“One time we launched a tablet which didn’t have all the compelling apps that Apple had, and it was listed as a shortcoming and affected our success in the market.”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai admitting one of Google’s many failed tablets over the years in order to help build a market definition that Google competes with Apple rather than other Android-based companies.

Pichai also says that “Samsung gets to keep the profit from these phones” and that “we give revshare not just to Samsung, but to telecom carriers in certain cases who take the product to market, which is not true in Apple’s case.”

He says Android makes smartphones more affordable than Apple does as well.
