Google's Pixel phone: Not much new, but still a standout

The first reviews of the new handset hit the internet today, and while positive, the consensus is that Google's phone is good - but not great. At a special event in San Francisco the firm unveiled a raft of new products - even though most of them have already leaked online. They included two new phones, a Pixel and the 5.5-inch Pixel XL, which go on sale on Thursday. Google achieves that by pulling together the best features from Apple, Samsung and other phones and offering them at prices comparable to iPhones -- starting at about 650 for the regular, 5-inch model and 770 for the 5.5-inch'XL' edition. Both versions go on sale Thursday through Verizon, Best Buy and Google's online store.
