The original Google Pixel duo is now $100 cheaper

-
It is easy to get caught up in the excitement fueled by Google's latest Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, but they don't come cheap. Plus, there is also the whole availability issue associated with Pixel phones. This means that even if you have the money to put down, you might just have to wait in line for one.



So this might actually be a good opportunity to pick up one of the original Pixel pair. Google has already slashed the price of the regular Pixel down to $549 for a 32GB unit. The 5.5-inch Pixel XL starts at $670. Upgrading to 128GB on either is $100 extra. There are trade-in and financing options available straight from Google as well.


So, the large storage Google Pixel XL will set you back $770 - not cheap, by any means, but you are still getting one of the most impressive camera phones of 2016. Google's HDR+ Auto is still an industry-leading algorithm, which makes great use of the Pixel XL's 12.3 MP, f/2.0 camera.

And you can be sure that Google will be bringing future software improvements to its last generation hardware as well. That means up to date Android experience. Plus, a 5 or 5.5-inch AMOLED display, backed up by a Snapdragon 821 and 4GB of RAM is a potent combination that should stay relevant for quite some time.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
