The Phone of The Year – Best Camera goes to Google Pixel

Smartphone of the year Award, best camera – Google Pixel

Technobuffalo just elected the smartphone with best camera for 2016. It’s the Google Pixel.

When the device was announced, it was claimed to be holding the title of the highest-rated camera ever on DxO – an industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings. Many people doubted it because Google never really had a good handle on the camera considering that the previous Nexus phones aren’t that good. And DxO ratings don’t necessarily translate into high quality camera performance at every shot you take.

But when it comes to the Pixel in 2016, it seems things have changed. There have been a lot of devices capable of taking awesome photos but the Pixel’s camera had been proven to be able to take pictures with the best exposure, focusing and image quality. Google really did a great job on tuning the camera on Pixel.

Google Pixel uses the same sensor that can be found in the Nexus 5X and 6P, which is a 1/2.3” Sony IMX 377 12.3MP sensor with an aperture of f/2.0. Also the camera features phase detection, laser auto focus, a revamped HDR+ mode and the new video stabilization. But optical image stabilization is missing from the Pixel.

First thing first, the interface of the camera is straightforward and easy to use. Taking a quick picture is easy with the Pixel. Shutter speeds are good in good lighting condition, and the autofocus works fine most of the time.

The Google Pixel is capable of taking really excellent photos almost every single time. And the HDR+ should take credit for the great performance. The Audo HDR+ mode helps get rid of a lot of noise in low-light condition and some darker areas of the scene and at the same time still keeps the colors on the warmer side of things.

And the Google Pixel is not just about snapping great pictures, Google made things better by allowing users to upload unlimited full-sized pictures and videos from the Google Pixel to Google Photos and it’s exclusive to the Pixel and not available to other devices. Other users are going to have to pay for extra space.

Google Confirms Two Flagship Android Wear Watches for the First Quarter for 2017

Google has confirmed that it’s launching two flagship smartwatches in early 2017. They would be coming out with the debut of Android Wear 2.0. And Google will have the watches built by a third-party manufacturer that has the experience of releasing Wear Watches before.

According to Jeff Chang, Product manager of Android Wear at Google, Unlike the Pixel phones, the watches won’t be carrying Google or Pixel branding. Instead, they would be carrying the branding of the manufacturer who actually builds the watches – But Chang has yet to confirm who that is.

According to The Verge, Change also said that they are making an effort to convince consumers that smartwarches are still in demand and the new watches are part of the effort. He also promised that new Wear devices from other manufacturers are on the way for 2017.

Once the new Wearables have arrived, Google will rollout Android Wear 2.0 to existing smartwatches. But not every watch is getting the update, just those of the most recent ones will and it’s partly because some features on Android Wear 2.0, like Android Pay, require certain hardware.

Other than Android Pay, Android Wear 2.0 will feature standalone apps that can be used without having the watch connected to a smartphone, and Google’s new voice-controlled Assistant. It will support iPhone, so does Android Pay with iOS.

Chang also demonstrated Google’s optimistic attitude towards smartwatches, “This is a marathon, not a sprint. This category of product is here with us to stay.”

The Most Underrated Phone of 2016

Technobuffalo just honored the LG V20 with the title of The Most Underrated Phone of 2016.

Strangely, LG kind of skills at making great phones and make them being underestimated. The G2, LG’s flagship phone in 2013, was actually a pretty awesome phone at that time. It featured a gorgeous 5.2-inch 1080P IPS display, a 13MP camera capable of shooting nice pictures and a decent 3000mAh battery. And the power button and volume rocker of the phone are placed at the back of the device, which makes the sides of the phone look very clean. And one of the most beloved features of the G2 is called Knock On, which allows you to wake the device by tapping twice on the screen. Despite its heavily skinned UI and the plastic body, it’s almost a perfect phone. But the sales of G2 didn’t go well, and it’s, of course, honored the most underrated phone of 2013.

This time in 2016, it’s a totally different story. The company should’ve handled the launch and the available time of the device in a better way. The V20 was announced at an early time but it was actually available months after its announcement. The hype couldn’t hold on for that long, no matter how great the device is.

You can find that the design pattern of the V20 is totally different from its predecessor, the LG V10, from the exterior stand point. But it kind of resembles HTC.  LG had been working on narrow bezels and high screen-to-body ratio and the result came out pretty well on G2 and G3, now it seems such a shame to abandon that design concept. The V20’s bezel is way off from what you’d expect from a flagship device and the manufacturer that once made the phone with a high screen-to-body ratio. In a time that all Android smartphones tend to have similar specs and user experience, the look of the phone can be the most critical element to be taken into consideration when buying a phone.

But still, the phone features great specs and a lot of stuff that you can barely find on other devices these days. As a flagship device, it has a 5.7 inch Quad HD display with the pixel density of 513ppi, Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 16MP+8MP dual camera with laser autofocus. And there are some features the LG V20 has that you can hardly find on other devices these days: expandable storage, removable battery, and a unique secondary screen which is capable of showing notifications, shortcuts and signature, etc.

All in all, the LG V20 is a wonderful device worthy of being called flagship and it shouldn’t be ignored by people who are looking for a premium phone. It’s too good a device to be missed out.
