Google Pixel hands-on: Say hello to Google’s future

Google is jumping headfirst into the smartphone market with its new Pixel devices, both of which were announced in San Francisco earlier today. On the surface, they don’t look particularly groundbreaking—it’s fair to say they look like nearly every other smartphone on the market.


But Google is making a huge bet on AI with Assistant and the Pixel will be the first phonewith the software built in. Is Google’s AI enough of a draw to sell an entire ecosystem over, say, an iPhone 7? That remains to be seen; Google certainly thinks so.
At Google’s event, we went hands-on with the Google Pixel, a device that will be the face of the search giant over the next 12 months. As we said, the design doesn’t really standout as anything spectacular, although Google made sure to emphasize that the 12.3-megapixel camera is the best on the market—at least according to a DxOMark rating. We’ll put that to the test when we have the opportunity to spend more time with the device.
This is just a quick glimpse of the Pixel, a device that’s not only the future of Google but a device that’s actively competing against devices like the Galaxy Note 7 and iPhone 7. Is it enough to stand out in a crowded market? Pre-orders for the Pixel are available today at $649, with shipments expected to go out over the next few weeks. We’ll bring you our hands-on video shortly.
