It appears Osterloh still has no idea how to run a hardware division. Yet another year of head-shaking design decisions and sales offers. Good luck to the early adopter beta testers of the gimmicky soli gestures and the sure-to-be-bumpy transition to face ID. Like every other Osterloh product...

Black Friday at Best Buy. Last year's P3XL offer was $400 instant discount on a financed device, which can be immediately paid off at the discounted price if you want. No guarantee they'll repeat it this year but if they do it's hard to beat that deal just six weeks after product release.

Agree with all of your post, but w/r/t this as reasoning for 6GB in the P-liteXL, how does Google then explain/justify combining an even slower CPU with only 4GB RAM in the smaller P-lite? (Assuming specs in OP linked article are correct)

Well you are pretty adamant that anything more than 4gb is of no value and thus unnecessary for pure Android.

My very first thought was concern that Mike Dee's head might have exploded, so I'm very relieved to see this. :p ;) The more concerning thing is the apparent return of inferior specs in the smaller phone. I thought Google was passed that. Evidently they're more interested in the PR of a...

Just an FYI - I started a Google Pixel User Community thread on the media player display issue here.

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. Lol. Welp, at least we solved that mystery. Ask a simple question and we had to chase down rabbit holes to find the convoluted answer. Thanks for sticking with it. Now, if we can just get Google to fix the bug that causes the Pixel Stand media player...

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. Hmm, well that would do it but it's kind of a nuclear option. Lol.

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. Yes, but smart lock doesn't change the behavior of the display settings. Even with smart lock enabled, if the display settings are set to sleep after two minutes the screen will turn off after two minutes. Smart lock just means you don't need a passcode or...

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. I too use my fingerprint to log in every time I use the phone. Fingerprint wake/log in > Open GPM or Spotify > Select/Play content > Place phone on Pixel Stand. When I do that the behavior I described above occurs. This display setting should put your...

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. It was fine before the mods moved these posts. Here it is again. This is playing Google Play Music (GPM) and this is a Pixel Stand display (note the Google Assistant logo at the bottom). Do you get this display on your PS? Yes, I also have this set for...

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. So do you not get this display when the phone is on the Pixel Stand and playing something from Google Play Music? I get this for 10 minutes and then the screen goes to the PS ambient display (while music continues - this doesn't impact the music playing...

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. While on the Pixel Stand listening to G-Play Music does the media player display stay on for the entire complete album? Or does media player display shut down at some point and revert to the PS ambient display?

Re: Double tap to wake stops working. To clarify - I did mean the media player display that appears when listening to Google Play Music or Spotify when the phone is on the Pixel Stand (PS). The screen shows the album cover of the song (now) playing plus music player controls (pause/play...

As I noted upthread, this is the highlighted call-out from his article and is a declarative statement about the entire Pixel product line: Google is simply the only company selling a high-end phone with terrible camera performance.
