Gross. After a couple years now, everyone has at least warmed up to the idea of a notch or camera cutout, but bezels? Nope. People want those to be history now (myself included).
Got a tip for us?

What are you talking about? Google has a golden goose with their ad model. That's what they are good at and what drives 90% of their revenue.
Just like how Blackberry had actual real word feedback from users of their phones and touchscreens indicating which they prefer. So they weren't making a prediction because they didn't like something.
Stop knocking on something you don't know the details of how Google is going to fully implement it. It might be good it might be bad, but don't pass judgement until you know more info.
Before Apple had released the first widely known Multi Touch screen phone, people did not like touch screens on mobile devices all that much. Same can be possibly said in the future for tihs..."before Google released air gestures, people did not like air gestures on devices all that much".
That's the dumbest thing I've read.
If Blackberry had listened to what customers actually wanted maybe their phones wouldn't have gone the way of the dinosaur. Clearly they DIDN'T listen, based on what happened.
You must have trouble comprehending. Just like how BlackBerry listened to current feedback instead of thinking of the future when the iphone was just released and were wrong. You can be wrong listening to current feedback when Google releases this air gesture feature.
It's not difficult to understand; try rereading until you do.
Shortsightedness is what have caused many big companies to fail. The same short sightedness you currently have.
BMW has this cool feature to switch tracks, change the volume, etc using air gestures. It seemed gimmicky at first but is actually much easier to use than a touch screen or knob without having to take your eyes off the road.
I understand that you believe once Apple is not releasing it, its automatically crap. So I wont argue further or reply to any of your further post on this thread.
P.S. I am not saying it is going to be great or it's going to be horrible.
Well, I think Apple did it for a reason, emphasizing those cameras. It's instantly recognizable as an iPhone 11 (pro) that way. All the other phones try to hide, so Apple does the opposite. With phones looking more or less the same from most angles, this is one of few ways Apple could differentiate itself. And the notch too, of course, has been a great talking point. So, maybe not all that pretty, but brilliant marketing choices of Apple.
Yeah like The Night Mode......

Ah, yes, the old fallback (shortsighted, trouble comprehending, if it’s not Apple it’s crap). I have a BMW X7 (actually my wife’s). All the gestures can be used with steering wheel buttons. Don’t even have to take a hand off the wheel to perform functions. You should have picked a better example.
Because Apple makes more than phones? Or they like to read about phones from Apple?

They would rather have a echo chamber.
Read my next reply. Theres a difference between wanting to read about Apple and trolling.
This complaint is like saying race cars all look the same. Yeah they do because they’re designed for the same purpose. The back looks like that because engineers decided it was an efficient way to package the cameras. Who cares anyway? All these phones look the same because they’re all mature products.
I'm a photographer and I just sync my shutter speed to the speed of the display. Easy-peasy. Everyone who does production work knows this and most YouTubers and professionals use real cameras such as the Sony a7 or a6xxx series or things such as the Red line of cinema cameras, for example.
BTW I hate it when YouTube videos are somebody recording another display with reflections all over it. I've noticed it's most often flat earthers, lol. I went down a rabbit hole with that last year because I couldn't believe so many exist and how they twist science and logic—just wanted to clarify that I'm not one of them.
Looking forward to seeing what they bring out and how they improve an already great camera
That’s a lot of hardware up top and looks pretty crowded. The Android device does look like a Star Wars droid unit.
Does it at least have a warning label on the back?
"Warning: Android OS is a data vacuum and nothing you do will be private".

If it’s a Qualcomm modem it already blows Apple away. Never been a google/android user but I’m thinking about it. No Samsung but this may be the next device I purchase.
This phone is going to have a stellar camera and the rest of the specs will check the boxes along with the secure face unlock. It looks more visually attractive than the iPhone 11 when you factor in the rear. Apple makes wonderful devices and the operating system is great, but this Pixel looks like Google has finally put the right package together. We will have to see how it is reviewed.
Also went down that hole a couple years back just to see how people can think that way. Still not sure lol
I had them on a Moto X 2014 and really like it. Motorola was ahead with that infrared tech at the time.
Apple copied low light mode for the camera. Before, apple had no idea how to do low light mode or even think that is what people wanted.
