INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Obvious for a moment: The Pixel 4 is a phone
That much is plainly apparent — right?Hang on, though, because there's a twist: This week's Google event, at which the Pixel 4 was
officially launched, wasn't really about phones
It wasn't about laptops, either
At its core, it wasn't about any hardware, in fact, despite being a "hardware event" in every outward sense.Sure, the physical products may
have taken center stage, but those gadgets are ultimately all just vessels for what Google's really trying to sell us
This week's event was actually all about the Google ecosystem — and, more specifically, the Google Assistant that serves as the nucleus
of almost everything Google introduced.
