Google Assistant as the main asset
The Google team has had a lot to do with the full integration of the Google Pixel with Google Assistant, although per hour they have not offered anything beyond what we could find with Siri, the virtual assistant of the competition. Although the truth is that the Google assistant moves with a much simpler and more natural language than Siri, on the other hand, the tests have been carried out in English, so in Spanish we could find more difficulties.
On the other hand, they have carried out several demonstrations, all focused on Google services, for example requesting a table through Google Maps,
The supposed best mobile camera ever made
Google pulls out its chest and shows a camera with a single sensor, but supposedly offering the best performance. Above all the competition, the famous DxOMark has offered him no less than 89 points. However, it has Smartburst, a very interesting burst mode, accompanied by HDR + technology, a long exposure for each moment that can be useful, whose function is to reduce noise and improve colors. Demonstration photos show great performance in low light or artificial light conditions.
They have also ensured that the Google Pixel camera is the fastest on the market, although perhaps the most interesting thing is the video stabilization, which promises very high quality videos regardless of the recording conditions. But they did not want to stay solely on the hardware, Google Pixel camera is fully integrated with Google PhotosIn this way, they will have unlimited storage for photos and videos in the original resolution, whatever the space, taking the opportunity to launch a touch of humor to the presentation, showing the notice of lack of space in iOS (Apple).
Fast charging, good autonomy and basic integrations
Both applications will come fully integrated with the system, Google has stressed that it is the most relevant unit between hardware and software in the history of Google, and it seems that it will be a reality. On the other hand, in terms of battery they have offered up 7 hours of autonomy with only 15min of chargePaired with fast charging, the battery is the first of the problems facing today's mobile devices.
From now on forget about updates, Google has included an automatic update system to improve Android Nougat security on Pixel devices. But not only that, they have added a 24/7 customer service system within the device, with several assistants in charge of helping you improve your experience with Google Pixel.
In this way, they also add a method of attracting iOS users, directly through the cable you can transfer a lot of information such as contacts, photos and even iMessages.
