Google bares 2-year support lifespan for Pixel and Pixel XL

“First and foremost, all operating system and security updates to the Pixel devices will happen in partnership with Google”, Verizon’s said.

Pixel will be following the same two-year plan that the Nexus phones had when it comes to updates.

The news of the minor update was first brought to light by Verizon after it announced on its website that the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will receive an update the moment users turn the power on.

What settings you should change on your Google Pixel. With the 32GB internal storage Pixel device, the screen size is 5.5-inches. But a new test reveals that there’s another key area where Google’s new Pixel XL is no match for Apple’s flagship phablet.

To access the app drawer on a Google Pixel, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Inside, they also find the HTC-made battery which is rated at 13.28Wh, which is slightly lower than the Galaxy S7 Edge’s and the Galaxy Note 7’s battery. It also offers installment option with $24.08 monthly payment for 24 months.

Why this matters: Some Nexus fans were bummed out by the Pixel, so perhaps this will give a little assurance that Google isn’t completely abandoning the existing hardware. In the carrier’s website, it says the shipping for the XL model has slipped back to November 18. The smartphones were unveiled on October 4 and are now up for pre-orders in India on Flipkart. Although the physical design of the both the Pixel and Pixel XL leave a bit to be desired, the real start of the show easily lies within their software features. The Verge says the phone’s camera is better still than the iPhone 7. For selfies and video calls, it houses an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It has state-of-the-art features like white balance control and exposure compensation.

Following the trend for better smartphone cameras, the Pixel packs an impressive 12.3-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front facing camera, making it ideal for a wide range of lighting environments. Let us know in the comments.
