The phone comes in 5inch and 5.5-inch (12.7cms to 14cms) and, in another dig at Apple, comes in Quite Black, Really Blue and Very Silver.<\/p>\n
Other specs include fingerprint sensor, aluminium body, USB-C charger, a headphone jack and a 12.3 megapixel camera with a f\/2.0 aperture.<\/p>\n
Unlike the Samsung and Apple phones, it is not water resistant.<\/p>\n
It costs $US649 but the Pixel phones will be Australia starting at $1079…<\/p>\n
Telstra is the exclusive Australian retailer for the Google Pixel phone.<\/p>\n
Telstra says the advantages of the Pixel phone include: the latest 4G technology for the fastest mobile speeds in Australia of up to 200Mbps in 4GX areas.<\/p>\n

The Pixel looks like a damn nice Android phone. So far from the hands on videos up their new launcher looks pretty good too albeit focused on circular icons.<\/p>\n
The marketing BS and independent testing around the “best camera in a smartphone” seems a little over the top but it certainly does look faster than anything I’ve used on a phone before. Including the iPhone 7.<\/p>\n
Most impressive is Google’s smart assistant that appears to operate in a more conversational way. Having it actually know that something you say\/ask may be related to something you said less than 10 seconds ago to it already is a welcome and vast improvement in the digital assistant market.<\/p>\n
It’s not cheap though and it solidifies Google (HTC) as a competitor in the high-end smartphone\u00a0manufacturer pool.<\/p>\n
