Yes It is moving from an ODM/JDM relationship to Google being the OEM and HTC being the EMS.
You managed to use 5 acronyms in one sentence. Unfortunately even though I have been an programmer for a while I was unable to understand any of them, also googling is not that helpful. Could you elaborate?
Sorry about that (and thanks kogepathic for expanding)!

#133I think it is just me but I find this 'book me a concert and fancy dinner' schtick rather boring. May be well off people are so busy and book these things so often that these virtual assistant really save time if price is of no concern to them.
I thought it was odd they used SMS when they had a few other communication apps to chose from.
They'd have to pick one of their dozen offerings for that. Can you really say that one child is your favorite out of your whole brood?

That's funny, I thought all the ones before it were "iPhone killers". Hmmmmm.

I think this is very user-specific. My wife has had two iphones (5, 6). Both die much faster than my androids (many many hours). We use them about the same.
Anecdotes aside, let's find some data: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1402071/best-ph... http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3 https://www.statista.com/statistics/280508/smartphone-batter... Looks like Apple is middle of the pack among premium phones these days. My experience was with NEXUS 4 and 5, which would often be out of juice when I needed them.
"Anecdotes aside, let's find some data:"
FWIW: I think it's pretty sad that almost all of these phones are certainly collecting this data (even if only in internal dogfood populations, etc), but then the stats we get are based on random things like "talk time" or ...
I wonder if anyone started a public app project that auto-tracks and uploads battery stats that folks can participate in.

#137The interesting part will be for how long will the Phone + Software be supported. Now that the price is the same I think it's fair the support should be the same as the iPhone.
My Nexus 4 from several years back keeps getting timely updates. And still works pretty well.
My Nexus 6 from only a couple of years back however doesn't have Nougat and doesn't look like it's going to. It still work great though.

#139"The Pixel phones will also be the first to run the next version of Android, Nougat 7.1 […] Everyone is treated the same, including Rick’s team" Treated the same, to a limit, I guess. If everyone is treated the same, they wouldn't be able to guarantee to be the first ones out with Nougat. Let's see how short or long the lead start is they will give their own phones.
Interestingly, during the presentation today, the woman said "running Nougat", no mention of 7.1

#140And yet not a single hard detail in the article as to why the headline might be true. For going on ten years we've seen the "iPhone killers" come and go, and this article does nothing to tell me why this time it will be different. Perhaps because it won't be. Of what very few details the article outlines, they just go on about nifty hardware. Have we not learned by now that cool hardware still sucks when hamstrung by…
To be fair, the article links to the review of the camera by DXOMark [1], who rate it very highly. In my opinion, they're the most reliable reviewers of cameras out there so if they say its the best phone camera, then it is.
