The head on it! And chin!

Hopefully Google will surprise us all that all these leaks have been planned and the real devices have far more reasonable bezels.

Carphone warehouse has their sales pages for the two phones online this morning but they've disappeared now. Back tomorrow no doubt

What's this obsession with bezels? I really don't get it. It's a phone, not a fashion accessory.

it's nothing to do with fashion. Reducing the bezel ratio means either

A) More space for a larger screen on the same sized phone or

A smaller phone

Both of which are very practical

The S7 Edge for example has a 5.5" screen but because the bezel ratio is so good, the handset itself is basically the same size as most 5.2" phones.

....but in order to achieve that, you have a curved screen which is rubbish. You also have the problem of your hand hitting off the curve. I dunno if the positives really outweigh the negatives.

It's going to cost a bloody fortune isn't it?

Really need to upgrade my trusty battered Nexus 5 but I don't think I'll be affording one of these for a while...

The Edge was just one example. The normal S7 and the Oneplus 3 both have better bezel vs screen than the Pixel's look to have, AND they have buttons on the front, too.

There are no negatives to less bezel, only positives.

I saw pics of the 4k Chromecast over the weekend, but can't remember for the life of me where

When you say handset version of Android Auto, do you mean that I won't need it built into the car?

I paid €250 for my Nexus 5 new. I won't be paying more for my next phone, not when there are so many good chinese phones.

Same boat as yourself, love the size and fact there's no bloatware on nexus,
if this is crazy prices, what would you think of getting chinese style?

Xiaomi Mi5s is a def contender here

Let's say that button/sensor is a mouse scroller, would the only way to be able to use it on a screen is with a chromecast?

Has it's power to function as a chrome book?

If true, I'd say it's usable via Miracast dongle or via smart TV also...

I don't see why it couldn't be like a Chromebook if they are going down the route of OS merges...

Security seems fine, updates...they have their own updates as its a custom version of android miui, bit hit and miss from what i hear.....you get them but not as fast as if you have nexus etc...

More confirmation of the outrageous prices. I'm still hoping they are all wrong or the search for a new phone continues.

These aren't meant to be budget Nexus devices anymore they are changing their tactics to targeting the higher end market hence the name change and the prices. The Pixel tablet was not cheap so it's not really a surprise that the Pixel phones are also not cheap.

I'd imagine they will push for carriers to sell the devices and subsidise the cost, of course that probably means we'll be left out in the cold with Irish carriers.

Also has anyone got a link to where we can watch the event?

I dont see any conformation just a best guess, those could be the price or could be way off lets just wait and see. Im hoping the price wont ruin this phone but sadly it looks like it will

I like the blue colour but leaving the front white ruins it and make it even more iphone looking and cheap ass 5c iphone looking....

Any way 5pm is decades away while i'm in work so ill try not to think to much about it until then. Im keeping my hopes high but I have a feeling ill be buying sony or huawei for my next phone ...

Why do all coloured phones, have to have a white fascia on the screen part??
That blue on white looks fcuking disgusting :mad:

*vomits everywhere* :pac:

The likes of Google, Apple etc have to move upmarket. Chinese manufactures are starting to get really established. It's something when Jess Kelly on Newstalk describes the Elephone as one of the very best phones that you can buy.

As a Laoisman, I think it is beautiful.
Delighted to see Google taking an interest in the oft forgotten Laois supporter.

I think that Google has built a following for their phones , a following that I don't think will follow them up the high price path .
