   I have bought a few "Google" phones, so I agree with you.   
      
   Up until now, the Google phones were fine for "cheap-er" Android   
   good-quality phones such as the Nexus line and Moto line of phones.   
      
   They were a good price:performance ratio; but, like you, I see the Pixel   
   has having an unconscionably *low* price:performance ratio, akin to the   
   dismal price:performance ratio of an Apple iPhone.   
      
   Therefore, the Pixel line of phones is not for you or for me, but for those   
   less discerning than we.
