New Google Hardware!
Google Pixel Phone
Google has introduced their new phones. Usually branded as "Nexus", built by partnered hardware companies, Google decided to manufacture their own phones. The phone comes in two versions, Pixel which has a 5" screen and Pixel XL which has a 5.5" screen. Pixel and Pixel XL comes in three colors: Quite Black, Very Silver, and Really Blue. It has an aluminum unibody and a top of the line new Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB of RAM, a fingerprint sensor, and a 12-megapixel camera (said to be the best). This new phone will be mostly competing with other high end android phones like Samsung and also the iPhone 7. Pixel will cost $899 and Pixel Xl will cost $1,049 in Canada.
Google Daydream View
Google has also entered the virtual reality market with their new Daydream View headsets. Just like the Samsung Gear VR, the headset will work with Daydream compatible phones but comes at a cheaper price. The headset has a very comfortable cloth-like material and comes with a remote that can be used with the headset. Google wishes that everyone will experience a VR future and be available for everyone at a comfortable price. Daydream View will cost $79 in the US and will come to Canada at the end of the year.
Google Wi-Fi
Instead of acting like a single router, Google created "Wi-Fi" to act as a modular router that you can set up around your house to boost your wi-fi signal around the house. This is great for large houses that need a greater wi-fi range. One Wi-Fi costs $129 and a three-pack costs $299 (US). Google WI-Fi comes to Canada in 2017
Google Chromecast Ultra
Google has updated their old Chromecast to support 4k and HDR content. Chromecast Ultra will compete with other 4k and HDR streaming devices and will come at a higher price at $90 (US). Chromecast Ultra will be available around November.
Google Home
Last but not least Google has decided to compete with Amazon's Echo. Just like Apple's Siri, it is used much like Amazon's Echo for voice commands. You can ask it to play music, order things online, book an appointment and much more. Paired up with Google's largest search engine, Google Home will be a very competitive "smart" home assistant product. At $129 (US) it is cheaper than Amazon's Echo at $179. Google Home will be available in Canada in 2017.
Christmas!
If I were to choose one of the newest Google products for Christmas it would be Google Home. It is a convenient device to own, and you can ask it many questions and tasks. Out of all the newest products, owning a Google Home will be a new experience, and will definitely make my life a bit easier. But mostly because it's cool to talk to an A.I robot like in the movies.Friday, 30 September 2016
