Okay Blue, let's concede that Google Now may hear more accurately at times, which I also pointed out. However, your main claim was that Google Now was "light years, dozens of light years ahead" "in what Google can do." You still haven't given any support to that rather dubious claim.
Got a tip for us?

This phone looks a Chinese knock off of an iPhone 6S. Like, literally. The product page even looks like the iPhone.
After this, I want no fandroid coming up to me complaining about iPhone. Ever.

Huh? It doesn't run Android? Sarcasm here? And we all know how RAM hogging Android is. 4GB is like the 2GB of iPhone.
Uhhhh. I can see there's stabilisation. But still no mention of a proper mechanical OIS.
No ois still better than the iphone ois
Hardly anyone uses wireless charging.
No dual lens camera yet still better than the iphone 7+. Look at doxmark.
No iris scanner needed.
3DT is the dumbest hardware ever. Can implemented better with just touch gestures.
Wow. First time i visit this site and look at the comments. The level of stupidity and sheepness is real. I thought it was just a myth. Full of pathetic keyboard warrior. Lol
Yay humanaity?
Google Pixel
No OIS - Yes, it has OIS - it's right in the announcement - go watch it.
No waterproofing - Don't take your phone in the pool
No stereo speakers - Use stereo headphones with the 3.5mm HEADPHONE JACK
No wireless charging - Neither does the iPhone
No dual lens cameras - But works with VR
No Iris scanner - Neither does the iPhone
No 3DT - But has an AMOLED screen at full 1920x1080 HD res on the 5" and 2560 x 1440 for the 5.5", iPhone 7 is still a paltry 1334×750 in 2016
Hi
I posted a video a few posts earlier of the media event. It starts at 26mins CEO Sundar Picha explains why its like having your own Personal Assistant.
You're not any better.
Please quantify or prove that the Pixel without OIS is better than iPhone with OIS. You just made one of the most vague and mindless statement of the year.
WOW. Android fans like you used to say wireless charging is the best thing ever. And now suddenly it's hardly used?!
DxO only tells a part of the story...
Iris scanner's efficacy and use at this time is debatable
If 3D Touch is a dumb hardware I wonder why are some Android phones including it now? Hmm...
And I could go on with your English...but never mind.

WOW - Google just released the Google iPhone 6 Pixel amalgam thingy. Look at the Website.
https://madeby.google.com/phone/
Even that is a blatant rip. Yeeee Haaaa Google. Hard core innovation happening there.

OIS - As I mentioned earlier the video announcement only said video comes with stabilisation. And they didn't even say it's OIS. For all we know it may be EIS. Go Google difference between OIS and EIS
Water resistance - I don't know which camp you belong to, but if it's Android then it's so lame that the Android community is so proud of their water resistant phones and now you come and say don't take it near a pool as a solution. Hmm..
Stereo speakers - Again, android fans used to show off their nice stereo speakers. For example the HTC phones. And now you come and tell them the solution is headphones. Headphones fires into your ears for personal pleasure. Stereo speakers is for sharing. Get the difference?
Wireless charging - once again. Used to be a big thing in the android community. Suddenly you guys are downplaying it?
Screen res - there's a guy here who switched from Note 7 (presumably because of the explosive battery) to a 7 Plus and couldn't really tell the drop in resolution. So please...
Bloomin' heck they include a cable called "Quick switch adaptor" in the box for iPhone switchers and its a simple '3 step procedure' Google are really going after apple. I imagine the apple board saying the cable is a step too far.
Not sure why you keep bringing in all these other phones. I am comparing the two just released by Apple and Google. I am a huge Apple fan from like forever, but I just find Apple stagnating these days under Tim Cook. I thought Google's announcements had a lot of great stuff about pushing the tech forward. The assistant stuff goes far beyond what Siri does. Apple used to be about that - pushing tech, rather than pink hardware and silly internet radio stations. Even a year or more later, people still can't figure out what music they have on their iPhones. Bad Apple. Apple design is usually fantastic, but design only holds up when there's great tech behind it. Stickers are not great tech. I'm always hopeful Apple will come to its senses and push forward. Maybe next year with the 10th anniversary on the iPhone coming up. Meanwhile, that's another year away and Google iterates faster than Apple these days.
Damn, and us iPhone users get a bad rap for being "sheep". The level of hypocrisy in the Android fan base doesn't make me want to switch to Android at all. In fact, it does just the opposite.
Is it just me or is this phone completely underwhelming. There is literally nothing about this phone that excites me.
In fact, this phone looks like an ugly frankenphone of HTC & iPhone. It may just be one of the blandest designs I have seen in a long time.

Sorry, it got a bit out of context. I already appreciate the benefits of Siri and the like. Originally was asking what study showed that Google Now is so much better than competitors. Really don't want to continue because it is now off topic.
It is funny how now have come to one single factor why anyone would get Googles top phone instead of an iPhone. And is the one I personally care less.
I can't understand how anyone who has ever owned or supported Google Nexus phones can be happy about this. What a disappointment. RIP Nexus
I'm no Google fan, but I'm even less of a fan of the ignorant comments that I'm reading here. The Pixel looks like a clean, well-designed product. We all respect Apple for their approach to products, and yet when Google does the same, it's "copying"? Google has really delivered something powerful here that a lot of people will enjoy - across multiple devices that work well together. Apple's rig feels slight outdated next to this stuff.
Does it matter? Many here will get a device that has an apple logo on the back, features are not relevant, brand comes first.
Even if competition makes a better device , the genius of apple is the creation of the ecosystem and dependencies, its clever and locks you in. Sadly Siri is just plain awful in an excellent ecosystem.
Yah, 4GB does not make a product better than one with 2GB. That's a false belief. If the software is wasteful, it doesn't matter how much RAM you have. Software is the key to a well-performing device, not just tons of memory.
Almost not worth responding to... Apple is not "saving on hardware components". The iPhone is their main revenue generator. If they could get an even better camera into the phone, they would! Each hardware manufacturer does their best with what's available at the time. We'll know just how good the Googe Pixel's camera compares to iPhone cameras in the coming weeks. That's what matters. Honestly, camera performance has reached a point where people are capturing photos with far more quality than most care about.
