Pixel by Google

This video is screaming to me that there is something obnoxious on the top edge of the phone. It is hidden in every camera angle and we see every other edge of the phone.

Anyone know what's there?

Nice stab at Apple there with the 3.5 mm jack. Glad they kept it.

Reminds me a lot of this video [1] from Apple that presented the iPhone 7 in 107 seconds... [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeoUELDgyM4

I like the apple video more. The music pairing and faster cuts made for a more frenetic experience that is extremely effective at building hype.

Hopefully a hard switch for true silent mode. A man can dream...

The headphone jack would be the only thing I can think of, as when they mention it, they don't show it. The other 5 faces don't have it, so its the only remaining location for it.

Maybe they had to hide the top because this version was made before they decided to add a headphone jack back in?
