We all know hardware isn't a selling point for them but software. If they really wanted to go into hardware then they have to take it slow, there's alot of competition out there and Google is way below them.

Again pricing the pixel5 at 7oo.oo+ tax is too much for a mid-range processer? Should have been 550.00 max! Then they would have sold ⛵ loads at that price.

Given that the 4a only came out towards the end of September, if they sell 3 million of the 4a, 4a+ and 5 that is actually a much increased run rate compared to 2019.
Google cannot afford to sell so many of its phones that it becomes a threat to the main Android vendors. Not making an 865 is actually a very wise move. It is not competing with the main money earners for Samsung and the like.

Hey Google. Nobody cares. Why don't you just release a reasonably priced phone with a flagship chipset, like you did in the Nexus days. Bring back front facing stereo speakers. And put a 3.5 mm jack in your flagship phone. Give people basic functionality that they want, not gimmicks.

I think the 4a will outsell all the pixels this year. Why? The price of course & what's offered. In my humble opinion I think this phone just might qualify for phone of the year? You will not find a better 📷 at this price. Plus it's 🌃 night sight actually competes with the top 🐕 ies, bar none!

Not launching a 1000 dollar phone might be good idea considering the tanking economy, job losses and people generally spending less...

This is partly due to COVID-19, and partly due to the fact that sales are down globally. Also, people don't particularly turn to google, for their model's, in the same way they do other companies like apple and samsung. Having said that, it seems possible that google may be abled to bring their model's to the realm of profitability at some point

Due to the popularity of Lightroom mobile. Photography enthusiasts (people who use photo editing apps at least once a week) actually highlight the small size of the camera sensor on the Pixel. And they found that the hardware limitations on the Pixel prevented them from achieving the same feats that could be done when they were using a Chinese phone at the same price.

stock android really is lacking, sad fact but true many features only come with TECNO, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo & other brands which add extra stuff into their software this plain OS is not gonna be enough to sell more devices... :I

Is just a phone in which Google tests their own apps after stealing info from others. That's why they are investigated along with Apple.

Because they don't sell their phones in South America. They need to do that asap. I live in Brazil and if their phones were priced right here, they wouldn't have a lot of competition.
