During the first days after the announcement, which took place in mid-autumn 2016, Google’s brainchild earned the most flattering reviews regarding photo capabilities and high performance. But first things first.

Best camera

According to the authoritative resource DxOMark, the smartphone camera was named the best among mobile gadgets as of the second half of 2016. During testing, she earned a score of 89 points out of 100 possible, surpassing Samsung Galaxy S7 and immediately by 3 points Apple iPhone 7 Plus paired with the modular LG G5. Such outstanding performance was achieved even despite the absence of an optical image stabilization system in the design of the photomodule, which is intended to be replaced by a highly efficient digital stabilizer with software linked to the built-in gyroscope.

Large pixels

The main camera module does not protrude from the smartphone body at all. It is put into operation in a matter of seconds, which allows you not to lose sight of an important shot. In terms of the maximum aperture ratio (f/2.0), the camera matrix is ​​slightly behind its closest competitors in the class, but is ahead of them in terms of the size of an individual pixel (1.55 µm) - in low light conditions, each pixel absorbs a larger amount of light, resulting in a highly detailed image with less amount of noise. And expand dynamic range The HDR+ function will help you take pictures.

Rocket

The model has a top-end Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 821, working in conjunction with the Adreno 530 graphics accelerator and 4 GB of RAM. Control of such a powerful “filling” is given to the Android 7.0 operating system, distinctive feature which is the round shape of application icons. In heavy games (World of Tanks or GTA San Andreas) the frame rate rarely drops below 60fps. It’s just that under prolonged intense loads, the smartphone’s body may heat up slightly.

Care

Google generously provides all owners mobile phone Unlimited cloud space for storing photos and videos in original quality. And users practically won’t have to worry about a suddenly dead battery - technology support fast charging Quick Charge 3.0 allows you to partially replenish the energy reserve of a 2750 mAh battery in just 15 minutes, which is enough to ensure 7 hours of activity for the gadget.

Six hundred, *****, fifty ****** dollars! Did Good Corporation make an iPhone? It turns out yes. More precisely, with the help of new smartphones, Google plans to compete with Apple in the US and, possibly, European markets.

iPhone competitor?

What can Google Pixel compete with iPhone 7?

This piece of glass on the back panel, which is completely irrelevant here? Those huge frames and empty square centimeters above and below the screen, characteristic of smartphones from three years ago? Google Pixel is 2016's champion of unintelligible design.

Compete with Apple... Apple is an image cult, a sect, the legacy of the great Steve Jobs with an ideology, a closed ecosystem and an army of loyal fans who get what they expect at about the same price year after year. The most popular connector is being taken away from them, and they are setting new records for purchased iPhones. No one else can do this, least of all Google. Authority is incomparable.

Google smartphones no longer have uniqueness, no individuality. Now it's another Samsung, and even worse. Not only unreasonably expensive, but also faceless, unclearly targeted at whom, with ambitions that do not correspond to reality. “Pixels” will get lost among the same unnecessary overpriced flagships whose sales have failed.

I understand that even a corporation like Google cannot afford to endlessly churn out cool devices without regard for profit, but why be so radical? Yes, I live in a poor country, but, in addition to per capita income, there is also common sense, experience and heritage.

Guys, you can't throw away the philosophy you've been promoting for six years just by changing the name of the device. Yes, smartphones are now called Pixel, but in the minds of users it is still Nexus. Nobody cares what your marketers now position and call them, because it's still Nexus.

Remember what a real Nexus is? Nexus is a balanced smartphone at an affordable price with Google's reference Android and guaranteed to receive all the latest versions and updates of the operating system as soon as they are released. I'm not talking about last year's "half-nexuses" 5X and 6P, who were already showing symptoms of a fatal disease. No, I'm talking about Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 - best smartphones of its time. What's left of this?

New Android?

Okay, did you see latest version, which is called and goes under number seven? I use it on my Nexus 5X and haven't noticed much of a difference when switching over. How is it different from the sixth? There were really noticeable changes in “marshmallow”, and “nougat” sparkled with a two-window mode, which has already been implemented by some other manufacturers, and several minor improvements. All.

Android hasn't changed fundamentally for a long time. Cosmetics, minor fixes and improvements that are easy to live without. Each a new version less and less different from the previous one. Now you can comfortably sit on the “five”. And on the “six”. And on the “seven”. The average user will not notice the difference, especially under some kind of launcher.

Top-end hardware?

In 2016, this is not an argument, because the capabilities of hardware have long outstripped the needs of users, the system and applications. Of course, everything will fly on the Snapdragon 821, but everything will fly on the cheap Mediatek MT6750 too.

