Talk me out of buying a google Pixel XL
Quote | Reply
My Gen 1 Droid Turbo is starting to fail. I need to restart nearly every day. The Vol down button is broken. The battery lasts about 2 hours.

Got my eye on the Pixel XL, but it's backordered to mid January. I'm not sure I can hold out for the Samsung S8 in Mar/Apr.

Also, I'm on Verizon and not changing carriers.

Does waterprooficity matter at all to you? If no, go with the googles.

Someone here recommended to me (this time last year) to look into a Nexus 6 which is a Google phone. That was the best information I got all of last year. I love the phone. So if I were you, I would wait for the Google phone. Mid January is only a few weeks away.

PS I have a Samsung tablet that I dislike using. The Samsung add-ons are irritating and clumsy.

Waterproofing doesn't concern me too much. The glass back does a little though. I do drop my phone on occasion and really hate using cases.

Guess I'm dropping an order for a G-phone and a case.

If you don't like cases there are very thin ones out there that will do a decent enough job protecting the glass back. Just don't throw your phone at the ground.

The case on my iPhone is barely noticeable. Don't buy a phone without a case, you are just asking for trouble.

Nope.

I use integrated Google everything, just looking for an excuse to upgrade from my S6 Active.

Only phones worth considering currently are the Pixel and the iPhone. I have been an iPhone guy from the beginning but also have an Android Nexus tablet. I finally got my first Mac so I am sticking to the Apple ecosystem. But if you are going Android, the Pixel is the place to be. The Nexus 6P was the first really good Android phone, the Pixel is better. Samsung is not even worth considering now that the Pixel is available.

And my vote is for the XL. I had the regular sized 6, upgraded to the 7+. I was nervous that I would hate the big size of the +, took about two days to get used to it and now I won't go back. 5.5" is where its at, my old phone feels like a toy now.

The Nexus phones are pretty nice. I switched over from iPhone 4 to Nexus 5, now have a 5x. I don't see myself going back to iPhone any time soon.

Have you had problems with the usb-c connector? It's my only gripe.

LifeProof makes some great cases, thin and durable
