Qi Wireless Charging is carried over from the previous generation for rapid wireless charging.

Pixel phones are known for its mobile photography. Where other phones couldn’t do with three or even four sensors, Google had been doing it with one and doing very good at it. But this year Google is changing its gear to do even better. Google is bringing two sensors to the Pixel phones as mentioned previously. The main sensor is 12MP wide angle, while the second sensor is 16MP telephoto sensor.

 

 

Google is also bringing many new features to their cameras. One of which is Live HDR+. This feature will allow users to see a more accurate representation of what the resulting image will look like. This tool will also add brightness and shadow slider to tweak their shots as needed. Another feature Google tweaked this year is the portrait mode. With the addition of another lens, Pixel phones will be able to capture portrait photos more accurately giving proper separation between the subject and the background. Next up is the Night Sight. This feature is awesome. This feature takes 15 shots at once and blends them together to make one photo, one very good bright photo.

The Pixel Phones come with the latest Android 10 in the software side with many various features like Motion Sense which relies on Radar tech from Soli to register the motion of your hand, new Google Assistant that will be able to perform far more voice actions when not connected to the internet, a new voice recorder app which is able to transcribe text in real time and upgraded face unlock tool which uses Motion Sense radar module and Titan M chip to encrypt the face ID data and keep it secure.
