  1. A $700.00+ phone with no water resistance, expandable memory nor wireless charge?
    The only thing it has going for it is stock android.
    It's in the same category as the HTC Ultra if you ask me. Lots of missed opportunities

  3. Was this guy the salesman? My one big question is – How does this phone
    justify the new £600-800 price tag from previous Nexus? Previous Nexus
    used to be cheap but well made good phones. Apart from unlimited photo
    storage and a better camera (should be standard anyway) I don't see how
    they can justify such a huge price jump. Removing OIS from the camera is
    really going to effect your shots too. Replacing it with a software mod
    is just a downgrade, whatever way you look at it.

  4. Those of you who are buying an iphone or own an iphone please read the book, "Common Sense", by Thomas Paine. I just preordered the pixel and its faster and better than the iphone 7. Better camera quality, better battery life, and it has a headphone jack. On top of that, you get unlimited storage for photos and videos.

  5. Expensive, no front facing stereo speakers, fugly design (subjective), huge ass bezels, no water or dust proofing, no wireless charging… Huge long-term Nexus fan but I'll be holding onto my Nexus 6P for a little while longer – so disappointed!

  6. It looks like they've blended together an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6.

    But where they've peeled off the iPhone's home button (to stick it on the back) it's left a ton of useless space.

  7. I honestly think this is a decent phone. A lot of people here are critisising it on how it looks, I'd put a case on it no matter what phone I got so it makes no odds to me. And I want a phone that can let me almost seamlessly switch from iPhone to android.
    I'm gonna be one of the only ones to buy this I don't give a shit. A bunch of nerdy cunts who think they sound smart telling me that it's not as good as android or iPhone and bombarding me with spec sheets isn't going to stop me from buying it

  8. i like this phone but i think it's need to be improve on the base design and apps..otherwise it's look like a usual android phone…may be i wait another year and they will launch with improvement and better design…

  9. lol hate is real. not worth the price. and iphone 7 plus is? it has unlimited storage from google. the assistant is better than siri. the camera is amazing and its stock android. water proofing doesnt exist on iphone 7 or note 7. they are resistant. anyone that needs waterproof gets a case. people like to hate for sake of hate. im getting rid of my note 7 for this phone. and its not an iphone copy if anything iphone is an htc copy. use what you like. stop trashing stuff cause you got a branch up your ass

  10. This is a Samsung Galaxy S7/ and S7 Edge competitor first and foremost. It's unlikely to make many iPhone owners buy it because few iPhone users are interested in seeing if anything is better out there.

    Apple users rarely look at other devices, whereas Android (Samsung) users will look elsewhere and most have Samsung Galaxies.

  11. Microsoft made a serious error by removing the Start button and now it looks like Google has done the same. The average user is not going to have any idea how to see their apps.

    Plus it looks fiddly. Why break what isn't broken? A button is much quicker than a swipe.
