Google Pixel - New smartphone from Google

Today Google had released a new smartphone that may or may not take over the world.
It's called Google Pixel and as far as I know this is the first smartphone made entirely by Google.

Personally, I always wanted to by a Nexus because I'm such a big fan of Google, but the fact that Google changed the manufacturer of Nexus each year, kind of ruined it for me. I mean seriously, I would never by a Motorola or even a Huawei?, sure these brands are popular and good for a lot of people, but they haven't appeal to me in the past.

Now that the first Pixel is out, I'm thinking my next smartphone will be from the Pixel line, if this first one turns out to be fantastic.

And something tells me it will:


I mean, it looks cool enough! Runs Android 7.1, has pretty much top smartphone specifications with a very fast battery charging feature. It also claims to have the best camera around, I won't get into specifics because the actual technology used in the camera is a little beyond my understanding, but Google promises its the best.
You can buy it in two version, 5 inches display and 5.5, I prefer the latter.

Along good specification you will also get a huge range of Google feature like the improved Google Assistant but also unlimited storage for you photos, at full resolution in Google Photos

Please share any specification related information if you find it.

I never had an Android phone and for some reason I don't know that I will buy it anytime soon. It's not that I am completely devoted to the Apple cult but I tried the Android OS and I absolutely can't operate it. My tablet is an Asus MeMo that runs Android and whenever I use it I feel like my grandfather. It's slow and it has way too many useless apps by default.

Oh and by the way, it looks like my iPhone which is not cool from Google.

Well, you said Asus, so yeah, there is pretty much nothing to add. Pixel on the other hand, will operate with the purest version of Android. No special skin and bloatware that any manufacturer out there will certainly add.

In theory, the OS of Pixel should be flawless. As for they way Pixel looks, well yeah most phone adopted Iphone's shape nowadays. It is also pretty hard to imagine a modern phone looking drastically different now.

I Think it is a new ways from google to reborn their google smartphone, more ever it is already run with android 7.1 with the more function absolutely, And I never used the Apple Products because some reason and i cannot operate that apple device. and i think from many operating system it has own benefit and disadvantages sides, as long we know and we make it suit with our need i think it would be great.

$450 for a brand new Google Phone? The cost will be around $1300 for the smaller version and for Pixel XL about $1500 per unit. Of course, the prices will vary in each country because of the contracts. However, you can get them cheaper with a monthly subscription plan for quite a small price.

You should know that Nexus was the "cheaper type brand" and Pixel is the high end. Anyhow, it appears to be a great phone so why not, give it a try if you can afford it.

Oh that looks like a helluva awesome phone for sure. I can't wait for those to come out here in South Africa.

For some reason I am just not fond of Samsung. I have a Samsung now and it works ok but I am getting annoyed with the amount of apps that are not compatible with my phone.

I might just consider getting out a contract again to get hold of that Google Pixel smartphone when it comes out. I have been on pay as you go for many years now and perfectly happy, but that would also explain why I have a bottom of the range smartphone wouldn't it?

Paying cash for a phone is a pain!

Some specs, courtesy of Google...

Release date: Oct. 4, 2016

Front-facing camera: 8 MP IMX179

Let's talk about the price.. $999 for a phone seems to be a bit too much. I think nowadays you're truly paying for the camera, seriously. Also, isn't the Apple iPhone 7 $999 too? Nice to have the same price, in terms of competition.. right? Now, we need to discuss the color choices.. Black, Silver, and Blue.. is that all there is?! I know some females are gonna be like, wheres my pink! LOL.
