Google survey shows price points of $349 for "Pixel" and $699 for "Premium Pixel"

I got this survey this morning. Screenshot here: [https://imgur.com/Tt8rLHu](https://imgur.com/Tt8rLHu)

It appears to confirm the $349 news the other day, show a pricepoint for th more expensive pixel. It may also indicate a new naming strategy (but likely just refers to 4a and 5)....

Dear mobile phone companies, optic stabilization is key.

We see that one of the things that people want in a phone is a good camera. We are seeing great improvements in that field, but you are spending your money in things that users are beginning to know that are useless.

Grab the money that is going to get more megapixels and spend it in important improvements, like optic stabilization. That is something useful, because being realistics, the software stabilization used in mid and low smartphones is garbage.

Just an opinion of a mid-range smartphon...

Is it too late for RCS?

Am I the only one who thinks that it is a bit too late for RCS chat? At this point all Android users have basically chosen their messaging app of choice.
