Google Will Release a New Pixel Phone this Year (engadget.com)

Posted by msmash on Friday March 3, 2017 @02:06AM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.

An anonymous reader shares an Engadget report: The Pixel represents Google's first proper foray into the smartphone market, allowing the search giant to directly compete with Apple and cement Android's reputation as a premium platform. While sales have been steady, it's been particularly hard to get a hold of one due to component shortages. That hasn't dampened the company's plans to continue investing in its own smartphones, though: according to Rick Osterloh, VP of Hardware at Google, there will be a successor to the Pixel this year and will continue to carry a high price tag.

Here's a great opportunity to pick up a sizable new market.
A bunch of us are waiting for a new truly flagship device with a replaceable battery, and a MicroSD slot. We have a lot of money to spend on this device, and the only competition right now is the LG V20.
