Heh, no thanks, I'll see what the Galaxy S8 offers, it is almost certainly going to support assistant and the other connected gubbins, better camera and be cheaper than £819 AND have an SD card slot.
I'm more interested in Google WiFi and Google home, as I do intend on connecting up various things like door bells, switches and lights. Those things seem much better priced. Also like the new VR headset, £79 is a great price.
So sod the Pixel phone, bring on the other stuff.
