Picking your brain on Pixel Brand future

Hey guys I just want to pick your brains about Google strategy and philosophy about pixels.

The idea is to make a smartphone that is a useful companion to the user via a bunch of web products used everyday ( search, video, social media etc ...) and some smart features.

Based on the pixel history , where do you see the brand in 3+ years .

Will photography be the main reason to switch to pixel? - all OEM are really close right now

Will google continue its hybrid AI approach of on-device + cloud ? - Token price is becoming more and more expensive

What about the UI? Everyone is converging toward the same goal. A more personalized UI .

Personally I think at some point google will need a clear differentiator for it's brand. Something that is really hard to copy not just software.

The other big brands are not just spectators , they are aggressively implementing the best things about pixels phones .

Computational photography, AI features and a cleaner UI. All those brands moved towards those standards and are waiting on Google to make more of the AI sauce to license and implement.
