My point is that a few new smartphone companies have been outpacing the giants in Korea and China by offering similarly spec'd hardware at half the price -- particularly Xiaomi. A few of the thirteen new smartphone companies in Asia poised to compete with Samsung might be operating at a loss, but probably not all. Those companies make companies like Samsung appear to be pursuing luxury pricing.

Meanwhile, Google just announced a lot of new hardware and software. I'll say it a second time:

Why is everyone obsessed with talking about the price of the Nexus 6?

I'm more interested in the Nexus 9, which is far less expensive than the N6 despite its size (though the screen dimensions seem odd).

And as I said, HTC versions of the Nexus line are going to be fun to play with whether you actually want to buy those devices or not.

I'm shocked -- shocked, I tell you -- at the lack of technofetishism on this thread.
