Google Pixel 2 will be presented on October 4 by the Google company, but in the meantime new functions are revealed that the phone will have in the fight with iPhone X. The Google Pixel 2 is manufactured by HTC, while the Google Pixel 2 XL is manufactured by LG, but both will benefit from a new technology that was included in the HTC U11 starting last year.
Google Pixel 2 will have the edges of the case sensitive to pressure, so that when the user squeezes the phone in his hand, certain functions are activated. The HTC U11 had this function praised by some and ridiculed by others, its usefulness being relative and that's because not everyone needs it, but those who will buy the Google Pixel 2 will receive it from the start from Google .
Google Pixel 2 will also have certain functions implemented in the Android operating system for the edges of the case that are sensitive to pressure. More precisely, users will have access to Google Assistant and should have access to menus with shortcuts for applications, or other interesting functions that Android 8 can offer for Google Pixel 2, but we will learn more about them only at the moment which phone will be presented.
Google Pixel 2 – the new feature in the battle with iPhone X
Google Pixel 2 has already been sent to the American authorities for certification in order to launch it on the market, appearing in the press all over the world last month. It is without a doubt that the Google Pixel 2 will be presented on October 4 and that it is produced by the HTC company, but it remains to be seen what surprise functions it will bring apart from the one regarding the pressure-sensitive casing applied by shaking hands.
Google Pixel 2 comes not only with this new function for the side edges of the case, but also with new voices for Google Assistant, the assistant evolving slowly but surely. Google launched the personal assistant for Android more than a year ago, but it still has a lot to implement to catch up with Siri, but with each update of Android it implements something new and important.
"Active Edge" has again been confirmed, with version 7.12 of the Google app noting the ability to "Squeeze for your Assistant," as well as settings on the device."
Google Pixel 2 will be presented on October 4 by the Google company, but it is not yet known when the official launch will take place. It is not known at what price Google Pixel 2 will be sold after it will be officially presented by Google, but probably the price will not be much higher than 800 dollars, so as not to be more expensive than phones like Samsung Galaxy S8, or iPhone 8.
