4 Reasons to buy Google Pixel

Google is recently up with its all new Pixel smartphones. The traditional days of the Nexus upgrades are gone. Instead, a new device - Google Pixel is much similar to a premium headset with the thoughtful design. It is integrated with some heavyweight features, the best camera, and unlimited media storage. But is it worth a money?

Camera
The most amazing thing about this phone is its overall DxOMark Mobile score of 89, which is considered as the biggest score in the smartphone industry. Previous Nexus headsets have struggled quite a lot in the camera ecosystem, veering from very good to quite average. It has 12.3MP snapper and captures great back-lit scenes. It is quite impressive that HDR is turned on by default and doesn’t have any shutter lag. The quality of the picture, noise reduction, and color reproduction that all looked impressive.

Assistant
Google Assistant is a traditional one but is dressed up with the entire new entity. This re-brand makes a great personal assistant with the much better functionality. It is enhanced by holding a 2-way conversation. So if you ask a question such as “What restaurants are nearby?” Assistant will deliver. But it’ll also let you ask to follow up questions, like “which one is very near,” “reserve a table for me” and then “navigate me to that restaurant,” which then brings up Maps. The more you interact, the more assistant learns about your habits and customize its answers.

Free unlimited Photo storage
It is the fact that Pixel owners would get the free unlimited drive storage photos which are a huge boon. This is one of the amazing things who always cry out loud just for the sake of memory.

Faster Charging
It has got the fastest charging than most of the phones. It claims that the phone will last 7 hours on a 15-minute charge obviously it depends on the use of the phone, but overall it takes pride in charging. The thing is, its battery life is XL. 6P had a poor battery life. Hopefully, it is not same with Pixel.

Conclusion
The improved design is the quiet classy with the great camera. It is obvious that unlimited storage doesn’t come cheap. The most expensive model cost $819 which is similar to the iPhone7.

"Android Nougat" - Google announced the official name of Android N

Finally, the suspense, curiosity, and the hype for the name of Android 7 or Android N came to an end. On 30th June 2016, Google officially announced its 7th version of its Android Operating System. The much awaited Android N is now named as “Android Nougat”. Check out the official video Android Nougat Statue Unwrapping.

There was a much hype created around the world for this name search. Also, a few days ago, Google jokingly confirmed Android N name as Namey McNameface. (Read my earlier blog covering this topic: http://hiren-it-consultant.blogspot.in/2016/06/google-android-n-namey-mcnameface.html)

A worldwide campaign was executed in which the Google fans participated with lots of enthusiasm. After revealing this name, hearts of many fans were broken into pieces, especially from India. Earlier in May Google invited their fans to suggest the names for Android N. And the response was flooded with the sweet treats named Neyaappam, Nankhatai, Nutella, Newyork cheesecake and to the surprise, there was the massive response from Indians. And finally, it came with the name as Nougat which is a hard chewy white or pink sweet food, usually containing nuts.

Currently, Google is headed by an Indian CEO Sundar Pichai, and thus many fans thought that company would name its new version with an Indian dessert. The most hyped name was Neyaappam which is traditional South Indian delicacy from Kerala. Several campaigns were run to vote for this name on the website androidneyyappam.com. This website even suggested the logo somewhat similar to this dessert dish.

The release for the Android N was initially announced in March 2016, and this current beta which is likely said to be stable is up with the improved notification, emoji’s, split-screen multitasking, security, interactive assistance service, better battery life and also revamped the feature of Doze which came in the previous year of Marshmallow update. And it also has the feature of Daydream which will be only supported for the day-dream handsets. Soon these features will be rolling in all the Android smartphones. It is said that the next nexus phone will be based on Android N.
