What’s the differentiation against an iPhone? Presumably both phones are fast and take great photos and have an app ecosystem. But the iPhone is likely faster, probably has longer battery, and will last longer as a phone - I know people using Apple phones several generations old and still getting security updates. Apple also offers better privacy and their built in services like Maps are really good now. If I were Go…
Will app developers get access to the Tensor chip? Will all the features of the phone and the Titan M2 chip still work with another Android build like grapheneOS or LineageOS? I don't think those were covered in the video.
I think this is another classic bit of Google branding. Tensor is their custom SoC with CPU, GPU and an ML co-processor (think this was codenamed Whitechapel). Not the ML processor itself. Whereas Google's Tensor Processing Unit is a large scale ML accelerator. Why they've decided to use the same name for two totally different chips with different functions is anyone's guess.
Not a fan of the design of the Pixel or iPhone. They both have these cold, sterile design that doesn't look like it was designed to be used and held by a human hand. It was designed to be looked at or for curated display in an Apple Store. And what's with all the flat design, we need skeumorphism and warmth back in industrial and UI design. I prefer the soap bar design which seems to have been forgotten. And no more…
> And what's with all the flat design, we need skeumorphism and warmth back in industrial and UI design. I’d be interested to know your general age group. I have a theory that skeumorphism is a cross-generational design trend that serves a purpose to articulate a radical new technological paradigm in a language that makes sense to people that have never experienced it (i.e. A radio app that looks like an actual radio…

> shatter so easily, finger print magnets and just add unnecessary weight. Only weight is valid statement. Matte glass on iPhone is unbreakable.
Dropped it from pocket height and is completely shattered.
