There’s a lot to say about the Pixel announcement, so we’ll get right to it. It’s a phone designed in every way by Google, meaning the hardware and the software work together and have come out with a stronger showing than any of us expected. Aesthetically, it’s a great looking phone, clearly designed with a ton of care. For you photographers out there who were worried Google wouldn’t be able to compare with the cameras on other phones, don’t be. They have the highest rated camera of any available smartphone with features packed in that’ll guarantee you’re capturing the best images a cell phone can offer. There are also drastic improvements in battery technology as well. With the Pixel, you should be able to get 7 hours of usage after only fifteen minutes of charging. It’s available today for preorder and comes in three colors: Quite Black, Really Blue, and Very Silver (their words, not ours).
