I like that they are trying to push some boundaries.
Never was a fan of the glyph matrix. Thought it was extremely gimmicky.
I kind of like the led display but they should have made it at least twice as big and a better resolution so it could have been fun and useful. As it is, it is just a gimmick.
I like the 3 50mp camera setup.
The screen is a no go for me as flagship at this price need to offer gorilla armor glass with ar coating. Could use 1st Gen. I don't care about LTPO vs the cheaper tech because of the large battery. I do care about the glass. One of the things iPhone does better.
The processor is a big deal. Using an 8s whatever that is vs an SD elite is very disappointing.
Overall it still feels more like a Pixel a series rather than a true flagship. It has like 80% of a flagship with 100% price with a few unique twists and decent software.
At $599 I would consider it but for $799 it just isn't a great deal. When you consider availability of aftermarket accessories, resale value, and deals Samsung offers or even Apple's low trade in value for a new iPhone I don't think these will sell very well.
They need to offer a flagship for less than a flagship or lower the MSRP. You would think the guy who helped create a flagship killer doesn't understand this premise. Until your brand is established and has a good reputation you have to lower profit margins. Look at Xiaomi. It is the story of their success by limiting profits and selling hardware for less than anyone else.
You can't go toe to toe with inferior hardware and charge the same price. I get there are some specs better on NP3 but not enough in my opinion. The display on the back I think is cool but not enough.
They are heading in the right direction but in this economy people are going to spend more carefully and conservatively which might make them want a safe bet over something "fun".
