Google introduces Pixel smartphone based on Android 7.1 Nougat

Google has announced the launch of Pixel, the first-ever phone made by Google based on the newest Android operating system, Android 7.1 Nougat.

Google has used 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the front display and back glass to accent the aerospace grade aluminium body. The glass on the back features Pixel Imprint, the fingerprint sensor, which is placed on the back of the phone where your finger expects it.

The Pixel is powered by a battery that can charge up your phone for up to seven hours in just 15 minutes. Pixel smartphones will get software and security updates as soon as they’re available, directly from Google.

Pixel’s camera lets you take stunning photos in low light, bright light or any light. The Pixel also comes with Google Duo and Allo pre-installed so you can video call and text with all your friends, whether they’re on Android or iOS.

Starting at Rs 57,000, Pixel will be available for pre-order in India starting October 13 on www.flipkart.com and at over 1,000 plus organized and multi-brand retail stores with leading retail partners including Reliance Digital, Croma and Vijay sales among others.

Pixel will be available in India in two sizes - 5” or 5.5” and two colors - Quite Black and Very Silver with memory configurations of 32 GB and 128 GB sizes. Pixel users will have access to a toll free phone support number along with 54 walk in service centres across 30+ cities in India.
