I wasn't too impressed with the leaks etc. But looking at the official stuff now, it's looking awesome. The Assistant looks pretty slick....getting flashbacks of Her!

Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL phones start at $649 and $769, pre-orders begin today

Crazy prices.

Seems somewhat expensive compared to
OnePlus 3 - $400
ZTE Axon 7 - $400
Asus Zenphone 3 Delux - $499
Xiaomi Redmi Mi5 - $320

All have similar specs to the Pixel at much lower price.

The prices for these are crazy. Should have maxed out at $450.

On the plus side, maybe you'll be able to grab a Nexus 5X or 6P on the cheap. On the downside, the Nexus line is now pretty much dead.

Nice looking phone - a touch on the pricey side but I wouldn't mind one.
