Just remember: you are the product to Google.
Google is terrible at hardware and has largely failed at it.
None of these products matter, particularly to Apple. They hardly matter to the Android world.

Let me put this into a bit better perspective for you.
In the UK, the XR starts at £749, if you have an old iPhone that’s valid then you can get up to £250 off so making the XR £499.
The new Pixel 3A starts from £399 without a trade in, so £100 less then an XR!
Or the bigger 3A starts from £469 without a trade in.
So if you only have had an Android phone and are looking to upgrade, the new Pixel 3A is hands down an utter bargain next to an iPhone XR, Apple’s cheapest iPhone from 2018. However you need to remember what the XR has, even if it does lack an OLED cough Apple cough..
The two phones aren’t comparable hardware wise, water resistant and wireless charging etc, but it will be interesting to see performance comparisons between the two.
alot of mad Iphone XR in this thread........ Hopefully this year upgrade you guys could get a 1080P display....Its almost 2020......
No, it would would create a terrible user experience for those who switched to Chromium (a huge battery hog - see the macOS experience as an example), and google assistant (as the wake phrase is implemented in one of the low power devices and likely could only be replicated by tasking a higher power programable core to be on all the time. It would also lose all the iOS/macOS/Apple Services integration. Over all, a net lose for most users and would waste Apple resources better spent on enhancing the devices for people who like this ecosystem.
That’s some serious Mis Universe speech right there.
With trade it it’s £449 but without trade in it’s £749. The 3a starts at £399 and the bigger one is £469.
The 3a is significantly cheaper. I didn’t say it’s better but it’s a lot cheaper.
Doesn’t Android have some sort of spelling and/or grammar check these days? Or is that coming next Google IO?
The iPhone 7 would be significantly faster than a Pixel with the 670 Snapdragon. While the multi-core results for the 670 are close to the A10 in the iPhone 7, the single core score is only about 50% as fast. So the majority of tasks you do the iPhone 7 will be significantly faster. In the best-case scenario with a highly optimized App that can utilize all cores at once, the 670 could ALMOST catch up to the A10.
The XR isn't a fair comparison as it would absolutely mop the floor with the Pixel. It's also a lot more money.
wow. i'm not blown away. don't get me wrong. there's a lot of somewhat useful stuff but it's not leading edge by any means. you guys complaining about low cost. when has apple ever produced anything low cost. that's never been their market nor do i want it to be.
agree with the poster that noted siri is far behind. it is. alexa works better than all of them right now.

The SPEED of Google Assistant could seriously be the final tipping point for switching to Android. Siri is such a slow, cumbersome, too often ignorant and incapable assistant. Really getting sick of being stuck with a lesser OS (and hardware).
You call this innovation? If you’re unhappy with apple go try google....
This is going to squash cheaper end Android phones, assuming there is no major malfunctions, extremely weak parts, it’s not exploding etc.
IMHO Pixel phones biggest downside is it’s availability- officially it is available only in a few countries. In my case, if I wanted to buy it, I could only get it from eBay, geez, maybe it would not even work in my region, if brand new, I don’t know.
So, what kind of gigantic sales are they expecting...
Yes Google is sooo happy to help you. As long as you share everything with them so they call sell ads and monetize your life. These 'smart speakers' are just 'spy' speakers. If you let your neighbor read everything you write, go through your trash, give them your browser history, tell they what you listen to and watch - they'd also love o help you...
I just think that if we had something like an universal translator like they have in Star Trek we would probably be a little less afraid of each other. The unknown is one of the things fueling fear and hate.
Did you even watch it? It makes Apple look like an ancient old company,
not years, but decades behind. It's truly embarrassing.
"Nothing really interesting"? A crazy statement...
Rather than make excuses for its lack of data services (ala Apple), Google is making your data work for you.
Yup, much cheaper than an Xr, not much cheaper than an iPhone 7. The 3a has a better display, but lacks in other ways, hence I would like to see a performance comparison.
Siri can’t even tell me what time the sun will set a month from now. Let’s face it, Siri can do certain things well but when it comes to information nothing beats googles knowledge graph.
Umm people that speak the same language have the biggest problem with peace around the world.
