Pretty insightful to compare this to Apple's recent release where they've introduced a brand-new input method, in addition to the usual spec-bump.

Meanwhile, Google is still building phones that are trying to keep up with what are essentially PC hardware specs (memory, clock speed, etc). I'm amazed they think that protrusion for the camera is cool, too.

There are obviously two very different mentalities inside these companies. How do customers get excited about buying a phone that was obsolete months ago?
