>There have been several reports over the last year mentioning Google’s interest in building a smartphone. Although the company does have its own Nexus program to showcase the best the Android platform has to offer (and, at least was true at first, provide some baseline devices for developers), it still needs to somewhat compromise on hardware here and there by much less directly impacting the engineering process.
>However, it looks like this may not remain the case for much longer, with a new report — once again — suggesting that Google plans to launch something much more home-grown than in years previous…
>According to an anonymous tip we received earlier this year from an IP address located near Google’s campus, the company is “annoyed” at the iPhones perception of being the only “premium” offering on the market.
>We had already heard that the idea was being talked inside the company, but despite CEO Sundar Pichai’s apparent shutdown of the rumor at Code Conference last month — where he emphasized that Google would be “more opinionated” about Nexus devices in the future, but still work with third party manufacturers — a Telegraph report today is suggesting that we might see a full-Google smartphone, and possibly by the end of the year too.

Aka the nexus
Wow it's fucking clickbait news
>>55281008
You are not smart.
>>55280980
It better not be that modular phone
android is googke already, and there is nexus. wtf
>>55281021
First fucking paragraph in the OP.

Oh vey! Here comes the premium $900 smartphones. Just when Chinese companies were releasing cheap phones with good specs here comes Google with the premium meme. Goyim buy this phone for an extra $500 look at the aluminum frame, look at the thinness, buy it goyim
>>55281056
Pretty much this. I don't need a premium phone I need a phone with good specs which doesn't lag and is cheap.
>>55281021
so a Nexus 5X is the hardware equivalent of an iphone 6s?
>>55281056
Overall build quality is something that is lacking in Android land, and especially the Nexus line.
>>55281078
>Android
>Doesn't lag
Funny thing is Google is wasting their time. It is not a hardware problem it is an os problem.
Op3 can't has 6 gb of ram and can't have more than 5 apps running at the same time whereas ios can handle anything with 2gb of ram. Android is a mess.
>>55281081
>built quality
Paying hundreds of extra dollars for a premium frame which is gonna be hidden under a case.
>>55281110
They could have custom Android versions for this phone if they're in complete control of the process.
Not sure they'd do that though.
>>55281122
>Using a case
Android users just simply have zero taste or appreciation for design. I bet you think those brick industrial phone cases look good.
>>55281056
Yeah, Google's fucking retarded if this is the route they're going.
It's too late for Google/Android. The average consumer will always believe that iPhone is the premium option for a smartphone. I mean holy shit, all these years later, NOW they're worried about the perception of their brand?
Google does some really retarded shit sometimes. Their main business isn't consumer electronics I suppose. Whereas that's Apple's bread and butter.
>>55281139
>not using a 10000mhz case
>charging your battery everyday
>>55281110
Still better the the total clusterfuck that is iOS.
>>55281056
Nailed it. Someone send this tip to Google.
>>55281155
It's not.
>>55281171
POO IN LOO
>>55281056
This. We are getting a octacore phone with 6gb of ram for €350 euros. I don't want companies to fall into the premium trend and charge us 1k for a fucking premium phone.

>>55281139
iphone 6S user here, had it since december...I just now bought a case. I hate cases. But alas, I now have a Speck candy sheel clear, why?? Becuase once every 3 weeks or so, the silent toggle would get flipped in my pocket without me knowing....I found that annoying. Also, the case does make the 6S easier to hold. I still hate the case though.
>>55281056
Premium is nothing but a label.
Iphones are not premium they have mid specs at most. The brand might be premium not the product.
>>55281056
Well if Google wants to be a premium brand it better stop with the lgtb and feminist nonsense propaganda
>>55281227
Premium build quality
>>55281269
>applel chinkshit
>build quality
Good joke.
>>55281110
It's intentionally made to reduce future problems since the large ram is made to hold games with textures not hold large amounts of apps
Besides they've already released a number of updates since people didn't like this and it's not like you can't fucking tweak it anyway
>>55281282
All phones bend if you try
>>55281282
This isn't a problem on the Apple iPhone 6S Plus.
Recent android phones (htc10, s7) feel too premium for me. Please keep a nice cheap Korean/Chink ~Nexus 5".

>>55281346
2 rupees have been deposited in your Apple shill account Pradeep!
>>55281335
And iShit chinktrash bends even when you don't try.

>70+ lbs of force to bend iPhone 6
It doesnt matter that 70 is less that what other models bent at..
If you apply 70+ pounds of force to something in one of your pockets...you will notice it, and you will know it was you that did it.
The phones dont bend themselves
>>55281441
2 rupees have been deposited in your loo Pajeet!
>>55281441
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 doesn't have this problem.
>>55281529
Neither does the iPhone 6S Plus

>doesn't bend
You're trying too hard Pradeep.
