nope - more likely that i'm not used to it. I've used wife's a few times and its annoying to me on the little things. Like on my Moto X I can touch anywhere to take a picture vs having to use the digital 'button' or i can zoom in/out with one finger vs needing to pinch. Quality wise - her's blows mine away. I love how you like to tout how much pixel is missing, when its only like 4 things that are questionably useful to many people. Especially, considering we've yet to be able to see how good the software actually is, such as Assistant or Duo or the actual new camera software. I was never intending to turn this into a pissing contest. Just wanted to refute your claim that it was priced more with less features. All in all, is similarly featured (+ and -) and priced the same. We should revive this discussion in December when Pixel has been out in wild for a bit. |
Thats cause the features that Pixel has will come to other devices where as the hardware features in other flagships will never come to Pixel. Heck, I can get Duo from the playstore on my phone right now. Considering how much more every other flagships offer which pixel doesn't, those 4 things are big considering the price point. Other phones that lack those are in the $400 range and even then, they have things that try to make up for those features in other wise apart from the $400 price tag. For example, the ZTE Axon 7 has dual front facing speakers, 1440p Amoled display, microsd, OIS and etc and it still costs $400. It is missing things like water-resistance, heart-rate monitor, wireless charging and a camera that is as good as the big boys. But the thing is, considering Pixel doesn't have 1440p (on the regular size), dual front facing speakers, OIS or micro-sd, one would think that it would be priced cheaper than $649. Camera + on time software updates (for 2 years) should not cost $250+. $100-$150? Sure but $250? Idk dude
And I don't understand how any of what you said refuted my claim of paying more for less... Even if Pixel's camera turns out to be better, it will only be slightly and it is still missing a whole bunch of things that other flagships have...
And yes we should.
