They both locked enough people in an ecosystem where they control the competition well enough that they can justify asking twice as much as their device is worth...

I was hoping to upgrade a nexus 5 I paid 399 CAD and this year they want to charge 899 CAD for the base model!

This is insane and I just ordered a OnePlus 3 (519CAD) hoping that we'll see more competition instead of reliving the 90s desktop OS situation...

I just ordered a OnePlus 3 today too (was upgrading also from a Nexus 5) after being disappointed by the Pixel's price. Funny coincidence.

(BTW the LeEco Le Pro 3 also seemed good, has slightly higher specs that OnePlus 3.)
