Otherwise, in no world is $1100 for a cell phone anything but expensive.
Yes, iPhones are also expensive.

The other thing I would say is that Pixels are just not high end hardware and they masquerade like they are. They get these insane launch sale deals like we are seeing now and the whole reason for that is because they aren’t competitive with true flagships.
It’s just not really a flagship phone in terms of processor performance.
I know Samsung has a lot more of their garbage software on it but I think if I was in the Android market I’d probably be inclined for a Samsung device over a Pixel. If I lived in Europe or Asia I’d be looking at something Chinese that’s not sold in the US market. Companies like Xiaomi and Huawei make way better phones than Google.
It’s $1800; they are applying trade-in and some sort of GoogleFi discount to get it down to $1100.
Nearly $2000 after tax for a phone is fucking absurd.
