>Pixel phones at Google Store all SOLD OUT Just shows that

/g/ knows plenty. The phone is an average piece of hardware sold at an above average price.

I still bought one. I think that Google is right in saying that AI is the next major step in computing in the mainstream and I'm excited to start using it.

Come at me, Siri.

>>56969882

This phone is the only phone that will continue to receive stock android updates.

For that alone it is worth the additional 50% markup.

/g/ is always wrong.

>>56969976
Last year's Nexus phones will get 7.1 and possibly 8.0. Everything before that will absolutely be abandoned, yes. But that's natural for Google already.

No, it shows that people outside of /g/ don't know anything.

sad part is you have to keep saying that for 4 years before it becomes true
how will the pixel look in terms of hardware in 4 years?

Will these phones provide even a shred of privacy? I feel like I might as well be giving all of my daily information to google if I bought this.

>>56969836
Idiot, is only a marketing trick, 1- to hide the fiasco, and 2- fool consumers into buying (muh so much sold) crap

>>56970196

If you're using Google apps, you've already lost your privacy. You might as well make use of the convenience they are offering.

Was talking to an iphone user, says they want to switch to Pixel. I don't know why, does shilling the camera that hard really work? It's not a good price and doesn't look very good.

Is there any other phone that has better specs than the Pixel though?

>>56970282

9mm is enough

>>56970014
Besides security reasons is there really a need to jump from 5.1.1?? My phone does what it needs to just fine.. Why do I need to update to 7.noggit. Is android 5.1.1 even compromised security wise?

>>56970297
iPhone 7/7+

>>56970307
I wouldn't say there's a "need," you're just missing out on experience and convenience. Which is the basis for owning a smartphone in the first place.

But if you're content with your device, no, there's no real reason to upgrade it.

>>56970313
One that isn't Apple.

I'll add something else in here: the Pixel is the only good small phone on the market. The iPhone was previously the only flagship choice with no compromise.

>>56970307

It might make you happier for the first few days.

>>56970348

I'm not sure how many people on /g/ have small hands, but huge phones suck for people with small hands.

>>56970348
This is so damn true. I wish more companies would make 5.1/5.2 inch smartphones again. Fucking phablet phones everywhere I look now. No decent 5inch options at all :(

>>56970379
I wouldn't say I have small hands myself, but I do miss the ease of functionality and grip of a smaller phone. Given the choice, a 4.5" to 5" phone just feels right to me.

I'll definitely miss the battery in my 6P, though.

>>56970348
what about sony z compacts

>>56969882
Did Google introduce any AI improvements that won't be added to their general products that I can already use on my phone?

>>56969976
What? They're not going to maintain Android for other phones anymore?

>>56970418
They're alright, but don't receive the software support that they should. Definitely decent, but they come with their own set of compromises.
>>56970421
Absolutely not, no. I assume they'll be exclusive for a short time. The Pixel will only have the advantage of being better supported (likely for longer).

any options for maps without the google botnet on my phone? Wish there was an alternative to gmaps.

>>56970421

A phone is only supported by Google for 3 years, right?

>>56970452
2 years of major updates, 3 years of security updates.

>>56970297

>>56970450

It won't be as fast or convenient, and they know it.

>>56970385
Who is this semen demon?

>>56970297

If I have a phone with a Snapdragon 820 and 2-4GB RAM for 60% of the cost of the Pixel, does it matter?

>>56970528
Not at all. You're missing out on software, for a time. That's it.

I find it that most people still just use their phones for texting and Facebook. They're probably entertained with new features for a week, then forget about them.

Still haven't heard of anyone being hacked, without being a total retard with their phone.

>>56970935
Right, the exploits mentioned on tech blogs are not necessarily a danger to you.

>>56970965
Yeah but most exploits stagefright as an example only affect reaaallly old android variations. Is there any exploits that affect 5.0 or 5.1?!

The retarded code monkey in charge of design doesn't realize that you need a signature look to have a successful brand since consumers treat their smarthsits primary as fashion accessories.
With all their money and resources they can't afford to even design a phone that doesn't blatantly rip off other designs all while looking like complete shit

>>56972331
Sony has a unique design and they have fuck all sales.
The game is to advertise and get indians to shill the fuck of your device and it worked wonders for Samsung and now Google.

>This phone is the only phone that will continue to receive stock android updates.
1. that depends where you got it. if it's from verizon it seems unlikely that you get fast updates. [1]
2. it has a two year old 3.18 linux kernel for which upstream support will end soon.
google maintaining their own kernels for older nexus was already shit with fixing critical security issues eons later. just the latest October patch brought to you some security fixes for an issue fixed in March for upstream [2]. that makes those "security updates" questionable.

wtf opening my veins to fly to Jobs-sama.

>>56972385
google didn't release any numbers and those 4 millions are an estimate sale figure for all of 2016 from some random analyst.
that number is pretty far away from iPhone sale numbers (iPhones sell like ~13 million on launch weekend alone) and Pixel will prolly steal sales from other Android flagships (since it's one of the best Androids), but won't motivate many to switch from the iPhone.

