In my opinion Pixel is a disappointment. iPhone 7 brought two features that I really like (waterproofing and a faster CPU) but screwed it up by removing the headphone jack. So I was really looking forward to the Pixel. But it has no water resistance, no wireless charging, a poor backplate design, and an uncompetitive starting price. So at this point I'm disappointed in both flagship launches of the year. I don't know what to get to replace my Nexus 5. Maybe I'll get an iPhone 6s, despite the ugly antenna bands.

I think if Apple kept the headphone jack and added wireless charging, they'd have a lot of very happy customers.

When you can mostly charge your phone in half an hour, wireless charging becomes a little irrelevant.
Am I the only who thinks wireless charging is a terrible idea ?
Have you tried it?
