Google Pixel 2 for Business Use?

I have to start off by saying I am surprised at the specs or lack of them right out of the box I wouldn’t buy because there is no value there and no compelling features over the average phone. The entry level 5″ model comes in at $899 and the XL 6″ at $1159 USD. What is especially disappointing is the lackluster 4GB of RAM in both models this is quite shocking for a flagship phone I would say it is a low-end phone in terms of RAM which is a big deal to me and I think most people. If you don’t have enough RAM your apps will slow down and start swapping. There is also nothing that I see is groundbreaking in this phone compared to the iPhone-X.
If this phone came in at a budget price I’d say it would be a good value but like many, I am comparing it against flagship Chinese phones such as my OnePlus 5 that I recently bought. In comparison my One Plus 5 came in at $540 USD has 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and dual-SIM slot (very hand when traveling abroad/on business).
I think Google is going to be creating more work for itself and it needs to decide if it’s competing against the OnePlus or Apple because both are very different types of market segments and this phone fits into the middle of the pack in terms of specs but at a premium price. It just doesn’t make sense because these phones don’t carry any prestige that say a Samsung or Apple would.
I’m sorry for not going into more depth but for the way I purchase I had to stop at the 4GB of RAM I cannot believe any 2017 flagship phone would have such little memory.
The Pixel 2 looks like a good phone but it is overpiced and underspec’d and usually I say specs are not an issue but at that price point it certainly is and I’d say the iPhone-X is the better value. Think of it this way though you could almost buy 2 OnePlus 5’s with 8GB of RAM for the price of one Pixel 2.
