When Nexus 5 and Nexus vii 2022 came into the market, it probably ushered an era where manufacturers probably got thinking that they tin can create a heck of momentum in sales if they created the platonic toll/performance product.

Unfortunately, Google and its partner HTC before long made a grave mistake; by releasing a powerful tablet, only for it to be priced at such a point that consumers probably thought that they would be better off with something else.

The same mistake was carried out with Nexus 6, and while the phone did come with impressive hardware and a gargantuan sized screen, its cost tag was definitely something that a regular consumer would not be attracted past. Correct now, thanks to heavy discounts being applied on the smartphone, Nexus half dozen looks more like a viable choice for those who want to experience stock Android, but do not want to spend a fortune in doing so.

With Nexus nine out of the picture, Pixel C, the successor to the Nexus 9 will accept to go along with whatsoever momentum the 8.ix-inch slate left behind. One matter that nosotros specially like about Pixel C is the fact that you practice not need a kickstand to continue the keyboard in a fixed position, which is exactly the contrary of what Microsoft did when it decided to bridge the functionality gap betwixt tablets and laptops with the announcement of Surface Pro four.
