> It doesn't seem premium Android phones have something spectacular to differentiate. Sure, you can spice up the camera, make the body more glossy, and add a beautiful screen.
... you so realize that your hot take is the minority opinion, right? The vast majority of customers consistently choose phones based on hardware features.
> But the software is just another commodity that would be available for 1/3rd the price. That's why Google Pixel would always feel exorbitant even when the price is almost close to Apple iPhone.
Google's phones always launch with the cutting edge version of Android and receives consistent updates. Isn't that the experience exclusivity you're clamoring for?
- pawadu 9y agoTo add to that: Samsung high-end phones cost as much as iphones these days (if not more in some countries) and they seem to be doing great. Also, what the hell does "the exclusivity of its experience that can only came at a price" mean? What is the cost of manufacturing the latest iphone? Or do you mean it feels exclusive because I paid a lot??
