I always assumed google's hardware stuff was basically a reference implementation. When traditional manufacturers 'get it' google steps aside.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoThis was definitely meant to be the case in the Nexus era, but the Pixels are heavily marketed widely to consumers, and are given features that are withheld from OEMs for a while. Especially with their push to branded accessories like the Pixel Buds and the like, I'm pretty sure the Pixel line is supposed to be their iPhone, a mainstream, consumer-friendly brand.
