AnonD-234961, 09 Oct 2016Can anyone tell me what was the actual effort put by Google... moreLook people are basically lazy, what you have to factor into this is cost

So I see teenagers year 8? with iPhones and I wonder are the on contract or payg
You can bet when in a phone shop seeing all the latest models, I bet they don't have a clue.

The Edge design is simply the best looking phone on the planet, but again NOT for me.

So here is point if I was gifted a brand new S7, I would sell it and buy the phone I liked (the "ugly" runner-up) my deal breaker is removable battery.

So that aside the all in all the Pixel will hit the right spot and I doubt that the 32Gb memory won't be an issue as Google photos is unlimited.
I gave 7Gb of music and that is lot, E.g. 10Gb apps still allows for 20Gb Music / Video an I can't think of a reason to add another 13Gb of media due to the shear amount I have already

Only when you compare do you realise the the flagship phone is not the absolute best and it us hard to have the best specs despite the late entry.

This is like warm as I see it, I like what else it offers, then it falls short as non removable battery, but clearly Edge owners don't care, so a person not put off could be deciding between the iPhone 7(why?) Edge or Pixel

    Can anyone tell me what was the actual effort put by Google into this product ? There is none. This is a run-of-the-mill phone with no outstanding features. They didn't put any effort whatsoever into this phone. It will sell worse than the Nexus, because Google does not understand product differentiation. It's not software, stupid ! Because every manufacturer has access to the same Android software, with minor things like faster updates and small new features only mattering to very few customers.

      Lets see how battery Life goes and they should change the price of the base model 549 and up

        The best and most beautiful phone on the Planet is Note7. Period.
        All reviewers and owners confirmed that. Nothing is even close.
        That's why after the defective battery supply issue, US never give up, to use any dirty tricks and scams to beat Note7 when is on its knees.
        Pixel is DOA , and iCrap7 is a joke, but they can sell some , as long as Note7 is under wild attack.

              It is hot that even make my wallet on fire and my money become smoke ..loool...

              Well ok I think it is a good phone but come on with that price samsung s7 and 7 edge Gives better option and it also makes iphone 7 suddenly not expensive (relative toward pixel price). But I admit I wanna try pixel so maybe if it is available in my country I might purchase it.

                      So as a s7edge user I will clearify a few things..
                      TouchWiz has changed a lot it's doesn't slows down the mobile infact my phone hasn't lagged in 8 months,and updates are not that much of a concern as our mobile wont stop working if we dont get update on time, and yeah its body is fragile but then again its in hand feel is great and about that selfie crap you were talking about, its optional to turn that option on, Cheers.

                        They should make a new poll: Galaxy Note 7 - Still hot or not?

                        Option 1: Yes - you should stop using immediately and change your device.

                        Option 2: No - You should keep monitoring and report back in an hour. We want to make sure your house didn't burn down.

                                [deleted post]This site also has not reported the other two "safe" Note 7 explosions this week. The third one Samsung even tried to cover up. Is that also part of your imaginary conspiracy?

                                But, go ahead and buy a Note 7. Time and again, Samsung has shown what a sleazy company they are.

                                  54% voted 'No'. I'm with them. As long as Google pricing these phones like this & teaming with companies like 'verizon'. They'll get negative vote from me.

                                    I went with not - it has too many flaws compared to competitors

                                    - No Micro SD card
                                    - No Removable Battery
                                    - Isn't waterproofed fully
                                    - Big Bezels
                                    - High Price

                                      Even honor 8 looks way way better than this expensive piece of bezels.

                                        OnePlus 3 is a better option in almost every way.
