It is important to follow your dreams and heart… Do something that excites you…

Mumbai, October 26: It is important to follow your dreams and heart… Do something that excites you… says Google CEO while answering a question “what gating factors stop the Google Pixel lineup from being more successful. While well-reviewed, the product has yet to achieve any similar dominance to Apple’s iPhone or the latest Samsung Galaxy?”

 

Pichai answered the question by emphasizing that this is only Google’s third-generation of hardware. He notes how during the first two years Google was “struggling to meet the early demand.” In contrast, Pixel 3 stock seems to be readily available.

In talking about this year’s hardware, the CEO noted how 2018 is the first time the company built the phones end-to-end, in a near confirmation that Foxconn is manufacturing rather than HTC or LG in prior years. From that new starting point, Google is “ramping up.”

More broadly, Google is seeing good year-over-year progress with the Pixel line, with Pichai specifically citing sales and reviews. He does end on the gating factors, again naming production and manufacturing, as well as the go-to-market strategy.

However, he ends the comment with a note saying Google is “making progress” in each of those dimensions. We should see the first indicators of how successful the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are — alongside the Google Home Hub, Pixel Slate, and the rest of Google’s existing hardware — next quarter after the holiday shopping season.
