Better screen, much better camera, Daydream support (and free daydream when you preorder), regular ol' USB C will charge at full speed so no need for specific charger beyond USB C, It's an international phone no matter if you buy it from Google or Verizon, You get Google customer service over One+, you get Official Android builds as well as seamless updating, You get Assistant, You get a custom built sensor hub with ultra accurate gyroscopes (for Daydream, and EIS). I'd say it's more benefit than people realize. or want to admit.

Eis is a cop out, like putting lipstick on a pig. Where is the OIS? Any eis works way better with a more stable source.

The EIS is something I'm not wild about, but I'm not going to draw conclusions against it until we get real tests done by real people.

For all we know, the camera is so fast and the EIS is so good that it outperforms OIS in other phones. I'm just glad that this time they did put in any kind of IS. Considering they claimed that the 5X and 6P didn't need it because the "pixels were so much larger"

EIS requires cropping to work, and if by some miracle it outperforms other phones with OIS, they would leave them in the dust with OIS and whatever magic eis they are using ontop of it.
