Google : Introducing Google Pixel

Just came across the ad of this wonderful phone named Google Pixel. Google seems all set for a revolution, after introducing their first phone. All that is left for them is to launch a laptop/palmtop version to compete with Apple. This is in addition to the dominance in the web search department where Apple doesn't exist. If Google is able to succeed in the mobile market that would pave way to attempt forays into other new departments. I am sure innovation is underway at the Google HQ as we speak. I have always been a fan of the Google based Android backed smartphones. These phones now form over 80% of all smartphones in the market.

As it can be clearly observed, the Android has grown over the years overthrowing all the other existing operating systems. In fact one of the main reasons for the decline of Nokia, which was the best phone maker in the world. The inability to adapt to newer technology. They stuck too long with the Symbian OS hoping it would succeed only to realise that they had been wiped out from the market. As their CEO once said "We didn't do anything wrong but somehow we lost".

So coming back to the new phone introduced by Google, the Pixel. Here are some of the specifications:

If you visit the official Pixel website, some of the key features listed are:

1. Google Assistant built in
2. The highest rated smartphone camera. Ever. (12.3MP shooter)
3. Seamless Glass Aluminium body
4. Switch from your previous phone in 3 easy steps - Connect, Sign In and Transfer
5. Two sizes, Two colours. It comes in both black and white variants

One of the best things about the android devices released by Moto in India is that they provide a bang for the buck. Extremely price efficient with features which that can be compared with even the top devices in the market. I started using Google phones with its Nexus 5 smartphone which was an absolute delight. Post this I moved to Moto and I am using it till date. This is testament to the fact that these are some of the best VFM phones in the market today. Whether Pixel would be able to compete with the likes of Google remains to be seen. Let us wait and watch.

Random thoughts !!

Maybe because of the fact that all my days are truly boring and non eventful, maybe not, i dont know( i am good at coming up with excuses) that i refrain from posting in daily. Life as usual is truly hectic and not easy to describe the complex functionalities of the daily life, which can't be given a vivid description, but i assure you, survival is most difficult and what all things we do to just move is absolutely amzing and stunning, right from pleasing our teachers and doing assignments to the ever perilous task of explaining why your late for class, and coming up with new innovative excuses every morning does constitute a major chunk of our college life. And unlike the old days, when people used to say that college life is the best part ( still hear it a lot), i find it a struggle to merely move on, i mean the only real time we have is used up for finishing off daily chores and mugging for the next day, and you wouldn't believe it, there are teachers who actually punish yo...

The blog post!

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...

Reactive Powder Concrete

This was my topic for paper presentation ever since S3 and is tied to an array of memories. It all started in first year when a senior told me about presentations and how he had used that money to purchase an ipod. It wasnt the prospect of getting an ipod but the fact that platforms were open to display of talent that made me think seriously about this. And the perfect venue was open at Aavishkar, a tech fest conducted by CET when i was in S3. Me and my classmate Vivek formed a partnership and performed, we came out with 1st. Must admit the fact that both of us did considerable good work in presenting that paper. This was followed by a series of other fests in which i got 1st for the paper. It truly was a lucky paper. But some time recently it seems that its run outta luck. Well, basically i believe its because of my mindset. I must admit the fact that im tired of presenting the same thing over and over again. So at this juncture as i refrain from presenting this topic any further, I ...
