1. So, hmmm, how are you OnHub buyers feeling? Does that USB port work?
2. Pathetic cheap dig at the headphone jack. So, next year the Market will be full of lighting headphones that are compatible with 900 million iOS devices, and almost 0 USB-C headphones. Let's revisit this topic next year, Google. Pathetic.
3. Assistant is nothing more than a rebranded Google Now after the panic attack they got by Apple starting to opening up Siri. Even with their technical prowess, no one cared or used Google now on the real world. But Joes know Siri.
4. No new features, no new nothing, no useful nothing. Just rebranding what's already there.
5. Google Play music. Youtube Music. Youtube Red. One music service per chat app?
6. BTW, no one cares about any new Google service, so those chat apps are DOA, as usual.
7. It's hilarious to see older Google events and laugh it off of what they actually do after the hype.
8. Google home is a cheaper/"me too" answer to Homekit, so Android doesn't get years and years behind and steamrolled, like they are on any new category by usefulness and adoption. (home, payments, 64 bit, etc.).
9. Their phones are lower quality copies of an iPhone. A 749 6s Plus will have a more competent SoC, faster memory, more software support and updates, and a better ecosystem to boot.
10. Hype train and failure, as usual per Google.
11. Nice camera, most likely. Apple keeps saving on hardware components when they can, despite having the best SoC, memory and software. I know that it is all about scale and being able to produce 150 million devices per year, but still...
12. Lol
 
I would feel embarrassed pulling out a Google phone out of my pocket in public. I dunno, pulling out an iPhone just feels cool. Hard to explain this psychological phenomenon.

With a Google product, you feel yourself like a second-class citizen that lives in a third-world country. Whereas Apple products feel luxurious, it's like owning a Porsche, or like living in Switzerland or Monaco.

I was expecting more given the hype they tried to generate with the ads, but this doesn't seem any more special than just another Nexus? Google announcing they were focusing on integration of hardware and software, while making a phone that looked like iPhone was cringey. If I was to get an Android phone, why would I buy this over a Galaxy?

Wow - not biased at all. Google is going head to head with Echo right now - it's an actual product vs Apple's "home" which doesn't exist.

I'm not sold on the Phone - but Google Home is impressive.

A does not explode
And B it has official support from google.
 
I think this is stiff competition. Once Andromeda launches Google will be a strong ecosystem competitor. I kind of want a Pixel and Daydream, mainly for learning purposes.
 
LIKE OMG APPLE TOTALLY COPIES EVERYTHING FROM AND---

Oh wait.

Perhaps at least with Google controlling the software AND the hardware, there will finally be a halfway functional Android device out there.
