Disgusted, 02 Nov 2016Looks like Google has decided to adopt all of Apple's trait... moreAgree in part, price & non memory expansion, gsmarena articles has HTC building the pixel 2 and LG building the pixel 2 xl
Both HTC & LG have memory expansion and Google offering Cloud storage is the only sweetener

HTC U11 plus costs the same as the Pixel, anyone with a memory card has buying a U11+ has a pixel 2 xl at a fraction of the price

You have to note that there will be people who will charge over night no matter what, it is heat that will destroy the rechargeable cell

Think heat and bulbs, the higher the wattage, more heat

I think that the temperature is missing the decimal point ?

    Anonymous, 02 Nov 2016This detail is not influencing buyer decisions.How do you know?
    Some people don't know Pixels have Snapdragon 821 - they just want Google phone. Would it be acceptable to sell them instead Pixels with Snapdragon 200 or some Mediatek? It would be just detail not influencing their decision too.

    I think it's Note7's buyers fault - they haven't stated they want not exploding phone.

        When will manufacturers stop lying to us about specs? They should be forced to post all specs on some kind internet database, easily accesible to everyone - and including all specs variances (because they ofen got screens/cameras etc. from different vendors or have lower speed memory in lower GB models).
        PS. Look for Kingston V300 SSD - that's simply cheating.

              Isnt the maximum for microUSB around 10-12 Watts? USB-C should go as up to 100 Watts indeed. Thats a big chunk of volts to push and amps to hold xD.

                Looks like Google has decided to adopt all of Apple's traits when it decided to price their phone. They are now being as sneaky as Apple in withholding key information about their devices which could influence buyer decisions.

                  It's so minor. No drama. Even in a perfect world small things can happen to the best of us.
