I don't want a iphone4s with Android

Get a better design

>>57353741
this, the phone is shit m8

>>57353741

>design

Buying phone based on design instead of specs.

I would love to buy one but waiting till the middle of december for the phone to ship out is ridiculous. What the fuck Google? Why?

>>57353756
>omg specs
they all have sameish specs, you even get those specs for 299$ on other phones. The design is what you pay for.

>>57353741
>>57353754

American media has convinced people that design matters.

>It is thinner !
>It is shinner!
>It is blue and pink!

It is twice the price of its competitors but look at the desing! It will be laggy as fuck but at least you can stare at the pretty phone design while your phone is loading your apps!

>>57353731
Because I'm waiting for the Pixel 2 or even the 3. I don't want to be a beta tester.

>>57353762
they are so good they run out of phones within days

>>57353791
>>57353756
>Thinking design an spec cannot meet
>Accepting a huge as bezel when it serves no purpose for physical buttons or captives.
>299 phone of same spec exsist with better screen real estate.

You literally buying a phone bases on getting a pure Android feel.This incineration is figuratively a 4s iPhone.the lower end processor,shitty screen all for a pure Android experience. You are a fuck to buy this

>>57353791
yeah you have seen through the media charade and bought a 700$ phone with no regards to design instead, you are paying for the specs alright. Except the specs are available for everyone and you can get them for a third of the price

>>57353780

>being mugged by paying hundreds of dollars because of a "premium design" which you are not even going to apreciate when using a phone cover.


>HURP DURP let me pay $300 extra for an aluminium thin phone YOU PLEB

>>57353862
>using a phone cover
wew lad, its almost like you want it to look like an iphone from 4 years ago

>>57353848
no cucksucker I am paying $700 dollars for a phone being develped by the same company that makes android. That means.

>better performance
>better security updates and support
>better improvements over time (hardware + software)


I dont care about that thing you call bezels or about the design whatsoever I want my fucking phone to browse the internet , check my email, play games , take notes , etc not to brag about owning the prettiest phone .

>>57353884
>not buying a 10000 mah anker battery cover for your phone

>>57353894
same company have done this for years at a competitive price. business as usual but this time make it double the price and change the name.
>buying in to memes
pls dont do this

>>57353894
Are those things noticeably improved on a pixel over something that is $500 cheaper? Do you feel like you're getting a $500 better android experience?

Genuine question because I just bought a cheap phone for the first time and am amazed at what it does for the price.

>As far as raw benchmark scores go, Google’s Pixel didn’t fare very well against Apple’s iPhone lineup. The Pixel achieved a score of 1565 on Geekbench’s single-core test while Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus more than doubled that with 3488. On Geekbench’s multi-core test, the Pixel got a 4103 while the iPhone scored 5590.

>Moving on to real-world performance, the test we had been waiting for was finally released on Wednesday. Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus and Google’s Pixel XL were lined up in a familiar speed test that involves opening and closing a series of apps one at a time, and then repeating them in the same order for a second “lap.” Again, the results weren’t even close and Apple’s iPhone clobbered Google’s new flagship phablet.

Literally inferior. Pixeldicks on suicide watch.

Seriously question for you pixelfags: how is it better than the OnePlus 3?
From what I can see the OP3 has more ram, almost the same processor, and an AMOLED screen. Not to mention it doesn't have the massively hideous bezels the pixel has.
On top of that, it's MUCH cheaper than the pixel. It also was shown to be faster than the pixel, since it was almost as fast as the iPhone 7 during the speed test.
Unless you're on Verizon, the OP3 seems to be a superior phone for much less.

Will you, anon ??? Buy it for me anon. Thanks anon

>>57354058

I'm not an android user, but I have no idea how anyone could chose the Pixel over the OP3 other than diehard fanboyism.

I'd like to keep my privacy

>>57354084
Yeah,i currently have a moto x pure (basically a nexus 6), and I'm looking for phones to upgrade to next year. I have no idea what the pixel has going for it.
Even the argument that it receives updates straight from Google is null due to just how ridiculously massive the dev support for OP phones are.
Like I said though, if you're stuck on Verizon like me there's not much you can do with a OnePlus.

>>57353796
Seven fucking nexuses before this one and you think this is a beta phone?

>>57354113
Nexus phones were always budget phones targeted for developers. Google hasn't proved they can into premium yet.