Qualcomm and company are churning out new chips because they have to sell. A whole generation of “enthusiasts” has already grown up, cringing at the numbers in the characteristics and synthetic tests. To be honest, I myself am one of those people, otherwise I would have already bought it for 7 thousand rubles or something similar and not written about this suffering, which will still be crap in the comments.

I understand that there is no logic in gigahertz, gigabytes and ppi, but I can’t help my nerdy nature. What difference does it make whether a smartphone scores 70 or 100 thousand points in AnTuTu? In both cases, the performance is excessive, but the battery somehow lasts a day.

And Google still hasn’t realized that a front-facing fingerprint sensor is more convenient. Apple understood right away. Meizu understood. Xiaomi has already shown a model with a front sensor. Everyone understood, but Google didn’t.

One of the best cameras according to DxOMark?

Have you heard anything about this before Google marketers started talking about it? Are you familiar with analysis methods? How applicable are they in real user scenarios? There was always only one test that was indicative: I took a photo, looked, and evaluated it. And guess what? All flagships now have excellent cameras. Absolutely everyone.

Who, besides aesthetic mobile photographers, cares about the small nuances of a particular photo sensor, if in the end the photo is mercilessly compressed and ends up on a social network or viewed from the screen of a smartphone, on which little can be seen at all?

High-quality optical stabilization, fast smart focus - these are really good things, and the status “ best camera according to someone out there,” like other marketing noodles, will never break through the barrier of sanity of a reasonable person.

Humor?

Oh, Google is such a jokester! We tried to play with the names of the colors. “Pretty black,” “very silver,” “really blue.”

They would have said: “We can’t do black, because metal sucks when anodized with this color. Silver was a great success, because aluminum itself gives a good metallic shine. Blue will be expectedly unclaimed, but it turned out to be a better color than black!”

Now I'll joke too. I had a dream. I ended up at the “Field of Miracles” game, ended up in the “prize” sector, and Yakubovich began to sell me a certain amount of money so that the contents of the black box would remain a secret. I go into complete refusal, the mustachioed man understands that there is no point in bargaining, he opens the box and takes out.

My next smartphone will really be from Chinese brand, and with high probability I'll stick with the Mi5s unless Meizu releases something even more attractive by the time it goes on sale.

Why Xiaomi Mi5s? Let's just compare it head-to-head with the Google Pixel in key parameters, and everything will become clear.

That is, instead of one Google Pixel, I will buy two Xiaomi Mi5s - one for myself, the other for my wife - and there will still be $49 left for external batteries or new headphones.

Not for Russia

While I was writing this text, information appeared in the news that Google smartphones Pixel will not be officially sold in Russia. Well, it didn’t hurt and I wanted it. Topic closed.

Not for Russia

While I was writing this text, information appeared in the news that Google Pixel smartphones would not be officially sold in Russia. Well, it didn’t hurt and I wanted it. Topic closed.

The era of Nexus devices has come to an end. No matter how much geeks loved these phones, they sold poorly, to put it mildly. This year has been a significant one for Google. Development strategy mobile business has changed as dramatically as the name of the products being manufactured. Now they offer the user a choice of Pixel and Pixel XL, asking a lot of money for them.

Appearance

This is probably the most weak side phone. It turned out to be moderately interesting, but a little faceless. Holding the Pixel in my hands, I more than once caught myself thinking that it was very similar to the iPhone. Especially back panel, if you cover the glass part.

Speaking of glass. This insert is a development of the idea of ​​​​combining two materials, which we saw in last year's flagship Nexus 6P. It has increased significantly in size, but the insert does not carry any meaning. Just a design element. Unusual and not for everyone.

It houses a fingerprint scanner, which is slightly larger than on other phones. The finger fits comfortably on it, and unlocking almost always occurs without errors. True, you have to keep your finger on the scanner a little longer due to protection against false clicks. So the speed of this process is inferior to the iPhone.

But the scanner has one useful feature that we have previously seen in Huawei phones. By swiping across its surface, you can lower (or raise) the notification shade. This will be convenient for people with small hands.

But rearranging the flash and camera frankly hurts the eye. Perhaps the company decided to stand out in this way, but it is very difficult to get used to such a sequence. You look and think that literally at the last minute they shoved a flash in instead of the second camera module.

The plastic antenna separators are made in the color of the body, which is nice. There's just one little thing - they protrude a lot, which creates discomfort. It's strange to see such flaws in a flagship and expensive phone.

The remaining elements of the device are very similar to those used in HTC phones. In my opinion, this company still took part in the development of the appearance of the phone.

