Google held a press conference on October 4, Beijing time, and officially released a new generation of its own son Pixel. Nexus, who has accompanied us for many years, is about to become history. Pexel will inherit Nexus's mantle and assume the banner of Google's own son.
Pixel, a new generation of son in law, adopts the "super low frequency version" Snapdragon 821 processor, which is more low-frequency than Xiaomi 5s. It is a 2 × 2.15GHz+2 × 1.6GHz shrink version of Snapdragon 821, which is basically the same as the core frequency of the Snapdragon 820 processor, and is far different from the main frequency of the standard version of Snapdragon 821. You should know that the standard version of Snapdragon 821 is composed of 2 × 2.4GHz+2 × 2GHz high-frequency core. As Google's new son, Pixel will not only serve as a new generation of development machine, but also to some extent represent the hardware benchmark of this year's Android camp. Its use of the shrunken version of Snapdragon 821 is really surprising.
In addition to the processor, it uses 4GB LPDDR4 running memory, built-in 32GB/128GB internal storage, USB Type-C interface, AMOLED material screen, battery capacity of 2770mAh and 3450mAh respectively. Google also specially emphasized that it is equipped with 3.5mm headphone jack.
In addition to these conventional configurations, Google also specially emphasized the camera level of the machine at the press conference. The machine uses a 12.3MP rear camera, has a unit pixel size of 1.55 μ m, aperture f/2.0, and is likely to use Sony IMX378 sensor. Google claimed that the phone got a high score of 89 in the DXO rating, which also surpassed the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 to reach the top of the DXO ranking list, which also made everyone have very high expectations for Pixel's photos.
Pixel has launched three color schemes, Quite Black, Really Blue and Very Silver, which are completely consistent with the previous rumors. Google's naming rules this time are really confusing, and real blue and very silver finally achieved their wishes.
In addition, I don't know if you are familiar with it. Yes, it is similar to a Huawei Glory mobile phone in both appearance and color. It is worthy of being "real blue". The last is price. After the Nexus 5, Google was determined to let the pro son series get rid of the image of low-end mobile phones. Therefore, high cost performance is no longer a pro son label. This Pixel is no exception. Its 32GB version starts at $649.
In addition to the new mobile phones that have attracted much attention, Google also launched a new generation of VR glasses - Daystream View at this press conference, which adopts the body design of fabric, and can play VR video after placing the mobile phone in.
In this cooperation with HBO, Google can play all the VR resources of HBO online. In addition, Google Street View will also support Daystream View. The selling price is more conscientious, only $79.
In addition, the new generation of Google Smart Router, Google Wifi, as a new generation of Google Smart Router, has fewer functions than the previous generation. It is only used as the access center of Google Smart Devices, and the control center of Google Smart Home is transferred to Google Home, which will be released later. This cute looking router costs $129, and is also made for Tp link as the previous generation.
Google Home, which will be released later, has the same name. From Google's publicity, Google Home will become the control center of Google's smart home. Different from the scheme of the previous generation of Google Smart Home, the previous generation of Google Router shouldered the responsibility of router+control center. This time, Google further divided the functions, separating Google Wifi from Google Home. The former focuses on the connection of multiple devices, and the latter will become the brain of all Google smart homes. Although smart home is still in a state of thunder and rain after several years of prosperity, Google's active layout in this market is enough to see its ambition for the future smart home market.
