Funny you say software is the focus when it won't be updated beyond 2 years. If software was truly the focus they would have announced a revolutionary feature - 4 years of OS updates.
Depends on your usage. Fi would be super expensive for me.Don't forget that this phone will work with Project Fi, which can save you a bunch of money every month over other carriers.
That may not be true. Google assistant may stay on the Pixel only.Yes the software is amazing, but this will be available soon on all the other android phones soon. So the only thing you are missing is the camera, i think LG phones have a pretty good camera. i don't really care about 24/7 help. everything is available if you search for it. So the BEST camera and 24/7 is not worth the price tag.
That may not be true. Google assistant may stay on the Pixel only.
Honestly I doubt this. Google is, first and foremost, an information company. Info about their users drives their core businesses. Google Assistant is the pinnacle of info gathering and usage. They would be insane to limit it to just the Pixel - which, despite their show yesterday, will be a niche device compared to iPhones and Samsung Galaxies.
I fully expect Assistant to come to other phones. Not right away, but within the next six to nine months (meaning next year's flagships). Within a year it will be a core feature of Android. That's what my crystal ball tells me, anyway.
What exactly?That phone has more compromises than the Pixel phone does lol
The problem is no other phone will have the gurantee of quick software updatesYeah, but I think the real question is, what do lose? The iPhones and Galaxies all cost about the same right? Maybe there are some discounts to be had by the carriers, but when I looked at the iPhone, it looked like you were paying for the whole cost anyhow. So it comes down to what you actually want. For me, I have been down the Galaxy road, didn't like it. Been down the Apple road too, actually did like it, but like the google apps and philosophy better. There is a good chance this phone will be something really good, I'm willing to take that gamble and check it out. If you are simply going on pricing and comparing it to the best, it is on par. Let's just hope that the hardware is also on par. To be honest, I will not be happy unless it compare favorably to the Iphone in overall performance.
What if OnePlus releases oneplus 4 at half the price? More or less Same feature except Google assistant....
How can it justify the high price
He's right. Your wishful thinking is clouding your judgement.We shall see.
Well if they have 24 hour live support I guess that ends the price debate.
