I don’t have a source (and am not who you replied to), but it could be that Google sells Pixels at a slight loss in an effort to get more people on the platform. Maybe not loss, in the traditional sense, but more so in that they build getting people into the Google ecosystem into the price.
For sure, and that’s where I thought they were going with it. But unless there is a source for how much it cost google to have the phone made, and how much they’re expecting to make back with users in their ecosystem, it’s just guess work.
I’d probably get a pixel for my next phone if this were the case, but I’d want to be sure.
Buying a Google phone and then removing all the Google stuff actually costs Google money.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this were the case, but is there a source for this?
