Pretty insightful to compare this to Apple's recent release where they've introduced a brand-new input method, in addition to the usual spec-bump.
Meanwhile, Google is still building phones that are trying to keep up with what are essentially PC hardware specs (memory, clock speed, etc). I'm amazed they think that protrusion for the camera is cool, too.
There are obviously two very different mentalities inside these companies. How do customers get excited about buying a phone that was obsolete months ago?
- drewrv 11y agoI switched to an iPhone recently and can't wait to switch back. Already preordered the new nexus. PC hardware specs are important, my biggest complaint about the iPhone is how little RAM it has. My nexus 5 could support doing simple things like running an email app, web browser, and maps app simultaneously. My iPhone is constantly reloading stuff when I attempt this.
- lmedinas 11y agoWith the new iPhone 6s you shouldn't have this problem as they have 2GB RAM. At least i have much more issues in my Nexus 5 than with my iPad Air 2 (with 2GB RAM)

- tcdent 11y agoThe feature I was referring to is not a long press. I'm sure it was prototyped somewhere 10 years ago, but that is not the same as bringing it to market at all. Styli and pressure sensitivity on Android is a great example of what you are talking about; it literally is the same product someone came up with 10 years ago. Google has not contributed anything to make it revolutionary.
