The tech giant hopes to strengthen its footing in
the hardware market with the release of a new phone and VR headset.
Google has unveiled a new smartphone and a virtual
reality (VR) headset it hopes will take on the likes of Apple and Samsung.
Pixel comes in two sizes and has the best mobile
camera ever made, the tech giant said at an event in San Francisco.
Artificial Intelligence is at heart of the device,
which has digital helper Google Assistant built in, along with a battery that
can get a seven-hour charge in just 15 minutes.
It also has a dedicated headphone jack, something
Apple has eliminated from its latest iPhone.
Pixel phones will come in black, blue and silver and
be available with screens 5" and 5.5" across (12.7cm and 14cm).
The Daydream View VR headset will work with the new
Pixel phones and other Android devices.
Supported by a companion controller that can be used
as a remote, it will enable users to watch YouTube videos and access Google
Maps in virtual reality, as well as play games.
