Pixel’s Key Highlights
- Designed by Google
Its curved edges make it easy to hold and smooth to touch. With a seamless glass-aluminum body and smooth surfaces, the phone was made to look and feel good in your hands. The 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 is used on the front display and back glass. The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint – the fingerprint sensor that uses your unique fingerprint to unlock the phone fast – for quick access to all your apps, texts and emails. Pixel comes in two sizes, 5” or 5.5”, and three colors: Very Silver, Quite Black and the limited edition for the U.S. only, Really Blue. In addition to customizing Live Cases with your favorite photos and places, there is a new Artworks collection that features exclusive designs from artists like Justin Maller, and photographers like Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.
