I'm amazed Google didn't go to Sony to make a nexus tablet. They're the only major OEM giving android tablets their full attention, the Xperia Z4 Tablet was incredible, its only issues being a lack of a U.S. release, snapdragon 810, and a somewhat lacking keyboard. If Google got them to make a nexus with the X1, 4GB RAM, and improved keyboard this would have been a day 1 buy for me. Guess I'll just have to wait until the Z6 tablet.

I bought one Pixel C and I am loving it, but I wouldn't ever bought one if Sony were or was involve in it, I dump Sony years ago, they are the worst company you can buy stuff from, they have the highest refurbished items on the market, why is that? they make crap

why "Missed Opportunity" ? it's a Pixel not a Nexus and it was supposed to be running ChromeOS and be the very first ChromeOS tablet but they shipped it with Android instead for reasons we will know at Google I/O 2016 in may/june.

Do you think the Pixel is bad and would have been better if Sony was involved ? You think Sony can deliver a better tablet than the Pixel C. I doubt that. The Pixel C hardware is quite phenomenal actually, except may be for the wifi antennas. And the software would have been the same anyway,aka Android (plus the Sony bloatware).

Well yes and no, Pixel devices are made by Quanta , a large OEM like Foxconn does for Apple. These are not made in Google owned facilities in Taiwan/China.
They are devices DESIGNED by Google.
Also companies like that aren't OEM's they are referred to as ODM's since we are getting technical here.
