Overall it's great to have a phone with foundational philosophy of keeping it clean, open and play with others nicely.
The biggest missing story is apps. Can I use Google Maps, Drive, Gmail, Now etc? Out of the box? Will Google Play Store be fully supported? Without all these apps, phone is just beautiful thin brick. Also, burning question is how this would stand up against Pixel.vNext which seems to have many (but not all) of same philosophies.
From your interesting bits, this might just as well be a Xiaomi Mi Mix, wich has been out for a while and is getting cloned already. No B/W sensor though (and expansion pins, but I couldn't care less).
It also has a ceramic body and does hold up really well in drop tests.
- Dual cameras on back with depth estimation
- True monochrome images (digital B&W photography!)
- USB-C port
- Fingerprint sensor
- "full" display
