Google has officially announced its widely leaked Google Pixel smartphone touting it as the first phone made by Google inside and out.
Through Nexus, the goal was to work with these various partners to push the boundaries of what’s possible with a smartphone. We’ve now decided to take the next step and provide our take on the best Google experience, by bringing hardware and software design together under one roof.
Take a look at the Pixel's features as described by Google below!
Pixel, Phone by Google With Pixel, we obsessed over every detail, from the industrial design to the user experience. We carefully sculpted the surfaces of the phone, and rounded the edges to make it easy to grip. We used 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the front display and back glass to accent the aerospace grade aluminum body. The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint, our fingerprint sensor, which is placed on the back of the phone where your finger expects it. You can even swipe it to access your notifications. And no matter what you’re using your phone for, you’ll need a battery that lasts all day and charges fast — up to seven hours in 15 minutes.
The best smartphone camera. Ever. The Pixel camera is not only the best smartphone camera we’ve ever made, it’s the highest rated smartphone camera anyone has ever made. Our DxOMark Mobile score of 89 is a great example of what’s possible when great hardware meets great software. Pixel puts cutting-edge computational photography in an ultra-fast and easy-to-use camera.
Pixel has a 12.3MP camera, featuring an f/2.0 aperture and big 1.55 micron pixels to capture lots and lots of light. Our team of photography gurus and image processing experts have spent the last year designing and tirelessly optimizing our entire camera stack.
Pixel’s camera lets you take stunning photos in low light, bright light or any light. Catch action shots as they happen with Smartburst, which takes a rapid-fire sequence of shots and automatically selects the best one. Use Lens Blur to achieve shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, making your subject pop. You can capture dramatic landscapes or make faces glow with new exposure controls.
And as a special bonus for Pixel owners, we’re including free unlimited storage for original quality photos and videos at full resolution in Google Photos.
More to love Pixel ships with the newest Android operating system, Android 7.1 Nougat. Phones will get software and security updates as soon as they’re available, directly from Google. We’ve also made the update process easier. When a new update is available, it can download and install in the background — no more waiting around for your phone to update.
The Pixel also comes with Google Duo and Allo pre-installed so you can video call and text with all your friends, whether they’re on Android or iOS.
Make it yours Pixel comes in two sizes, 5” or 5.5”, and three colors: Very Silver, Quite Black and our limited edition for the U.S. only, Really Blue. And whatever you choose, we’ve got cases to match. In addition to customizing Live Cases with your favorite photos and places, we’re introducing a new Artworks collection that features exclusive designs from artists like Justin Maller, and photographers like Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. We’re also excited to offer a new collection of silicone and clear cases.
Pixel is available for pre-order today starting at $649 in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany and Australia. Pre-orders in India will begin October 13. In the U.S., we’re teaming up exclusively with Verizon to make Pixel available nationwide at all Verizon retail outlets, including Best Buy stores. We’re also offering Pixel unlocked on the Google Store and, for you Project Fi fans out there, you'll be happy to know that Pixel is the latest device to work on the Fi network
These phones really come down to your lifestyle and workflow. I work in the Apple eco-system when comes to my personal and professional life. If someone likes the Android platform better and features that work for them more power to you. I hope the release of these new phones makes Apple want to be more innovative and try new things. I love that as a consumer we have so much choice for our communication needs. It's the cornerstone of the free-market. No one puts a gun to your head and tells you, you have to buy a certain smartphone......if like a certain brand or phone buy it. Who the hell cares what other people think. Google users and Apple users can exist together in this world without issue or name calling. I mean look at what happen to Microsoft, they make smartphones that many consumers don't buy or like so they are not as popular. But hey, if you do like those phones its all good. I mean it's a smartphone for crying out load......the first world problems we have.
Yes you are right. it has andorid! :) it means you can easily download and install any applications- you can easily share files with Bluetooth - you can add memory card and install apps in memory. yes it has android . it means you can easily change the OS appearance or install your favorite theme. you can customize your device , you can transfer your files with out any problem. and so on. .... it is true it has endless potential
Hmm, android seems to have lots of useless features. They rush everything that's why it's such a disaster to use. Apple takes its time so that a feature actually has a full depth use.
Sorry but Apple is definitely the most put together company I've even seen. They're customer service is unmatched anytime I have had a problem they stop at mouthing to fix it for me. However you are right, in terms of hardware they need to catch up and iOS needs to have more pro features.
Apples hardware is behind as far as googles is, they have lower specs, however apples iOS takes full advantage of the specs and runs smoothly with not a lot of crashes(barely none but sometimes it does crash) while android phones have faster processors and more ram but their software is slower and bulking and full of bloat ware and crashes a lot, it has been getting better but still. So yeah, you've got it swapped.
What do you mean by slower processor ! you pay more you get less . you should compare them in reality . Undoubtedly android phones with same price of iOS phones by far are more powerful.
It literally looks just like an iPhone, except they made the apple logo a plain circle. What is the purpose of that circle btw? So innovative! So game changing! It's the iPhone 6SE (android edition)
