This month of October, Google officially announced their new product named Pixel. If you were a follower of Google product, Pixel might sound familiar to you because they used it before in their consumer hardware products. Pixel was created by Google from hardware to software. It boasts a 12MP camera and f/2.0 aperture to brighten up your photos and an 8MP secondary camera that can record 1080p videos. That’s not bad for a secondary camera specially to the selfie addicts. Google claimed that Pixel has the highest rate for the smartphone camera. I don’t know yet because up until today, I’m still a big fan of Nokia808 Pureview. :D

Google Assistant

I saw it in one of their Youtube videos that this phone has a built-in Google Assistant. It’s like their own version of Siri but you can chat with it. I tried Google Assistant via Allo, Google’s version of Whatsapp. You can ask the Assistant to set your reminder, schedule a meeting, ask for weather, etc.

The phone can be pre-ordered via their Google Pixel's Website and is expected to be released this coming October 20, 2016 at a price range of $769 for the 32GB variant and if you want an extra memory, it will cost $869 for the 128GB variant.
