Google has introduced new line of smartphones called the 5-inch Pixel and the 5.5-inch Pixel XL. The two devices are basically big and small versions of the same design.
They have aluminum bodies with a large glass panel on the rear. The panel covers about a third of the back and surrounds the camera and fingerprint reader. The phones will be available in three colors: quite black, very silver, and a limited-edition really blue.
The Pixel has a 5-inch, 1920x1080 AMOLED display and a 2770mAh battery, while the Pixel XL has a 5.5-inch 2560×1440 AMOLED display and a 3450mAh battery.
The devices boast 4GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, a fingerprint sensor and a 12MP rear-facing camera.
Pixel has a pretty sweet perk for photo fans, too: Users will get free unlimited storage of photos and videos
Chromecast Ultra
Google announced the Chromecast Ultra, a 4K version of its very popular streaming device. The Chromecast Ultra will be able to stream 4K content from YouTube Netflix, and Vudu. The Ultra is its fastest Chromecast, regardless if you have a 4K TV or not, loading videos 1.8 times faster than the standard Chromecast, thanks to improved Wi-Fi connectivity. The company is also including an Ethernet port on the power adapter for users whose Wi-Fi connections may not be able to handle 4K streams.
