Pixel’s Key Highlights

  • Designed by Google
    Its curved edges make it easy to hold and smooth to touch. With a seamless glass-aluminum body and smooth surfaces, the phone was made to look and feel good in your hands. The 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 is used on the front display and back glass. The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint – the fingerprint sensor that uses your unique fingerprint to unlock the phone fast – for quick access to all your apps, texts and emails. Pixel comes in two sizes, 5” or 5.5”, and three colors: Very Silver, Quite Black and the limited edition for the U.S. only, Really Blue. In addition to customizing Live Cases with your favorite photos and places, there is  a new Artworks collection that features exclusive designs from artists like Justin Maller, and photographers like Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. Google also offers a new collection of silicone and clear cases.

  • One-tap video calling with Google Duo
    The new, simple video calling app that brings you face-to-face with the people who matter most.

    • Tap to start a call.
    • Select a contact who’s using Duo (or invite someone to use it)
  • A battery that lasts all day, and charges fast3
    A combination of hardware and software keeps your Pixel going all day long. When you need a quick charge, you can get up to 7 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes. So you can always move at your speed.
  • Dress your phone up in style
    Personalize your Pixel with a case that’s right for you. Choose from a customized Live Case with a matching live wallpaper or Live Case designed with Google Earth and Google Trends. Or grab the Pixel Case by Google, built for protection and featuring a range of bright and bold colors.
  • Expert care from Google, no appointment needed
    With your Pixel, you can get support whenever you need it. No matter where you are, a Google expert is just a tap away, day or night. Need help? Just open the Settings app on your device and tap the Support tab. You can even share your screen with an expert who will walk you step-by-step to a solution.
  • Switching to your new Pixel is easier than ever
    Transfer your contacts, photos, videos, music, iMessages®4, SMS messages and more. Just connect your current phone to your new Pixel with the Quick Switch Adapter to transfer your content. Sign-in and select what you want to move over.
  • Smartphone camera
    Pixel’s camera lets you take photos in low light, bright light or any light. #Nofilter needed. Catch action shots as they happen with Smartburst, which takes a rapid-fire sequence of shots. Use Lens Blur to achieve shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, making your subject pop. And capture dramatic landscapes or make faces glow with new exposure controls.
