Google Announces Pixel

Google just announced for the first time a family of products that brings people the best of Google through hardware and software made by Google.

“We’re excited that the lineup features the first phone made by Google inside and out — Pixel,” said Brian Rakowski, VP Product Management Google.

With Pixel, Google obsessed over every detail, from the industrial design to the user experience. They carefully sculpted the surfaces of the phone, and rounded the edges to make it easy to grip. Pixel used 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 on the front display and back glass to accent the aerospace grade aluminum body. The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint, its fingerprint sensor, which is placed on the back of the phone where your finger expects it. You can even swipe it to access your notifications. And no matter what you’re using your phone for, you’ll need a battery that lasts all day and charges fast — up to seven hours in 15 minutes.

Pixel is the first phone with the Google Assistant built in. With your Assistant, you can have a natural conversation with Google to find answers or get things done on the go.
