![]() ![]() I think the Pixel 2 and 5 were near perfect devices for their time (a lot of people still prefer the 5). ![]() I don't really agree with your assessment of troubled Pixel phones. So till recently they didn't really want to come out with a 'killer phone.' But now that the Android market is being reduced to just Samsung, who is trying to create their own ecosystem (badly), they are trying harder. Google is an advertising company so on one level Android is an injection mechanism for ads using their proprietary core libraries (on another level, Google hires a lot of talented people who care about genuinely good things, compared to walled garden approaches for example, but it's all subject to the advertising mandate). My theory which LesDeals went into, is till now especially they don't really want to come out with the perfect handset, the just want to experiment and tweak the market and let other companies carry the torch. This leads to them getting sub-optimal hardware (Pixel 6 modem and fingerprint scanner Pixel 5 midrange SOC Pixel 4 garbage battery life Pixel 3 bathtub notch and bad screen Pixel 2's comically large bezels), that ultimately cripples them in the market.īasically, Samsung/Apple get the A-tier hardware, and Google is left with the B-tier scraps. Pixels barely sell, so they can't demand top-tier hardware at competitive prices in the same way that Apple, Samsung, or the Chinese manufacturers can. At their core, they're an advertising company and (kind of) a software company. I think one of the issues is that Google doesn't have seemingly endless resources. ![]()
