“We started with what is the ideal mobile experience from Google and what things that would come together to give you that,” said Chris Breithaupt, Project Manager for Pixel. “There’s the device, peace of mind that if you drop your phone you can get an easy repair, and then there are these mobile services, YouTube streaming and music streaming, apps and games.
