Is google Mad ?
1. No wireless charging.
2. No headphone jack
3. Bland UI.
4. Mediocre quality screens
5. Only 2 years of software update

Now apple gives
1. Good UI software
2. Wireless charging
3. 5-6 years software update.

Why should one buy google shit ?

If I want a camera, why would I buy a device with all these problems and only camera is good.
Why not buy a sony digicam ? Or buy Note 8 or Apple phones... Iphone8 or Iphone 8Plus...

        poor move.

        only a few will buy google. Most people in 3rd world countries if they can afford a pixel phone or a high end android, they rather go for iphone.

              rubbish phone with rubbish hardware.

              they make fun of crapple for removing the headphone jack and then they did the same with this piece of crap.now they open a google store selling ipixels jus like how crapple does.

              they should have just hired the chief marketing officer from crapple and make him ceo instead of the douche they have right now.

                Dilmeet, 27 Dec 2017God knows what made Google think that they will be able to ... moreWhat does Google need to do, in your opinion, to meet your expectations. They're already winning in camera and software. Apple has stock all day all night everyday and yet stock Android gets stick.

                  I would rather buy a brick than Pixel phone.

                  Overpriced, full of bugs and issues, no features, crappy built material and crappy hardware with exception of camera.

                  Not to mention that it looks ugly as hell too.

                      Good phone, great camera but worst manufacturing many factory defects i experienced. Anyway the service person visited was good but u cant get connected to the google support (for a whole day they didn't respond to me) by using support and tips option within the phone.

                        they're not waterproof, useless phones in a country with MONSOONS

                          Oh for God's sake, price isn't the problem, it never was, those who are looking for an Android alternative of iPhone will buy a Pixel eyes closed, but there is no proper after sales support for this phone in India, without after sales a phone is meaningless, so people rather buy Apple and Samsung and alike in this country, as they should anyway.

                          The OnePlus or other crappy garbage Chinese OEM will remain here, because Indians love to buy cheap crap, Pixel's target audience is never them anyway.

                            Yea no. It's a fact that Indians are crazy for good budget phones (and feature phones), not forphones priced like iPhones plagued with issues. They should either make a cheaper Pixel (call it Pixel L) or sell it at a subsidized price with ads popping up as notifications. These are the only way it will get sold there.

                              Great camera, terrible terrible screen. I've tried all three color profiles with varying "night mode" strength on my Pixel 2 XL and still couldn't get the screen to display 6500K white correctly. It is always way off. Buying a HTC U11+ and load Google Camera on it because that phone is far superior.

                                  Reduce the unrealistic price in India market, sales will improve automatically. also, get dual sim slot.

                                    Make a phone that works and lower the price! That's the only way you will get sales!

                                      AnonD-80334, 27 Dec 2017Wonder how manufacturers don't realize the market sensitivi... moreGoogle might have seen the crowd at any Apple store and hence thought this idea. It's time they realize that it's the price and it's worth that we look here.

                                        How about making the Pixel less ugly and more affordable ? No need for stores to boost sales then.
