 Hello everybody, this is the Pixel. It is phone by Google, it is a phone manufactured by Google, designed by Google, technically HTC made it, but this is the Google phone through and through, and you can tell by the Google logo on the back. This is the really blue version, it is the five inch version, and you can see it has this big glass shade which I got to admit picks up fingerprints, that's where the fingerprint sensor is, camera and so on. The body is like really nice, it feels really well put together, pretty well refined, and you know reflects or whatever. The screen is nice, it's got nice curve on the glass here, but of course the main deal is that the software here is Google's opinion on Android. So you can see we have a custom launcher here with circular icons, but what you really want to look at is the assistant, so I can launch it with a long press. Show me pictures of cats. And a little conversational interface that shows me pictures of personal photos. Show me pictures of hairless cats. There, got that pretty well. How about Siamese cats? And it figured out I still wanted to look at pictures, because why wouldn't you want to? How about cats with hats? I mean, that is what you want from a personal assistant right there. The other thing that you should know about this thing is Google's talking really big game about the camera. It's a 12 megapixel camera on the back and it doesn't have a camera bar, and Google says it's got the highest DxOMark camera score ever given to a smartphone, and you can see here it is really, really, really, really fast, and when you look at the photos on this nice screen, it is in fact a camera. And when you look at the photos on this nice screen, it is in fact really, really fast, and the photos here turned out pretty well. Obviously, we're going to need to give the photos a lot more testing to see what we really think. There's custom live wallpapers if you want to use live wallpapers from Google Earth or whatnot, and of course there is a traditional Google search there as usual. Last thing I'll tell you is that in the settings, which I will launch here, there is your standard settings and there's a support tab, and you can get phone chat or phone or chat support from a representative, and you can even share your screen with them so they can see what it is that you need. And one last trick, slide down on the fingerprint sensor on the back, and it brings down the notification chain, which is pretty neat. So that is Google Pixel. It is available for pre-order today. It is going to be in stores, I believe, on October 20th, and this version, it starts at $649 and it goes on up, so Google is really intending to compete at the premium level. For much more videos about Google's announcements today, be sure to check us out on YouTube.com slash The Verge. Oh, a couple more things. Single speaker on the bottom, but headphone jack on the top.
