It seems straightforward to me:
* Google has not been able to put together the new features that would justify this flagship cost
* Because they cannot, they should instead focus on their strengths which are simplicity, all around quality, and affordability (e.g. the $349 4a)
- cmroanirgo 6y agoApparently it's also without a headphone port, which is a deal breaker for me.
- davidandgoliath 6y agoWhile I agree, you should definitely grab yourself a set of Jabra 65-85t bluetooth headphones and transition to the future :)
- TheCapn 6y agoThanks for taking my word soup and putting into a way more concise comment. I loved Nexus (and the Pixel 1) because I'm getting them straight from Google without contract to my wireless provider and without their additional bloat software. I like getting updates direct from the source in a timely manner and I figure they want their brand on quality product. At this point it feels like they're using their brand to justify overcharging on something which is hardly better than a lot of the market competition. Its a fine proposition if they're the clear winner in all things Android but they really aren't anymore, why keep pretending and just go back to that niche of: Quality, Simple, Affordable?
- skybrian 6y agoBut don't they have that covered? The 4a looks pretty good. I'm not particularly concerned about the Pixel 5's price since I assume there will be a 5a next year. People who care about 5G might buy it, but you don't have to.
- jartelt 6y agoThis isn't a flagship cost. It is $700 for the Pixel 5 vs. $1,000+ for an iPhone.
