Why Pixel Phones are No Better than Nexus Phones?

- Embarrassing Digital Assistant - Google Assistant is an exclusive-feature of the phone yet it is regarded by some as embarrassing because of the high error rate. According to CNET, it can now control smart home, still it doesn't make any difference at all.
- Not Waterproof - since Pixel phones came with a high price, netizens are expected to see features such as waterproof and dustproof only to find out that there are none. For this matter, Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 are the only smartphones that are worth their prices.
