As the SDKs were released recently the product based services will require some time to develop.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/internet-and-technology-news\/google-joins-the-phone-wars-meet-pixel-phone-by-google\/#Camera\" title=\"Camera:\">Camera:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/internet-and-technology-news\/google-joins-the-phone-wars-meet-pixel-phone-by-google\/#Hardware\" title=\"Hardware:\">Hardware:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/internet-and-technology-news\/google-joins-the-phone-wars-meet-pixel-phone-by-google\/#Operating_System\" title=\"Operating System:\">Operating System:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/internet-and-technology-news\/google-joins-the-phone-wars-meet-pixel-phone-by-google\/#Google_saved_the_best_for_the_last\" title=\"Google saved the best for the last.\">Google saved the best for the last.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camera\"><\/span>Camera:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lets talk about the camera on PIXEL, it has got a 12.23 megapixel camera which is being called the best camera ever to be supported on a smartphone.<strong>\u00a0On the other hand we have the iPhone 7 plus which supports a dual-lens camera and is yet not the best<\/strong>. So the point is, why do you need that extra lens? As our ancestors said quantity does not make something better, if that was the case Kim Kardashian would have been a top model.\u00a0According to DxO Mark\u2019s tests, the Pixel\u2019s 12-megapixel camera surpasses the iPhone\u2019s 12-megapixel shooter. Actually,it surpasses every camera ever put up on a smartphone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware\"><\/span>Hardware:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now let\u2019s move on to the hardware aspect of PIXEL. The PIXEL embeds a really attractive hardware in its core. It is powered by the Snapdragon 821 which is the latest and most powerful processor developed by Qualcomm. The processor is a quad-core with 2\u00d72.4 GHz cores + 2\u00d72.0 GHz cores. Why does Snapdragon 821 has cores at different clock speeds? The simple answer is, power efficiency.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operating_System\"><\/span>Operating System:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>PIXEL runs on Android Nougat 7.1 which is a system update to Android 7.0 and is so new that it never existed day before yesterday. The USP (Unique Selling Point) of this system update is the embedded AI in it, the \u201cGoogle Assistant\u201d. Google Assistant could be positively said to be the best virtual assistant on a smartphone. Unlike most of the other producers Google offers clutter free and the most raw experience in PIXEL, which was only available in Nexus before. Having said that we are pretty sad at bidding good-bye to the Nexus flagship.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_saved_the_best_for_the_last\"><\/span>Google saved the best for the last.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The best thing that PIXEL has to offer is \u201c<strong>Unlimited Cloud Storage<\/strong>\u201c. All the PIXEL users will get an unlimited cloud storage from Google which is by far one of the best cloud services in the world.<\/li>\n<li>The next best thing is the Google Assistant which is for the first time is being embedded on a smartphone.<\/li>\n<li>PIXEL embeds the <strong>best camera<\/strong> on a smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote><p>With all that being said you can see that Google\u2019s PIXEL is a better device for value of your money. I think this one line from my brother\u2019s WhatsApp status sums it all up, it said, \u201cApple iPhone 7, because you have more money than common sense\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharify-container\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot would say, it was about time, I&#8217;d say it was about damn time that after a lot of pre-event leaks and revelations, we have a phone by Google.
