This is the first official phone from Google. More or less
Google Tuesday filed their phones Pixel, 5-inch, and Pixel XL, 5.5-inch, something that represents the first time that the company takes the full control of the development of a device. The Pixel will be the first phone made with Google Assistant, the new digital assistant of the company which helps you to play music, find specific photos, and make reservations at restaurants. All this through simple voice commands.
During an event for the press held on Tuesday in San Francisco, Rick Osterloh, the head of the new group to hardware of Google, told the guests that Google is using devices like the Pixel to connect the hardware with their software more accurately, a strategy that its rival Apple has used since its founding.

James Martin/CNET“Make the hardware and software together allows us to take full advantage of the possibilities of such things as Google Assistant,” said Osterloh. “It’s a natural step that we thinking long-term.”
The name Pixel, which Google already uses for its tablets and Chromebooks, it will replace the brand of phones from the company, Nexus. Google had been using since 2010 for a series of devices of mid-range designed for fans and Android developers.
The new phones come at a time in which Google is trying to make a name for himself more as a manufacturer of hardware, using its users to find out more things about them (so that you can sell that information to advertisers) and build an ecosystem around its core business of search engine. The phones, along with the new speaker smart Google Home, should act as conduits to continue using Google for new searches, helping you to earn more money that way.
The more expensive price of the new phones Pixel — from US$ 649 in the united States — and other specifications indicate the intention of Google to make these devices direct rivals of the high-end phones, including the iPhone 7, Apple, and the Samsung Galaxy S7.
But taking into account that the name Pixel is still unknown for the majority of users, Google will have to face a challenge to find a place in the market phone. The company searches made an earlier attempt to get into solitary in the industry of phones and in the end he ended up selling his business of Motorola devices in 2014, less than two years after purchase.
in Addition, if Google has a lot of success with these phones, you can alienate other phone manufacturers that use its software Android on their own devices. The decision of Google to sell Motorola helped to reduce some of the friction arising from this issue.
Google executives was presumed of the camera Pixel, which does not add a hump to the rear of the device. Highlighted the clear pictures that makes the camera, the higher speed of its shutter, and an image stabilizing function to prevent pictures or videos being moved.
in order To get of interest to fans of photography, Google has made that the Pixel is available with unlimited storage for photos and video. Google also has a new tool to help iPhone users to transfer all of their data more easily to a new phone Pixel. And the Pixel is compatible with the new virtual reality goggles Google, Daydream.
The phone can start to be purchased in pre-sale starting this Tuesday. Verizon is the phone company that has the exclusive, but the Pixel can also be purchased from Google unlocked.
