If this has been asked in the past I apologize. I was wondering why Pixel only deals with Verizon? As an AT&T subscriber I have to buy an unlocked phone. Will there ever be a chance to see Google work with other networks?
That's for Google to answer.
But I think it came down to:
- Google may not want to go that wide with distribution channels at this time
- unlocked is irrelevant in the US, you make waves with a carrier partnership here
- Verizon is probably paying for the exclusive
- Google and Verizon have history that includes of working together with original DROID (2.0) and Xoom (3.0) with Motorola which for all intents and purposes were Nexus devices without the Nexus name
- Verizon is the number one carrier in the US
