Google Pixel, Pixel XL to go on Sale in India From October 25
Google has confirmed in a tweet that Pixel and Pixel XL will start reaching Indian stores from October 25. The ‘Made by Google’ smartphones were unveiled October 4, and pre-orders opened on Flipkart on October 13. With Pixel, Pixel XL, Google is killing off the Nexus brand, and instead doing the hardware, software, marketing, after sales all on its own. In a tweet Google India wrote, “The future is exciting. And by future we mean 3 days from now. #Pixel will start reaching stores on 25th October #madebygoogle”.
In India, Google Pixel phones will be available on Reliance Digital, Croma, Bajaj Electronics, Vijay Sales, eZone, Sangeetha, Hotspot Mobiles, Poorvika Mobile World, and Flipkart.
The Pixel 32GB variant will cost you Rs. 57,000 while the Pixel XL 32GB will sell at Rs. 67,000. The 128GB variants are priced a bit higher at Rs. 66,000 for Pixel and Rs. 76,000 for Pixel XL.
Google Pixel, Pixel XL specifications:
The Google Pixel sports a 5-inch 1080p display, while the Google Pixel XL sports a 5.5-inch QHD display. Both AMOLED displays have a 2.5D curved glass on top, and are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Apart from size, the smartphones are differentiated on the basis of their battery — the Pixel sports a 2,770mAh battery, and the Pixel XL sports a 3,450mAh battery. The rest of the specifications and features remain the same.
Both smartphones are powered by a Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM. They are equipped with a 12.3-megapixel rear snapper with PDAF, laser auto-focus, and 4K video recording support. Up front, there is an 8-megapixel fixed-focus selfie camera. The smartphones also feature a fingerprint scanner placed at the back, and IP53 certification that makes them resistant to water and dust. Connectivity options include 4G LTE support, USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and NFC.
On the software front, both smartphones run on Android Nougat 7.1 out-of-the-box wrapped under the Pixel UI. Among the highlights is the built-in Google Assistant, which is not only more capable than Google Now, but also more contextually aware about what’s happening on your smartphone. One can simply converse with the AI and ask questions like weather, distance from one place to the other, or route from source to destination, and more.
Cheers!!!
