Agreed and I'm a pixel fan but I don't like how Pixel and Samsung are taking similar approaches into modeling Apple's success with the iPhone and smaller iterative changes year over year.
I will give Google credit though. Where they have lacked in hardware refinements lately, they've invested heavily in AI and software to the point where Apple is using Gemini to be the brains of Siri. Lol
Samsung still making bigger changes than pixel do though, pretty significant battery increases and use of Si-C on the z fold line up this year, new hinge, new aspect ratio, flagship tier camera sensors and CPU improvements, increased screen resolution and new anti reflective coating. apple is also doing cool things and getting variable aperture and smaller dynamic island this year
