To Pixel or not to Pixel, that is the question.

One thing before you go though.

You seem to state that iphone and Nexus phones are in the same league when it comes to storage but they really aren't. iphone 6s as well as iphone 7 uses NVMe storage vs Samsung's eMMC on the Nexus 6p and Galaxy S6/S7's UFS. Considering this is Samsung's controller, most likely, the Pixel will be a bit less than the internal storage speed of the Galaxy S7 if they go with Samsung again like they did with the 6p. The point is, iphone storage speed blows away any android phone's storage speed due to its NVMe storage solution. So I don't think it makes sense to say, oh Apple has it like this so Nexus can do it too when they don't even have comparable storage technologies.

FDE stands for "Full Disk Encryption" if you were wondering.

Interesting. Though, Nexus phones were not top line. They were engeering phones intended to be lower spec and lower price. Pixel is not. It will be interesting to see how its NAND memory stacks up. 

True dat. It is the reason why iphones win so frequently in speedtests vs all of its competitors. And not necessarily because of its CPU/GPU but those certainly do help once the game/app is loaded. Samsung is coming out with UFS 2.0 which is supposed to beat the iphone's NVMe storage speeds however but we will see if Pixel has it or if they will save it for the Galaxy S8 (seems more likely)
