The assistance is quite similar to Siri, but due to it being powered by Google’s search engine, Google assistance will be able to answers in a more elaborately and handle more complex tasks. You can activate by saying “OK Google” or by just pressing and holding the home button.
Pixel and Pixel XL have a 5 inch and 5.5 inch touchscreen respectively. Pixel has a slightly higher resolution as compared to Pixel XL, but with a marginal difference. The rear camera in both the phones get a DXOMark rating of 89, which is the highest any phone has ever got. They even beat Apple’s iPhone 7 which got a score of 86.
