6 reasons not to buy guglofony Google Pixel
Android / / December 19, 2019
Six hundred and fifty dollars for the simplest younger model google Pixel. Six hundred ***** ****** fifty dollars! "Corporation goodness" that made the iPhone? It turns out, yes. More precisely, using the new Google smartphone plans to compete with Apple in the US market and possibly Europe.
Competitor iPhone?
What can Google Pixel compete with the iPhone 7?
This piece of glass on the rear panel, which is generally not the topic? These huge frames and empty square centimeters at the top and bottom of the screen, typical of a three-year-old smartphone? Google Pixel - design champion slurred 2016.
Compete with Apple... Apple - it's a fashion cult, sect, the great legacy of Steve Jobs with the ideology, closed ecosystem and the army of loyal fans, who get what they expect, for about the same price from year to year. They have taken away the most current connector, and they put another record on the purchased iPhones. No one else is not able to do, and especially Google. The credibility is not comparable.
Do a Google smartphone is no longer unique, no individuality. Now it is another Samsung, and even worse. Not only unnecessarily expensive but impersonal, it is unclear to whom oriented, with no corresponding reality ambitions. "Pixels" get lost among the same unnecessary overpriced-champions, whose sales have failed.
I understand that endlessly churning out cool device without looking at the profit can not afford to even Google the corporate level, but why so radically? Yes, I live in a poor country, but, in addition to per capita income, have more common sense, experience and heritage.
Guys, we can not abandon the philosophy which you promoted for six years, simply by changing the name of the device. Yes, smartphones are now called Pixel, but the user's head is still Nexus. Nobody cares, as we now call them, and positioning of your marketing because it's still a Nexus.
Remember what a real Nexus? Nexus - a balanced smartphone at an affordable price with the reference Google's Android, and guaranteed receipt of all the most recent versions and operating system updates as soon as they are released. I'm not talking about last year's "poluneksusah» 5X and 6P, who already were visible symptoms of the deadly disease. No, I'm talking about the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 - the best smartphones of its time. What is left out of this?
New Android?
Okay, you've seen the latest version, which is called Nougat and goes to number seven? I use it on my Nexus 5X and not really noticed a difference in the transition. How it differs from the sixth? In "zefirke" were really significant changes, and the "nougat" flashed dual view, which has already been implemented by some other manufacturers, and a few minor modifications. Everything.
Android for a long time does not change fundamentally. Cosmetics, small fixes and improvements, without which it is easy to live. Each new version of fewer different from the previous one. Now you can sit comfortably in the "top five." And in the "six". And "Seven." Private user does not notice the difference, especially under some launcher.
Top iron?
In 2016, it is not an argument, because the possibility of an iron for a long time ahead of the needs of users, systems and applications. Of course, on the Snapdragon 821 will still fly, but also to deshovenkom Mediatek MT6750, too, everything flies.
Qualcomm and the company slap new chips, because they have to sell. Already a whole generation of "enthusiasts" to distort tsiferki in features and synthetic tests. Frankly, I myself am such, otherwise would have bought Meizu M3s mini for 7000 rubles or equivalent and did not write the suffering that still obgadit in the comments.
I understand that in gigahertz, gigabytes and the ppi is no logic, but can not do anything with his zadrotskie kind. What difference does it pick up the smartphone 70 or 100 thousand points in AnTuTu? In both cases, excess capacity, but the battery is somehow kept day.
And in Google did not understand until now that the front convenient fingerprint sensor. Apple realized immediately. Meizu understand. Xiaomi has already shown a model with front sensor. Everyone understood, and Google does not.
One of the best cameras on the version DxOMark?
You heard something about it DxOMark before talking about it Google marketers? Familiar with the methods of analysis? As far as they are applicable in real-world customer scenarios? Indicative was always only one test: sfotkal, I looked praised. And you know what? All the champions are now excellent camera. Absolutely everyone.
Who, apart from arty mobile photographers care about the small nuances of a particular photosensor, if eventually Photo mercilessly squeezed and it appears in a social network can be viewed from a smartphone screen, on which very little that can be discern?
High-quality optical stabilization, smart clever trick - this is really good stuff, and the status of the "best camera according to someone there, "as well as other marketing noodles will never strikes the barrier sensible sanity person.
Humor?
Oh, those pranksters in Google! We tried to play with the names of colors. "Pretty black", "very silver," "really blue."
You should have said: "Black we can not, because the metal sucks painted with this color anodizing. Silver was a success, because aluminum itself gives a good metallic luster. Blue is expected unclaimed, but it turned out to paint better than black! "
Now I, too, poshuchu. I had a dream. I was at the game "Field of Dreams", was on the sector "prize", and Yakubovich starts vparivat me a certain amount of money to the contents of the black box remained a mystery. Go to complete failure, mustachioed understands that trade does not make sense, opens a drawer and pulls out Xiaomi Mi5s.
My next smartphone really is the Chinese brand, and with a high probability I focus on Mi5s, if at the time of its appearance in the sale Meizu will not release anything else more attractive.
Why Xiaomi Mi5s? Let's just compare it head to head with Google Pixel on key parameters, and everything will become clear.
google Pixel | Xiaomi Mi5s | |
CPU | Snapdragon 821 | Snapdargon 821 |
RAM | 4GB LPDDR4 | 3 GB LPDDR4 |
repository | 32GB UFS 2.0 | 64GB UFS 2.0 |
Screen | 5 inches, AMOLED Full HD, 2,5D Gorilla Glass 4 | 5.15 inches, IPS Full HD, 2,5D Gorilla Glass 4 |
camera | Summary - Sony IMX378, 12 MP; front - 8 MP | Summary - Sony IMX378, 12 MP; front - 8 MP |
link | One SIM, Wi-Fi 2,4 / 5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2, USB-C | Two SIM, Wi-Fi 2,4 / 5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2, USB-C |
Battery | 2770 mAh | 3200 mAh |
housing | Aluminum | Aluminum |
Price | 649 dollars | 300 dollars |
That is, instead of Google Pixel I'll buy two Xiaomi Mi5s - one himself another wife - and still remain 49 dollars for external batteries or new headphones.
