Are the Pixels actually that popular? I feel like another company (Samsung, LG) could corner the market on the "pure android" phone and have a better product. I'm surprised Google feels so confident with it's mediocre and overpriced phones.

on time patches, a superior camera, there are a few reasons to get a pixel.

9 month off product cycle from other android manufacturer means a cpu that will be a generation behind in 3 months when the next samsung, etc release though. As well as other drawbacks.

That's why I was saying that that they need to get onto Android base - then the only thing will be the camera, which to be fair, Google is really great at.
