Google announced two new smartphones recently, the Google Pixel and the Google Pixel XL. Unlike the previously launched Nexus models, these two models come with an exclusive operating system, Android 7.1 Nougat.
It comes with specific features aimed at getting maximum performance from the hardware on both devices. One of the new features is the Pixel Launcher, which is the focus of this tutorial.
Basic Things You Should Know About Pixel Launcher
Google said the Pixel Launcher would be exclusive to their new Pixel models. Therefore, the only way to install it on other smartphones is by using APK files, for which the user must have a certain level of knowledge and take particular care when using. The APK for Pixel is not endorsed by Google and was discovered by the editing team at Android Police.
The developers who provided the APK verified that the executable content is harmless and that it only contains the launcher and its resources. We have tested the APK on some of our editorial staff’s smartphones and it seems the Pixel Launcher can be used without any problems. On the other hand, given that we aren’t responsible for the file, we can’t guarantee that it will or will not work on your device.
Remember that you have to go to security settings on your Android and activate the option “Unknown sources”. Once activated, you’ll be able to download apps that can’t be found in the Play Store. Also remember, we do not recommend nor encourage the use of pirated content.
