While all eyes are worn on the eternal battle between Apple and Samsung in the market for smartphones and tablets, Google once again calls in part by introducing a new range of high-end smartphones, a new convertible tablet and a new TV dongle Chromecast.
The US giant has tried somehow to do the show Tuesday, September 29 in San Francisco, without the talent of Tim Cook and Apple teams. Over an hour of very boring ads (in the version broadcast streaming anyway)! And yet launched products were enough to make up the atmosphere. Especially as the “Event” Google almost met all the ads from Apple during his keynote last September. The Mountain View group sought to provide a rival for the various products launched by the firm at the apple.
First two smartphones Nexus: 5X, signing the largest LG back in partner manufacturers and 6P, designed by the Chinese giant Huawei and number 3 market. Two devices that take over the Nexus 5 and 6 and who have in their sights the iPhone and the iPhone 6S 6S Plus.
Both phones are equipped with a fingerprint reader to identify and secure payments, a 12.3 megapixel camera on the rear (5 megapixel front) and ship the new payment system of Google , Android Pay. They rotate both Android Marshmallow 6.0, the new version of the Android operating system will be available from next week. And finally, they have greater autonomy than 30% over previous Nexus 5 and 6.
The iPhone 6S in the crosshairs of Google
Technically, the 5X is equipped with a full HD (1.920×1.080 pixels) 5.2-inch, u n Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 808 hexa-core 2GHz with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 418 GPU, capacity 16GB or 32GB. Note that the camera uses the technology of LG G4 laser autofocus. Its price starts at 379 dollars for the 16GB version. 6P meanwhile is equipped with a Quad HD display (2.5560×1.440 pixels), a 810 Snapdragon processor, 3GB of RAM, a laser autofocus. Starting price? $ 499.
Both devices are already available for pre-order in the US, UK, Japan and Ireland. They will be other countries next week, assured Google .
By renewing its range of smartphones, Google intends to confront the best- sellers market that are the iPhone and iPhone 6S 6S Plus (Apple announced having sold over 13 million copies worldwide in just three days) and the Galaxy S6 Edge and Edge + Samsung. The objective is to address the segment of high-end, and with very competitive smartphones and at prices much more affordable than competitors … the United States. “We pay attention to what users worldwide have high quality smartphones at affordable prices,” said Sundar Pichai, head of products and future boss of Google. European rates are however significantly less interesting: 479 euros for the first model Nexus 5X and 649 euros for the first model Nexus 6P. (up to 799 euros for the 128 GB!).
Google does not stop there. The American giant has also invited on the ground tablets with its pixels C, with a 10.2 inch screen, the resolution 2.560×1.800 pixels (308 pixels per inch), 3 GB RAM and an Nvidia Tegra processor X1. Unlike previous models (Nexus 7 and 10), it is the first Android tablet made entirely by Google itself. With a keyboard that loving without a tripod, it is the field of hybrid products and displays a very professional functionality to come defy the Microsoft Surface Pro Pro and the new iPad presented by Apple in September. Its original price is $ 499 (32 GB) which must be added $ 149 for the keyboard. A price below 799 dollars an iPad Pro.
Next Gen Chromecast
The third Google’s answer to Apple focused on the television market with its new dongle Chromecast . This box plugs into your TV’s HDMI connector and can transfer content from a smartphone or tablet and access the application store online Google . Unlike the previous, the new model design changes (round) and color and displays a Wifi faster throughput. It also gives access to video games and streaming is also available as audio version for converting an old channel or enclosure product connected (via jack 3.5 mm). The latter provides access to Spotify and Deezer, in addition to Google Play. Both products are available from Tuesday in about 17 countries at a price of 35 dollars each (39 euros in France).
These different ads obviously have not convinced everyone. For the analyst Werner Goertz Gartner, quoted by AFP, outside the pixel C, “everything else is a little catch up. I was expecting a little more fuss” …
