The 5" Pixel and 5.5" Pixel XL also make its mark as the first Android phone that completely designed, engineered and distributed entirely by Google, according to Computer World. For years, Google has worked together with its partner to make Nexus brands, but this time the company decides to take things into its own hand.

The predecessor of Pixel and Pixel XL, Nexus has been around since 2010. Google partnered with many phonemakers to build its own smartphone, HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola Mobility, and the latest one was Huawei with Nexus 6P.

But Google wanted more.

For many years, Android phone has been able to consistently beat Apple iPhone in breakthrough and innovation. Nevertheless, there is no one company that has all the technology innovation into one Android phone. The ideal Android phone, according to The Verge, is the one with fingerprint scanner from Huawei, Sony's camera sensor, Samsung's display, and designed by HTC,

Pixel's camera scores highest in the 89 DxOMark Mobile score, which means its owner can take brilliant photo in any light condition.

Paired with its camera, Google offers unlimited access to photo and video storage for Pixel and Pixel L owners. While the last one is its top-rated specifications. Pixel is equipped with AMOLED display, fast imprint fingerprint scanner, glass aluminum body and big battery with fast charging ability.
