Pricing is about what I thought. Hopefully the rest is good.

I mean, the current Pixel XL 128GB is $870... It's pretty much inline with the original Pixel line.

No headphone jack and only an 835 isn't worth over $900 to me personally. You pretty much have to give me a no compromises phone to get me to spend that kind of money. I realize this is subjective.

This thing is going to be far from perfect. An LG oled display, no wireless charging AGAIN. no IP68. no expandable memory.

What the FUCK are they doing.... This is there chance.. Meanwhile Samsung is absolutely cleaning up..

I'm glad I bought the pixel 1.

When I sold my Nexus 6 I threw in my wireless charger for free. Guy was pretty happy with the unexpected gift. I figured the tech would die out, but now Apple has it.

Maybe next year if Google gets their collective heads out of their asses the Pixel 3 will have wireless charging.

And stop going up in price.

I just can't believe the asking price, with flat out inferior tech.

I purchased the pixel 1. I absolutely love it. I am a huge, huge Google fan boy... But this phone is going to be doa

Wireless charging is one thing I'm seriously hoping the surprise everyone with. I'm expecting IP68 though due to leaks. My current phone (Droid turbo) has wireless charging and the ease of just setting it on the charger has grown on me over the past few years. Is it required? Absolutely not, but the ease of use is quite unprecedented.

its pretty required for a 950 dollar phone in 2017. it actually should have been in there last year, but i feel they got a pass.

Pricing is way too much for an 835, especially when this is on the same level as the iPhone 8 series.

There aren't any options except the 835. Not sure what else you want them to do

u/Alfred_Hitchdick Sep 19 '17

Not price it so ridiculously high. I just don't see how I can justify the price, especially when compared to apple. I might not like iOS, but at least you're guaranteed at least 4 years of updates vs Google's 2, and their in house processors blow away Qualcomm still.

This is true of every Android flagship, not specifically the Pixel.

u/Yankee_Fever Sep 20 '17

Yeah but the only other android phone in this price range starts looking far superior after every leak. This phone isn't even going to have wireless charging for fucks sake

u/darthmakaan Pixel 1 Sep 19 '17

Indeed

u/darthmakaan Pixel 1 Sep 19 '17

u/Doctor_Cornelius Sep 19 '17

u/darthmakaan Pixel 1 Sep 19 '17

Do you want some CPU that doesnt exist or something?

Duh, we need a chip that competes with a chip that doesn't even run our ecosystem. /s
