The Pixel limitations has been my main concern as well.

The good news is that they are actively working on developing their own hardware. The bad news is that it’s been delayed. But I’m watching closely.

That article speculates the OEM is Samsung but I find that very hard to believe. Samsung is totally beholden to Google. The discontinued their own DeX and Tizen smartwatch OS for Google alternatives and as for their "AI" features most of them actually come from Google.

Google would not allow this and they're way too entangled with Samsung.

Interesting article. Let's now hope for a reasonable price, even though it will be challenging for their team. It would be a shame if the target audience is limited to overpaid nerds like most of HN.
