In details, Google Pixel specs sport a 5.0-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. Furthermore, the handset screen also has the resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Under the hood, this Google smartphone runs on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/products\/snapdragon\/processors\/821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 chipset<\/a> and Quad-core (2&#215;2.15 GHz Kryo &amp; 2&#215;1.6 GHz Kryo) CPU.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the storage, Google Pixel takes power from 4GB RAM and two ROM variants: 32GB and 128GB (no card slot). For the operating system, this Google phone runs on Android 7.1 (Nougat), which is upgradable to Android 8.0 (Oreo). Additionally, Google Pixel comes with a non-removable Li-Ion 2770mAh battery. How about the photography? The Google Pixel camera setup includes a 12.3 MP (f\/2.0, 1\/2.3&#8243;, 1.55 \u00b5m) rear snapper. There is also an 8 MP (f\/2.4, 1\/3.2&#8243;, 1.4 \u00b5m) selfie shooter.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Google-Pixel-2.webp 680w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Google-Pixel-2-300x150.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Google-Pixel-2.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Google-Pixel-2.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Google-Pixel-2-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72699 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Google Pixel 2016 \" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Despite many positive reviews from its initial launch, Google Pixel has a recently uncovered issue that might affect the company severely. In details, many Google Pixel customers have reported about the problem with its microphone. This drawback leads to a total audio input block on a call or video recording with camera application. Ever since the discovery, many users have flooded the Google Support Forum about the issue of Google Pixel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/google-pixel-pixel-xl-specs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel XL<\/a> handsets. According to Google&#8217;s statement, both Google smartphones have a failure-causing physical default in one of the three microphones on the devices. On the other hand, the cause can also be a hairline crack in the microphone&#8217;s solder. Sometimes, the problem fixes itself when you grip it in a specific manner. Interestingly, while none of the named plaintiffs has sent their units for repair, the lawsuit stated that even the replacement phones had the same problem.<\/p>\n<h3>When will Google release their official statement on the lawsuit?<\/h3>\n<p>For now, Google offers no comment on the situation. Moreover, Girard Gibbs LLP, the same firm which is also handling the lawsuit related to Pixel 2&#8217;s display, has taken over the problem with the Court. We are going to update you as soon as more information comes out! Stay tuned!<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past problem about Google Pixel 2016 defective microphone is back to haunt this US brand again!
