Google Takes on Apple and Samsung with Pixels

 

The Pixel and Pixel XL are the first ever smartphones to feature the Google Assistant built in. Google Assistant is Google artificial intelligence software that is also incorporated in the Google Home speaker.


  

The Pixel and Pixel Xl have the same classic design as Apple’s newly released iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. However, there are some differences. Google mentioned that the Pixel phones received a rating of 89 by DXO Mark Mobile. This is the highest rating ever for a smartphone.

Google’s senior vice president Rick Osterloh, made a subtle jab at the iPhone 7 during the October event presentation by saying that the Pixel doesn’t have an “unsightly camera bump”.
