Over the years, Samsung has been the only constant competitor to Apple, so companies like HTC, Sony and LG have appeared on the scene for a while and then fade away and remain. Samsung It does exist, but since last year, Google's parent company Android appeared on the scene as a major player and, as expected, it came out with a wonderful phone that attracted everyone's attention and the biggest flaw in it was the high demand for it! As Google did not expect this demand and was unable to provide sufficient quantities to the market, especially as it is new in the world of selling devices, and here we are this year with the new Pixel 2, which should sit side by side with the iPhone 10 and the Galaxy S8. So what did Google offer ?
Mocking Apple
Sarcasm is a strong weapon among companies these days. Apple mocks Android, Windows and Samsung mocking Apple and the circle continues, and when Google’s turn comes, it does not differ from others. It mocked Apple at last year's conference and also this year’s conference. I mentioned that it does not offer more advantages for an angel. Plus devices like Apple you are free to choose the size. Also, Google mocked Apple's choice of color names such as "Space Gray" and "Jet Black" and mentioned the colors of its devices as "somewhat blue", "black only" and "clearly white" and the actor said that he loves naming colors in reference to Apple 😀 Finally, it mocked the limited iCloud space that Apple provides to its users and praised it for providing unlimited space on its cloud for photos (for photos and videos only, not for all files).
Note: You can also get unlimited space to store photos on iPhone by downloading the Google Photos app.
Graphic Design
Perhaps the most controversial part of this phone is the design, as Google built the body of the phone from aluminum, but put an additional layer on it to give it that tight texture, which makes it firmly in the hand, but gives the feeling that the body of the phone is plastic. Google decided to maintain the process of use at the expense of the feeling of the quality of the device's body. It also kept the glass part in the back, which became characteristic of Pixel phones. The most controversial part is the edges of the phone! Both versions come with large frames, especially those above and below the phone, and this stands out a lot with the regular pixel version, as it contains very large frames that we did not expect in 2017 from the only Google device. Do the rest of the specifications compensate for the design defect?
Headphone Entrance?
Last year, Google mocked Apple's cancellation of the headphone input and then expected that this is only temporary and that Google will cancel the same entrance in the future, and this is what happened with the Pixel 2, as the company canceled the headphone entrance in the device. What, Google?
Now the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack, save this tweet and contact me after a year, all phone companies will follow Apple and you will not find a phone with a special headphone jack

Best camera by DxOMark
Once again, Google does it, and last year the pixel camera got the highest rating, according to the specialist, DxOMark. The camera came with the highest rating for this year. The company came with many surprises, the first of which is the presence of one camera that does two! Google chose to use a single camera, but with a "dual pixel" technology, meaning that each pixel is divided into two parts, which gives more accurate data in the image, so Google can analyze the data and make the depth effect similar to what dual cameras do like Apple's. Google also benefits greatly from the artificial intelligence in the camera, which is its strength, so it deals with images as data that can be fully processed by the system, and indeed the initial tests praised the strength of the camera and it may precede the iPhone 10 camera, but we await comparison experiences when the two phones are released, expect a close comparison.
(The iPhone got a score of 96 for the produced image and 94 as a final evaluation, while the Pixel 2 got a score of 98 as a final rating)
the system
How do we mention Pixel phones without mentioning the system? It is the biggest feature that raises Google above competitors from other Android designers, and this is the case with the Pixel 2 device, you find that Google's Android system is the best and smoother, and it is also the fastest to get updates, but the most prominent feature of this year is a greater integration of the Google Assistant Smart Assistant Which integrates with Google's artificial intelligence system, and there are several aspects of the experience:
Google Assistant: Of course, Google Assistant is present on many phones, including the iPhone! But the early experiments praised him on the pixel device a lot, for example, he quotes writer Dieter Boone from TheVerge website, “I said (Ok Google) and the device heard me across the room ... Android manufacturers have been promising this for years, but the truth is that none of their technology has worked like this yet. .. ”
Active aspects: This is not the first time for the feature as it was originally invented by HTC, but Google decided to use it in the Pixel phone (manufactured by HTC) and its benefit is - it seems - to facilitate the opening of the assistant. You only have to squeeze the edges of the phone to run the Google Assistant, and you can also use it to silence incoming calls. But you cannot make any changes to its operation as setting another application.
Google Lenses: A feature that is not completely new, but Google started focusing on it recently as a major feature, which is Google Lenses, which enables you to take a picture of something and then the Google Assistant identifies this thing and searches for it on Google .. Good words, but the truth is different and the feature still needs more improvement It does not recognize things accurately, especially if there are no written texts in the pictures. Are you asking why Google releases an incomplete feature? The answer is mostly to collect data, as all of these features are built by Google on artificial intelligence, which must learn and collect data before it starts working properly.
Other specifications
The rest of the specifications are fairly standard ... as you would expect from any other Android device. Water and dust resistance, Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB and 128 GB storage capacities. Google also integrated high-definition stereo headphones above and below the phone screen (in those giant edges).
Comment iPhone Islam
Google is a competitor not to be underestimated and it always comes with calculated devices and has its target group of users, and this is actually what it has done with a pixel phone, beginning with the imaginary camera and ending with the improvement of the artificial intelligence system significantly, although all Android phones get it, but it works optimally on Google phones . Of course, you will not get everything with the phone, so will the camera keep you away from the small edges, which have become the basis of purchase for many users? Will this camera convince the system-related iOS user to take the Android experience as a primary device?
