Google Pixel release date and price
The Google Pixel costs $649 if you opt for 32 GB of
internal memory and $749 if you go for the model with 128 GB of memory.
There are Google Pixels available in several colors: (Quite) black or
(Very) silver. There is also a (Really) blue version available, though
this may just be for the U.S. Both the Pixel and Pixel XL will be
available in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK. You will
be able to buy the Google Pixel from the Google Play Store. The Pixel and Pixel XL is available in the US, Canada, UK,
Germany, Australia and India and was officially launched on October 20,
though pre-ordering has been available since October 4. Alongside the
Pixel, you’ll also receive a charger, a type-C USB cable, a type-C micro
USB adapter and a type-C to type-B USB adaptor. Missing from this lot
are headphones, which is quite surprising when you take the high price
into consideration.
Since going on pre-order, the Pixel and Pixel
XL have flown off the virtual shelves, resulting in a several week
shipping delay for anyone now considering ordering one. The first models
had previously been showing shipment dates of October 20, but you've
missed your chance to get one from Google directly in time for day one.
The new arrival dates vary, but show at least 2 - 3 week delays in all
colors and sizes. NO HEADPHONE.
Google Pixel design and build quality
The Google Pixel, with its 5-inch display, is in some
ways the successor to the Nexus 5X from last year. With this in mind,
you can really see a nice style evolution from last year’s Google
smartphone. In fact, it is probably one of the nicest smartphones Google
has produced since the Nexus 4 in 2012, however, it certainly isn’t the
best-looking model available on the Android market. And for the price, I
would have expected more from Google. The Galaxy S7 and the iPhone 7,
its main market competitors and the ones we compare it with the most,
are much more elegant when it comes to design. That being said, it
doesn’t mean that the build is better.
Google mixes metal and glass on the Pixel.
The Pixel offers a classic design. With its complete metal
design, aside from a portion of the rear that is covered in glass, it’s
definitely got style. Though the smartphone isn’t very thin, I wouldn’t
judge this negatively seeing as it keeps the camera lens from protruding
outside of the phone chassis, creating a long elegant line. Not only
that, there is also room for a mini headphone jack, a feature that other
manufacturers are slowly eliminating.
The bottom bezel is a very large and provides no added usage.
What I found to be a bit off-putting was the curiously light
weight of the phone. Google, it seems, has managed to reduce the weight
in all components of the phone, which makes the phone a lot lighter
than we expect it to be. Google and HTC constructed the corners in way
that makes the phone not only comfortable to hold, but also easy to pick
up off a flat surface. The sides are slightly angled, making it easy to
grip the phone.
At the top of the front of the phone, you will
find the speakers for phone calls. To the left of this just above the
display is the front-facing camera lens of 8 MP and the motion sensor.
And although there is no Home button at the bottom of the front of the
device, Google did put a large bezel under the screen, which takes up
space that could have been used for more display surface.
As
explained above, the back of the phone is partially covered by Gorilla
Glass 4 glass, which covers the digital fingerprint scanner (not to be
confused with a Home button), the NFC chip, the rear-facing camera of 12
MP and double LED flash (surrounded by a very thin aluminum frame). The
second part of the rear is made of aluminum with the engraved G for
Google. The antenna, which is a strip at the bottom of the phone, can
also be seen. The advantage of this mix of materials is that
fingerprints aren’t scattered over the entire device.
The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the glass covering.
The power button, which is slightly textured, can be found
on the right hand side of the device above the volume control buttons.
On the left, there’s a nano SIM slot. Don’t look for a microSD card slot
though because it doesn’t exist.
Also, Google decided not to make
the Pixel completely resistant to water with a certification of only
IP53, which is quite feeble next to the IP68 certification of the Galaxy
S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy Note 7. The phones that I have
mentioned can be dunked into a meter of water for up to 30 minutes, a
feat that you should not attempt with the Pixel. In the Pixel’s case,
you could use it in pouring rain, but only under the condition that it
is held vertically.
The power button is slightly textured.
All in all, the Pixel has been a tactile pleasure: your
fingers land right on the buttons and the dimensions will please all
those looking for a compact and unobtrusive smartphone. I also preferred
the black model, though I would be happy with the silver one as well.
However, when comparing the phone to its main rivals, the Pixel doesn’t
really stand out from the pack, as it doesn’t have that long-awaited wow
factor we had all hoped to see. Is it elegant? Yes. But exceptional?
No.
