Irelevant for Pixel 5 (which was more of a midrange phone compared to the rest of Pixels), but relevant for Pixel 3 and 4 at least.
There were preorders for Pixel 3, I know because I preordered it.
- hocuspocus 5y agoYou're right, I checked, there were pre-orders, which made zero sense given there was no promotional offer of any kind and very little demand then. Anyway the Pixel 3 and 4 were pretty big flops. Pricey and uninteresting devices, with abysmal battery life for the non-XL variants. I remember third party sellers fire-selling their stock of Pixel 3s during summer 2019. The 5 and the 6 are priced a lot more reasonably, Google probably doesn't need to do anything to sell their current stock, so if you believe you'll get better than $200 headphones, good luck with that.
- krzyk 5y agoPixel 3 and 4 were great devices, and 4 is one of its kind because it has Face Unlock. And has better CPU then 5, which was more mid range phone. If Google ads $200 headphones, it means they are afraid they won't be able to sell a lot of phones. I wanted to buy a second Pixel 4, year after release, there was no such option it was sold out. I had non-XL variants (I have normal hands, XL are for giants) and I don't complain about battery, but I'm always near places where I can charge my phone. At work I just put it on Pixel Stand.
