| By all accounts, Google's Pixel and Pixel XL were failures. It's not easy to admit, but outside of tech nerd circles, nobody really cared about them.
The tech giant's first premium phones were good phones that fell short of challenging Samsung and Apple's dominance. But don't think for a second that Google's tossing in the the towel anytime soon. The Pixels are here for the long, long haul.
In fact, Google's new Pixel 2 and 2 XL come out with guns blazing. They may not be the prettiest or most feature-packed phones, but damn it if they're not just the kind of competitive flagship phones the world needs now that companies are charging $1,000 (or more) for the latest and greatest glass slabs.
Google's latest Android phones — starting at $650 for the Pixel 2 and $850 for the Pixel 2 XL — look downright affordable compared to the $950 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and upcoming $1,000 iPhone X. These are prices for the 64GB models. The Pixel 2's also comes in 128GB versions, but that'll cost you extra.
But that's also not an entirely fair comparison. The Pixel 2 and 2 XL have similar pricing to the Galaxy S8/S8+ and iPhone 8/8 Plus. These are still really excellent phones. They're just not Samsung or Apple's best. |
