Alphabet : Pixel smartphone leads Google charge into hardware 4-Traders
Tech giant Google on Tuesday at a San Francisco news conference presented a new family of its products, featuring the new Pixel smartphone and the launching of the Daydream View virtual reality headset. Pixel was, without a doubt, the star product at the event. Rick Osterloh, the firm's vice president of hardware, praised the design of the new Google devices and explained that - for the first time - they come installed with the Google Assistant function and will work with virtual reality if one incorporates the Daydream headset. In addition, he said that the Pixel's camera is the best ever used in a smartphone - with a DxOMark score of 89, the highest ever awarded - and, among other features, it automatically manages image exposure, including pictures taken in low-light conditions. Also, Osterloh emphasized that these phones, which work with the Android 7.1 Nougat operating system, will have unlimited memory capability and will come with the Duo videocall application - similar to Apple's FaceTime - automatically installed.
