   Bet it does because the high end Samsungs always have done.

   How odd that Samsung hasn’t done that.

   What actually makes apple that is that they don’t bother   
   with low end phones/phablets and tablets or ipods either.   
      
   > So Apple customers won't change over to the Pixel.   
      
   Even Google doesn’t expect that they will. That’s not what its about.

   How odd that those who buy the high end Samsungs do.

   They obvious don’t need to. Have a look at the high end Samsungs sometime.

   To pig ignorant fools like you, anyway.

   And they will have noticed the high end Samsungs,

   You don’t know that either. Clearly what 'plan'   
   they had with Nexus didn’t work out very well.
