I'm not sure people understand quite the level of investment Apple puts into 1) quality-control and 2) supply-chain management. These take years to build up and maintain. HTC at least has long had issues. A few years ago, my much-anticipated HTC One was a huge disappointment when the camera went purple. I'm curious to know what their defect rate on the Pixel 2 is (not that there's any chance of that ever being public)

Interestingly, the htc-made pixel seems to be the better of the two. The defect-ridden phone is the LG one (at least so far)

  It was the same with Nexus 5x (LG made) and Nexus 6p (HTC made). Nexus 5x was a disaster.

    While my 5x never suffered the dreaded bootloop, I will never buy another LG phone. In the time I used it, Google replaced it 3 times. And hang out on the 5x subreddit, it's filled with unhappy people.

      Yes. I owned the Nexus 5x. Imho it was a horrible phone (especially compared to Nexus 5)

    Nexus 6P was made by Huawei, which in my opinion accounts for its quality.

      Was it the Nexus 6 which was made by HTC then?

        No, that was a Motorola. The Nexus 9 (tablet) was the only htc-made Nexus. And it was a piece of garbage. The first-gen pixel phones were both htc-made through, and seemed to be well made.

Pixel 2 XL is made by LG and not HTC.

  I meant hardware. I agree that their software quality is sub-par.
