Pixel, new phone made by Google

This month, google announced for the first time a family of products that brings people the best of Google through hardware and software made by Google. Google is excited that the lineup features the first phone made by Google inside and out — Pixel.

For those of you who have followed Google closely, that name may sound familiar to you because google used the Pixel name in the past for consumer hardware products that represented an overall premium Google experience. Many of you may also be familiar with the Nexus program. Since 2010, google partnered closely with mobile handset partners around the world to bring you the best of Android. Through Nexus, the goal was to work with these various partners to push the boundaries of what’s possible with a smartphone. Google now decided to take the next step and provide our take on the best Google experience, by bringing hardware and software design together under one roof.

With Pixel, google obsessed over every detail, from the industrial design to the user experience. Google carefully sculpted the surfaces of the phone, and rounded the edges to make it easy to grip. Google used 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 on the front display and back glass to accent the aerospace grade aluminum body. The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint, our fingerprint sensor, which is placed on the back of the phone where your finger expects it. You can even swipe it to access your notifications. And no matter what you’re using your phone for, you’ll need a battery that lasts all day and charges fast — up to seven hours in 15 minutes.
