The first smartphones Google has made by itself, Pixel and Pixel XL, are the first to bear Android 7.1 and the first to have the impressive Google Assistant built in. The Pixel has a 5-inch HD screen, while the Pixel XL offers a 5.5-inch QHD display. The phones have a quad-core processor and 4 GB of RAM. I like that the fingerprint sensor is on the back — that would nullify the awkward fidgeting I deal with every time my iPhone fails to recognize my thumbprint — and the inclusion of an analog headphone jack is extremely welcome.
"The first smartphones Google has made by itself", this phone is made by HTC and branded in Google's name and its not the first time, the G1 was built the same way.
