Google’s new Pixel range of phones have just been released in the US with some nifty new tricks and accessories. The new phone, like the last iPhone, has dispensed with the earphone jack. The difference with the Pixel buds is that the pair are linked with a chord and will automatically Google-translate if you want to understand a foreign language. Neat! The phones also have technology to identify signs or things you are pointing your camera at and link it to a Google search. Just another intuitive toy that, sooner rather than later, we will just assume as something all phones do.
Huawei have their new Mate 10 model coming out in two weeks and is rumoured to have a massive 4,000 mAh battery. Whoooooa!
So if you like your phones big and need to put your orders in for Christmas soon you have plenty of natty new phones to choose from. All of the new release smartphones also make phone calls.
