Google Pixel 2 to Hit the Market

Google plans to launch its new smartphone, the Pixel 2, in two months. But what features does this model have, and can it compete with the serious contenders from Apple and Samsung? Google will release the new generation of its phones early this fall. This phone will be cheaper than the new iPhone model, which is set to be unveiled in September, and the Samsung Note 8, which will also be launched this month. Therefore, it may attract many customers. The display bezel of the Pixel 2 has been reduced compared to the Pixel 1 model. It seems Google is also considering increasing the screen-to-body ratio of its phones. The Pixel 2 features an OLED display, which will enhance display quality. The resolution of this phone is QHD, and the displays needed for the Pixel are supplied by LG. The hardware of this phone will use the most advanced processor from Qualcomm. Various technology sites around the world have reported the use of Snapdragon 836 in this phone. If this information is correct, the Pixel 2 will be the first phone to use this processor. Currently, most flagship phones worldwide use Snapdragon 835. Other technical specifications of this phone include 4GB of RAM. The Adreno 540 graphics processor is set to be used in the Pixel, which can run all Android games. This phone has 128GB of internal storage. According to published information, this phone has a 12-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. If Google launches its new product with these specifications, despite being strong in hardware, it will be weaker in photography and videography compared to the new iPhone and Samsung phones. Nevertheless, the Pixel 2 has a significant strength: its software capabilities. The latest version of Android will be introduced for this phone this fall. The new Google Assistant will also be used for the first time in this phone. Gradually, these software features will be made available to other models, but the Pixel Android has its unique advantages. The price of the Pixel 2 is expected to be around $800, which is cheaper than the new iPhone and Samsung Note 8. However, the new iPhone model features a strong dual camera, and the Note model benefits from a smart pen. Still, the Pixel has a lot to offer with its unique and new Android. In terms of performance, based on AnTuTu benchmark reviews, the current Pixel ranks as the tenth Android phone of 2016. This is while many had higher expectations for this phone. In 2016, surprisingly, most of the Chinese phones managed to surpass the Google Pixel. According to AnTuTu reviews in the Android phone section, the OnePlus 3T (with 163,000 points), LeEco Pro 3 (with 159,000 points), and Moto Z from Motorola (with 148,000 points) ranked first to third in 2016. However, the camera of this phone has attracted some reviews, with the reputable site DPReview naming the Pixel's camera as the best mobile camera among those introduced in 2016. The Pixel and Pixel XL are phones with a distinct appearance and, of course, very powerful hardware that are released with the Google logo. The Pixel and Pixel XL have 5 and 5.5-inch displays, respectively, and both utilize the Snapdragon 821 processor along with 4GB of RAM. The Pixel weighs 143 grams, while the Pixel XL weighs 168 grams. The 5-inch Pixel display has a resolution of 1080 by 1920, and the 5.5-inch Pixel XL display has a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. Both phones use nano SIM cards. Additionally, both Google phones are equipped with Gorilla Glass 4, a Snapdragon processor with a 4-core architecture, and Adreno 530 graphics. The internal memory of these two Google phones is 32 or 128GB, and they have 4GB of RAM or temporary memory.
