Pixel comes in two sizes, 5” or 5.5”, and is available in two colours — Quite Black and Very Silver. So you can choose the look that suits you best. Its curved edges make it easy to hold and smooth to touch. With an aerospace-grade aluminum unibody and smooth surfaces, the phone was made to look and feel good in your hands.

 

2. The first phone with the Google Assistant built in    

Ask it questions. Tell it to do things. Your Google Assistant is always ready to answer questions and help you get things done. Just say “Ok Google” or touch and hold the Home button to start.

Try it out!  Say “Ok Google” or touch and hold the Home button.
Ask your Assistant for help finding a nearby cafe: Say, “Ok Google, where is the nearest cafe?
Then tap the mic and follow up with “remind me to leave for coffee with Maya at 7am”.

With a DxoMark Mobile score of 89, Pixel’s camera lets you take stunning photos in low light, bright light or any light. #Nofilter needed. Catch action shots as they happen with Smartburst, which takes a rapid-fire sequence of shots. Use Lens Blur to achieve shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, making your subject pop. And capture dramatic landscapes or make faces glow with new exposure controls.
