Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Google Pixel: The smartphone will no longer be updated in 2018 and 2019!

sivertime — Mon, 01 May 2017 16:35:30 +0000

Google has announced the upcoming updates for Pixel and Pixel XL. In 2018 and 2019, smartphones may be outdated.
While a Google Pixel 2 prototype is in circulation , the Mountain View firm has set up its upgrade program for the first generation of its eponymous smartphones. The Google Pixel released in October 2016 was well received by critics and many saw it as an interesting alternative to high-end devices. A few months after its launch, Google is already burying it … According to its official support page, there are only one and a half years of guaranteed updates for Android and two and a half years For mobile security updates. Quite surprising when we see the longevity durations of iOS devices through the patches brought by Apple.
As of October 2018, the Google Pixel will not benefit – except reversal of situation – from any additional Android update. A year later, it will be the turn of the security patch to no longer be assured. The smartphone will then become obsolete. Placed on a high-end ground, it would have been desirable that Google pushes a little further the improvement of Pixel and Pixel XL. However, one can imagine that the company wants to focus on its future projects including the next generation of Google Pixels estimated at three with Snapdragon 835 within them . Will Google ‘s strategy pay off?

Samsung Galaxy S8, iPhone 7: They are the only one in the world

sivertime — Mon, 01 May 2017 16:23:29 +0000

In the smartphone planet, they are only two. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7 completely crushed the competition. The geek chronicle of meltyStyle will explain!
The news of the smartphone planet has been largely occupied by the release of the Samsung Galaxy S8 this week. This is one of the highlights of the year, and the situation is expected to recur in the fall, for the announcement of the iPhone 8, which is a huge challenge for Apple . No other mobile is today capable of attracting as much attention as the two South Korean and American flagships. Both smartphones grab everything on the market. Leaders of innovation, the two high-end phones are the only ones in their areas to experience commercial success. It leaves no room for other actors. Who will compete with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7? In 2017, the list of contenders is weak.
There is a not-so-distant time when the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7 would have competed. HTC, Sony and even LG were able to release high-end smartphones able to compete with the two giants. Not all of them were commercially successful, but they had the merit of innovating and capturing the attention of the technological press. The same observation is difficult to make today. Fingerprint scanners, curved screens, 64-bit processors, voice aids or powerful cameras … All these innovations have been presented by the two heavyweights of the market. The competition preferred to focus on the middle and the entry level. On the high end, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7, sold less than 650 € , are alone in the world … and for a long time.
New competition has emerged in recent years: those of Chinese manufacturers. Huawei / Honor, Xiaomi or Meizu have made the specialty to release powerful and high-quality smartphones at prices well below those of Apple and Samsung. In China, it dominates the majority of the market . In the West, few journalists compare them directly to a Samsung Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7. These are nevertheless the only smartphones able to compete with these. The classic actors who have tried have always broken their teeth. The LG G6, the Google Pixel or the Sony Xperia XZ Premium have not yet managed to pack the crowds. What do you think ?

The Google Pixel missed its launch . Presented last October, the first smartphone of the search engine was nevertheless attractive on paper. In practice, it has faced many technical problems. His photo sensor or microphone know, for example, quite serious bugs. Google has tried to make software fixes, via Android updates, but that was not always enough.

This suggests that the search engine has solved the hardware concerns of its phone, via changes in production.
Google has confirmed half-word information. “We have taken additional steps to [fix the problem] on the production lines since January,” thus explained the search engine on its forum . This Google Pixel 1.1 would address mainly the concern of the microphone. Its designer claims that the bug affected less than 1% of phones marketed since October. Concerned about the problem?

Google Pixel: What if a low price version really saw the day?

sivertime — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:30:25 +0000

After denying the rumor, and if Google really released a Pixel small price … but with another name?
Google had largely denied it lately through one of its spokespersons: there will be no small version of the Pixel smartphone . However, some rumors still evoke an entry-level phone that would abandon the termination “Pixel” for another name. Logic when we know that the firm has claimed that this range would remain premium no matter what happens: a better way to compete with the future iPhone 8, Huawei P10 or even iPhone 8, very powerful smartphones. Until now, Google has always offered phones that are both accessible and powerful with the Nexus range that was developed by the HTC manufacturer.
Rick Osterloh, one of Google ‘s spokespersons at MWC 2017, had only specified that the Pixel range would remain premium without mentioning the possibility of a more accessible variant. A new one that would make the happiness of the aficionados of new technologies but which do not necessarily the means to invest every year in a new model expensive. The firm, which formalized the commercialization of Google Pixel 2 this year , could well surprise us with a new announcement. Of course, as long as nothing is formalized , we must take these rumors with tweezers since many of them have unfortunately proved to be false with time! Would you like to see a small price range?
