Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by Nobody: 11:55pm On Dec 25, 2018 |
Google pixel smartphone is the first phone designed and maintained by Google in 2016 with a snapdragon 821 chipset. Later it was succeded by the pixel 2 and 3 respectively. The Google pixel smartphone has the best camera in the world right now..with the launch of the pixel 3,which brought the use of night sight. Also the pixel devises are only the rival to Apple smartphones. Not being byass, even though there are other smartphone company's, samsung,huawai,HTC, LG etc.but they are not the future. Not only is the camera good,but the phone it self doesn't lag. Along the line since it doesn't include unwanted programs, it's the fastest software among all other Android's phone manufacturers The Pixel is the only Android phone that can rival the iPhone Other than Apple, Google is the only company that controls the design of both the hardware and operating system of its smartphone. The tight integration between hardware and software has always been an instrumental advantage for Apple’s devices, and it’s only going to grow in importance. Apple’s custom-designed A12 Bionic processor in the iPhone XS has a dedicated section for accelerating AI tasks, while Google has come up with its own custom Pixel Visual Core chip for making photography tasks faster and more efficient. The future of smartphones is bespoke hardware of this kind, designed from the ground up to make new software features possible. I don’t want to inflame users of Samsung, Huawei, LG, or HTC phones who believe their device is no less worthy or desirable than an iPhone. As of today, it’s still possible to build a pretty amazing chunk of glass-covered hardware, ship it with Google’s OS on board, and indeed compete with the iPhone. But that’s not the future. The differentiating factors of our AI-powered future will be custom, proprietary software such as Google’s HDR+ camera system and intelligent call screening in the Pixel, powered by custom silicon. In that battle, Apple’s prodigious chip design team enjoys a significant lead in hardware, Google is the most advanced in its applications of AI, and everyone else is somewhere in between. You don’t have to like the Pixel to recognize its importance. Without Google going to the trouble of making its own phones — and evolving them successfully with each passing generation — we’d be facing the very real threat of Apple standing alone with its unmatched ability to control and steer the design of every aspect of its phone. The Pixel sets the Android standard Like the Nexus line before it, Google’s Pixel represents the company’s vision for the optimal Android user experience. Which is to say, the Pixel is built to advertise Android at its best and, increasingly, Android is designed to create the best possible Pixel. When Google decided to break from the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio with the Pixel 2 XL last year, it issued design guidelines to that effect six months in advance. When the company opted for a notch with the Pixel 3 XL, it again released advice for app developers that urged the respect of “display cutouts.” You could validly argue that Google was embracing trends already started by Samsung, with elongated screens, and Essential and others, with notches. But it’s still notable that any time Google decides to accommodate a new hardware feature, it’s one that you’ll find on the latest (or upcoming) Pixel. For any Android device maker, the cost of tailoring the operating system to any particular hardware configuration drops dramatically if that setup matches Google’s choices with the Pixel. OnePlus, for example, had to test the top 1,000 most popular apps on the Play Store to make sure they worked with the notch on its OnePlus 6. Now that every app designer has Google’s guidelines and the Pixel 3 XL’s jumbo notch to test with, that effort can be saved.There’s a lot to be said for the Pixel’s existence as just an idealized Android experience. Not only does it let Android app developers design for a fixed thing in a market of very diverse things, it also lets buyers and fans articulate their dissatisfaction with other Android phones more directly. Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and their ilk can be held to a higher standard if Google is able to give that standard a physical embodiment, and that’s what the Pixel line represents. Yes, it’s all very meta and somewhat unambitious on Google’s part, but it makes sense: the Pixel is an expression of Google’s philosophy for how to best use Android, and its quality makes it relevant to the entire market. This thread is specifically meant for Google pixel problems .either camera , updates , recommendatios based on their repair center etc.Who knows you may be able to help someone in need out ..make sure you contribute. Why don't you tell us which do you own? Which phone have you compared? Well I have the original pixel and I was able to compare with the iPhone 8 plus and the og pixel beats the hell out of that phone even though it old.the camera quality no chance. At night the iPhone 8 plus dies,it can't compete with the pixel. Also with the new update I now have hdr+ enhanced mode. With night sight..what's yours?

next pix is my camera interface.if you noticed I got pixel portrait mode on the first pixel which had lens blur and I can vouch it is the best..all you need is to uninstall the previous camera and install this.the protrai mode is so good you can even adjust the amount of blur

Overlord999:that's the essence of this thread.you read online? What about peopñe in your country who are actualñy using it? When issues like this come up then you need peopñe in your country to ask and not going to Google to search ..if I may ask which issues are you talking about?.and a pixeñ is the best Android you can get for yourself |

i once created a thread about how good pixel camera's are https://www.nairaland.com/4923968/how-good-camera-google-pixel but go little replies so i assumed a lot of people dont use pixel phones, only to see this thread, pls op post more pictures!! |
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by Nobody: 10:34am On Dec 31, 2018 |
bobo65:there was one time I told some1 about stock Android,and the person was comparing Samsung S7 to my phone.come on we know the phone has lots of sensors ,Iris scanner, blah blah blah. But do we really need it? All these sensors make Samsung phones slow..that's why lots of people keep saying Samsung is low then Android is slow. Have you tried Google pixel ? I normally ask them. You can't compete with iOS with custom Android ROM oga. iOS doesn't have all these sensors and that's why it's fast..now pixel is the fastest Android there no matter what anybody thinks. They are still at 4gb ram because they know there stock Android is very fast at 4gb. While others are going 6gb lol..besides the bad ass camera on my phone the phone is unique..I recently when out with my friend who has the old iPhone x. It was at night and we took some pictures. And my phone was the brightest and the sharpest with night sight camera ..it made the guy to start asking me the name of my phone which I even refused saying. He even took portrait pictures with my single camera and almost ran mad..he was dumbfounded. He asked me to switch with his iPhone I swear... Do you have portrait mode and night sight? That was the portrait mode. The pix was 12mp size I had to screshot it and then edit it to 2.7mp so it lost so many details.. 4 Likes |

PhenomenalMorgan:alright.ill go meet up with my friend who has an s8 plus then I merge and post here Check up I recently posted a pic of portrait mode. |
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by bobo65(m): 10:36am On Dec 31, 2018 |
CHESTER48: Lol Since I started using pixels I don't feel comfy using any other phone |
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by PhenomenalMorgan(m): 10:46am On Dec 31, 2018 |
CHESTER48:Nice photo, what pixel phone is that, pixel3 |
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by Nobody: 10:46am On Dec 31, 2018 |
bobo65:do you have the latest portrait mode with night sight? The new portrait mode allows you to change the amount of blur you add in portrait..when you're editing that why the first pix is completely blurred and the other half blurred |
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread Anyone? by Nobody: 10:54am On Dec 31, 2018 |
