At some point Google needs to think about why these phones exist. Nobody buys them and there is no way their hardware division is turning a profit. After Stadia, I bet this is next.

> Nobody buys them

Are you sure? A growth from 1% of sold mobile phones in 2021Q4 to 3% in 2023Q4 doesn't seem too bad

Actually the Pixels are great just because of GrapheneOS.

I hope so. We need less phones manufacturing. We already have plenty. And they all are the same.

Why would we want less competition? I can’t understand this sentiment.
