I'm sad to see the Nexus line go away. I quite like my Nexus 5 but have no interest in spending over 600$ on a phone.

Does anyone know of a decent sub 5-inch phone? All the reviews sites seem to ignore this factor. My old 4.3" moto X is dying and I'm hoping to find a truly pocketable replacement.

Another vote for the Z3C. Small, fast enough for me, and I can easily get two days out of it.

Pretty much the only reason I even use Android has been the Nexus line. Why would I want vendor crapware on my phone? Why would I want a Google phone with Google crapware?

This is precisely why myself and my wife are full-on Nexus users.

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...

Ten Four = 10/4 = October 4th = The date of the announcement

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…

Not looking forward to the new rumored price tag ($649+). Might have to go back to OnePlus then.

I wonder if that's Simone Giertz (the famous "mad inventor" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3KEoMzNz8eYnwBC34RaKCQ ) on the left. She mentionned on instagram that she'd be present at some Google events.

Doesn't look like her.

Is the Z3C getting Android updates? How is the Sony software/skin/bloatware/addons compared to the cleanness of the Nexus line?

Check out the OnePlus 3. It's a "flagship killer" at a low price. I have one and it's excellent.

But are they still doing that ridiculous "invite-only" buying model? I really wanted to get a OnePlus One when it came out but they wouldn't ever let me give them money for one.

They don't.

I was waiting for the Pixels, but the OnePlus 3 looks awesome for the price! How is the camera on that phone? I remember researching OnePlus 2 a while back, and it was the camera that killed it for me.

The camera is much improved from the OnePlus 2. AnandTech did a review here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10411/the-oneplus-3-review/5
