Google doesn’t want to run local AI. It channels everything through the google Plex on purpose.
So while pixel phones may be possible, they don’t want to.
Take image processing for example. iPhones will tag faces and create theme sets all locally. Google could too, but they don’t. They send every picture to their cloud to tag and annotate.
