Google’s Long HARDware Road

Google is the new kid on the block with smartphones, but they are being treated like an established player. Their sales of the Pixel 1 and likely sales of Pixel 2/XL are likely to be very small, maybe 5m units total in 2018, but because they are Google, they are being taken seriously. While I completely agree Google should not be graded on a curve, and many media outlets are slowly waking up to this reality, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for at least the next few years.
