I'm getting a 500 from the get go on store.google.com what a joke!

There was another event page not long ago from google that was undone. E.g the FAQ page for this also looks a bit off. Not sure what is going on there.

I don't get it, wtf am I supposed to do with the images on the right hand side in the link? I'm not interested in sharing moments, I just want to see a picture of the damn thing without having to watch the stupid video.

I guess they are for journalists etc.? Like a live press pack?

Wow. The marketing team for this have been taking very detailed notes on Apples presentation style. Products aside, this is almost identical to Apple's launch yesterday.

Beautiful phone, but the bump in the back... sorry i just can't Who started this camera bump movement the past decade? it's very ugly... and not practical at all..

Have you ever owned one? It's quite nice actually to be able to rest your finger on the bump for stability when you're using the phone with one hand, and it lets you kind of easily prop the phone up on a wallet/notebook/whatever's around when you're reading something while eating.

The raised camera band is bound to be a controversial design choice.

Yeah, last thing I want on my phone is stuff sticking out and preventing it from laying flat.

The recent camera bevels are bad enough.

As much as I love Android, the way Google introduces pixels is just sad, esp. when you think about the time and effort that Apple put into their event.

I don't know why Android OEMs keep thinking they can get away with controversial design choices and high prices as if they were Apple. (not sarcastic :P)

On the contrary it's very practical, fits larger cameras and prevents the back of the phone from sliding flat against sharp grains scraping the back and camera glass.

It's ugly and annoying though but it's not there just for fun.

Awkward people standing with shoulder width apart because the studio director told them so.

Let people stand the way they feel comfortable. Tim Cook yesterday appeared like his feet are glued to the ground in the process of squatting. Naturally people never stand with feet this far apart. But the trend continues and shitty directors at Apple don’t get it.

This type of production gets zero points from me. It’s just terrible.
