- 3.5 mm headphone jack.
- No camera bump.
- Fast charging (from completely dead to 25% in 15 minutes).

Google Pixel Cons:
- Boring iPhone-ish design.
- Not water resistant (IP53 rating to Apple's IP67 and Samsung's IP68 premium tier offerings).
- Expensive (starts at $649).
- The only speaker is only okay (Nexus 6P had stereo).
- In Geekbench speed tests, the Pixel was about 20% slower than both the iPhone 7 and the Galaxy S7,
- Fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone could interfere with some uses.
- The glass backing on the top of the phone attracts scratches easily
- No wireless charging
- No iMessage
- The display is dim in bright light, which is annoying when shooting photos outside.
- The Lens Blur feature, designed to compete with the iPhone 7 Plus' forthcoming Portrait Mode, is hit and miss.
