when Samsung does it, it's bloatware.

when Google does it, it's official.

like their 17 different messaging apps...

Agreed. Stock Android feels completely barebones compared to touchwiz. And newer touchwiz even lets you disable most of the additional features if you want.

 

[DietRob]

Sweet. Best thing about having a pixel is immediate updates.

Got a name yet? I'm thinking Oatmeal cookie. Or orange sherbet

 

[……forgetit]

I completely missed that this is happening. Any chances of the pixel 2 making an appearance?

 

[Erv]

will they reveal the new pixel here or is that another event?

Yep. Got a stock android phone and a Touchwiz. Stock android is a bit crap in comparison.

Most of those aren't on my phone by default and the ones that are can be deleted and don't slow down my phone.

 

[Socivol]

Didn't they already reveal this at I/O or am I missing something?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Google showed off some of the features, not all of them, and they did not announce the name or final release date.

We are going to get all of that today, plus tons of corporate talk about their partnership with Oreo.

 

[GK86]

Didn't they already reveal this at I/O or am I missing something?

I think today is the launch of it.

 

[Oynox]

My money is on Oreo.

I think it is kind of confirmed through MKBHD

 

[Vyse The Legend]

EvLeaks... leaked/confirmed it, not MKBHD. MKBHD doesn't get scoops.

 

[celebi23]

[BoboBrazil]

Android 8.0 gets a 8 second event.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Lol google

 

[snacknuts]

Well, if that was it, that would explain why The Verge doesn't have a link for a live blog.

 

[Kthulhu]

Lame as hell. Why hype it up like this?

 

[GK86]

Wait, it's over? Lol

 

[Vanillalite]

That was underwhelming...

I was on DP 4 and just got the OTA on Pixel XL.

 

[ArchAngel]

Pixel or Pixel XL?

XL, Beta to final update. But I got an installation error. I'm resetting my phone and update then, as I always do after betas.

Isn't "oreo" a brand name? Straight up product placement OS level now.

 

[digitalrelic]

They did the same thing with Android Kit Kat four years ago.

 

[Lulu23]

Yeah cuz KitKat wasn't.

 

[lcbrus]

I'm not a fan of this. Didn't like when they did it with Android KitKat (Android.4.4) either.
