Google Pixel XL Sound and Connectivity

Sound and Connectivity

For audio, the Pixel XL included a bottom-firing loudspeaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack, making it versatile for traditional headphone users. Connectivity options were robust, featuring Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX support, and NFC, which was useful for contactless payments via services like Google Pay. Positioning was supported through GPS and GLONASS, though the absence of FM radio was a minor downside.
