Exclusive features of Nougat for Pixels

Before starting I am very sorry to give this information to you very late but it is important to give you this info....

Google recently unveiled its new Pixel devices which will replace the Nexus smartphones. A lot more than just the name has changed with the new devices, with Google presenting them as their very own phones.

 So, it is no surprise that Google is giving these devices a number of features that are exclusive to its Pixel series that will not feature on other phones that get the Android Nougat update. The company has decided to focus on the premium phone segment that has been dominated by companies like Apple and Samsung in the past few years.


Firstly, we again read about Google Pixel in short.
