For me it was 2 to 3 weeks of battery. Smartphone batteries are just
miserable, and I'd happily take a heavier & thicker phone to get better
battery life.

There are plenty of well-designed battery/protective enclosures for
smartphones. Thus those who want the extra battery life and are prepared to
deal with the extra thickness and weight can do so.

Now if you want 2 weeks of battery life on a pocket supercomputer, well, good
luck with that.

I can't help but wonder if they're co-opting the Pixel name to push ChromeOS
on a phone form factor with the built-in Android runtime.

It seems _very_ unlikely, but there's a part of me still wondering.

Check out their efforts on the new Fuschia OS. I'm fairly certain it's
Google's attempt to design a mobile OS from scratch to get rid of some of the
overhead introduced into Android as a function of it being a Linux derivative.
