These are similar to HTC phones.

They also announced a VR thing in which you can slot it these phones for $79.

Apparently Nexus didn't sell well despite having top components for lower prices. So Google seems done with playing the low-price game.

Hey, it worked for Apple to charge premium prices ...
They are HTC phones...
