The case of the Google Pixel

Internet and software giant Google surprised tech industry insiders and Android lovers alike with its pair of flagship-priced phones about a month ago and most people still haven’t figured out what to do with. the new Pixel and Pixel XL phones. Both phones mark a total departure from Google’s previous way of doing things. In the past, Google has sold a range of Nexus devices for many years. These devices were always mid-range devices with very attractive specifications for the amount of money they cost. Nexus devices often had a number of shortcomings, but it was worth it for Android lovers because they shipped with the latest version of Android, with no third-party skins. They also got the latest versions of Android as soon as Google released them. All of this was enough for fans to overlook annoying issues that were endemic to the Nexus brand, such as poor cameras and not-so-great build quality.

Everything changes with the Pixel

However, all that changes with the new Pixel. The Pixel is the first time that Google has claimed to have designed the hardware itself, and while the results are somewhat generic, the build quality of the new Pixel phones cannot be faulted. To say that they are as well built as the new iPhones is high praise, but it is appropriate. Since most people using one of the new Pixels will be using Google Pixel cases and covers, just like with any other flagship phone, the fact that the phones look generic doesn’t matter anyway. Once the phones are available to buy online around the world, most people will be looking for designer Pixel cases as soon as they place their order for the new phones, to make them stand out from the crowd.

Almost all flagship features

In fact, the Google Pixel is the first time in history that even the most hardcore Android fans can honestly say that the company has released a phone without compromise. Roll down the spec list and the Pixel trades blows with the iPhone 7 and gives up very little ground. It is true that it does not have optical image stabilization, but if the first reviews are to be believed, the camera is just as good or even better than the new iPhones. The Google Pixel may not be waterproof like the newer iPhones, but it does have one amazing feature, the headphone jack that Apple scarified at the altar of water resistance. Given that most buyers will invest in Google Pixel cases anyway, the water resistance is of questionable value.
