edit: realised it's not a "published by Google" video and assume it's been cut down, which makes a lot of the editing oddness make more sense.
I assume people are just done with Google branded hardware. It felt like a premium maker in the early Nexus days, but Stadia felt like the last gasp.
This device costs more than Samsung's and Apple's related products, and relies on older internals (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/the-pixel-watch-is-o...).
How did they review that, look at the number, and justify that internally without some weird politics and a purposeful head-in-the-sand attitude?
- the best camera for photos
- the best Android experience on the market
- no Samsung/Xiaomi bloatwate
- 5 years of software support
- great AI features
And many other things. Also specs haven't mattered for a long time now.
The only thing that android needs to improve in performance is Web browser JS performance, because its a joke compared to IOS.
Props to Google for actually doing their event live, cutting to the chase, and not scaring people into feeling like they will die if they don’t buy product X or Y