Why the fuck are you comparing the Pixel to the 7P when you should be comparing the Pixel XL to it?

>>57354125
>Nexus phones were always budget phones

Not a all of the Nexuses were budget phones.

>>57354113
Yes, it is the first iteration of a new series of Google phones. I won't buy the first iteration of anything.

>>57354313
They are manufactured by HTC.

>>57353731
don't feel like wasting money on a handheld computer I don't need

>>57354338
But the design is from Google. You could make Rolls Royce manufacture a Pinto, but it won't stop it from being shit.
Google is exploring a new market with this phone. I'd rather have a better developed product.

Did anyone else read gsmarena's review?

When if just came out verge and Android Central a seemed a bit too gratuitous about the phone for my liking, one of them even called it the greatest phone ever, so I avoided reading them.

Gsmarena only did it for the XL but from it, they said it's a pretty solid phone, overpriced considering it's not much better than the Android competitors.

Slower performance in benchmarks compared to the iPhone 7 plus, fantastic cam (probably best on market), great audio output, great screen, great video quality (confusing way to tweak quality though), good battery life but not the market's best and a great build but bland design.

I'm not paying $600 for specs similar to the Nexus 5X

The reason I always chose an android over the iphone was because it was about as powerful but much cheaper. Now when I upgrade I may as well go with apple because they're the same price only the apple product will have better specs.

>>57354427
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Ie-l9Vago

The camera doesn't seem that good. I prefer the iPhone one.

>>57354423
I don't talk shit about the OP3 because I've never used one. So if you don't any experience in using the Pixel why even bother shitting on it? Based on the specs and /g/ consensus I thought I had fucked up in buying one, now I don't have any regrets. The phone will pay itself off in about a year in a half provided that it lasts that long.
>>57354451
I've always used androids(flagships) but when I came across iPhones I noticed the fluidity/responsiveness was better than any android I had used.
The Pixel actually outdoes the iPhone in this area. There's something going for it besides specs.
Anecdotal evidence though, I still recommend you check one out if possible.

>>57354555
>I don't talk shit about the OP3 because I've never used one. So if you don't any experience in using the Pixel why even bother shitting on it? Based on the specs and /g/ consensus I thought I had fucked up in buying one, now I don't have any regrets.
I never shit on it. I said I don't want to be a beta tester so I won't buy it. The phone might be good, but I won't risk it.

>The phone will pay itself off in about a year in a half provided that it lasts that long.
No, it won't. A phone is not an investment.

>>57354579
I should have clarified, my bill was $105 a month from Verizon(highway robbery), which included ~$28 for the previous phone's payment. I switched to Fi and now my bill is ~$50 a month. So with some rough math it will pay itself off through that.
No solution is perfect though. You can say that Fi is botnet incarnate which may not be wrong, but it is using the same wireless providers that everyone else is likely stuck on. You are going to be caught in the dragnet anyway, may as well save some cash while doing it.
I really thought I had fucked up in ordering the Pixel - now I can't even call android lagdroid anymore.

>>57353731
Honor 5x is still working fine. If anything I'm probably looking at Xiaomi for my next phone.

>>57353731
>crap benchmarks
>no expandable storage
>Stock android is supposed to make me want a phone

Sorry, Google lost me there. I was all for it but the lack of micro SD slot was a game breaker. LG V20 here I come

>>57354818
What do you need to store that exceeds 32GB?

But I do

It's alright, nothing special but it's not necessarily a bad phone, just not anything revolutionary. I needed a replacement for my grenade 7 so the XL seemed like the only good choice

>on screen buttons

no thank you

Trash specs, performance and design for premium price

>>57355155
>trash specs

Not in the slightest. It's literally the best Android phone out in the market.

>>57354793
Enjoy your incoming bootloop. Literally hundreds of people are reporting their 5X is bootlooping after upgrading to the latest version of android. LG cucks

>>57355078
Photos, music, you know, stuff that people use their phones for. And before you say "Just store it on google drive" I don't trust that with my pictures as far as I can throw it.

I bought the V20 for $20 more

>>57353731
I don't feel the need to throw away my phone and spend hundreds of dollars just because something new released/

>>57353731
I dont need a new phone when my 6y old one does everything i need.
I will only need better hardware if i want to replace my laptop with a phone, but there isnt software for that yet. Gentoo RAP has some potential tho.

