\t \tGoogle decided it’s time to bring its phones out of their shadowy niche and duke it out directly with top manufactures such as Samsung and Apple. Welcome to the new Pixel phone era.<\/p>\n

\t \tWith premium features exclusive to Pixel phones and a sales plan that means you might actually find one in a store, the company is showing significantly more ambition than it did with the last six years of Nexus-branded phones.<\/p>\n

\t \tThe 5-inch Pixel and 5.5-inch Pixel XL are officially called “Pixel, a phone by Google” and have a “G” on the back, signifying how Google designed the phones on its own instead of tweaking another company’s product into a Nexus. Google is now the one picking components, providing support and promoting the phones.<\/p>\n

\tSo what does that ambition get you?<\/p>\n

\t \tUnlike last year’s mid-range Nexus 5X<\/a><\/span> and premium Nexus 6P<\/a><\/span>, the Pixel phones are both top-shelf models. Google wants you to think of them as rivals to the most prestigious models out there, Apple’s iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models. They each have quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processors — two cores running at 2.15GHz and two at a more battery-efficient 1.6GHz — with a boost from Qualcomm’s Hexagon technology<\/a> for tasks such as image and audio processing. The phones have OLED screens, 4GB of memory and either 32GB and 128GB of storage space.<\/p>\n

\t \tStarting at $649 in the US, \u00a3599 in the UK and AU$1,079 in Australia, the 32GB Pixel is about the same price as Apple’s iPhone 7<\/a><\/span> and Samsung’s Galaxy S7<\/a><\/span>. The 128GB model costs $749, \u00a3699 or AU$1,229 and the corresponding Pixel XL models cost $769 and $869, \u00a3719 and \u00a3819 or AU$1269 and AU$1,419. Preorders begin now, with the phone arriving in stores and online on October 20. There’s no expandable storage.<\/p>\n

Google went adverb-happy with the colors: “very silver,” “quite black” and “really blue.” Limited availability means only the US will get the blue version initially. The back of the phone is actually two-tone, with a glossy “glass shade” across the top to make antennas work better and a more ordinary bead-blasted metal finish across the bottom. Like the front display, the glass shade employs Gorilla Glass 4 for scratch resistance. <\/p>\n

In the hand, the Pixel’s metal-and-glass body definitely feels a step above Google’s previous Nexus handsets, with fewer exposed seams. The smooth aluminum makes for a premium, iPhone-like feel, but with chamfered edges that make it a bit less slippery. <\/p>\n
