Folks, work on your sarcasmeter.
I made a few claims which were ridiculous (but which I've heard from other people) and easily proven to be wrong. I also used hyperbolic language laden with emotional pleas.
A phone is a phone. Pity the ignorant who can't make the difference between two vacuum cleaners.

Have you ever seen an A9 picture at all? The bottom bezel on that phone is bigger than the top one. The Pixels' are symmetrical and their earpiece is smaller. Next time don't be so ignorant.

... moreEven mainstream brands uses parts from other manufacturers...
Such as Sony's camera modules and Samsung's processors...
So, many of the main component (AMOLED display, UFS storage and RAM) is made by Samsung and it is build by HTC with HTC battery. So this means that Google only handles the software side of things right?
Killero, 22 Oct 2016Maybe because your phone is a refurbish one and was already opened in the past.nope it was still sealed from CPW, and it was a late model limited edition colour.

Killero, 21 Oct 2016Why do you need to repair a HTC phone if their built quality is the best **question mark**while it is, they still have issues, like the adhesive in my one M8 came loose so it need to be replaced, and they were still susceptible to broken micro-B connectors

Google is cheating us by buying OFF THE SHELF (unlike all the other Android flagship phones, which totally make all their own parts and this justify their iPhone pricing).
What matters is how things appear, how we feel about the company and the company's broken guarantees regarding little to no profit (even though the process of the nexus devices have fluctuated drastically from year to year, but NO MATTER!), top of the line devices offered every year.
So drinking the Gool-Aid.

ashyjay92, 21 Oct 2016HTC must be feeling sick, as they never score higher than a 4.Why do you need to repair a HTC phone if their built quality is the best **question mark**

A Quasimodo phone
The device is good so I wouldn't general expect repairs. I have never had to repair a HTC phone ever. we have 23 of them in the business altogether. The A9 being the latest batch. Very happy so he tear down isn't really of interest as I am sure Pixel like other premiums are fine and in any case is the manufacturers issue in the warranty period.
The internals of this phone are well designed. Considering the fact that HTC is the OEM, I assumed the internals would be like its One series. Trust me, tearing down a recent HTC flagship is not for the faint hearted ! Kudos to Google and HTC. Hopefully HTC takes a page out of this internal design.
So glad that the battery is made by HTC instead of Samsung with current smell in air. Don't know what exactly was Google's part in this phone, design and idea probably.
