Is it a surprise if it’s two months in advance and around the same time every Pixel has been launched?

Desktop mode or I'll wait another year.

Genuinely yes. I was just saying that I'll get a used cheap pixel 6 for Graphene OS and then get a nice flagship when they add desktop mode.

Maybe they think they have the one up on Apple this year and want to lead rather than follow.. I hope it is something exciting, even though I am an iPhone user. Any innovation is great though I am guessing it will be AI related

I personally wouldn't expect massive innovation.

Smartphones have been around for ~20 years, it's a very mature product category.

"AI" tech does have potential in the smartphone space, but I thing the useful use cases are going to overshadowed by the hype.

Is the Pixel Fold 2 off the table? Doesn't seem like that really took off as they wanted it to.

I wonder why?

Looks at price tag...

Yep, that's why
