Made By Google New Tech

Made by Google is a interesting term since Google has never been in the mobile manufacturing industry. I personally am not sure if i like this move or not, this is kind of a big conflict of interest going on with this move as Google is also the owner of Android. That being said i am not really surprised by it. This new move is evident when you look at there new Google Store as it only host Made By Google products and all of the third party products have been removes right after the launch on October 4th.

A lot of new device just got lunched, some that I for one wasn’t expecting along with some that where missing from the line up like a Made by Google Android Wear watch. I have been using Android Wear devices from the beginning and i really like using it. I hope that Google will also enter this realm to round out there offerings.

Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL

The Pixel 2 is Googles new phone this year named after last years model the Pixel. The Pixel 2 has been updated with the latest specs and one of, if not the best camera on the market today. It will also come with stock Android Oreo of course since it is a Google product and get support for 3 years which is awesome. The price point on these devices is right in line with all other flash ship device on the market now with the Pixel 2 base model coming in at $649.00 and the Pixel 2 XL at $849.00. I will be purchasing the Pixel 2 XL as it comes with a better and bigger screen and higher battery capacity at 3520 mAh as well.  The Panda look as seen in the picture below is the style I ordered it just looks awesome to me. 🙂

Google Home Max & Home Mini

I have been using a couple Google Homes in my house since last year when Google released its first version and I have to say that I and my kids love using it. Listen to music with a Google Music account, just asking Google questions, or setting a time for dinner is awesome. The Google Home Max and Home Mini will be a awesome addition to the Home line. Home Mini gives you a cheaper option then the original Home if you just want to check it out and whats even better is if you pre-order the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL you will get a FREE Home Mini with your order. The Home Max in my mind is really designed for those Music lovers out there. It is probably one of the most expensive wireless smart speakers i have ever seen and for my needs is just way over prices at $399.00. My guess is that it will quickly drop in price as Google realizes that the demand for this product is really low.

Google Pixel Book and Pixel Pen

What can I say about the Google Pixel Book……  To dam expensive for a Chromebook. The Google Pixel Book starts at $999.00 and doesn’t even included the Pixel Pen.  The Specs on this Laptop are amazing but the limitations you have with Chrome OS kill it. This device has more power under the hood then what is needed for a Chromebook. Basically you are paying for hardware that will never get used to it’s full potential. I would by a Samsung Chromebook Plus and save $500 bucks. As you can see I am not really that excited about this product and prices point.

Google Clips

The Google Clips is the one device that i really wasn’t expecting from the event. Basically what it does is, you point the camera at something that you are doing and it uses AI to take pictures and then decide what pictures are good and send them to your smartphone using Google Photos app. This gives you a photographer where ever you bring the Google Clip. Google is focusing a lot of research on AI so I think in the near future we will be seeing more new devices that use AI to improve the user experience or SkyNet will take over i am really not sure 🙂
