Get to know about Google Pixel 2 concept

Image
Last year, Google gave us the first two  Pixel  Smartphones i.e. Pixel with 5" Display and Pixel XL with 5.5" Display, with some extra Artificial intelligence in the form of the fledgling Google Assistant.  Both Google Pixel and Pixel XL were great devices but things like water resistance and an orignal design were left out because they ran out of time.  For 2017, Google has already decided and is all set to really show their vision for the highest-end Android phones.    Now, Designer Milineam N from behance has come up with an exciting new concept of Google's next flagship. Take a look-   This new concept shows 2017 Google's Phone with a all-glass back and a metal uni-body structure.    To the back, we have a centered  sensors and dual microphone  followed by  Camera and fingerprint sensor. You will find Google's "G" logo at the bottom.

How To Use Hangouts On Google Pixel And Pixel XL

Image
The Pixel ships with Android 7.1, Google's latest version of Nougat that includes a number of improvements. But some Pixel owners may find a surprising omission when they load up the Pixel for the first time: a lack of Google Hangouts. Some versions of the Pixel are shipping with Hangouts installed on the device but disabled, as Google tries to push people towards its new chat app, Allo. But if you, like me, are one of the remaining Hangouts diehards, here's how to re-enable it and get back to your old habits. How to enable Hangouts on the Pixel On the home screen, swipe down from the notification shade. Tap on the Settings cog. Scroll down and tap on Apps. Scroll down and tap on Hangouts. Tap Enable. After that, you can head to the Play Store and update the app to the latest version. That's it! Now you can get back to using Hangouts and ignoring Allo, like the good ol' days.

The rumor mills can now take a break as Google has finally taken the wraps off its Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones at the ongoing event in San Francisco. With today’s launch, the Nexus lineup is officially dead, and the Pixel lineup is quintessentially Google. Though manufactured by HTC, both smartphones feature the ‘G’ logo and are touted as ‘Made by Google’. The overall design and looks are in line with what has leaked before. Unlike before, both the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones look and feel the same, and they are only differentiated on the basis of size.
