Following up on the first generation of Pixel smartphones, Google announced the Pixel 2. It will come in two sizes, 5\u201d Pixel 2 and the 6\u201d Pixel 2 XL. Both have very identical specs except for the size difference. Both come with crystal-clear cinematic OLED display, the fingerprint sensor on the back, front-facing stereo speakers and fast charging that will provide 7 hours of battery juice on 15 minutes of charge. Both will be powered by Android Oreo 8.0, the latest and greatest version of Android. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were a few feature highlights that are worth mentioning in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Camera Reimagined With Software<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google claims that the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have the best camera on any smartphone. It provided details on how it is using computational photography and machine learning for crisp, clear and detailed photos in any lighting condition. It is also making video capture more smooth by combining both optical and electronic video stabilization. The highlight camera feature was the portrait mode that Google has been able to achieve with just one camera lens by integrating hardware and software together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Squeeze For Help<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google has added a new feature called Active Edge that provides faster access to the Google Assistant by squeezing the edges of the phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s That Song?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pixel phones will automatically be able to identify and display song information playing in the background right on the device\u2019s lock screen. Google\u2019s claims that it uses on-device machine learning for the feature to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google is also making it easy for iPhone users to switch to the Pixel by making copying contacts, apps, photos and even iMessages possible in less than 10 minutes.&nbsp;Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will start at $649 and $849 respectively and will be available in the U.S, Australia, Canada, Germany, India, and U.K at launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Google Lens &#8211; Search What You See<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14271\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1.png\" alt=\"Phone Lens \" width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14271 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Phone Lens \" width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 855w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1-768x326.png 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Lens-1.png\"><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lens was arguably the most exciting announcement made at Google I\/O earlier this year.
