run on low - end hardware.

You should be having your new Google
Pixel or
Pixel XL
phone by now, or at least you have plans to get one, especially since the Google Store has already
run out of stock, but only for U.S. dwellers.
There are a few
phones out there that seriously give the
Pixel XL a
run for its money, notably the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6.
Both of these
phones are
running the Snapdragon 835 processor with 4 GB of RAM, so the
Pixel 2 XL is going to have to work a little hard to display a lot of the same things.
On Sunday, Google made its biggest extension of Google Assistant to existing devices by making the assistant available for
phones running Android Marshmallow and Nougat, continuing its spread to devices beyond Google Home and
Pixel smartphones.
Google first unveiled Assistant at Google I / O in May 2016, launched it on the Google
Pixel and
Pixel XL
phones, brought it to Google Home and then Android Wear 2.0, before it started it rolling it out to other
phones running Android.
Though Google has announced that most Android
phones running Marshmallow and above will get Google Assistant in the coming months, the G6 supports the voice - powered assistant right out of the box, just as the
Pixel and the Moto G5 Plus.
While the latest versions of Android consistently
run on higher - end
phones like the Google
Pixel, cheaper and older
phones often only
run previous versions.
A leaked screenshot appears to reveal that Google's upcoming third
Pixel 3
phone will
run Android One.
With the
Pixel phones being Google - branded, we are actually seeing Google customize the system UI of their devices with an «exclusive» theme, but given that the
Pixel is also
running Android 7.1 we also see some UI changes that will eventually arrive to all Android devices.
It has a 4.5 - inch TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280
pixels,
runs on a 1.5 GHz dual - core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (common among 4G LTE
phones), Google's Android 4.0 OS, as well as 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal flash memory for storage (only 4.7 GB are available to you).
With the speed of this update, Essential is the third
phone to
run Android 8.1 Oreo officially, behind
Pixel devices and the Nokia 8.
It's built into all the new
Pixel phones, but is dormant on devices
running stock 8.0.
Software and Bloatware: If you want a
phone that
runs pure Android with no embellishments, you need to buy a
Pixel phone.
Google's new
Pixel and
Pixel XL
phones pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and 4 GB of RAM as well as
running a FHD (1080p) screen on the
Pixel and a QHD (2K) screen on the
Pixel XL.
The other major advantage the Google
Pixel 2 has over other
phones is that it will receive the longest -
running and earliest software upgrades as they come available for the Android platform.
Since the
Pixel runs the latest version of Android, the Xposed Framework is not supported if you keep your
phone up to date.
While most Android devices aren't even
running Android 8.0, we expect the
Pixel 3 to be among the first to
run Android P. Google hasn't unveiled a specific 9.0 release date for any
phones, but it would make sense that its own devices would get it first, as evidenced by only
Pixel devices having access to the Android P preview.
Additionally, for anyone with a speedy
phone running the Snapdragon 835 found in many of the best Android
phones, or even the Snapdragon 821 powering the Google
Pixel and LG G6, the gains provided by OnePlus 6 might not be appreciable enough to justify the purchase.
The company's first - generation
Pixel smartphones were adored by diehard Android fans, who were ecstatic to finally have the opportunity to get a premium flagship
phone running stock Android.
The latest version of
Pixel launcher can be installed on almost any android
phone running marshmallow or higher, it may also work on
phones with Android Lollipop, but we haven't tested it yet.

running Pixel 2
phones in mid-October and mid-November, but don't expect Oreo's market share to skyrocket anytime soon.
