Colors in some shots look too strong and clean to me, thanks to software processing meant to reduce distortion and improve detail (something all phones do to some extent).

For now, the Pixel phone is the only Android phone with Google Assistant. We came away impressed in our review, and buyers will be happy once theirs arrive.

Google says the Pixel provides all-day battery life with average mixed use. You'll find an antenna band across the bottom of the aluminum back, along with Google's new signature "G" logo. It's now only available on Google's new Pixel phones - but you can expect to see it become more widely available on Android devices in the future. They run a brand new version of Android 7.1 Nougat with loads of custom features.

Google Assistant is basically just a glorified version of Google Now from last year's phone, and there's no way it's worth the extra few hundred dollars.

For 2016 Google made a radical shift in their strategy for smartphones. Our focus with this phone is going to be on the camera, the software, and yes the Google Assistant. The AI-powered tool always learn by itself to adapt and serve as you need helps. Catering to the entire market for those who want a big or small phone. Check out the features below to see which one is best for college students. The more Google services you use, the better Assistant becomes at helping you. It may be too early to judge but the Pixel has a big potential to sell more than the Nexus. Here's the full breakdown for those interested. All reviewers note that the Pixel's hardware design bears a striking resemblance to the iPhone.

Smartphone cameras have been great for a while, but the Pixel's rear camera is still impressive. It's a gamble for Google as it risks alienating its Android partners and the Nexus faithful alike. Similarly, Pixel XL is available at a whopping £719 and £819 for 32GB and 128 GB storage respectively. For starters, there's the Google Assistant. Our order is still set to "pending" and we chose overnight delivery. Samsung's device is also IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, while Google's is only IP53. Meaning it has the hardware inside to work with virtually nearly all carriers. And maybe it's how I talk to computers, but every time someone else was around when I said "OK Google", they didn't think it was a command-they thought I was annoyed and talking to my phone.

A Telstra customer received his pre-ordered Google Pixel smartphone ahead of the October 20 launch date and shared snaps and review of the latest Android phone on social media. The smaller size, the regular Pixel, is 5.66 inches long, 2.74 inches wide and a bit more than 5 ounces. The LG V20 has a 32GB and a 64GB unit while the Google Pixel XL has both of those plus a 128GB model, both expandable via the use of micro SD cards. This is a $100 up-charge. Google Store Financing isn't the usual instalment plan.

Pepsi challenge: cutting back on sugar by 2025
PepsiCo has saved hundreds of millions of dollars since 2010 through water, energy and waste-reduction programs. Other goals include reducing its carbon footprint and achieving increased water savings worldwide.

Google's ambitious new smartphone, the Pixel, doesn't offer a lot that's new.

The Pixel and Pixel XL are each available in three color options: Very Silver, Quite Black, and the Limited Edition Really Blue. Although it could be released later this year. Verizon and Google never had the best relationship, but that's all about to change. Unlike other cameras, the Pixel camera not only saves the photos individually, but turns them into a separate animated GIF. Those aren't the only carriers though, and more details are below regarding that. Otherwise, the only other hardware buttons on the device are for power and volume. Most likely it will work on all USA carriers, including Project Fi.

United Kingdom retailers also appear to be being affected by the shortages. The screen is up there with the best with excellent contrast and colours - similar to Samsung phones, the display can look like a glossy magazine at times. Below is just one Pixel Accessory of many to surely come.

Google tries to make it easy to switch. Stay tuned for more updates.
