  • Google's Pixel XL priced like Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, but it lacks numerous key features

    An article written by a true Apple fanboy.   

    Wide color gamut is not a feature - If the screen is beautiful, the screen is beautiful.  Nobody cares about wide color gamut.
    Actually, the end result (lack of result, that is) is in the fact that Android doesn't know how to handle color management...without which a "beautiful screen" isn't gonna help, sadly. 
    In the absense of the aforementioned CM, sRGB colors, placed in P3 color space will be oversaturated and incorrect.
    And, despite what you said, wide gamut along with high contrast and enought color bit depth should bring more realistic colors to PEDs, hence it is not a gimmick.

    I was actually surprized when I tried to snap a picture of a flower with my iPhone. The flower had petals of that purple-blueish color, which normally gets displayed wrongly even on a professional level of equipment (like Nikon DXXX level cameras). But because CM was followed through and through, the color of the actual flower and its image were quite close. Calibrated devices, along with a working CM pipeline, is what really allows you to use a screen to its full potential.
    I get it.  For purists, accurate color is very important.  For the majority of phone owners, I would suspect though, are more interested in colors that pop and are vivid.   People love the iPhone screens because it looks nice.  Never once have I heard people say "wow those colors look really accurate!". Usually it's more along the lines of "that's a GORGEOUS screen."  Gorgeous typically means vivid, bright, and poppy.  Also, do you really think that in a world in which Instagram users are posting photos that are filtered to oblivion that they would care about real world color accuracy?

    You sir are in dire need of a photo capturing device at affordable pricing. Check this out: Canon EOS Rebel T5i DSLR for $650, visit Amazon.com

    Some highlights of the Pixel Keynote Event:
    • Google believes that the next great innovation "will take place at the intersection of hardware and software, with AI at the center."
    • Google's goal is to build an "individual Google for each user" that understands your preferences and your interests, with a plan to make its Google Assistant product a "universal service."
    • Google expects the big bet it has made on its artificial intelligence and machine learning features to not only be a differentiator for its products but to really define what Google will be going forward.Check out http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-announces-neural-machine-translation-to-improve-google-translate/
    Pixel is a big change from having other Android phone makers design the Nexus phones, Pixel is "designed and built by Google." Reports say that Google is only designing and not actually manufacturing the Pixel devices and that in fact HTC is doing the manufacturing. That's analogous to how Apple doesn't do the physical manufacturing of the iPhone. You can argue that Google was actually even more in the hardware business when they owned Motorola a few years ago. Of course, Apple designs the actual processors in their phones, as do Samsung and Huawei for some models, which Google to date is not doing.

    Google announced a lot of new products, heralding Google's new focus on hardware to take advantage of it's back-end intelligence.
