News & Reviews:   Google Pixel specs

Google has announced that their latest Android 10 operating system, is now officially available for public use. However, it is best to note that the operating system is only available on Pixel smartphones for now. Google has mentioned before that they’re working closely with smartphone manufacturers, to ensure that their operating system is compatible with the devices it will be installed in.

It can be hard to remember every single password for every single account you’ve created online. Google has taken note of this and decided to make life (a little) easier for everyone. Android users (starting from the Google Pixel phones) can now verify their identities for Google services by using their fingerprints or screen lock instead of a password (hurray!).

Still known as one of the best cameraphones around, the Google Pixel's photography prowess comes in part from the software algorithms of the HDR+ feature in its Google Camera app. Now, according to Android Authority, B-S-G from 4PDA, modified Google Camera 4.4 which can be sideloaded for any device using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 821 and Snapdragon 835 (these include the LG G6, OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 5, Samsung Galaxy S8 and more). While this may improve the quality of low-light shots, we expect this modified HDR+ to also increase processing requirements, making these phones hotter than previously. If that doesn't bother you, feel free to download the app and sideload it into your device.

Do remember the post we made about Google saying the Pixel series will stay as premium devices? Well, news flash - there’s suddenly a new leaked information about Google secretly planning a new budget phone, or so we think it is according to how we interpret Rick Osterloh (Google Vice President)'s statement.

While we might still be far away from the next generation release of the Pixel smartphone, but AndroidPit recently had the chance to talk with Rick Osterloh, head of hardware at Google, during MWC 2017, and here are some details about its successor, the Pixel 2.

It's a big day for Google as the company unveils its Pixel smartphone. The phones drop its existing Nexus branding in favor of "Pixel", a nod to Google's existing tablet and Chromebook line. Both run on Android 7.1 Nougat, Google's most recent mobile operating system.

With the Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones officially announced already, we couldn't help but make some quick comparisons with the phones using our tech spec comparison tool. You can see some of our comparisons in the links below but clearly the Pixel and Pixel XL bring Electronic Image Stabilization and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor to the table, features which can be seen in both the Huawei Nexus 6P and ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe.
