5 reasons not to buy the Google Pixel (and 3 reasons to snag it)

Google has some really tough competition. Maybe the Pixel phone isn't up to snuff.

So many more reasons to buy it. Unlimited photo storage, actually has a headphone jack, cool design, amazing battery life, ip 53 water and dust resistant (get your fact straight cnet), apple doesnt have wireless charging yet either (nobody is crying about that), fastest charging technology ever, highest rated camera, has dual speakers, good resale value since it's made by google. This phone is going to be amazing.

So waterproofing is a big deal now that iPhone has it. I mean, dang, the iPhone just got waterproofing for the 1st time ever a month ago. Sheesh!! Next reviewers are going to be saying, don't buy the Pixel because it comes with a headphone jack. Smh.

normally, i dont even watch your vids, but i like your shirt, so i have you on mute

Apple = no wireless charging, no expansion, no QWHD, no stylus, no split screen. so rotten but CNet down plays, again.

[drcolwell]

Wireless charging right now is shit anyways

[chydi]

First of all, wireless charging doesn't even make any sense right now.
Second, we don't know if it isn't water resistant just yet.
I'd rather get this than any other android device out there.

It's baffling how CNet makes a "X reasons not to buy" video about basically every phone not branded by apple. Its insane.

[marctorres]

reason not to buy pixel.... because i dont have job

[MikkoHaavisto]

All of the 5 reasons suggest you should buy the Samsung S7.

[GuyRobertKernisant]

What about free unlimited uncompressed photos and videos cloud storage.

[AbhiThakkar]

as far as OIS is concerned, Google has some software based image stabilisation. so check that out CNET.

[TheTechnoHash]

They said the same with Nexus devices, where is the latest update? Keeping the features of software that can easily be implemented into Nexus 6P's software update are cut off?

[music-ffjj]

don't you know the pixel phones are IP53 water and dust resistance, man.

[arsenaldavebass]

I'm not buying it, but image stabilization was a feature explained during the event. Don't know if it is just for video.

[sangyoonsim]

They discarded Nexus on updates, so why not pixel?

[MrAlbashiri]

Are you sure about the optical image stabilization???

[YawnPLUR]

The Pixel has IP 53 water resistance so ya'll need to get your shit straight, it has gyroscope based image stabilization which is better so?!? Everyone also crying about no expandable storage but it's unlimited cloud storage which is slept on

[oOJakkeOo]

So Google went out and officially said that the Pixel camera is the best phone camera on the market.... but it doesn't have OIS... how is it the best camera?

[urooz]

you always get the updates first. two words, Nexus 5.

[OyoFesso]

the iphone 7 plus water resistance literally nothing. my friend tested it and his phone shut drowned from a splash of water didnt work for 6 hours until it drained iut
