Google is making the same mistakes with the watch, fold, and tablet that they originally made when they rebranded the Nexus to the Pixel. Thinking just making it expensive and the customers will just buy it because reasons.
They seem to have come off of that delusion with most of the phones.
They have not provided a reason to buy their expensive, but middle of the road hardware, when cheaper and competitive options already exist from Samsung and Apple in these segments.
Unless someone just dislikes Apple or Samsungs offering what would make the Google offering stand out?
I think, kind of just that. I personally do not want a Samsung device because I really don’t like their bloatware nor how they try to build an entire ecosystem on top of Android, and I’ve been already trying to move away from iPad because of the limits of iPadOS.
Google’s devices just strike out to me as being everything I want really. Minimal bloat, a nice hardware design, a bootloader that’s unlockable, an acceptable quality camera, and a predictable hardware support cycle. Yeah, there’s definitely improvements that need to be done, but so far, but the Android tablet market is already pretty limited so Google just feels like a safe bet to me.
