Google Dropped the Pixel Phone and Twitter Went Nuts
Every time a new phone is released, you can bet that the good people of the Internet will have a few choice words to say about it. After Google announced the Pixel phone yesterday, people went nuts. So here we have the good, the bad and the just plain funny.

The Pixel is pretty irresistible, we admit. That sleek, shiny frame is bringing out all the heart-eyed emoji over here.

What more needs to be said?
THE BAD
That moment when you realise the first phone by #Google is way beyond your budget. #pixelphone pic.twitter.com/LUm3bv0tyT

Yes, $649 is a lot of money. But when you break it down to its $27/month cost, it’s still only about as much as an iPhone. Which isn’t cheap, but still.
Aside from fast charging, Google kind of blew past the big question of battery life on #GooglePixel. All that software is power hungry. pic.twitter.com/eMCs3hmNmq

And while the charging is impressive, people were wondering exactly how often you’d have to charge up.
The fact that every phone ends up being dubbed as an 'iPhone Killer' proves why the iPhone is the best phone in the world. #GooglePixel

And others aren’t convinced it’s going to kill the competition.

Oooh, shade.
All these Apple noobs just bought the iPhone 7. The best things in life, come to those who wait. @google #Pixel #GooglePixel

Others were laughing at those who’d leapt at the iPhone 7.
#Google sure knows their audience – as seen with the color names of their new #phone. #GooglePixel #GoogleEvent #Pixel #MadeByGoogle pic.twitter.com/fj3V9XPz3r