Google Pixel display
The Google Pixel offers a 5-inch AMOLED screen with
full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920, which is sufficient for a good
viewing experience. Some may complain about the lack of a QHD display,
which Google put on the Pixel XL, especially with the release of their
Daydream platform and virtual reality goggles. For normal usage, full HD
is more than adequate. Google optimized the user interface for Pixel,
the icons are smaller and give the impression that the screen is in fact
QHD.
The Full HD AMOLED display is a sight for sore eyes.
It comes as no surprise that the viewing angle for the
Google Pixel is very good. I did find that the brightness was a little
weak at times, though the colors were vivid and the text was very clear.
Contrast and saturation were also excellent. When using the phone
outside in broad daylight, I had no problem seeing what was on the
screen. On the whole, my findings definitely led me to the conclusion
that the display is top notch.
Finally, the display’s only fault
that I was able to determine was its frailty. I noticed a scratch after
having put the smartphone alongside another one in my jeans pocket. This
really surprised me seeing as the phone is protected by Gorilla Glass
4.
Google Pixel special features
Google Pixel support
The Pixel offers its
users support, which goes under the name of Care by Google. This service
is available from 9 AM to 9 PM from Monday to Friday and from 10 AM to 6
PM on the weekends. It is available directly from the Pixel settings,
found in the left tab (called Support) next to the tab with all other
Settings features (All).
Google offers its services via two
different methods: firstly, you can chat with a Google support
technician or secondly, you can call them directly on the phone. Also,
you can share your screen with a Google expert if need be, providing you
give them the rights to do so beforehand. However, this is optional if
you wish to preserve your privacy.
Google Support is available almost 24/7.
I was able to test out this service on the weekend and it
worked perfectly. I think that this solution will help countless users
fix their problems, especially those who aren’t so technically inclined.
Before accepting help, you need to give the support service permission to access your screen.
Google Pixel software
This is where Google’s latest update, Android 7.1
Nougat, is able to shine; both Pixel smartphones come with this
operating system. This is the first time that this version has seen the
light of day on a smartphone in 2016. It contains exclusive functions
such as the integration of Google Assistant.
Google has also
assured that the phone would receive 2 years’ worth of system updates
and three years’ worth of security updates. I would have hoped for more,
especially since this is Google’s new baby. Apple, on the other hand,
puts Google to shame by offering 4 or 5 years’ worth of updates for the
same price.
The purest and most fluid Android experience yet.
The Pixel comes out of the box with Android 7.1 Nougat.
Google claims that Pixel puts forward the best Android
experience that can be offered today. After one week of using the phone,
I can confidently say that they weren’t lying. The software running on
Pixel offers much more than what other Android smartphones are able to
offer. The pure , simple and lightning fast interface was breathtaking.
The apps open and close at warp speed. I didn’t notice any bugs or
glitches, nor did any apps close unexpectedly. There is no bloatware to
speak of, only two applications are pre-installed, Google Duo and Allo.
Google
released an update in Canada (and likely will soon be released to the
US and rest of the world) which will allow users to wake their screen to
see their notifications and alerts using the same double tap and
raise-to-wake functions as their Nexus predecessors.
Pixel Launcher is the default on the Pixel.
The design is also easy on the eye with its small circular
icons. Google also had the smart idea to integrate Force Touch, a
feature that Apple also has. This means that when you long press on an
app icon, you get access to multiple shortcuts (up to 5) to launch
various actions. For example, by default Google will offer the option to
display your route home.
Google adds shortcuts to apps when long pressing on them.
A second partition, which is also a new feature, allows
silent updates to roll out much more smoothly. Android updates are in
fact installed in the background and happen automatically when you
restart your phone, which saves you the long wait usually occurs with
Android updates.
Google Assistant
Another exciting
addition to the new interface is the perfect integration of Google
Assistant. Thanks to this feature, the user experience with Pixel is
very different to that of other smartphones. Searches are always carried
out in context and, thanks to the system’s Artificial Intelligence, are
spoken out loud to you. Google Assistant can be activated by long
pressing the on-screen Home button.
Assistant is the pièce de
resistance of the Pixel smartphones. Its interface is simple and the
voice sounds very pleasant. That being said, I don’t see why I need to
start a conversation with Google Assistant when I can simply search for
something through the Google app. I also found that Assistant is still
missing some functions and it seems that it is still under development,
so future versions should be much better. For example, I couldn’t order a
pizza. Though this comes down to personal taste, Google Assistant
shouldn’t be your sole reason for buying a Pixel.
Google Pixel performance
The Snapdragon 821 (alongside the Samsung Exynos
8890) is the fastest processor that exists for Android. It has been
optimized to work smoothly with the VR Daydream platform, contrary to
the Snapdragon 820. It is also great for gaming. The Pixel boasts the
best possible equipment to offer great usability and performance without
compromise. With 4 GB of RAM, it offers high speed performance for all
multitasking purposes.
