I thought the best use of a Google phone line was as a baseline reference device. The Nexus 5 is a great example. It had good specs (size/weight, screen, speed)

I thought the best use of a Google phone line was as a baseline reference device. The Nexus 5 is a great example. It had good specs (size/weight, screen, speed) and importantly price without any bloat. That saying about premature scaling "You're not Google." seems to apply to design execution as well "Google, you're not Apple."
