Are you set to pre-order the Pixel or Pixel XL? Well, if you were hoping to grab one in the limited-edition Really Blue (really its name), there's some bad news. It's sold out.

Google's two new phones have pretty much identical specs. They have Google Assistant built-in and support Google's Daydream VR platform. They also come in three colors: Quite Black, Very Silver and the Really Blue, which was only available in the US.

Within minutes of being available for preorder, both phones in blue were sold out. My guess: The Blue Man Group is mixed up in this somehow. To feel a little better, check out our hands-on with the new Pixel and Pixel XL.

The main camera on the Google Pixel (shown) and Pixel XL phones combines a 12-megapixel sensor built by Sony   an f2.0 lens. Apple iPhone 7 has an f1.8 lens lets more light through, but Google argues its larger sensor compensates by capturing more photons.
The Google Pixel phone features a "glass shade" on the upper part of the back and a Google "G" to denote who designed the phone.
The front of the Pixel phones are white, but the overall phones come in "very silver," "quite black" and "really blue." On the upper-right corner is an 8-megapixel selfie camera that uses relatively large pixels for better low-light performance.
Fans of the decades-old 3.5mm audio jack standard will be happy to see one on the Google Pixel phone.
Like 2015

At the upper middle of the Pixel back is a fingerprint reader. When you swipe it, it both unlocks the phone and shows your recent notifications.
Below the Pixel phones "G" logo is one of several accents showing where antennas can harness radio signals.
The Google Pixel and Pixel XL both taper slightly, from 8.6mm at the top end to 7.4mm at the bottom.
The sides of the Google Pixel have chamfered edges.
On the left side of the Pixel is a SIM card slot.
