Google announces new smartphone

Google is getting back into making phones. Google debuted its two newest flagship phones--the Pixel and the Pixel XL--at an event in San Francisco, CA today. Like the older Nexus-branded phones, the new Pixel phones will run a stock version of the Android operating system. From a design and specification standpoint the two phones are similar to other current flagship smartphones on the market. The first two features that Google focused on during the announcement were the built-in Google Assistant and the improved camera software.