I own a RN3P, it does everything I need it to with zero lag. Why would I buy anything more expensive? I could buy 10 Pixels and barely notice it hit my wallet, I don't spend money I don't need to.

>Implying I would buy an Crapple over Shitdroid
There are also plenty of Android phones which cost less than the Pixel yet outperform it in both single and multicore benchmarks. The Pixel is nothing more than Google's sub-par entry into the dick measuring contest that the phone industry has become.

Pixelfags are worst than iPhone fags.

At least iPhones get updated and dont lag.

>>57355825
>At least iPhones get updated and dont lag.
>What are OTA updates and you spending 1 minute to disable/remove bloat
Anyway iPhones will always be ligthyears behind Android phones because of >>57355586

>>57355853
>>What are OTA updates and you spending 1 minute to disable/remove bloat

What I meant to say is that iPhones are much faster and get more updates. Pixel will stop getting software updates in 2 year. iPhones get it for at least 5. And they are much faster.

Pixel is overpriced garbage.

Also, nice try with that picture, but im not 12. Fuck off pixel nigger.

>>57353731
Only reason I don't own one is because I want to wait and see if it will go on sale for Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

If it does go on sale, I'll buy it.
If it doesn't go on sale, I'll be slightly disappointed but still buy it.

I'm not defending the phone you fucking retard. All Android phones receive OTA updates. Anyway I'm not 12 so I consider all the things in >>57355586 to be very detrimental problems that will always keep me from buying a fruit phone.

Also you do realize that iPhones literally have the worst cameras on smartphones right?

I'm getting a V20 on black friday, child.

>>57355970

Google did say Pixel only gets "full support" for 2 years. However, "full support" =/= updates, they were probably referring to the new support feature added in the Pixel that allows Google reps to help you troubleshoot much easier. Also, just because pixel loses full support doesn't mean it loses all support.

Feels good running a phone with Android OS that isn't laggy as fuck

>>57356006

My point is that they the pixel will stop receiving updates in 2 years.

Pixel = overpriced garbage.

Not good enough to be worth praising or not shit enough to condemn?

Because I got a Nexus 6P, used and in rough shape. $250 tho so can't complain.

Pixel doesn't have much to offer over N6P as far as features I'll actually use.

Oneplus is the Pearl Jam of phone companies.

No one denies how good they are, but nobody really listens to them either.

LG is probably a bad idea. As much as I'd like the V20, I don't think I'll buy another LG phone after bootloop in on G4 and G5, and a similar problem on the G3. There's no reason to believe that the same won't happen again.

>>57353741
iPhone 4s was probs the sexiest iPhone desu. I would love a modern specd iPhone 4 body running nougat.

>>57361267
after 6 years it's still a pretty nice looking phone definitely, not many smartphone manufacturers can say that. however those bezels are and always were fucking atrocious, ditto for the pixel which doesn't even have an excuse.

Because my s7 edge with meme curves and the fastest processor available for android was only $600, is waterproof, has a better camera, and has microsd expansion

It isn't worth the price, I have a Redmi note 3 pro with cyanogen mod for like 1/4 of the price.

Why would I bother spending 4x more? I highly doubt the Pixel is 4x as good.

>>57363311
G3 as well, and yes

>>57363311
I should note it was under verizon warrenty, but instead of asurion handling it, it was LG directly.

Honestly, I see no reason to upgrade from my Nexus 5X in a long time. It's the first Android phone I've owned where there is virtually no lag. I don't even use the hardware to its full potential at times.

Barring a cracked screen/water damage, I can see myself using this for another 5-10 years.

>>57361642

>>57353731

>>57363320
Ah, my G3 was nearing the 2 year point, so was/is no longer under warranty. The issue is actually losing connection to the camera and screen. I literally bake it in the oven at 320F for 9min weekly so it will work.

Hole fuck how stupid would you have to be to buy a phone that's both slower and going to be outdated sooner than it's nearest competitor.

While I have the money for it, it's overpriced for what it offers

I'm likely going to go with xiaomimeme mi note 2, if I'm going to buy one without a stylus and within few months. Or new oneplus 3t, if it comes out with better than fhd display.

If my oneplus one holds on for a few months, I'll probably get a new samshit note without the explosive features, if pixel and next samshit note are equally priced.

SD-card slot, IP68, better display, stylus, better battery life