The power and volume keys are also not like everyone else's. They are swapped and during use, instead of turning on the phone, I constantly increased the volume. It is very difficult to get used to such changes.

Unlike some competitors, the Pixel hasn't lost the "legacy" 3.5mm jack. So you can rest assured that you can use your favorite headphones with this phone. But the connector itself is placed on the top end, which is not entirely convenient.

But the developers made sure that you don’t scratch the phone’s body with your headphones by equipping the input with a plastic edge.

The same bezel can be found around the USB-Type C. This attention to detail is commendable.

The front side evokes the same conflicting feelings as the back panel. At first glance, everything is there: 2.5D glass, a camera, and a neat slot for the speaker. But it’s all just faceless. Put several flagships from other companies next to each other and Pixel will easily get lost among them.

And it's a shame that Google company I didn’t equip my phones with moisture protection. The main competitors can easily withstand short-term immersion in liquid, which cannot be said about the Pixel.

Screen

The phone is available in two versions. The older Pixel XL model is equipped with a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED matrix. This combination of diagonal and resolution is perfect for use with the company’s VR helmet and the Daydream application. I'm on personal experience I was convinced that Full HD is still not enough for virtual reality. So for VR the XL model will be preferable.

But if you are not keen on VR technologies, then you will definitely like the 5-inch screen of the younger Pixel. Yes, it doesn’t use the latest AMOLED matrix, which sometimes gives off green when tilted, but otherwise it’s an excellent panel.

Color reproduction is traditional for this type of matrix, so if you want calmer colors, you can activate the sRGB mode in the settings. It will make the picture as close as possible to the one we see on IPS screens.

Plus, the phone has an always-on display technology, which is similar to that used in the Moto Z, a review of which is on our website. Just by picking up the phone, the screen will turn on in monochrome mode and display the current time, practically without consuming battery power. This is a very convenient feature that I really miss on my personal phone.

Characteristics and usage experience

There’s not much to talk about here, because the phone has a top-end Snapdragon 821, Adreno 530 graphics core, 4 GB random access memory and 32 GB built-in. This set of characteristics allows Pixel to be one of the most fast phones on Android based, demonstrating high performance in synthetic tests.

It is clear that Google has done a tremendous job of optimizing the firmware for specific hardware, this allowed them to achieve incredible smoothness of the system. I’ve already used very fast phones before, like the Moto Z, but here the speed of response to user actions seems more correct, or something. The smoothness of operation and drawing is simply amazing. The user experience is similar to the first time you picked up the latest iPhone.

In games, of course, there are no problems either. They all start with maximum settings The graphics don't slow down at all. And those projects in which FPS drops are simply unoptimized or “crookedly” written.

Software, as befits the heir to the Nexus line, it was as fresh and as pure as possible. No additional services or programs. Android here is how Google sees it. A stock system that will allow you to experience the simplicity and consistency of interaction with your phone. It has changed a little in appearance, for example, by losing the “menu” button and changing icons that are completely different in style, for which the company has been criticized more than once. They are now round and standardized. But also about branded chips haven't forgotten.

At the presentation of the phone we were promised a revolutionary voice assistant, who can carry on the conversation and provide more appropriate responses to queries. Indeed, asking a couple of popular questions (for example, “What do you think about the iPhone?”) can get funny answers.

But as soon as I asked him something less relevant, he simply answered “I don’t know.” Today Goolge Assistant is just a slightly improved Google Now, nothing revolutionary.

In addition to the voice assistant, the phone now has an analogue of 3D Touch. Instead of developing a special touch layer that determines the force of pressing, Google decided to make do with a software implementation. To my surprise, activation context menu It almost always worked as it should. Only a couple of times, when I held it for a long time, I moved the icon instead of opening the menu.

There are practically no supported applications now, except for standard ones. Of the third-party ones, long press only worked with Twitter. But this is a Google phone, so support will soon appear in a large number of utilities.

Some were upset by the lack of support for microSD memory cards, but the company found a solution for this too. When you buy a phone, Google gives you unlimited storage for photos and videos you take on your Pixel. Besides, backup copy all your device data is automatically created on Google Drive. After which the phone will offer to free up space on the internal storage by deleting already copied files. This is really cool.

Now, no matter what happens to your phone, its backup copy is safe cloud storage and it is unlikely to be damaged, unlike the local version.

Battery life and sound quality

The battery life of the phone surprised me personally. A small battery with a capacity of only 2770 mAh allows you to fully use the phone all day long without fear of being left without a means of communication. On the second day, however, it won’t be enough. How the developers managed to reduce the appetite of the Snapdragon 821 is unclear, but they did a solid job on optimization. True, before battery life iPhone smartphone falls short a little. But there is support for fast charging, which will fully charge the phone in an hour and a half.

