Google Pixel Phones Drive Alphabet Shares To All-Time High

The new Google-branded smartphones Pixel and Pixel XL launched with a warm welcome from fans and industry observers. Expectations were high but somehow the new handsets were able to meet them based on glowing product reviews coming from various tech sites. Alphabet Inc, Google's parent company, reported a record high achievement in shares value due to the overwhelming response of the Pixel Phones' initial introduction, a record that is expected to be broken again in the coming months as Pixel and Pixel XL finally start shipments to customers.

Alphabet Shares Value Hit An All-Time Record

Bloomberg reported that Alphabet Inc. shares' price gained 2.5 percent to close at $826.85 after reaching as high as $828, a record increase since Google's shares were publicly traded on Aug. 19, 2004. This performance was attributed to the great reviews earned by the recently unveiled Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones.

The Google Pixel Phones Overwhelming Positive Response

Reviews across different tech websites for the Pixel phones have been fairly positive. It even resulted to carriers and various retailers to announce that their initial inventories have been completely sold out. This kind of unprecedented market performance paints a positive future for the Pixel phones, which Google has vowed to produce annually.

Google Pixel Phones' Hardware And Software Combination

The post-nexus offering of Google boasts of carefully designed software and hardware combination. The base model Pixel offers a 1920 x 1080 display in smaller 5-inch screen with a density of 441 pixels per inch (ppi) and 2,700 mAh of battery power while the bigger sibling Pixel XL offers a bumped-up display of 2560 x 1440 for a higher 534 ppi and a beefed-up 3,450 mAh battery.
