GOOGLE PIXEL 2 AND PIXEL 2XL LAUNCHED
Google
Announces Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Along With A Refreshed Daydream View For
India
Google launched its
first Pixel phone last year. The brand started on this journey by asking “what
if Smartphones could get smarter and simpler?” The company set out to make the Smartphone
experience better and bring the best of Google to the most important device in
one’s life. With Pixel, Google created the world’s best Smartphone camera and
the first phone with the Google Assistant.
Now, along with a new
family of hardware, Google announces Pixel 2.
Pixel 2 is loaded with a
better camera that not only lets you take great pictures but helps you
understand the world around you; a battery that lasts all day; and an Assistant
that helps you get more done.

The Best
Smartphone Camera
Taking great photos and
videos is the thing you do most with your phone, so Google set out to make that
even better. With Pixel 2 you can take the best photos and videos. Independent
camera testers, DXO, has rated the Pixel 2 camera as the best camera of any
smartphone, with a record-breaking score of 98, far higher than the score of 89
for last year’s Pixel, which at the time was the highest score as well.
Take crisp, clear, and
detailed photos in any light, thanks to Google’s computational photography
capabilities. The combination of optical and electronic video stabilization
enables remarkably smooth video, even when you’re on the move.
Capture stunning
portrait shots with gorgeous background blurs, from both the front and the back
camera. And with all of those great photos, Google is once again providing free
unlimited storage for photos and videos taken on Pixel, in the highest
resolution.
Search What You
See
Back in May, the company
spoke for the first time about Google Lens—a new set of visual features that
help you learn more about the world around you and get things done. It builds
on Google’s advancements in computer vision and machine learning, combined with
Google knowledge graph which underpins Google Search. The company is bringing
an early preview of Google Lens to Pixel, so you can try it before anyone else.
At the start you’ll be
able to look up landmarks, books, music albums, movies, and artwork, right from
Google Photos on your Pixel. You can also take an action like asking Google Lens
to copy URLs and contact information from a picture of a poster or business
card. Over just the next few months, Google will add more capabilities, as well
as the ability to use it in the Google Assistant.

Your
Own Personal Google, Built In
The Google Assistant
makes many tasks—from sending a text or making a call, to finding an answer—faster,
easier and hands-free. With Pixel 2, it’s now even easier to access your Google
Assistant with a new feature called Active Edge. Just give the phone a quick
squeeze, and ask for what you need. This works even when your phone is in a
case.
In the coming weeks,
your Assistant on Pixel will also be able to help with your daily routines;
using simple phrases you could trigger actions during the morning, your
commute, when you get home, etc. So the Google Assistant on Pixel not only
understands you better but can also be more personal to you, helping you get
more done at any time.
Worry Less, Do
More
We’ve all been caught
with a dead phone battery so with Pixel 2 Google wanted to make a phone that
lasts all day. And if you ever need a quick boost, it can charge up to seven
hours in just 15 minutes. It’s also water- and dust- resistant to the IP67 standard
and comes with some of the most advanced security features baked in. With
monthly security updates direct from Google, your Pixel will always have the
most advanced security precautions built in—no more worrying about updating or
upgrading.
Google also wants to
make it as easy as possible to switch to Pixel. Most people will be able to
copy their contacts, apps, messages, photos and more from their old phone in 10
minutes or less. It’s fast and painless.
There's so much more to
Pixel 2—the more you learn, the more you're going to love it.
Pixel 2 comes in two
sizes, with the same great features in both. There’s the 5-inch Pixel 2 with a
crystal-clear cinematic OLED display, which comes in Just Black, Clearly White
and Kinda Blue. The 6-inch Pixel 2 XL has a razor-sharp pOLED display which
creates a full screen, immersive viewing experience, and comes in
Just Black and Black & White.
Alongside Pixel, Google
is launching new cases and accessories. That includes customizable Google Live
Cases, and a range of cases, cables, headphones and more from 25+ partners in “made
for Google” program. These "made for" products will feature a badge
on the packaging so you know they've been certified to meet Google's
compatibility standards.
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
will be available in the U.S. ,
U.K. , Canada , Germany ,
India and Australia
In India
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2XL
will be available online, exclusively on Flipkart.
Daydream View
Refreshed
We’re also announcing a
new Google Daydream View Headset, which you can pair with Pixel 2 or any Daydream-ready phone for
high-quality virtual reality. With this new headset, we kept the best parts of
the original—it is comfortable and easy to use—and made it even better. The new
Daydream View has high performance lenses, which result in better image clarity
and a wider field of view. It sports a premium fabric that makes the headset
soft and light, and will be available in Charcoal color.
There’s so much to experience
on Daydream. Last year, we launched with 25 apps and games. Daydream now has
more than 250 titles, so you’ll never run out of things to do. Over the last
year, we’ve also seen how much people love watching immersive VR video on apps
like YouTube VR. And no wonder: great VR video puts you in the center of the
action -- a wholly different experience from watching a conventional flatscreen display.
We’re bringing you more of these amazing, only-in-VR moments with a slate of new and exclusive premium content for Daydream. Get closer than front row seats with intimate performances from your favorite stars like Ed Sheeran in Austin City Limits Backstage. Hear personal confessions from huge comics like Trevor Noah in “The Confessional,” a YouTube VR original from Felix & Paul. Venture to all seven continents with Discovery’s TRVLR series, and blast off into space with IMAX in Google Play Movies.
Daydream View refreshed will be sold
exclusively on Flipkart starting 1 November 2017, and will be priced at Rs
7,999.
