How would Nexus/Pixel be if Google still had Motorola?

Without them really caring about the patents. Thoughts?

Sadly, I feel they would be better.

I thought their Motorola Nexus and the rest of their Motorola designs were excellent. I liked how they used to price and market their phones as affordable, making low end, mid-range, and top end. The Moto X Play and X Pure had cool designs, all still running stock Android. Their goal used to be super affordable as possible while packing as much power in the hardware as they can afford.. the first Nexus tablet had a quad core CPU and 1GB of RAM, which was a beast back in the day, all while retaining a low, affordable price. Their Pixel line pretty much abandons their original ways. They should've stuck with Moto and not throw them in the trash after taking their patents...

BTW I still have a Moto E 2nd Gen 4.5' phone... Paid $30 for it over 2 years ago.. still rockin' and since it HAS A MICRO SD SLOT and FM tuner, it serves as a small music/MP3 player with very good battery life. No problems with battery even after 2.5 years later...
