The two brands inextricably linked with Android show their numbers for 2017, but are they enough?
Feb 14, 2018
Android is the most prolific smartphone operating system in the world. While Samsung is still the world's largest smartphone maker by far, the other players are still doing their thing, including Android's creator, Google. Google managed to ship 3.9 million smartphones in 2017, which is more than doubled compared to the prior year's shipment, and yet even then it's but a small part of the 1.5 billion dollar smartphone market.
On the other hand, the father of Android, Andy Rubin, saw a much bleaker outlook for his Essential Phone brand, which shipped a paltry 88,000 units in the same year. If Google's numbers were but a small slice of the pie, the Essential Phone is but a drop in the bucket. Neither are market leaders by any stretch, but Google is seeing much better results while doing its own thing, while Essential is barely even on the map after facing stiff competition from rivals and numerous internal problems that caused delays in the shipment of the Essential PH-1.
There is no doubt that Google wants the Pixel brand to be the true rival to Apple's iPhone, in a bid to legitimize their mindshare alongside the iconic iPhone. The reality check though is that Samsung is currently the real rival to Apple, and Google still needs to work on their marketing: Apple started the year selling around 850,000 iPhones per day in early Q1 2018. That means that Apple has, in just one week, already outsold Google's entire 2017 numbers. Essential on the other hand needs to get its act together. Plagued by shipment delays and the mass exodus of its key executives, the startup has been unable to move phones and capture mindshare like its rivals. While we can expect a certain amount of growing pains from the fledgling tech company, if Essential doesn't do better with their next effort they might not be around come 2019.

The Google Pixel 2 is the Google's newest release of smartphone under its pixel series along with its bigger sibling, the Pixel XL 2. The Google pixel 2 is the successor for the last year's excellent Google Pixel smartphone and also the second shot of the company in developing an Android version of iPhone 8 and an attempt to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S8.
In terms of design and build, the Google Pixel 2 has an aluminum body and a stoney-like textured finish at the back for easier grip. The Google Pixel 2 is different from the first Pixel handset when it comes to physical look but it has been improved in various ways such as the dual front-facing speakers, IP67 water and dust resistance, and a faster Snapdragon 835 processor. The device has a 5-inches AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The upper and lower screen bezels are thick, unlike any other flagship devices. There's a fingerprint sensor at the rear panel of the device but it lacks a headphone jack which is a quite annoying change. The Google Pixel 2 has a dimension of 145.7 x 69.7 x 7.8mm and weighs 143 grams. The smartphone is available in Just Black, Clearly White, and Kinda Blue color variants.
The camera of the Google Pixel 2 is one of the amazing features of this handset. It has improved its single-lens camera from the previous version but didn't follow the trend of having a dual camera like those featured in the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy 8. The device comes with a single primary12.2MP sensor with f/1.8 and optical image stabilization. It can shoot UHD 4K video at 30fps but not as good as the iPhone 8's incredible UHD 4K at 60fps. Other features include OIS, phase detection & laser autofocus and dual-LED flash. It has a secondary 8MP sensor with f/2.4 for snapping selfies and has the capability of recording HD 1080p videos.
The Google Pixel 2 unsurprisingly runs on Android 8.0 Oreo, the current version of the mobile operating system which makes multi-tasking easier and excellent.
The Google Pixel 2 incorporates a Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, an octa-core system-on-chip which is more advanced than the first-gen Pixel phone with just Snapdragon 821. It is coupled with 4GB of RAM, Bluetooth 5/0 radios, and up to 128GB of internal storage. There's also a dedicate Adreno 540 (Graphics Processing Unit) which is added to this setup for a seamless high-end graphics computing.
The Google Pixel 2 carries a non-removable Li-ion 2700 mAh battery with support to quick charging thanks to its USB-C fast charger which can charge from empty to 60 percent in just half-hours' time. The Google Pixel 2's battery will last for about a full day on a single charge.
Google is an American multinational company which is engaged in Internet-related services and products. The company is based in Googleplex, Mountain View, California, U.S. It was founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page on September 4, 1998, when they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. The Google owns the Android operating system which is the world's most famous smartphone OS and involves in numerous acquisitions such as the YouTube and Waze.
