I can see Pixel being highly successful for Google in the long run, and the Pixel competes very strongly with the iPhone 7, but I believe it will be hard to convince everyday customers to purchase a Pixel while the brand is new and unfamiliar. As an Android fan I’d comfortably pick it over the iPhone at the same price, but we'll let the market decide a few months from now how sales react to Google's offering.
