This phone:

 

[CecilRousso]

So far, nothing I've read about this phone makes me feel bad for buying the Nexus 5X just last week. Not impressed by the battery in it, but otherwise that phone has everything I need.

And as said before in this thread, most smartphones are hillariously overpriced. Not jumping on that train anymore.

 

[oti]

lol oops verizon

Google Magic

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Anyone else betting that they get booed if those awful prices are true?

 

[Volotaire]

Today's the day.

 

[takriel]

I'm gonna be real pissed if my phone choices this year are between the most lackluster iPhone in 9 years, A super expensive Nexus and a phone that explodes. Might just buy that Amazon Moto G with ads and punt another year.

So what, you have to buy a new phone each year? #firstworldproblems

 

[Sky Chief]

the blue pixel

Wow, and just like that I go from "fuck this overpriced piece of shit phone" to "I need this now!"

 

[KeRaSh]

I'd love to get a small Pixel but if those prices are indeed correct then I'm not so sure anymore.

You can't get the GS7Edge or it's successor?

 

[timcsavage]

Indeed, but here's one of the cases from last year.

That looks amazing, who made it?

 

[Hasney]

Wow, and just like that I go from "fuck this overpriced piece of shit phone" to "I need this now!"

Damn, it does look good. Is it not blue on the front though? That would be the deal breaker.

 

[Ghost]

It'll be interesting to see what they talk about with this because on the face of it I'm not sure why they've gone to all the effort of developing their own device.

I was expecting a project Tango device or something special to make it suited for Daydream...guess we'll see if there's more to it later on.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Anyone else still super miffed that there is no (possibly) 64GB option?

 

[Kinokou]

Wow, and just like that I go from "fuck this overpriced piece of shit phone" to "I need this now!"

Based off color alone?

 

[SKINNER!]

Based off color alone?

I know! Even I'm surprised!

 

[RocknRola]

Anyone knows when the even will start? Would like to watch it, if I can.

 

[ArchAngel]

Based off color alone?

If people can hate the phone from the first blurry pics like Google killed their kids, liking it because of the color isn't really strange

 

[Sayad]

Anyone knows when the even will start? Would like to watch it, if I can.

In about 7 hours and 30 minutes from now.

 

[co1onel]

In about 7 and a half hours from now.

6 and a half hours. There's a countdown in the op

Ah, must have missed it. My bad. Thanks guys!

Also, went all "engrish" with that post. Need more coffee.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Yeah so the price is probably correct. Way too much for a rebranded Nexus, I don't know what google is thinking.

 

[novabolt]

Lol "Really Blue" and "Very Silver". So is the Pixel Phone hexa-core or something different? I don't know what I should choose, a Nexus 5P or the Pixel Phone?

 

[RocknRola]

Yeah so the price is probably correct. Way too much for a rebranded Nexus, I don't know what google is thinking.

Those are prices with contract, correct?

 

[Admodieus]

My biggest hope out of this Pixel announcement is that Google puts its weight behind some good USB-C accessories, like charging docks and such.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Those are prices with contract, correct?

Yes, so without it's probably the amount rumoured by Android Police a while ago. Starting at 650 for the 32gb Pixel.

 

[RocknRola]

Uuuh. Shame. That's quite expensive... :S

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

What does a Verizon contact add to your monthly? I've never gotten a straight answer.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

pixel....easy ass choice. Wayyyyyyyyy better hardware.

 

[neoanarch]

My 5X isn't that old. But I'm seriously considering getting the cheaper Pixel if the price is right.(via Project Fi)

 

[Vanillalite]

Hard to compare? You talking 5X or 6P?

Even then Pixel is obviously better, but it's way more expensive? So hard to compare?

 

[Kthulhu]

Same, that's why I'm hoping it's decently priced and the rumors are wrong.

 

[outunderthestars]

Hoping for a surprise tabley announcement, but not optimistic about it.

 

[neoanarch]

I might pay it off along my monthly bill with Fi. Really like the service so no reason to switch.

 

[Patrick Young]

I was expecting all screen and no bezel based on the teaser ads. I'll be staying on track for next year's iPhone, which may do exactly that.

For me: OS >>>>>>>>bezel size.

 

[OriginalThinking]

What leads you to believe that? iPhones have always had huge bezels, and low res screens compared to Android. With the exception of the CPU/GPU the specs for an iPhone would get an absolute mauling if they were announced for a high end android phone.

 

[Audioboxer]

Gutted about potential pricing. Long live the Nexus 4/5 days

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Has there been any leaks of a potential Nexus 7 2016 (other than the evleaks tweet from several weeks back)?

God I hope the 7 comes back. My favorite tablet of all time.

It's not going to be Nexus anything. It's going to be called...Pixel XXL.

 

[nature boy]

So a company known for its FREE products wants to go premium price with their phones.

What could go wrong.

Wow. Pixel already bigger news than Nexus.

 

[Stat Flow]

Couldn't care less about the phone. I'm tuning in for the Google Home and Google Wifi details. Will there be a thread for the conference?

 

[sleverfunk]

Phone looks good but that price. Jesus googy.

 

[CronoShot]

Yeah so the price is probably correct. Way too much for a rebranded Nexus, I don't know what google is thinking.

So this probably translates to:

Pixel
32GB $649
128GB $749

Pixel XL
32GB $749
128GB $849

Yeeeeaaaahhhhhh.....

 

[Vanillalite]

Supposedly someone got that on lock.

I'm to lazy to make anything, but if 11:45 comes and no topic I'll throw up something.

 

[Jintor]

Really been pondering whether to go for newest of new or try and snipe a 6p when the pixel is announced. Guess I'll know tomorrow morning

 

[Somnid]

Well that's an embarrassing misinterpretation. I have a Samsung Entensity 2 from 2010. I ran it so hard into the ground I have little options but to get a new phone and it's going to be a smartphone because the rest of my family wants to finally get smartphones. #realproblems

You haven't had a smartphone all this time?

If you've never had a smartphone the iPhone won't be lackluster. Hell a 6P from last year will feel like a new world.
