today's video is brought to you by Braintree payments hey everybody out there in YouTube land Tech fans welcome back once again to the channel I'm Alec your host and today we're gonna be taking a look at the world's very first Google smartphone that's right and that's the Google pixel now a few folks out there who live in the Google world like me most of us PC fans do then you're gonna find this phone very very easy to use and simply probably one of the nicest phones you're ever gonna get your hands on this year so with that said though let's jump in let's do the unboxing check out what comes in the box talk about those specs go over the features check out some awesome camera stuff and then they did a talk about how my first 48 hours were with the brand new Google pixel so let's go so obviously there's the Box not too much of quite exception going on here but we do have a box inside of the box then right up front we have the phone and NEX accessory so we'll go ahead and we'll flip the phone around just take it and set it off to the side inside we've got all kinds of instructions and stuff like that so if you all your QuickStart guide and all that stuff that all comes inside of here I'm not gonna make you guys read it all you'll be bored to death first up the USB see the standard adapter cable then after that the USB C to standard adapter plug then both of your USB C on both ends this is gonna actually work with the including charger plug what's great about this other cable though too is that in case you lose this or you gotta hook up to your PC you have both types of cables so you're covered all the way around with the cable and since USB C it's going to be going much faster then we have the phone itself I'm not even gonna bother with anything here I'm just gonna go ahead just rip this plastic sleeve off here take the phone out and you guys can see the phone and all of its lovely glory now the design of the new pixel it features an aerospace grade aluminum unibody and the color on its white silver and then on the very back you guys can see it has kind of a glass thing here which is kind of cool then we have silver down here with the Google logo you guys can see the Wi-Fi bands going right across here the pixel features a five inch AMOLED screen that features Full HD viewing so you get 1920 by 1080 at 441 pixels per inch so you know everything's gonna look sharp and clean the pixel sizes in at five point six by two point seven by 0.2 inches and it's also about 0.3 inches thick depending on where you're holding the phone in your hand now as you guys can see the screen on here is actually pretty awesome it features a 100% NTSC rating which means that pretty much all the television programs and all those things that are made are gonna work perfectly and show up exactly as they are on the phone you also get a hundred thousand one super contrast ratio that's just incredible and you also get true black which means that all your colors in the background are gonna be really vibrant against that black background it also features sixteen point seventy seven million colors and a really good thing about it as well is that even when you turn the phone thirty degrees you only lose about 40 percent of the brightness of the phone so you can pretty much view it at any angle without losing the image and while we're still on the front of the pixel let's talk a little bit about that selfie cam now for you narcissus out there this is a fully eight megapixel camera that features 1080p stuff so if you're not taking pictures of yourself hey smile you're on candid camera a really cool feature though about the pixel is the way that the camera can be changed so if you turn the camera on and it's facing the direction that you don't want you want to take that selfie picture all you need to do is just go like this with the camera and it switches it to the selfie camera it may look a little bit awkward and public like you're playing with yourself for something but hey if you're not doing that now let's flip the pixel around let's take a look at the back side we see the fingerprint reader now this is pretty cool because not only is it a fingerprint reader it also doubles as a notification thing so all you need to do is slide your finger across it and all of your notifications stuff comes down and then you can close it back out to your liking and last but not least in the very top we see the main cameron there are a lot of features here that I like about this especially for those people who aren't totally into like doing everything manually for those automatic people I like this twelve point three megapixels and aperture of f28 oh and just a lot of other things that we'll talk about a little bit more than make this camera I think one of the absolute best things about the pixel on the side of the camera we see the control buttons obviously the one in the bottom is your volume up and down toggling for your song and stuff like that above that we see the power button but the power button is pretty cool does like I showed you earlier all you have to do is double tap that button and you're into the camera on the bottom we see the USB type-c charging port and we also see dual stereo speakers and yes of course there's an audio jack before we see even more features let's check out our sponsor Braintree payments

slash t OT another feature that I really like about the pixel is most of time to put in your SIM card you have to actually remove the entire back of your phone that could be a pain in the butt some people break stuff really if you're not really mechanically inclined everything you can make a mistake and screw it up but the pixel it's very simple to insert your SIM card you simply just push this little button on the side it pops open you insert your SIM card and you're up and going it's very simple and very very user in tune for the RAM inside the pixel it features four gigabytes of lpddr4 the storage options are 32 gigabytes or 128 gigabytes the device that I'm holding in my hand is actually one hundred twenty eight gigabyte version and that's pretty cool that's a lot of space but what's actually even totally better and I'll just talk about that right now before I talk about the processor is the availability to have unlimited storage for your photos and videos that's right I said it folks unlimited storage for all your photos all your videos so never have to worry about ever coming up with a thing it says memory full we all know that sucks if you're out in public or somewhere you don't want to run out of stuff if a transfer you can or pictures of your family that plainly sucks though with the pixel you never have to worry about that ever again take as many photos stupid or otherwise of you and your family and you can all load them up forever with the pixel under the hood empowering the pixel is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor now this is actually two processors in one you feature a single 2.1 5 gigahertz processor and another 1.6 gigahertz processor and this is fully quad-core 64-bit technology and few folks out there who are thinking about doing some video with the pixel you will be very happy you can actually get up to 120 frames per second at 1080 and 30 frames with 4k so it's totally covering you for filming video the video stabilization features the