While not directly considered as a substitute for 'Nexus', but the presence of smartphones is predicted super sophisticated so the first step Google to compete directly in the global handset market.
Pixel can be regarded as a smartphone 'made by Google' real. From design to development, Google itself is working on it. But for the manufacturing, Google entrust to a third party that is HTC.Then what Google kedigjayaan Pixel? Check out his review below.
Unique design
In plain, Google Pixel design does look a bit 'eccentric'. The rear side has two parts 'as if' separate, unlike most solid phone. Most of the top side coated glass material, and a place Bercokolnya Pixel Imprint (fingerprint sensor) and also cameras and their escorts (dual-LED flash, noise-canceling / video microphone, the camera's focus sensor). While others are made of aluminum metal also dominate the sides and in the framework.
If dikomparasi with a metal material in other phones, Google Pixel aluminum metal was highly qualified. In fact, the details look completely customized. However, the metal is prone to scratches sharp objects. Google mengguratkan rear logo 'G' as the identity of the phone.
At the front, Google Pixel coat scratch-resistant glass screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The concept is somewhat curved (curve), typical smatphone flagship present. Physical construction of these phones at a glance 'similar' Samsung Galaxy S7 with the character of the body which is closer HTC 10. Dimensions are slightly larger than the iPhone 6 / 6s / 7. Naturally, Google Pixel has a landscape display that is rather bongsor than the iPhone line.
For a character Asians, dimensions and design of Google's own Pixel most fitting and comfortable grip. Not too big and not to small. Cover material was not easy slippery.
Google seems to really want to make an exclusive Pixel like the iPhone. With the concept of unibodi, the phone is put down control panel on the side of the body. No audio port on the top, while the bottom of the port is USB Type-C and funnel loudspeaker. On the left side of the body there is a SIM card tray, with a single model without providing SIM and memory expansion slot. While on the right side there is the power button / lockscreen and below the volume buttons.
One thing is quite interesting, Google Pixel design was already pocketed IP53 certification. That is, this phone is safe from the 'spark' water and dust loh. But, if it is raining we recommend Google Pixel stored only and should not be used wet-basahan.
Affairs of the screen, Google Pixel count on the type of 5-inch AMOLED display with full HD resolution and 441ppi pixel density is reached. Solid and sharp enough to display images, with a radiant natural color. However, the character of a screen used this phone 'less' best if used directly in the sun. For low-light conditions, Google Pixel offers the option of setting screens for use at night (Night Light).
Suitable for reading messages or news online in low light conditions. Above the display, Pixel buried a variety of important sensor just below the earpiece. While the left corner there is a front camera. This phone does not include physical buttons, to access the shortcut menu and applications, presenting Pixel touch buttons that are attached to the main screen.
Throughout the testing, Pixel Imprint accelerates perfectly. Can detect fingerprints with good character and unlock lockscreen quickly. Even when the lockscreen off mode, you can directly open and step into the home very quickly. The fingerprint sensor can also be used to display a range of notifications, simply by sliding your finger from top to bottom sensors.
You can register 5 different fingerprints for the protection of specific applications, as well as the authorization of purchases on Google services. Something like the one with the fingerprint sensor on Samsung devices. For this setting, Pixel presents a simple option.
By default, Google Pixel only provides two display windows the homescreen and Google Now can be accessed by sliding the screen to the right. However, there is also an additional window to display the range of applications downloaded from the Play Store, adjusted for the application. To open it, you just wipe the screen to the left. On the homescreen there is no Google Search Bar, but you can bring it up by pressing the 'G' icon in the left corner.
For those who want to show all the applications and features available in Google Pixel, users can draw / shift the screen from below (arrow) upwards. Notifications bar remains as a regular Android phone. Interestingly, Google Pixel also bring innovations like 3D Touch on iPhone, by pressing the application icon such as 'messenger' or document, you can display a pop up with additional options.
Not only that, bergam settings are easily accessible, including related options gesture control and other sensors can be optimized to improve comfort and discover all the functions and features in Google Pixel.
As with Siri iPhone, Google Assistant will also answer all the questions. Interestingly, the conversation is done can take place in both directions. The advantages of this personal assistant is on its integration with the Google search engine.
The downside, you have to clearly say to ask. In addition, the detection of speech in the Indonesian language is still not perfect. Often, the results of which appear less appropriate answer to that question. However, for questions in English can be smoothly missed.
