    The bar is barely 2 years old but IMO has become a great distinguishing characteristic for Pixels already. Also not having a bump makes it an actual feature as phone doesn’t go all wibbly wobbly when kept down

      I do like the bar. It’s a step in the right direction instead of just bumps or lenses sitting there.

      It’s weird to me they don’t just make phones wedge shaped. Told the screen towards you when laying on the table. Let’s flat. Protects the lenses. Provides more space for whatever. Doesn’t drastically make the phone bigger. It’s a win I’m all cases as far as I’m concerned.

        The OG Pixel was slightly wedge shaped for this exact reason. They gave up on the design in the Pixel 2.

        Immediately much more thicker. Don’t see why they don’t build in nintendo-switch-style kickstands however

      Pixel’s brand identity was two tone backs.

      Google slowly shrunk it until it stopped existing in 2019 with the Pixel 4. No idea why. It was iconic, and no one else was doing it.

      I don’t like it, but then again, I have the whole phone in a cover that makes it flush again, so it doesn’t actually matter to me.
