I just heard a few days ago that Google is now jumping into the smartphone market. While there are dozens of good smartphone manufacturers, the key players in this market still seem to be the Samsung Galaxy and the Apple iPhone. Google has definately done something right, since the Samsung Galaxy in using the Android operating system that was developed by Google. Google has been working with Nexus delivering phones using Android, and it looks like the two decided to come together under one roof to produce the Pixel. My question is, how does it stack up against the competition?
