Google Pixel and Pixel XL Review



So Google launched it's first ever own manufactured flagship Smartphone- Google Pixel and Pixel XL. Both the smartphones are powered by the latest Snapdragon 821 processor with 4 gigs of ram along side 32/128 gb of storage along with a 12 megapixel sensor on the back with an apperture of f2.0. The body of the phone is a fruitful combination of Alluminium and Glass which is really light weight in terms of weight of the phone,i.e, just 168g , just a little heavier than the 158 grams One Plus 3.
The battery is a whopping 3450 mah with the support of Quick charge which can charge up your phone really fast when you need that extra juice.
I got the chance to play with the camera of this wonderfully crafted phone. The rear 12mp shooter is a champ. It does what it has to. The image qualities were astonishing at first but then this phone proved to be equipped with one of the best camera in a smartphone out there. The Front Facing 8 MP camera is also not a joke. It clicks crisp images with the perfect amount of saturation required, not overblowing the picture.
The pixel smartphones are the first ones to be pre equipped with Android Nougat 7.0 out of the box.
It Has A dedicated 4 gb RAM and will be available in three very colourful variants - Quite Black, Very Silver and Yea , Really Blue.
This phone is priced around 57000 INR for the Regular Pixel Version and Approximately 67000 for the Bigger XL Varaiant.

R.I.P. NOTE 7



Sad news for Samsung users. The main flagship phone in it's Note Series, Note 7 has been discontinued permanently. Samsung has announced it's ending production of the Galaxy Note 7 around the world, pulling the plug on the phone after a months-long controversy over its defective, dangerous batteries.

After this, Samsung's chairman said, "WE'RE TAKING OUR CUSTOMER’S SAFETY AS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY".
Note 7 caused many problems like overheating and yea, "exploding". The phone was banned in many flights before it was finally discontinued by the company. There were many cases around the world of injuries and burns due to the bursting of phone while charging.

The Note 7 was originally released in August to highly positive reviews, but before the month was out, the first reports of the phone's battery catching fire began to emerge. Samsung issued a recall of the original device on September 2nd and that same month began shipping out replacement Note 7 to carriers. However, these too have proved to be a fire risk, leading to the company's expected , but still momentous -decision to cease production altogether.

The company's shares tumbled 8 percent at the time, its biggest one-day decline in nearly a decade, with analysts estimating the recall could end up costing as much as $17 billion.
