In the Quartz review, Mike Murphy gives the Google Pixel its due, highlighting the camera, digital video image stabilization, endless photo space, rapid charging as positives, but then read the rest of the article.
The Google Pixel has an excellent camera, but not much else
I give up. Why does having the headphone jack on the TOP of the phone make the phone come out upside down? Isn’t it the opposite? If I have headphones plugged in and throw my phone in my pocket, it’s going bottom down, top up.
If it were the opposite, wouldn’t it be upside down?
The issue is that your fingers point downward when you reach into your pocket to grab your phone, but then turn upward when you raise the phone to actually use it. So even though the phone actually comes out of the pocket rightside up when the headphone jack is on the top, you end up having to adjust your grip when you raise the phone to actually use it. By contrast, putting the jack on the bottom means the phone comes out of your pocket upside down, but then automatically turns rightside up when you raise it up to use it without any need to adjust your grip.
I can see it. I personally don’t think I care either way, but I can see it.
Pixel = mash-up of trailing-edge technology.
