestures to open up an app to customizing each individual icon, making your phone truly yours, twelve, more capable, widgets! Yes, the iPhone technically has widgets now, but it's limited to just one screen with the pixel. You can put widgets on multiple screens just about anywhere. You want.
For example, you can put a post a note right on your home screen and have your full monthly calendar on another thirteen system control. One of the biggest differences between iOS and Android is how much control you have over your phone with the pixel, letting you tweak things from how fast your animations are in developer settings to which icon show up in the notification bar and system tuner, giving you complete control over your experience, 14 split-screen multitasking with split-screen multitasking. You can use two apps on the screen. At the same time, for example, you can open up your shopping list and calculator to be able to quickly add things up.

Stick: 19 no protruding camera lens. The pixel XL doesn't have a protruding camera like on the iPhone 7 plus, which means you can use it while it's lying flat on a desk without constantly rocking back and forth, like the iPhone does reason number 20, unlimited full resolution photo storage included with the purchase of the Google pick, so is unlimited photo and video storage in full resolution, meaning every one of your 12 megapixel photos and every detail of your 4k videos can be backed up in the cloud unlimited for free 21, less obtrusive volume indicator.
