Preorder Pixel, Phone by Google with Verizon LTE Advanced today

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK – Verizon today announced it is the exclusive U.S. wireless provider of Pixel and Pixel XL, a pair of innovative new smartphones made by Google that take full advantage of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, available to more than 314 million people across 2.31 million square miles. And now, with LTE Advanced, Verizon customers with capable devices can experience 50 percent faster peak wireless data speeds in more than 450 cities from coast to coast.

Your phone, never full

With Pixel and Pixel XL, storage anxiety is a thing of the past. Both phones come with unlimited storage for photos and videos at full resolution so you will never run out of space or miss out on a candid moment. Even better, a smart storage feature lets your Pixel free up space automatically when you need it, which means you’ll always have memory available. Just set it up once and say goodbye to those annoying "storage is full" warnings.

Your assistant, always by your side

The Google Assistant on Pixel and Pixel XL is a new way to help you get things done throughout your day. Just say, "OK, Google," or touch and hold the Home button and ask a question or make a request. The Google Assistant can easily help you do things like make a dinner reservation, add items to your shopping list, create calendar entries or search the Internet for the latest baseball scores — all without having to open multiple apps.

Your memories, never missed

With 12.3 megapixel rear and 8 megapixel front cameras, it’s easier than ever to capture that perfect shot. Take crisp photos in bright light, low light or any light, and catch action shots as they happen with Smartburst. Once you've captured the moment, full-resolution photos and videos are instantly backed up to Google Photos over the Verizon network for safekeeping, sorting and sharing on your favorite social network.

Your battery, charged fast

Pixel and Pixel XL won’t leave you in a lurch when your battery is running low. When you need a quick charge, the USB Type-C charger gets you seven hours of battery life in just 15 minutes. To conserve battery when you aren't using your phone, the Android-exclusive Doze function automatically puts it into a deep sleep state to extend your battery life.
