I watched the presentation, just for curiosity and was filled with a feeling of complete indifference. We have reached the point where every phone is pretty much the same - I picked up an S7 a couple of weeks ago as my admittedly great Z5 Compact was becoming *too* compact and I needed something with a larger screen - but not humongous. And that phone is the balls, the tits, and the shit.
Fair play to Google for deciding to take control of their own products and pushing a more professional, lifestyle-orientated line - the Nexus brand folded into the realm of the Android geekhole a long time ago, with shit hardware and utterly bland software. But the Pixel is merely average - bland design, no SD card slot or hardware perks, and the same vanilla software. The prices are well fucking mental as well. Google (or Alphabet) have more money than God, so if it bombs they'll pick it up again in a couple of years under a new name.

- same vanilla software? what you on about - its pure Android (the best kind of Android) - add what you like.fadein11
- it comes with free unlimited cloud storage for pics and video including 4Kfadein11
- agree 100%, they had a chance to hit the market with something special, but it looks like last year's iphoneformed
- ^ yet with a better camera and the best version of Android. God iphone users are blind to the alternatives. give em a whirl - they are much better.fadein11
- Best is entirely subjective when it comes to Android - I think Sony's offers more while keeping the apparently beloved 'stock' feel.face_melter
- I can't get past the Roboto-infested interface. Although Apple accepted the race to the bottom with their San Francisco.raf
- I've never used Android before but space shouldn't be an issue is you use Google Play for music which is free up to 50,000 songs.CyBrainX
