Unpicking the Pixel puzzle: Why Google is struggling to impress

Beta?

EVERYTHING at Google seems to be Beta till junked.

Android still feels like a Beta of Windows 3.0 but with tiles instead of Program Manager (and no decent File Manager unless you buy one).

The Pixel is a niche product aimed at rich Google fans.

Tesco sells plenty of decent Android smart phones at €100 to €200, pay as you go, only locked to carrier for 9 months. Some even have SD card slots and 3.5mm sockets.

The $500 to $1000+ phones are a waste of money.

If you want a really significantly better camera, you need a decent dedicated camera with a viewfinder. ANY smart phone is very limited on optical zoom, aperture, low light performance and ability to actually hold it while photographing.
