>> Like Google Nexus?

No, they 100% killed Nexus.... Pixel line is in no way, in any shape or form a successor to Nexus.

Nexus was a reasonably priced unlocked reference phone targeted to Power Users

Pixel is an iPhone Competitor targeted to Carriers to be featured as an iPhone Alternative

Completely different markets, focus and goals

>>AngularJS? They took the framework in a different direction.

Again no, Angular is TypeScript, AngularJS is Javascript, these are not the same thing, and it is far from "a different direction"

>> Nexus was a reasonably priced unlocked reference phone targeted to Power Users

Nexus One: $530 Nexus S: $530 Galaxy Nexus: $200 with standard 2 year contract (basically the same as any flagship phone at that time) Nexus 4: $300 Nexus 5: $350 Nexus 6: $650 Nexus 6p: $500 Nexus 5x: $379

Arguably Nexus 4 & 5 were the odd ones out with their relatively low pricing. The others (excluding the 5x) were pretty much on part with flagship phone prices at launch time.
