Dialer Android app - PixelPhone Review
Read the review of PixelPhone Android app - an app that seeks to improve your Dialer and Contact management experience on your smartphone. Check out how was our experience while we tested this app on our smartphone.
PixelPhone Pro is an Android app that seeks to replace your default Phone and Contacts app by offering you a faster interface, different themes, spam blocking, dual-SIM support and other advanced features. Presently each Android phone and each Android version has basic subtleties which you might, might not want in your Phone and Contact app. It is not that PixelPhone Pro is an essential app that removes these subtle differences neither it offers anything new but it offers you what you would definitely want Google to provide by default in their Android builds for the Phone app.
PixelPhone was originally developed by some Russian developers but was later acquired by Felink Technology and with their more experienced and professional team, the app has achieved much wider acceptance and popularity with its improved and refined features. In fact, in celebration of this success, the developers have released a free version of the app which offers all the functionalities of the PixelPhone Pro version. You can download the free version from here: PixelPhone (Free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixelrush.xphonefree. Without further ado, let us look at the features of this app in detail.
First of all, you need to download the app from the above link. Once it is installed you should see three different icons for Phone, Favorites and Contact which are different in look from the default icons that are present by default. Opening the Phone app will quickly launch the Dial Pad for you along with the Call History. Once you press any of the buttons the log history quickly vanishes. Similarly, when you press on the Contact icon you are given your contact list where you can search for the contact you want along with other Contact management tools.Main Features

If you have used themes or skins and similar apps you would already be aware of these features. These features are not new for Android users and that's actually a good part that you don't have to learn anything new to start using this app. And once you start using this app and get bored by the looks you can even download a new theme for the app from Play Store to give it a new feel or just to match it to your own Android phone theme.
Moving on, there are a lot of settings in the Preference menu that allow you to tweak the application to your liking. There are just too many options hidden in this menu to make sure that if you have a nerd streak, it is easily sated by the app and for the common user the default settings work just fine by offering the main features.What's in pipeline

PixelPhone Pro holds within itself a lot of features that you help you make your dialer pad just that way you want it to be. Use the advanced options hidden within the Preferences menu or use the major basic features to customize the app as you want to. The features of this app are not new but it provides the famous features of different Dialer and Contacts management based apps at one place with a lot of new features and plug-ins.
