The story of the Pixels

Before the arrival of this family, Google had the nexus. This first attempt of the company was born in January 2010 thanks to an alliance with HTC, who made the phones. These versions came to have eight cell phones in total, having alliances with brands such as Samsung, Sony, Motorola and LG.

These first cell phones, for the most part, opted for low prices to compete in this range, until in 2015 they decided to end the project to modify the plans and have a much more premium phone. Thus, in 2016, was born Pixel.

Pixel and Pixel XL

In this first version, an alliance with HTC and its main attractions were in the camera and very high performance. In addition, they were pioneers of Android 7.1, which allowed multi-window and reply to messages from notifications.

The Pixel had a 5-inch screen, a 2,770 mAh battery, a 12 MP camera, and a processor. Snapdragon 821. While the XL increased its screen to 5.5 inches, the battery to 3450 mAh and a RAM of 4 GM.
