Keep in mind the "flagship" pricing of $649 is in USD, it is also the starting price of the regular iPhone 7... and that one is selling for $899 in Canada so we're looking at a minimum of $850 CAD to $900 CAD for the Pixel XL here.

According to the Android Police writer on Twitter today, $649 USD is the starting price of the Pixel (not XL). According to him, the source is fairly reliable. I'm going to be keeping an eye out to pick up a Nexus 5X on the cheap. Doesn't sound like the Pixel will be worth it. Either that or I'll just switch to iOS/an iPhone 6/6s because the resale value is very good. I'm not sure how Google is going to justify the price but I guess I can wait a couple more weeks to be proven wrong. I was hoping for $550 CAD max for the 32 GB 5" Pixel.Nook wrote:That would be costlier than the S7 Edge.

New real life photos, this time in white and silver:
Edit: "The images show both phones in the aluminum finish, which does look very light above. I think that's down to the harsh lighting. The top of the rear panel is clearly lighter and smoother (it's glass). " (http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/19 ... l-xl-leak/)

If this is actually going to be $649 USD for the Pixel (nevermind the Pixel XL), then Google's lost me as a customer (and I would say a lot more people). What was attractive about the Nexus phones, aside from the pure Android experience, was the amazing price point/value for money. Google's moved away from that, and I'm just not interested in more. You can spend a little bit more money and get a better phone from Apple or Samsung.

Sure, if you don't want a headphone jack, or like getting blown up by exploding batteries

iPhone 7 form factor largely resembles iPhone 6: terrible, Apple has lost its edge.

If the pixel really is $649 US, it makes the Oneplus3 or ZTE Axon 7 seem really attractive.

Looks like these phones won't be very water resistant, only rated IP53, useless : http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/21 ... g-it-down/
