Just what exactly is the bottom bezel for anyway?
You'll find out when someone opens one up.
Look at what it could have been like, look at that light bar.

Looking like an iPhone
It won't be Pixel exclusive for long. People querying things in Google search is the root of their income, so it would be nonsensical for them to restrict a new service which helps people use Google to the 'elite' who buy a Pixel phone.

I'm not impressed with Google, hardware wise the Pixel doesn't look great in my eyes. iPhones hardware is still above it for sure, I would have one if they would stop treating their users like children with their software.
I'm currently just coming out of contract with my Nexus 6 and this certainly wont be my next phone.
I have to admit I'm in a bit of quandary now as to what to do about my next phone, I had hoped that the Pixel's were going to be better than this. Also those prices!, eye watering prices from what I have seen so far.
RIP Nexus line, you did well my son.

I blame Google. They had full control of the design.
Likewise.
HTC are capable of making great phones I.e. one m7/m8, one s/x, desire/nexus one and to an extent even the 10
They can design some of the best looking phones too I.e. again the desire/nexus one, one s/x, one m7 etc.

Indeed so soo much better. Add a few features in and I would have paid top dollar.
So tempted with the XL but I dont like the following.
No Waterproofing. I work out doors in all weather so I have been drenched to the skin before but my sony Z3 has been fine.
No stereo speakers
Needs to be about £100 cheaper.
But I really Like the look of Daydream VR and the Google assistant.

Yeah but on what contract terms.
I am on 3 sim only £15 a month for unlimited 4g + 200 minutes and +200 text which is fine for me as I dont make many calls but use data a lot.
I can not find any plans for this phone that makes it worth me taking it as part of a contract.
