Google Pixel and Pixel XL Up For Pre-Order In India On October 13; Prices Revealed

Last night a Google event was afoot and we knew what was coming. Google has ventured into the smartphone market all by itself without taking help from a third party manufacturer like it did with the Nexus series and has come up with two new smartphones. The Google Pixel and Pixel XL were the highlight of yesterday’s event and they deserve the limelight. The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are made out of seamless glass-aluminium for smooth and easy to grip surfaces. The Google Pixel and Pixel XL come with a fingerprint sensor on the rear called the Pixel Imprint that can not only be used to unlock the phone but swipe through notifications.

The two key differences between the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are their displays and battery. The Google Pixel sports a 5inch Full HD AMOLED display with pixel density of 441ppi that is covered in 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

The Google Pixel is powered by a 2770mAh battery while the Pixel XL is powered by a 3450mAh battery owing to its bigger size.

For a larger 128GB storage you have to shell out Rs. 66,000. The bigger Google Pixel XL costs Rs. 67,000 for the 32GB and a whopping Rs. 76,000 for the 128GB variant.
