Looking at the source, there are two arrays of image filenames specified between script tags on that page. One is "IMAGES", which is referenced by the JS elsewhere, and specifies overlayed over the rectangle. The other, called EXTRAS, defined but not referenced elsewhere. It contains two entries, pointing at these images: https://madeby.google.com/static/images/tenfour/extras/002.j... and https://madeby.google.com/st…

The phone on the ground looks like it's got rounded edges like Samsung.

Like the rounded corners rectangle in Photoshop?

My guess? a smart phone that has machine vision built in? ten four? sounds like tensor flow - machine learning.

Interesting how the search box grew to include images...

Interesting that they used both 10/4 and 4/10 for the URL... They care about internationalization!

That format also has the benefit of being in the correct order when sorting by name and by date.

If you were leading the Pixel phone effort what would you choose as the top three market differentiators?

To start one small thing I'd do is match Apple on the length of update support window.

I use that format to sort my picture folders. So, sorting by name sorts by date as well.

Additionally, I add the month text (mmm) as well to the date, which makes it easy for me to quickly recognize the month, otherwise I mostly have to count :(

So like, 2016-09(Sep)-19

That way, the sorting still works, and I get to see 3 letter month abbreviations as well.

I have the exact opposite: if I see a date with the name of a month I mentally convert it to the month number first.

Really good low-light quality on that selfie.

That will win you over the tech-fanboys, but is that anything normal people take into account when they pick a phone? I probably hear more complaints about new versions of iOS "making my phone worse" than Android users complaining about not getting updates.
