Pixel

After pretty much all of the specs leaked online over the past few weeks, Google has now officially announced the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones, and the Pixel Watch 2 wearable.

Mid-range phones have more modest price tags while still packing many high-end features. But how do they stack up against each other? New Atlas compares the specs and features of the iPhone SE (2020), the Google Pixel 4a and the Samsung Galaxy A51.

Researchers at Cambridge University have managed to create the smallest pixels in the world, about a million times tinier than those in a phone. These new pixels could be used in huge, flexible displays that are relatively easy to manufacture and cheaper to run.

For the first time Google has launched a pair of mid-range phones – the Pixel 3a and 3a XL. These strip out a few premium features of the current flagships, the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, for a lower price. Here, New Atlas compares the specs and features of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL with the Pixel 3a and 3a XL.

We've seen a strong crop of smartphones pop up in the early part of 2017. Here's a roundup of the best recent releases – including a few from the end of 2016 – and a comprehensive comparison of their specs and features.

Phone cameras may not match DSLRs for quality, but they are rapidly improving. Building on the impressive capabilities of the Google Pixel and Nexus 6P, a software designer is looking to improve low-light performance in Android phones with an experimental app and post-production process.

Since Pixel is the first true "phone by Google," many consumers are hoping for a unified software and hardware presentation that can be missing from Android environments, but has long been an Apple mainstay. But what about specs? Here's a nuts-and-bolts comparison of the Pixel and iPhone 7.

Astronomy researchers have created a specialized camera for hunting small, Earth-like exoplanets that can be millions of times fainter than the star which they orbit, and are often lost in its glare

BitDrones are flying 3D display pixels that are designed to swarm in their thousands to produce giant, interactive graphic displays that could be used for the likes of 3D gaming, medical imaging, and molecular modelling.

Scientists in the UK have developed created a prototype device that features pixels just 30 x 30 nanometers in size. The development could lead to extremely high-resolution displays that put the pixel densities found in current displays to shame.

Pixit is a reusable rubber stamp kit that allows you to create your own design and then change it to a completely different one whenever you want.

A newly-developed codec could make pixels obsolete within five years, according to its creators.