>>56972467
>Pixel will probably steal sales from other Android flagships
So that's why the indian shills are going overdrive with hating on the Pixel.

>>56972467
You know what might motivate people to switch? The lack of a headphone jack on the iPhonie.

With the pixel phones Google let themselves be cucked by carriers and spent more on marketing. It's really that simple.

>>56972574
>implying iTards are smart enough to give a shit
I prefer iToddlers to stay on their locked down phones rather than poisoning the Android userbase with braindead retards.

I doubt the Pixel will steal sales from iPhone users since it's ugly as fuck and iPhones are fashion accessories

>>56972174
>what is artificially low supply

Isn't that what Apple did? For the first time they're not releasing sales figures.

>- No AOSP source code drop before 7.1 release, which, if dev preview is late 2016, won't happen before mid-Q1 2017
>- No AOSP drop for 7.1 before Q1 2017 : No custom ROMs for Pixel until 2017!

w/o source it will be hard to get any kind of root even if the bootloader is unlockable.

for comparison all Samsung phones have odin, which is basically an unlocked bootloader and you can flash stuff but if knox isn't booting it that's not helpful.

sales figures are voluntary and Apple was one of the few that shared them.
profit warning is mandatory.

The /g/ mindset is that software is worth nothing and everything is trying to steal your information.

>>56970307
Everything behind 7.0 is compromised but it's hard to get infected. Almost every person gets who gets infected installed a pirated app. Some people get infected by shitty apps in the Play Store because Google has no quality control.

>no fixed rules. court decides if you made yourself liable by not disclosing it back then.
So as long as Apple is still looking like they will make a profit they don't need to do anything?

That's fine then. They can sell less phones and still make a profit, so they don't have to warn people.

I'm on project fi and can preorder the pixel. Currently, I'm on the Nexus 6 and have been using it for 3 yrs. Should I stick with it for another year and wait until the Pixel drops, get a 6P and wait until the Pixel drops, or just preorder the Pixel?

Nope. They clarified. Google is gonna do it the Apple way - make everyone wait until everyone can get it at the same time.

I keep going back and forth on pulling the trigger on this thing. I mean, I'm a Google fan boy. Pure android optimized with solid hardware and an iPhone tier camera is all I've ever wanted.

My 5X camera is decent but the lack of OIS/EIS and horribly optimized laggy software are a big draw back.

But every time I load up the cart.. dat price... I just can't do it.

Sitting comfy with my LG G Stylo. $250 new, slapped in a class 10 128GB microSD card. Snapdragon 410 and 2GB ram is more than enough for me. Seeing these constant threads of people chasing the latest and greatest flagship when they come out every 6 months is amusing. We all know that without fail, there will be some stupid annoyance or broken soft/hardware in the flagship. All the people who spent $900+ and weeks waiting because the phone was out of stock will be moaning. Then there will be the inevitable post purchase regret threads. Like clock work.

What does everyone see in constantly upgrading? The only things I'd want are a finger scanner and better camera but even then, those are wants, not needs. Not condescending, but curious what does /g/ do with their device that requires a Snapdragon 820/821 and 4-6GB ram? Why is it the norm now for people to be buying, or even worse, financing a $700+ phone?

I was making the move to T-Mobile and I had to buy a phone as part of the agreement for them to buy me out of my absolute shit tier Sprint contract (when those were still a thing). T-Mobile paid my $380 cancelation fee. I spent $250 on my phone. Not saying my phone was an absolute steal by any means. But a far cry from the $700 phones you see people going for all the time. Even worse when the parents are buying their 12 year old said phone. Why?

These are the same people you always hear complaining about bills or lack of funds to do XYZ. At least this is how it is at my work place and when I was still in college before getting my degree.

My phone before this was an LG L90 for $90. Snapdragon 210. 512MB ram. Only upgraded it because no LTE.

So they sold 20,000 phones, who gives a fuck.

Holy shit, the Pajeets were right. Google Pixel is really the best phone.

Going to wait until the Pixel 2.

If you're using a phone or internet you already have privacy loss.

>They clarified.
Google didn't
>Google is gonna do it the Apple way - make everyone wait until everyone can get it at the same time.
Apple doesn't.
iPhones yearly update with a new iOS version in September was never postponed.
Google is clearly not doing that with bringing 7.1 first to the Pixel phones on October 20 and older devices get it next year with an dev preview in this year.

Also Apple supports iPhones like 5 years with OS updates, Google does it for 2 years and 1 year more for security updates.

Abadoning android phones is not a new thing mate

Google made a fucking expensive, ultrabig bezel ugly as shit, no sd slot, no water resistent phone but retards still flipping out about the jack shitlike

when notes were blowing up all the androretards said it doesnt matter that they blow up because apple removed the 3.5 mm


Fucking retarded userbase

I don't get why anyone would buy a Pixel for that ridiculous price. I just don't get it.

Oh believe me, I've made that modification. Problem is that the EIS on the 5x and 6p is utter garbage and practically useless.

>Google releases a high-end phone using the latest Android version
