I think that’s giving them a bit too much credit. Also, when I say design I don’t mean they have to ditch the visor, which honestly is the only unique thing they have. I’m saying do something different with the camera punch hole like Samsung did when they put a screen in front of it, or add repairability features, or mag charging, etc.
You’re right that we’re in an era of every phone being a flat slab so you want some visual differentiator, and I honestly think the visor (back when it was all black like the pixel 6) looks better than the exposed grouping of cameras the iPhone has. They can keep that overall look for all I care, just… try. Try to do something interesting or novel, or don’t ask flagship prices.
I think its a good indicator that Google isn’t doing anything crazy with this device and trying to keep it mainstream, this suggest they are serious about it. But I get your point love the time when every one was trying something new something different
