Still waiting on Pixel... :D. Google Assistant seems pretty neat though. I'm impressed by the part where it can store stuff for you like lock combos (of course I wouldn't put key passwords in Google Assistant but it could be useful for some things.

 

EDIT: Holy crap I just realized nearly 250,000 people are watching the live stream right now...

 

Double EDIT: They're announcing Pixel now :P 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Wow there's no camera bump... That's pretty neat. It also seems like Google is the only one behind this phone. No HTC, LG, or anything else behind the hardware.

I'm guessing the unlocked version will be the same price as the Verizon-exclusive version?
