AnonD-77322, 10 Oct 2016No SD slot
No stereo speakers
No water proof
No 6 GB r... more-->No SD slot
Just like everything else
-->No stereo speakers
Yes stereo speakers, look on the bottom edge
-->No water proof
Water resistant
-->No 6 GB ram
6 seems like a very random number. Its not even a power of 2. From 4 GB, the next logical step is to 8 GB.
-->No 4000+mah battery
Well, you could also argue that it doesn't have a 10,000Ah battery. What's your point?
-->No DAC
Not only does it DEFINITELY have MULTIPLE DACs, it also has multiple ADCs.
-->No OIS
OIS is a complete gimmick. Take it from me, my phone DOES have OIS, it does NOTHING AT ALL.
-->But huge price, go buy it, have fun with it people.
Like many that came before it.
Google ADP1 was $400 in 2008, that was a huge price at the time.
Then the next year Nexus One was $530.
The Nexus S stayed the same, at $530.
Following that was the Galaxy Nexus at $650 back in 2011.
Then there were a couple of years of "cheap" phones, the Nexus 4 and 5, both LG, were $350 and $400 respectively.
Then it went back to CRAZY prices with the Nexus 6 at $650/$700
The year after the 6 was a mediocre year with mediocre prices
But now back up to premium with premium prices -- $650/$750/$770/$870, which really isnt that far out of line compared to ADP1/NOne/NS/GNex/N6.
Maybe next year they'll make a cheaper pixel?
Or you could just go buy an apple, they cost all the way up to $970.

AnonD-2626, 11 Oct 2016Killing Nexus line for this mediocre garbage? Why couldn't ... moreBecause a lot of users think of a brand (LG, Motorola, Huawei) when you say Nexus, and like when saying LG most think as a slow phone, they now brand Google Pixel to create a new image.

Anonymous, 11 Oct 2016Which are desirable brands. Google is not a desirable brand... moreLol seems like you never had/owned a google smartphone not ever had a custom aosp rom in your phone. If you had it, you would finally realize why google is the only iphone competitor and why we need google phone against apple. Even nexus 6p puts 2016 flagships in a shame when it comes to performance speed test.

Killing Nexus line for this mediocre garbage? Why couldn't they co-exist if Google wanted in-house smartphone? All those years building the Nexus bloatware free smartphone line and they come up with this? Not okay google...

Nom Nom, 10 Oct 2016No SD slot
---> apple and samsung have tried this, so i... more-->No, 128gb is not enough, maybe for you, and microsd is swappable easy to access files.
-->yes I'm listening to music on my phones and I want great media experience, and I hate earphones, damages your hearing over time
-->not particularly but for these exorbitant prices these companies are asking, I'm a bit pretentious
-->No, 4gb ram is certainly not enough, OP3 embarrasses note 7 in speed.
-->we don't have 4000 mAh batteries because people are not demanding, they go and sleep in lines for a overpriced phone.
-->again for that price I want everything and more
-->I could give 2 craps about dx0mark, if i recall correctly it was giving HTC 10 Max score and s7 camera is clearly better
-->reply from you and people like this are the reason Apple is no1 and sells a phone where you pay 40% for the brand, why? Because you and others have no demandings, and even more, question desires, "why have that, go buy x for that" etc.

I find it funny how people say it is too expensive... It is a less than $700 phone with twice the specs of an iPhone 7 of the same price... but somehow the iPhone does not look pricey... Humans, so easy to control.

Well, with battery life specs like that, its a candidate for serious heat issues, I'm guessing, but I am optimistic. If successful, it will get some traction into the Samsung market share. Its a S4 equivalent with faster processors and higher resolution (I really loved my S4). Viewing the screen in bright sunlight will be less possible due to the absence of the "Super" in the Amoled screen. Camera is adequate, but falls short of the S6 - 16MP.

No water proof
No 6 GB r... moreNo SD slot
---> apple and samsung have tried this, so it's not new, 128 internal is enough, plus pixel offer with online storage for photos.. you can buy USB otg
No stereo speakers
---> are you listening music to your phone stereo speakers? really? buy earphone or headphone!
No water proof
---> it's IP53 which is enough for your daily activities, unless you are going to extreme places
No 6 GB ram
---> 4GB is more than enough now
No 4000+mah battery
---> give me example of premium phones comes with 4000 mah
No DAC
---> of course there's DAC inside, but only few phones got extraordinary DAC like Vivo or LG V10/20
No OIS
---> Dx0mark gives huge score points to this phone
But huge price, go buy it, have fun with it people.
---> phones with huge price not just this..
