Google Pixel and Pixel XL launched, Here’s everything that you need to know

Google finally unveiled its much reported/leaked smartphone – the Google Pixel. Being one of the most ambitious projects by Google to make a debut in the field of smartphone manufacturing. We are calling it a debut because this is the first smartphone that has been entirely designed by Google with a little guidance from HTC. Pixel is the new Nexus by Google. The search engine giant has ended its Nexus lineup and will now be launching devices under “Pixel.” Let’s take a look at what Pixel smartphones are offering.

There are two Pixel phones – A 5-inch Pixel and 5.5-inch Pixel XL. Being the first “Made by Google” smartphones, they will enjoy the privilege of getting updates on priority, just like previous Nexus devices. For India, Google is going to launch these devices via Flipkart, Reliance Digital, and Croma, and other smaller retailers. Regarding pricing, the starting price of Google Pixel would be Rs. 57,000. The pre-ordering will start on October 13.

For the US, Google Pixel 32GB variant has been launched at $649 (approx. Rs. 43,000); 128GB variant at $749 (approx. Rs. 50,000) while the 32GB Pixel XL is priced at $769 (approx Rs. 51,000) and 128GB variant at $869 (approx. Rs. 58,000). Google has not yet revealed whether it will bring the 128GB variants of Pixel and Pixel XL to India.

The specifications of the Pixel smartphone had already been leaked by the US carriers, a few days ago. Sadly, Google failed to keep a secret or maybe it was a deliberate attempt for publicity (Sherlock wheel churning). Whatever may have been the case, we did know what was in store for us, before the official launch.
