5 Google Pixel drawback that need to improve

Even though Google Pixel is one of the biggest flagship available in the market, there are some features disappointing users. Let’s have a look at these Google Pixel drawback!

Google Pixel drawback

1. High cost

Google has stated that Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will be tough rival to iPhone 7 and 7 Plus of Apple. As we already known that Google Pixel are high-end phones available in the market. As a result, price tag of the smartphone is not affordable for many customers. And this is the biggest Google Pixel drawback in comparison to other phones

Its base price is $650 for 32GB version and $749 for the 128GB model. In fact, each model of Google Pixel has the price that is match to the corresponding version of iPhone 7.

Google Pixel drawback

2. Almost no water resistance

As we have mentioned in earlier post, the IP rating of Google Pixel is IP-53. Especially, the water resistant capability of Google Pixel is only 3 in the scale of 0-8. This means Google Pixel is only protected against direct spray of water up to 60 degree from the vertical which is low comparing to other Pixel’s rivals. For example, the IP rating of iPhone 7 is IP-67.

Google Pixel drawback

3. Inappropriate location of speaker

Have you noticed that we usually put our on the speaker when we set the phone in landscape position? Therefore, the sound quality will be affected. As a result, you need find a way to hold your phone at a different position when using the phone in landscape. In fact, you will meet this irritating Google Pixel drawback again when using the handset. Of course, no one want to hold their phone.

Google Pixel drawback

4. No optical image stabilization (IOS)

Optical image stabilization is an amazing feature of Google’s smartphones. It helps the videos stabilize. However, this feature comes with a con. The feature makes videos look a little blurry. We hope that Google will improve it on the next smartphone.

Google Pixel drawback

5. More glass, more fragile and scratch

It is true that smartphones coming with glass on the back is easily get scratch and even can be broken. And of course, no one want their phone get fixed just after one fall.

Google Pixel drawback Five Google drawback above is a pity for such an high-end smartphone. We hope that Google will enhance them in the next smartphones.

Android Nougat – iOS 10 – Windows 10 Mobile: fierce OS battle

Android Nougat, iOS 10 and Windows 10 are the latest operating system (OS) versions of smartphones. If you are considering towards which one to choose, we would like to compare some categories of the three types for your reference.

OS

Price and variety: the winner is Android

It is obvious that Apple do not manufacture budget devices. The latest product iPhone 7 Plus starts at 770$, which is quite exorbitant for many people. Speaking of Windows Mobile, they do have various prices, however, their specs can’t be compared with those of an iPhone or an Android phone.

With Android devices, you will be offered a lot of choices. From pricey devices namely Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S to low cost devices with decent specs. There are many famous and prestigious brands in the market including: HTC, ZTE, Sony, Huawei and LG. That’s the reason why Android is the winner in this category.

OS

Apps: the winner is iOS

According to recent statistics, there are 2.2 million apps on Android, 2 million on iOS, but a modest number of 600,000 on Windows Mobile. While Android has more apps than iOS, iOS offers a convenient platform for app developers. That’s the reason why newer and helpful apps appear on iOS. Besides, the design of iOS apps is also more uniform and stylish.

OS

OS updates: the winner is iOS

All three systems are updated regularly, but not every OS is updated in a timely fashion. In three types, Apple keep a greater control over the software, and all compatible devices tend to upgrade to the latest version. For instance, iOS 10 is available from iPhone 5 to later generations. Apple’s iOS is the only mobile OS that offers consistent and timely software updates and security. Other OS, it is not all devices are updated to Android Nougat and Windows Phone.

OS

Photo backup: the winner is Android

With Android, you can automatically backup all of your photos and videos. Furthermore, iCloud on iOS offers less free space at 5GB, while Google Drive offers 15GB for storage. Google’s Photos app even lets you backup an unlimited number of photos or videos at standard size for free. If you own a Google Pixel phone, then you will get free and unlimited photo and video storage at full resolution.

OS

Voice assistants: the winner is Windows Mobile

Cortana, Siri and Google Now are the voice assistants of Windows Phone, iOS and Android respectively. Cortana falls somewhere in between Siri and Google Now. There’s an attempt to push things further by offering access to functions within apps and reminder prompts linked to specific people in your contacts. Cortana can also work contextually within apps, and seems to handle voice recognition well. Microsoft has really taken its time getting Cortana right and you can even now download Cortana on iOS and Android.

OS

Fierce battle between three OS

Among three kinds of OS, Android Nougat and iOS 10 seem to be winners. You are offered a lot of choices in terms of price, brands and apps. We hope that you would find a suitable smartphone.

It’s true that when deciding to buy a new smartphone, along with specs, smartphone design is also a vital aspect. So, we’d like to tell you about 3 materials commonly used as a phone’s body.

Oppo-R9S-5

Smartphone design: pros and con of each metal

Metal is used widely by many reputed brands to create the body of smartphones. Among many metallic elements, Aluminum is the most common one. Of course, there are some reasons why metal is used. It is true that smartphones with metallic body create a very solid and premium feeling. In addition, metal is good at conducting heat. Therefore, heat created by the processor will be emitted quickly. However, this characteristic of metal is also a drawback. Explaining this, the phone might be hot for users to hold after a long time of using.

Besides metal, recently, some smartphones manufacturers have equipped their products with Corning Gorilla Glass. Glass comes with premium feeling. And it is quite easy to clean. Corning’s Gorilla Glass is used to protect the display from scratch and endure the mechanical shake. However, glass is fragile. Not only that, the display will be blurred by fingerprint or sweat. And glass is not as malleable as metal.

Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1

Plastic is the first material used in smartphone design. One big advantage of plastic is the quite low cost. However, there are still some cons of plastic smartphone design. In contrast to metal, plastic is not good at conducting heat. Therefore, it holds the heat inside which made the processor and other features easily broken. In addition, a smartphone with plastic body somehow renders a non-premium feeling. That’s why there are many smartphone companies has shifted from plastic to glass and metal. However, there are still some smartphones comes in plastic design. For example LG G4 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Smartphone design: a combination of many aspects

With three most common materials, which are metal, glass or plastic, smartphone makers can solely use one kind of material or combine them. So, each company would come with specific strategy based on their design and aiming customers.

Sony probably will not announced any new contents for the console which has lasted more than 10 years in the market. Another era is coming to an end soon!

Yes, there have been no confirmation that Sony will stop giving out free old games to PS3 owners via the PS Plus so far. However, with companies focusing on the more potential PS4 and the coming PS4 Pro, the old console does not have much to look forward to. The last big developer, Bungie, has quietly stopped making new contents for the game Destiny since last year, splitting progress on PS3 and PS4 separately. It is still impressive though, that the PS3 has been around for as long as it did.

PS3 era

This has been foretold since last year, when Activision announced the exclusion of PS3 for the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Xbox 360 also shared the same fate). The game that serves as the nail on the coffin for PS3, supposedly, MLB The Show 17, will be released on March 28th, 2017. PS3 owners will not be able to enjoy new digital baseball experience.

PS3 era: Much to remember

So, another era has passed for a generation of Sony’s console. Following the massive success of PS2, which had some memorable games, PS3 had also offered players some of the greatest games as well. Now, it will all be a memory. Let’s look forward to the new age, with PS4 and PS4 Pro!
