Google Pixel is the latest flagship of Google. This phone is one of the best devices in the market. Google Pixel specs are really great like SND 821, 4GB RAM, 12MP… However, this handset still doesn’t have some features which would make itself much more awesome. Let’s have a look!

1. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

Google Pixel has just been launched recently. Immediately, this phone becomes one of the best camera phones in the market. It even surpasses iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 to become the phone having the highest DxOMark score ever – 89. iPhone 7 has the score of 86 while S7 has 88 DxOMark scores. If you don’t know, DxOMark is a reliable industry benchmark to measure and rate camera quality.

This new Google phone sports a 12MP main camera on the back with f/2.0, autofocus, and dual LED flash. This camera even has a big 1/2.3″ sensor size and 1.55 μm pixels. These features will give you the great and beautiful photos. However, there is no optical image stabilization feature on this camera. Without this feature, the photos may not be as sharp as the ones from camera phones with OIS.

2. Wireless charging

The second feature which is missed on Pixel is wireless charging. The Google handset is backed up with a 2770mAh battery. This capacity is supported with fast charging. Although supported by quick battery charging, Pixel is not equipped with wireless charging. This is kinda weird because Google Nexus 4 has it. Maybe the US giant doesn’t want their battery phone to get damage in the long-term.

3. Better Water resistance

Water resistance is one of the most wanted smartphone features recently. That’s why many brands have added this feature to their products. Sony is the first company to start this trend with many waterproof phones. Samsung, after that, also brought waterproof features to their Galaxy lineup. Apple even follows the trend with the first waterproof iPhone 7. To be fair, Google has also equipped Pixel with certification IP53. However, this level is quite underwhelming for a high-end device like Pixel, compared to other competitors.

4.  Stereo speakers

Like its siblings – Nexus 6 and 6P, Pixel was also built by HTC. Speaking about this Taiwanese company, we will remember the flagship HTC 10. This is the first phone of the brand to have stereo speakers. With the two previous Google handsets last year, HTC equipped them with this kind of speakers. However, this 2016 Google phone lacks this feature. It is a huge missed opportunity.

5. Slimmer bezels

This new Google phone is considered like an Android iPhone. It is designed by Google and runs on an OS which is created by Google. Even the look of the phone is quite similar to the first generations of iPhone. The bezels of the phone are kinda thick. If only these bezels were slimmer, Pixel would have the best of both worlds: beautiful design and strong specs.

Google Pixel: 5 features we wish it would have

Those are the 5 things we wish Google Pixel could have. The latest flagship of Google is already a strong device. However, it could be more powerful and appealing than that with those features above. Are you satisfied with what Google Pixel offers?
