The Nexus 4 was beautiful, IMO one of the coolest smartphones ever made. It was manufactured by LG, but AFAIK Google was responsible for the design.

I hated the Nexus 4... it was slippery and broke waaaay to easily.

I think the Moto X with the wood back was one of the coolest looking phones ever though.

The bulk of consumers can't even tell the difference between a Pixel, Galaxy and iPhone. So, yes, probably, at least to first approximation.

I think the Pixel 1, 4, and 7 are very nice looking. This one too.
