The OnePlus 7 Pro has the Pixel 3 in several ways, including battery life and memory management. The latter being a serious problem for Google's flagship smartphone.
On the other hand, OnePlus – and & nbsp; apparently no other company – can not compete with Google's camera technology. But Google can not use its super snapper forever, and it does not crush the other problems of Pixel 3. So how can Google improve Pixel 3 and beat one of its main Android competitors, the OnePlus 7 Pro?
Deals
The price quickly becomes the new battlefield, and the OnePlus 7 Pro wins for the moment. It's less and less justified to charge a device fee greater than or equal to $ 1,000 (Google does not really do it), but OnePlus has shown not necessary.
The Pixel range of Google is one of the cheapest range of the market, and is already under the two major manufacturers of smartphones – Samsung and Apple. But Google will have to think about how it reduces the cost of its Pixel 4S – it wants to be competitive.
Pixel devices are not foreign to the dramatic price cuts either. The Pixel 3 was updated a month after its launch, in addition to the price cuts of Black Friday and Christmas (alongside intermittent offers in the last 6 months). Maybe Google should incorporate this into the introductory price?
In addition, Google has a host of other brilliant gadgets at its disposal, it can be combined with a Pixel phone. This had already been done with the Google Store 3A Pixel, selling a Nest with the midrange device. A free hub Pixel + Nest would be a very attractive market and would better anchor buyers in the ecosystem of Google.
Basic improvements
A potential consequence of the Huawei Android ban could be that consumers feel a little less comfortable about the purchase of less established Android devices, especially from a Chinese manufacturer. Of course, the current situation is specific to Huawei, but this may not have filtered to the general public. The day we heard the news from Huawei, & nbsp; I've seen a handful of tweets asking "What about OnePlus?"
If trends move in this direction, more established names – such as Google – will benefit. But Google needs to make many basic improvements to its current high-end Pixel devices if it wants to capture the OnePlus fans. Namely, solve memory management problems, still in the news despite the updates, which makes the phone too slow and unusable in some cases.
In addition, the low battery life of Pixel 3 and 3XL is not enough. Pixel 2 had the longest life I've ever used on a smartphone with similar power consumption, but no matter what Google's combination of specifications and software for Pixel 2, it does not translate Pixel 3 Given the battery, the price and the camera are the first three more important features for consumers, Google is well positioned to capture the market ceded by Huawei and, ultimately, to get rid of OnePlus. & nbsp;