The Google Pixel’s excellent performance
often outshone even the Galaxy S7 in some areas. This is probably the
most optimized Android smartphone I have ever used. The only time the
phone overheated (however this was only ever so slightly) was when I
took some photos with the camera or played some graphically demanding
games.
The Google Pixel doesn't overheat more than its competitors.
Google has also upped the ante when it comes to gaming
experience, providing a better experience than the Nexus can offer and
even better than the Galaxy S7 in some instances.
Its biggest
weakness is, however, its small memory, which cannot be expanded with a
microSD card. The system uses up 7 GB of the 32 GB model, leaving just
25 GB for apps, pictures etc. If you are an app addict, then you will
soon run out of space. Thankfully, Google offers unlimited cloud storage
for high resolution pictures, which should compensate for the lack of
the microSD card slot.
Here are the benchmark results that we received for the Pixel:

Google Pixel audio
Here lies one of the Pixel’s biggest problems. Google
clearly didn’t make sound one of its priorities. The smartphone only
has one mono speaker on the bottom of the device. This sound emitted is
of average quality, which is sufficient for playing games or watching
movies. That being said, the maximum volume becomes a little warped and
is not pleasant to listen to. What’s more, when holding the device, your
fingers tend to cover up the speaker.
On the other hand, using
the Google Pixel for phone calls won’t leave you disappointed. I had
excellent reception, even in the subway and both the caller and callee
could hear each other perfectly. Google has
recently confirmed that the audio issues which have hounded the Pixel
are a hardware issue, so they will not be able to rectify these via a
software update. While the company hasn't gone as far as offering
refunds for the Pixel and Pixel XL, Google is offering a warranty
replacement to any affected owners.
Only the left side hides a speaker.
Google Pixel camera
Google chose not to offer a double camera, a new
trend followed by the likes of LG, Huawei and Apple. Its main camera
shoots with 12.3 MP. According to the DXOMark, the Pixel is one of the
best smartphones for taking pictures, beating rivals like the Galaxy S7.
The Google Pixel has a great camera.
While testing the device, I also came to the conclusion that
it has a good camera. But the best? Not really. When comparing it with
the S7, I found that the Pixel was less apt at taking pictures of moving
objects. The Pixel also doesn’t have an optical image stabilizer
however, this didn’t cause a problem when shooting videos. This feature
did make a difference with pictures though.
Google Pixel vs iPhone 7 vs iPhone 6s camera.
The camera interface is no different than the one found on
Nexus devices, coming with the same features, 4K video and fast motion. I
had fun using slow motion after shooting videos. The front shooter
offers 8 MP (1.55 µm) and an aperture of f/2.0. There’s also a point
laser and a dual tone flash. The Pixel will satisfy any selfie fan.
The camera interface is classic, simple and efficient.
Google Pixel battery
The Pixel comes with a 2770 mAh battery. Considering
the phone’s thickness, I would have expected more. For example, phones
of the same quality offer batteries around the 3000 mAh mark, like the
Galaxy S7, the Huawei P9 and the Xiaomi Mi 5.
Here is what happened to the Pixel battery when using the phone at full throttle.
Thankfully, Google was able to perfectly optimize hardware
and software to reduce unnecessary battery drainage, which became
apparent while I was testing it. I wouldn't say that it has the best
longevity out of all the phones on the market, but it will give you a
good day’s worth of usage even if you use it at full throttle (taking
pictures, 4K videos, benchmark tests, WhatsApp, emails, games etc.). You
can count on the Pixel for about 5 hours with normal brightness before
the battery starts to dwindle. If you don’t use it so intensely, your
battery life will be longer. There is no wireless charging, however
quick charging is available. Within an hour and a half, your phone will
be ready to go again. During Google’s unveiling of the device, they had
promised a full 7 hours of usage after just 15 minutes of charging.
This, however, is not very realistic.

Final verdict
My thoughts on the Pixel? For Google’s
first independent smartphone, they did a good job and it fits right in
alongside other high contenders on the market. Apple has its iPhone,
Google has its Pixel.
If you’re looking for the best Android experience, Pixel is the way
to go. The system is smooth, performance is excellent and you are sure
to get system updates on time and ahead of the pack. It has a remarkable
camera and offers a support service that you can reach almost 24/7. Not
only that, the fact that it can be easily rooted will also make modders
and tweakers happy.
