The Pixel is still the Pixel. It's kind
00:00:02
of a finished thought for now.
00:00:03
Yeah.
00:00:04
Like they're not doing any massive
00:00:05
revamp of like, oh, we did massive
00:00:07
camera sensors or really fast charging
00:00:09
or any they're not doing anything crazy.
00:00:11
It's still got the software. It's still
00:00:12
got a pretty good camera with a lot of
00:00:14
AI stuff. They're trying to make the
00:00:16
leap to the masses with this phone. And
00:00:19
this year that looked like Jimmy Fallon,
00:00:22
Jonas Brothers, Pixel Snap to be Mag
00:00:25
Safe, like directly bringing in normal
00:00:28
people who may probably already have an
00:00:30
iPhone and showing them all of the ways
00:00:33
that it's easy to switch to this phone.
00:00:35
It's like, okay, I wish the Tensor G5
00:00:37
was super powerful and like turned over
00:00:39
a new Leaf and suddenly has an awesome
00:00:41
GPU, but it's just not. And that's a
00:00:44
bummer for people like me, but it's
00:00:46
still fine.
