Google seems to be forgetting that they have their own Pixel line up and these days we hear other phones getting severity updates before us and now this. What is the point of paying so much for a Google phone??
No Google assistant ambient mode for pixels? What's wrong with Google??

Much hyperbole here.
Last month, Google if I recall correctly went off script and released the factory images and OTA updates for the Pixel devices on the first of the month, rather than the first Tuesday of the month. So no, Google hasn't forgotten the Pixels and just looking at the factory image or OTA pages would reveal this. Now, what is the point of paying so much for a Google device? There isn't much point to it since Google routinely discounts their devices, beginning about a month after launch. After all it's just a smartphone. However, the people who tend to purchase Pixels are early adopters or people wanting Android as Google intended it, unaltered by a device manufacturer or carrier. I fall into the second category, as I waited six months before buying mine.

No sir not really. I'm talking about features as well as updates. One plus got it before pixels last month if I'm not wrong.
I think people buy Pixel because of the get the updates first, new features by Google first, has an amazing camera, stock Android and many more reasons. The reason is not just limited to stock Android. Also every manufacturer discounts their phones over the time. Google is no different and of course pixels don't have the success Google hoped. There are so many reasons for that. Anyway that's a topic for another day
You're wrong. Your post is hyperbole because of it.
Your opinion is noted. Having owned Google devices for four years now the updates are a big part of it, but the other part of it is having Android as Google intended it. Note, I do NOT say "stock" because Pixel devices are skinned and have their own UI not found in AOSP.
Okay agreed lol to some extent. I might be over reacting probably because i liked the ambient mode so much.
Yeah true not stock but Google version of Android. But will have to wait for this feature to come to Pixel devices now as Google said somewhere in future they will provide it. Doesn't make any sense to me though

Would like to know your thoughts about it as well.
Pixel 4 = NEW PHONE, latest security updates and features before other new phones
Pixel 2 = 2 YEAR OLD PHONE, latest security updates and features before other 2 year old phones
So they haven't forgot us.
Isn't that obvious that Pixel is suppose to get all these updates first but things are changing and i was talking about this ambient feature.
Your Pixel is 2 years old, I think the Pixel 3 owners should be first in line to moan they are not getting things new phones get
So what ?? I mean if it was some other OEM i wouldn't really be bothered, Google competes with ios. So the standards should be same.Your Pixel is 2 years old, I think the Pixel 3 owners should be first in line to moan they are not getting things new phones get
Lets moan together lol
but i heard 3xl got the Live caption as well, which is really good. I wish 2xl gets it maybe sometimes in the future.
