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.

Thanks for posting this and enlightening people  It gets tiring to refute claims about Apple being cheap with the iPhone components.

You should check my previous post since you seem to like Samsung products, even if you are not a fan of voice assistants, you should know that Samsung has acquired more than Viv, the talent and the minds behind Viv will surely put to use in other areas as well.

No worries. I always feel like Galaxy and iphone devices get unwarranted hate these days. Now don't get me wrong, when the company does something stupid like the lack of a headphone jack or Note 7's exploding battery, then sure, criticize them. But both Apple and Samsung have things in them which set them apart from the rest. And it is the biggest reason (apart from marketing) why its always iphone vs Galaxy and not iphone vs (insert other phone manufacturers). Both are great devices in their respective ways and both will continue to compete with each other because they are the best (subjectively and sales wize) that the industry has to offer.

The assistant is interesting but knowing Samsung and Google, most likely the Galaxy S devices will get both. Google will try to push their assistant to as many devices as possible because that is the entire point of machine learning. It needs to learn to be effective and it can't do on Pixel devices alone. So when Android N for Galaxy S devices come around, I am sure it will get the Assistant like how it has Google Now and S Voice currently. And then when Samsung is ready to launch their assistant, Galaxy S devices will most likely have both.
