Pixel 4 doesn't seem all that special though? If they end up doing a Pixel 4a, that might be worthwhile. I'm just not so certain about the $999+ price point of phones anymore, especially since the Pixel 3 went on sale a few months after release.
I had to RMA my Pixel 3 about 2 weeks ago as the battery was starting to bulge (nearly at the end of the 1yr warranty), so my refurbished Pixel 3 kind of feels "new" again. Still has some minor screen scratches in the top right corner though like I did to mine, must be a common place for it to happen.
I'll keep an eye on my Pixel 3 then! It is a used one, but in perfect shape, so far so good. Bluetooth range doesn't seem as good as my Pixel 2 though with my Pebble dropping connection in certain parts of the house, oddly enough.
I agree about the price for the Pixel 4, or any other flagship phone for that matter. That is why I have taken the stay at least a year behind in my Pixels and buying used. $475 CAD for a year old phone is much more reasonable in my mind, and off contract. I like the camera improvements on the 4 as I do take a lot of pics on my phone. The astronomy night light features is pretty impressive, even if I likely wouldn't use it much. But I am certainly not sold on the whole motion sense aspect. I think I'd turn that off day one.
I thought it was funny too in the presentation when the lady said Pixel 4 is the first smartphone with radar sensors! And was met with utter silence
I think even the media are getting to the "meh... whatever..." point with smartphones. Honestly, what else do we really
need them to do that would be exciting?
You're right. Nest WiFi is pretty impressive. The whole Nest ecosystem is neat, in that cool tech, creepy vibe kind of way. Home automation is something some of the folks on here are super adept at but I can certainly see Nest making more market penetration into the general user market the easier it gets to set up.
Those Nest monthly plans they mentioned, those available in Canada or is that a US thing?
