            In what world is Pixel a better name than Nexus????

            Still, as long as the devices live up to expectations, I suppose that's all that matters....

              I don't care if it's called Pixel or Nexus as long as it brings good treats. In the end of the day all I want is a bloat free pure google experience, dual front facing speakers (downward or else really really suck really bad), a good low light camera, better RAM, AMOLED display etc etc which 6P does have them. If Google wants to follow Apples path then why whould I buy Google product!? I'll go with Apple. . If any feature goes missing which 6P already have then I'll pass on google this year. . sometime spec boom is all you can do like the 6P missed few things, Heartrate sensor, OIS, etc etc.. If Google really wants to follow Apples path then see Apple. . they always boom specs. . everything else stay the same. . Example. . they never tried front facing speaker, they never tried QHD, they never tried AMOLED, they never tried openness. . my clear thoughts are if front facing speakers goes missing then no google for me. . .

                              That's one shitty name.
                              Hope there will be a number naming system as well instead of just Pixel.
                              Can't believe Google is copying Microsoft's way of naming phones.

                                Nexus is tech-classy and remind sci-fi stuffs, that was a cool name. But rebranding can also be interesting and i think Pixel might be good follow-up.

                                Especially using XL tag instead of clumsy naming.

                                Let's see how it goes.

                                        The more i see, the more i like this design actually.
