EU vs Google vs OEMs: Someone is getting screwed

Our full review of the Razer Phone 2 is in, and it's basically what we expected it to be. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is Xiaomi's latest flagship, packing a 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio and up to 10GB of RAM. Night Sight on the Google Pixel 3 is the answer to low-light cameras, and it's a really, really good answer. Google will start charging for Google Play services in the EU, and OEMs will pay a lot, as it turns out. Want to make an Android phone? That'll be two years of updates, please. The Google Pixel 3 might have some memory management issues. Suddenly 4GB of RAM doesn't seem like a good idea. The Pixel 3 also has a great camera, but sometimes, that shot you captured wasn't captured after all.
