Bad news: Some of you might be getting your Google Pixel phone later than expected.
Good news: Google may reward you for your trouble!
After receiving high praise from critics - ourselves included - it appears Google is having a hard time keeping up with orders for its brand-new flagship phone.
This resulted in the search giant sending emails to customers late last week, saying it "may take a little longer" for those who purchased a Pixel around that time to receive the handset.

Given that a little extra waiting could result in $50's worth of apps, movies, music, YouTube Red, and more, Google's handout seems like a pretty good make-up call.
That said, there's no way to tell exactly which day affected customers can expect a Pixel on their doorstep, though a Google representative tells us that they should expect their orders to arrive this week, if it hasn't shown up already.
It sounds like Google is a bit surprised by the demand for its new flagship phone as well ... not that it's complaining.
“We’re thrilled to see the excitement for our new Pixel phones, and frankly pre-order demand has exceeded our expectations," a company spokesperson told TechCrunch. "We’re working to restock our inventory as soon as possible.”
At the time of writing, the larger 5.5-inch display Pixel XL is also selling fast - so much so that it's currently out of stock in the Google Store and putting interested customers on a wait list.
