Google announces new Pixel smartphone

Google now makes smartphones. The company announced Tuesday they have designed their own lineup of phones, called Pixel and Pixel XL, and they’re already available for preorder. Prices start at $649.

With a polished aluminum casing, the Pixel and Pixel XL come in black, blue, and silver. The Pixel has a 5-inch display, while the Pixel XL has a 5.5-inch display. Both have storage options of 32GB or 128GB.

And get this: Google is giving unlimited cloud storage for full-solution images and videos. And virtual-reality fans will love the Pixel’s compatibility with the just-announced Daydream View VR headset.

Both models will be available only with Verizon, though. So if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to switch carriers.
