Last Tuesday Google officially presented the new Google Pixel, which will hit the market in two different versions depending on the size of the screen. After seeing the first mobile device “made in Google” on stage, although it has had the essential help of HTC, most of us have reached the same conclusion and that it is none other than that we expected more from the new smartphones of the search giant.
There is no doubt that both the Google Pixel and the Google Pixel XL are two very powerful terminals, which have, for example, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor supported by 4GB of RAM, and with more than interesting characteristics and specifications. Nevertheless Google has forgotten some things in its new Google Pixel that make them become a smartphone that could perfectly go unnoticed on the market if it was not manufactured by Google.
Below we show you 7 of the things that in our opinion we believe that Google has forgotten in the Google Pixel and that make them one more mobile device than there are on the market.
IP53 certification against water
Most of the smartphones that reach the market today do so with the IP67 or IP68 certification that make it resistant to water and dust and also allow us in most cases to immerse our devices in the bathtub or in a pool during a long period of time.
Google, however, has endowed its Google Pixel with the IP53 certification that protects them against dust and water spray. This means, explained in a simple way, that you cannot under any circumstances put your new Google mobile device in water.
If you have any doubts with this certification, take a look at those that the majority of terminals present in the market have and you will realize the tremendous error of the search engine.
Wireless charging or a clear step back
La wireless charging It is something that users like more and more because it allows us to forget about annoying cables forever. The Google Pixels are not equipped with this feature, despite the fact that their back made of metal and glass do allow using this type of charge.
Google in this sense has taken a clear step backwards and it is that for those who do not remember it We already had wireless charging years ago in a Nexus mobile device, specifically in the successful Nexux 4.
Optical stabilization
The Google Pixel camera has been cataloged by those who have already been able to test the device as one of the best on the market and this is also demonstrated by the first images we have seen. However, we believe that Google could have taken an even greater note in this section and that is that the camera of its new terminal does not have optical stabilization, something that is usually very useful and that is already present in many of the best mobile devices on the market .
In favor of Google we must tell ourselves that the pixels in the camera of your new smartphone are quite large (1.55? M) that makes it possible to survive without optical stabilization in situations of good light. In low light situations, it is really missed, but it is also true that the number of photographs we take in these situations is much less.
Where did the stereo speakers get lost?
HTC is one of the best manufacturers in the mobile phone market and one of those that takes the most care of the sound of their terminals. However, and surprisingly, the new Google Pixel does not offer us stereo speakers, something difficult to understand for most users.
In the old Nexus, the 6 and the 6P if we found ourselves with stereo speakers, which have now disappeared without us being able to understand the reasons.
We wanted a Nexus, not an iPhone
Most manufacturers on the market design their devices by looking at the most successful terminals. On this occasion it seems clear that Google has been inspired by Apple's iPhone, although being Google you should have your own ideas and not look at anyone.
In addition, forgiving him for having noticed the iPhone, perhaps he could have improved some of the aspects of the Apple terminals such as the issue of the screen frames, which could be much thinner and thus offer us a much more design interesting.
Goodbye to interesting prices
Most of the Nexus that Google had launched on the market had more than interesting prices compared to some of the best mobile devices on the market, without also detracting from them in terms of features and specifications. The Google Pixel have destroyed that background and is that the cheapest version of the device will hit the market with a price of 759 euros.
The Google Pixel XL, also in its most basic version, is priced at 899 euros. If we compare them with the price of the Galaxy S7 edge for example something squeaks, and that is that the Samsung terminal has a price of 819 euros today.
Opinion freely
For a long time I have been a great defender of Google Nexus, I even had some for my personal use, but I think that this time the search giant has been wrong from beginning to end. The explanation is this article from beginning to end and is that Despite the fact that Google has managed to provide its Google Pixel with good features and specifications, it has lacked finishing with a series of things, which in some cases are basic to be able to say that they offer a so-called high-end smartphone.
Now we will see how the market welcomes the Google Pixel, despite all the things that we miss in them, and then we will be able to assess whether Google has succeeded or failed in its idea of entering the mobile telephony market boasting of that « made in Google ?.
