A lucky guy from Australia who guised under the name "Wooparse" shared a first look of Google's first and most anticipated smartphone release. Carrier Telstra accidentally sent a Google Pixel handset a week earlier than its schedule release: October 20.

Wooparse posted his reviews on Reddit to show the phone's great and not-so-great features. A picture of the unboxing can be seen on his post. He also posted two N5 versus Google Pixel comparison pictures which shows how the new release fared with another carrier's model.

He also shared how nothing is extraordinary with Google Pixel's battery. But over the other amazing things this phone can offer, the battery won't affect how users will love everything else about it.

Wooparse says Google Pixel has satisfying clicks, and the camera will serve users during great occasions. Mind you, the camera boasts a 4K quality. He also noted the noise-isolating earphones the phone has. Wooparse's post got a whopping 1,397 up-votes on the first day where he automatically earns a Reddit Gold.

A lot of reports say that Google Pixel will take a great benefit from Samsung Note 7's recent misfortune. Branding Brand gave a comprehensive report on a survey about how Samsung's loyal customers take the news. According to the report, the number of people who won't buy from Samsung after the second recall rose up to 40 percent.

From that count, 62 percent declared that they will look for other android makers who can fare up with the brand; 30 percent will buy the latest Apple release - iPhone7 - and 8 percent plans to shift to Google Pixel. Since the phone has not been formally released yet, the report says this number can possibly go higher. Google Pixel is expected to arrive to customers who preordered the device by October 20 this year.
