Here are some interesting impressions of the latest Google smartphone from the perspective of an iPhone 11 Pro user.
The facial authentication system in Google’s latest Pixel 4 line of smartphones can be easily defeated because the face unlock feature works even if the user’s eyes are completely shut.
For some early Google Pixel 3 XL device owners, there are actually two notches present thanks to a weird software glitch.Â
Google has not been able to completely get rid of the bezels on an upcoming Pixel phone. Rumor has it that the bigger Pixel will feature a tall notch housing two camera lenses.
Just like Apple, Google may launch its own brick-and-mortar stores in India.
Pixel 2 is a fine smartphone so it’s very unfortunate that it ships with a display that is seemingly of such low quality.
The new Pixels are optimized for AR, have depth-of-field mode that doesn’t require two camera lenses and can recognize songs without sending audio snippets to the cloud.
The search giant could announce its next-generation Pixel 2 smartphone lineup just a few weeks after Apple launches its iPhone 8, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus.
Google has hired Manu Gulati, had been spearheading Apple’s chip developments for close to eight years, to work on the chips for future Pixel smartphones.
Speaking with journalists at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Google’s Vice President of Hardware, Rick Osterloh, has confirmed that the successor of the company’s Pixel smarthones will be launching later this year, Android Pit reported Friday. Osterloh shot down reports calling for a budget Pixel edition, saying Pixels remain premium smartphones.
While Google showed no intent to abandon its premium smartphone brand, the company’s premium notebook bearing the Pixel brand has reached the “end of the line” status after shipping just two generations since 2013, according to Osterloh in a report by Frederic Lardinois for TechCrunch.
Siri continues to receive criticism over at times unreliable performance although Apple’s been advancing its personal digital assistant by leaps and bounds since its debut in October 2011.
Google, on the other hand, is regularly praised for its powerful knowledge graph and accuracy.
You probably know that the search company’s exciting new feature, Assistant, recently made its debut on the new Pixel smartphones.
With that in mind, YouTuber Marques Brownlee took it upon himself to pit the Pixel’s Assistant against the iPhone’s Siri in a cool side-by-side video comparison.
Let the battle of the smartphone voice assistants begin!
YouTubers like JerryRigEverything and repair wizards over at iFixit tore apart their Pixel XL smartphone from Google to peek under its hood, revealing easily removed battery, standard screws, the use of modular internal components that can be replaced independently and—quite surprisingly—the front-facing earpiece slit which is made of cloth.
Launched on October 4, both new Google-designed smartphones, the Pixel and Pixel XL, are exclusive to Verizon in the U.S. Contract-free Pixels are available via Google’s online store and from Best Buy.