The down side is, of course, the high price. One should consider if
the Pixel is really worth it. Can the Pixel really compete with the star
Android device of the moment, the Galaxy S7, which is about $200 less?
The Pixel is a great smartphone but it is very expensive. Its design,
though very elegant, is not very original and it is missing some
functions which are sorely missed, such as a microSD slot.
The Pixel smartphones by Google therefore still have a few things to
fix before they can beat the bigger contenders on the mobile market -
the Galaxy S7 and the iPhone 7. However, I am sure that the Google Pixel
2 will be better equipped and ready to take the Android world by storm.

phone or take voice commands. This useful tip, is good if you are
driving or want to perform certain tasks vocally. To enable voice detection, head into Settings > Voice and
enable the option for Google's detection. Next, you'll want to head to
the Google app (or widget search bar) and go into the app's settings to
enable Google Now. You'll now be able to set reminders, have personalised
notifications and be able to control your phone through voice (normally
done by saying: "Ok Google").
Best Android tips & tricks: Secure or wipe your phone
Security is always important, as there's a lot of data we
store on our phones. If we were to lose our phones we could be giving
away a lot of information.
To enable this, head into Security within your device's
Settings. From here, depending on your device, you'll have an array of
different security settings to choose from, this includes phones with
fingerprint scanners.
Best Android tips & tricks: Take a screenshot
Taking a screenshot on Android can be useful if you want to
brag about the Pokemon you've just caught, to sharing bug reports with
developers.
To take a screenshot on most Android devices, hold the power
button and volume down button simultaneously. This will take a
screenshot and save it within your pictures.
Best Android tips & tricks: Find a file
If you're looking for a file, such as a screenshot, you'll be able to find it in the root directory of your Android device.
To find the folders and files you're after, head to the
Files app. If you don't happen to have a Files application installed,
you can install one for free, such as ES file explorer
Navigate to your Internal Storage and in our example, look
for the Pictures folder. In this folder, you'll find your Screenshots
folder among others, such as WhatsApp folders, which holds media shared
to and from your WhatsApp contacts. Knowing this folder is useful when
you want to transfer images taken from your phone to your computer. As
by default, the root directory will hold the DCIM folder, where all your camera photos will be stored.

As we all know WhatsApp is know showing the blue check marks which
lets senders know the recipient has read the message. This particular
feature has an advantage as well as disadvantage.
The advantage is you will know whether the receiver has read the
message or not. But at the same time, the disadvantage is if you do not
reply to the sender right away, the sender may feel awkward and will
assume that you have ignored them.
To avoid such awkward situations, here are few simple methods you can use to read WhatsApp messages without alerting the sender’s attention to their action by triggering the blue ticks.
1. Disable Read Receipts Option
Disabling “Read receipts” option is the probably the easiest method to read a Whatsapp message without notifying the sender. By doing so, you’ll disable the ability of WhatsApp
to show blue ticks to the sender that tells them that you’ve read their
message. But the downside is that you will not be able to see the
double blue check marks when someone has read your message as well.
Here’s how to disable it.
Open WhatsApp and go to the ‘Settings’ menu
Tap on ‘Accounts’ and then on ‘Privacy’.
Untick the ‘Read Receipts’ option
2. Peep from the Notification Bar
This is another simple method to read WhatsApp message without alerting the sender. Whenever you get a message on WhatsApp, it shows a notification on your notification bar. Simply swipe down the notification area from the top of the screen and you can easily read the complete or partial message from the notification bar without opening the app. The blue ticks show only when you open the app to read messages.
3. Turn Off WiFi/ Mobile Data Connection
Once you get a message don’t open the app immediately, turn off the WiFi or mobile data and this will take WhatsApp
offline. Now go ahead and read the message and you won’t alert the
sender since you’ll be reading the message from app cache. To ensure you
don’t blow your cover make sure to close WhatsApp app before turning off your WiFi/ mobile data connection.
4. Place WhatsApp Widget to Your Home Screen
If you don’t want to go the extreme length of turning off all your phone’s connectivity. You can place WhatsApp
widget on your home screen to read the message at a glance. Since
reading message via widget doesn’t open the app so you can keep the blue
ticks from showing up. You can even reply to other messages without
having to send read receipts to the sender you wish to ignore. But the
problem of this method is you can see text messages and emoticons only, images, videos, and voice notes are not supported.
To add the WhatsApp widget to your home screen, tap and hold on a clear area of the screen, then choose Widgets. Keep swiping until you find WhatsApp, tap and hold on the WhatsApp widget, then drag it to where you want it to appear on your home screen.
NO HEADPHONE.