The following situation developed with sound. With headphones, this is one of the loudest and best-sounding phones. All frequency range on the spot. I liked it very much.

But with the external speaker the situation is strange. We're used to seeing great stereo speakers in HTC phones, but here he is only one. Its quality is ordinary, nothing to say. A simple speaker that you may encounter, for example, in Meizu M3S.

In addition, it is very easy to cover it with your hand, causing it to lose almost all of its volume. So in this indicator it is significantly inferior to its competitors. It is quite possible to miss a call. By the way, the vibration motor is perceived strangely. It rattles a little inside the case, which after the Taptic Engine feels very cheap.

Google's new Pixel

Google Pixel comes with an aluminum and glass body, has rounded edges and typical Apple products antenna strips on the rear panel. You can order the device in two colors: silver or anthracite. Moreover, both models can be equipped with 32 GB or 128 GB of internal memory.

The small version costs as much as 759 euros (51,300 rubles), for the large version you will have to pay 869 euros (58,700 rubles). Card slots MicroSD memory there is no one on board the new Pixel. Google wants to solve the problem of lack of memory in a different way and offers all buyers of its new smartphones (including) the possibility of unlimited use cloud service for storing photos and videos. Of course, this can be called a way out, but in essence I suggest that users hand over their data to Google.

Battle of the Giants: s new Pixel Google goes on the attack

Inside the Pixel is the Snapdragon 821, the current quad-core processor from Qualcomm. It has a clock speed of 2.15 GHz and looks very convincing in practice: applications open extremely quickly and the system runs very smoothly.

In terms of communication standards, Google is raising the bar for top-end smartphones by new level, offering LTE Cat.11 with download speeds of up to 600 Mbps - at least theoretically possible. In Russia, for example, on this moment you can use the capabilities of a maximum of LTE Cat.6 (Megafon, and Beeline and MTS - LTE Cat.4).

The list of equipment also includes Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC. Unlike Apple, Google continues to use the classic audio jack, but you won't find corresponding headphones in the box.

Solid mid-level device

A 32 GB silver copy visited our test laboratory. The 5-inch display has Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels). The Pixel's brightness is impressive: the OLED screen reaches approximately 473 cd/m2. The black point glows with an intensity of 3.6 cd/m2. Thus, the contrast is almost 132:1. In a bright room the results are worse. Here the black color has a brightness of 19.6 cd/m2. We expected much more from the OLED display.

Compared to the Google Pixel XL, the regular Pixel comes with a slightly smaller battery: its capacity is 2770 mAh. Although the battery life (7 hours 21 minutes) is decent, Google's smartphone does not achieve the best value in the corresponding test category. At the same time, the duration of the charging process is surprising. Only after 2 hours and 14 minutes spent at a power outlet will the Pixel battery be fully charged.

Google Pixel already comes with Android Nougat

Camera

On the back Google panels Pixel houses a 12-megapixel camera. In daylight this smartphone takes great photos. Colors are natural, images are detailed and clear. Problems begin in poor lighting.

The pictures look a little pale, although a high level of clarity is maintained. Google Pixel records video in a maximum resolution of 4K. Front-camera content with the capabilities of 8 megapixels. Among the shortcomings: none of the cameras are equipped with optical image stabilization.


More features, more data

Perhaps the Pixel's biggest strength is its software. In particular, this smartphone comes with an operating system Android system 7.1. In addition, the Pixel family will be provided with all the latest updates required.

Like the iPhone, the Pixel can offer smart voice assistant services: using the phrase “Hey Google!” you can for example open the right application. Google Assistant is practically version 2.0 Google systems Now - and so far it is only available exclusively for Pixel smartphones.

Alternative options

Samsung Galaxy S7

Anyone looking for a convenient, but at the same time high-performance smartphone should definitely pay attention to. This 5.1-inch phone boasts the highest level and a fast processor. In addition, it has a microSD card slot and IP certification.

Add to this the currently attractive price: very good smartphone produced by Samsung can be obtained by paying approximately 33,000 rubles. There is also a small drawback: Android updates Owners of this device will have to wait a little until version 7.1.

Honor 8

An even more affordable alternative is this. On your flagship Chinese manufacturer I didn’t skimp either in terms of equipment or in terms of workmanship. Thus, the 5.2-inch smartphone comes with a fast eight-core processor, sufficient memory, Dual-SIM function, and a solid battery.

When choosing this alternative option you need to be prepared to encounter some camera shortcomings. But the price is very convincing: this fast smartphone currently costs only 25,000 rubles.
