Google has announced its new Pixel smartphone, one of the most prominent and highly anticipated devices of the year, especially in the high-end phone market. The new version focuses on significant improvements in performance and the use of artificial intelligence, with significant advancements in camera capabilities and the operating system experience.
Stylish Design with High Durability
The phone features a design that combines "elegance and simplicity," with a body made of recycled aluminum and a matte back glass that reduces fingerprints. The phone also supports water and dust resistance with an IP68 rating, making it practical for everyday use.
The front panel includes a near-full screen with extremely thin bezels, while the Pixel series identity continues through the rear camera bar, but this time it is more integrated into the design, giving it a modern and sophisticated look.
Advanced Screen with Professional Display Technologies
The phone features a 6.7-inch OLED screen with QHD+ resolution and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. These specifications make for a smoother experience, whether browsing apps or playing games.
The phone also supports HDR10+ technology and has a brightness exceeding 1,800 nits, meaning content will remain clear even in direct outdoor light. Add to this the in-display fingerprint sensor, which is faster and more accurate than previous versions.
Performance based on Google Tensor G4
The most notable innovation in the new phone is the Google Tensor G4 processor, the fourth generation of chips developed internally by Google. This processor is specifically designed to enhance artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, which is reflected in various aspects of the phone, from speed to an improved camera experience.
The phone comes with up to 16GB of RAM, with storage ranging from 128GB to 1TB, giving users greater ease in handling large files and multiple daily applications.
Pixel Camera: Significant Improvements in Photography
As we've come to expect from Google, the camera remains the hallmark of its phones. The new version features three lenses:
- A 50MP main lens for capturing detailed photos.
- A 48MP optical zoom lens provides up to 5x zoom without losing quality.
- A 12MP wide-angle lens for group and landscape photography.
Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in the photography experience, with features such as:
- "Night Sight" for extremely high-quality night photography.
- "Real Tone" for more realistic and fair skin tones.
- A new feature called "Video Boost" improves the quality of videos directly during shooting, even in low light.
The 12MP front camera comes with face tracking features for video calls, for a more interactive experience.
Improved Battery and Fast Charging
The phone is equipped with a battery capacity ranging from 4,800 to 5,000 mAh, enough to power the phone for a full day of heavy use. It supports 45W fast wired charging, in addition to fast wireless charging and reverse charging for charging earphones or other phones.
AI has also become an integral part of power management, as the phone can recognize user habits and adjust performance to extend battery life.
Android 15 and Long-Term Support
The phone runs Android 15, with a near-stock interface, providing a smooth and clutter-free experience.
Google also announced a long-term support plan that includes seven years of security and software updates, an important step that enhances the device's value and makes it a worthwhile investment in the long run.
The phone includes exclusive features such as:
- Instant conversation translation via Live Translate.
- Magic Editor for easy image editing using artificial intelligence.
- Call Screening for filtering out unwanted calls.
- Recorder, an app capable of transcribing audio to text with high accuracy.
Advanced Connectivity Technologies
The device supports the latest connectivity standards, such as:
- Ultra-fast 5G networks.
- Wi-Fi 7 for faster and more stable connectivity.
- Bluetooth 5.4 for improved power consumption.
- Support for UWB technology, which is used for tracking devices and unlocking smart cars.
Price and Availability
The device is expected to start at $899. The base model costs $1,099, with higher-capacity versions going up to more than $1,099. The phone will initially be available in the United States and Europe, with plans to expand to global markets, including the Middle East.
Google's new phone combines a sleek design, an advanced display, powerful AI-powered processing, and an advanced camera system that's considered one of the best on the market. With the addition of long-term support and a relatively competitive price, Google is positioning itself to take on Apple and Samsung this year.