pixel are very nice here you can see it was stabilization on and then here's another example of with it off and you guys can pretty much see the difference obviously it's working well so now let's just check out the camera like I said before folks if you're one of those people who knows how to totally manually adjust your camera and get the absolute most out of it there's probably a smartphone out there that may give you more options but if you're a person out there who likes simplicity you just want to click shoot or make a video this phone is amazing and I love the camera options on it me myself I'm not that kind of person that knows all those camera features there's people out there that do but me myself hey I'll admit it when it comes to camera stuff I'm a rookie but you guys can see all the options work really well you get great stabilization you get great auto focus and even in the low-light the camera takes great pics you guys can see me and buddy we were almost in a dark room when this picture was taken the camera also features pixel lens blur and what this does this helps with your field of depth which means that you see me nice and sharp but the objects behind me are a little bit blurry now this feature usually only comes on more expensive cameras so it's definitely a great feature of the pixel the pixel features a 2770 milliamp hour battery now this offers a lot of things your standby time is up to 19 days which is pretty incredible your talktime up to 26 hours your internet use time up to 13 hours video playback up to 13 hours audio playback with a headset up to 110 hours that's a lot of damn music listening and best of all you get up to seven hours of usage from a mere 15 minute charging period I like that vos on the pixel is Android 7.1 nougat and this is very very easy to use like I said if you're a person who's a PC enthusiast you've probably been using Google stuff for a long time and what I feel is best of all is that when you buy a new phone there's usually a lot of a pain in the ass with getting all of your information over onto your new phone and with this it's very simple to use you can either transfer all the information from your Android phone or if you're turning to the light side of the force and coming from an Apple over to an Android device it'll do that as well another thing I find very useful about nougat 7.1 is in the old days you actually had to click on an apps tab to get into your apps those days are long gone the 7.1 you simply slide it up and you get access to all your apps and what's even better is you can simply hold your finger on the button and it gives you options for that app which is really cool the pixel even features a little Google tab all you get is hit with your finger and then BAM you're automatically into Google if you're like me and you don't like doing a bunch of typing that means that you talk and dictate into your phone now for you Apple guys you guys use Siri but for us Google guys we get Google assistant and it works absolutely great all you do is simply say what you want to say and it'll take you to where you want to go the bottom line folks is that nougat 7.1 is more user friendly than any other version I've seen out it makes accessing everything on your phone so much simpler and easy to do although it's kind of hard to tell just watching a video I got to tell you guys that the screen is really awesome all the colors are really well represented when you're watching movies and all that stuff you guys can see that they're very vibrant and the sounds not all that bad either me personally though I wish kind of the location of the stereo speakers was on the top instead of being on the very bottom because then when you were listening to it you'd actually get a true stereo representation as it is when you turn the phone sideways the speaker's are both to either your left side or your right side that's just a little bit weird so we've seen that the Google pixel takes great pictures especially for those people who really don't know what they're doing in photography you just want something simple it works great but what if you're out and you record a lot of stuff that has to with like live music and live events let's see how it does with my very powerful ignaty rant so let's hear some guitar and some rockin that's in the high a volume quick how does it sound alright folks so there you guys have it I've only had this phone for a couple of days but so far I have to say I'm so impressed that I'm gonna switch over to this phone you guys saw before I was debating about maybe even switching off to some other crazy phone by Apple but after having that I was very disappointed I gotta say but this phone is really cool the nougat 7.1 actually meets my expectations it goes a little bit farther I mean I was expecting some small little changes but the changes in 7.1 nougat are actually astronomical now you guys saw when I had the LGV 20 phone that it wasn't running very well on that phone at all obviously LG recalled all those phones and seven different ones out but on this phone there's no recall everything is running perfectly I like it a lot and like I said if you're a person out there you just click and shoot and that's how you like to do stuff you don't want to worry about all those manual things and trying to figure out how to do like your a camera faites know the pixel rocks I gotta say that I don't know if it's the absolute best freaking camera that's out there right now but I gotta say it's definitely one of the best like I said before also if you like all those manual adjustments there may be something out there better for you but if you're a person who likes simplicity it's just like that on this videos they're good camera options are good stereo sounds pretty good like I said before it's a little bit weird I don't know why they really put the stereo speakers down here because whenever you're watching a movie or anything you're watching your you know smart device like this so why not put the speakers up here so if you need to Cummings out there watching this video move the frickin speakers man because I want full stereo you know what I mean I want full stereo I don't want stereo on the bottom all to my left and if you're gonna have stereo speakers on a phone why not give them true stereo separation as you all know we don't watch movies like this we don't hardly listen to music like this everything is like this so I don't know one little small little caveat at the end of the day though if you want the 32 gigabyte model there's $649 if you want the hundred twenty-eight gigabyte model like I got here in my hand this one's $749 is aus pricing obviously you know around the world price is going to be different the version I have is also completely unlocks of the work with any of the carriers out there me myself I'm a Verizon guy so slap my sim card in there and be up and going but at the end of the day I gotta say just for the short time that I've had the Google pixel it's a kick-ass smartphone all the information about this you want to read more and all that stuff leather information down below we have more stuff coming up speed tests water tests even more stuff on camera in a full video we're gonna film on the Google pixel and bring it to you guys so we'll see you guys back in the channel for more tech
