Google's Pixel Phones To Be Waterproof? [REPORT]

The new Pixel and Pixel XL phones from Google are gadgets that contain capable, cutting edge equipment. Inside they have the most recent, fastest processors that exist, pleasant OLED screens, and plentiful stockpiling (128GB) and RAM (4GB). 

And yes, as Google was extremely upbeat to call attention to the fact that they've both got 3.5mm headphone jacks. But one element that is gotten to be table stakes for premium smartphones in 2016 is missing totally from Google's Pixels: water resistance

Apple's iPhone 7 and Samsung's two leaders - the Galaxy S7 and Note 7 - are worked to withstand water in various situations. They'll survive unanticipated swims in a pool or toilet, and you can utilize them in a rainstorm without reconsidering. 

That is an immense comfort for your average buyer. Lenovo's Moto phones aren't completely water resistant, but they're in any case worked to survive mischances because of a nano-covering that shields their hardware from sprinkles and spills. Superior to nothing is anything. 

But Google's Pixel phones, which go in cost amongst $649 and $869, aren't water resistant by any stretch of the imagination. In earlier years, the oversight was maybe understandable since Nexus phones didn't cost as much. But with the price tag that Google Pixel comes with, is it really a satisfying news? 

Perhaps not - certainly not.

What could be the reason for forgetting something that is so helpful in ordinary, genuine circumstances? Like sitting in the bathroom, scrolling through an article, and you find your phone gone in a splash!

What made the Pixel group rule against this? Outlining your phone around a unibody metal structure doesn't require sacrificing water resistance; simply take a gander at the iPhone 7. Most likely Google and its equipment accomplice HTC could've used glues and seals to keep water out.
