Is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

If you can have one for $200 yes
else no

No. Overpriced bullshit. I have a Moto g4 with CyanogenMod 14.1 and it's more than good enough.

Enjoying mine, OP.
Very smooth and Just Werks experience.

Only (((problem))) I have had is that since I changed my settings on ``display size'' (basically your effective DPI) the Amazon app refuses to install and wants me to use the tablet version >_>

50$ with a 2 year contract, came a daydream VR headset that I can fuck around with a little.

The only thing that's lacking in the pixel is lacking an expandable SD card slot, other than that there's no reason not to get one.

Buy a ZUK Z2 nigger.

>no micro SD card slot
This alone makes is not worth it, when devices like HTC 10 exist.

No.
I tested it for a weekend.

I think the screen is surprisingly bad (It has this Android-device thing where you can see black lines between the pixels) and it looks awful.

Wait for a second generation.

>trusting a passfag

It's just another shitty Android phone with a high res display.

not important, you can back up all your photos and videos to the Google Cloud with unlimited storage.

No

I got the smaller version after learning with my G4 that you don't
a) need 1440p on a phone
b) don't need a phone that big

The smaller one is a good size

Shut up and suck gook moots micro penis before he sticks it in your wallet

No wonder you don't like the Pixel, you're obviously poor as h*ck. Can't even afford $20 a year to avoid captchas?

Serious question: why does anyone need a 600+ bucks phone for?

All it needs to do is call, text messaging (SMS or internet based) and basic web based services. (browse the web, email, etc)

Since when has need ever had anything to do with it?

tl;dr: not yet

Almost no one on this site has money. That's why there's constant shilling for Thinkpads, AMD products, and Chinkphones.

I don't visit any poorfag threads, really not sure why you're here in "our" thread.

"our"?

see So why did you come to the Pixel thread again?

Because I like the Pixel and am interested in discussion about it?

So why this?

That's not me user?

Are mine.

Is it overpriced? Yes. Dull? Sure. but its the best fucking android on the market right now.

You can also finance it with 0% APR for 2 years which is great.

I personally would never buy first gen version of it, but the fact that the hard to get models are selling on eBay right now for $1,500 means there is going to be a strong aftermarket for it and when the 2nd gen comes out, you will be able to sell yours for at least 90% of its original price.

my friend is an applefag, and he always buys the top of the line iPhone. Recently got the 7 specced out, and sold his old 6 for $50 less than what he paid for it.

Just dont drop it.

Honestly that's sound advice for any phone, except for low tier shit where you'd be lucky to even find a buyer.

Nexus 6p is still selling for like $500 wtf senpai

except if you own yours for 4 years like I do, and wear it down to a point of maybe getting $50 for it.

I'm stubborn, and hold on to technology till it dies.


Now I need a new phone, and I'm really wanted to finance that Pixel. But of course I'm just gonna waste it cause I'll have it for like 4 years

>Is it worth being meshed into the PRISM government botnet?

Yes

why buy something that tries to be an IPhone in almost any way, when could just get a IPhone even cheaper?

>financing something small like a cell phone
Why not just buy it outright?

True, but data is expensive as fuck here and I would like to be able to fit more movies and music on my phone.

>data is expensive as fuck here
A fair argument, mine uploads as soon as I get home and connect to wireless network
>I would like to be able to fit more movies and music on my phone.
Fair enough, but 128 GiB isn't so small that it's a dealbreaker for all but the most autistic people

I would of had to pay 300$ more for an Iphone 7, and that 3.5mm jack is a big plus since my car doesn't have Bluetooth.

Just buy android or nokia

just use the fucking adapter m8.
For christs sake, it isn't that bad.

Paid full price for it. Yes. Best phone I've ever used. Then again, buy what you want I couldn't give a fuck

Why the fuck are the XL 128GBs STILL sold out? This thing came out months ago.

I had a nigger-rigged bluetooth setup in my last car, and it is gay af when it comes to elegance. Much nicer to just have real bluetooth instead of some garbage hack job aux cable -> bluetooth thing that also has a usb cable running to a cigarette lighter adapter

You can put your money in a savings account instead.

Carrier wasn't even selling 128gb version unfortunately. But I don't see a reason why not to include expandable storage in phones.

Nice iPhone

Why not just install it in the car yourself.
Youtube has a lot of sources you can use.

>expecting amoshit to be good

They can be good.
My Lumia 640's AMOLED does not have that problem and it has much lower resolution and is a much cheaper device in general.

hopefully a proper company advances panel tech (high hopes for Panasonic and the new tech that's on the horizon from them) not Samshit

So is it Samsung that makes these horrible displays with the clearly visible pixel patterns on them?

I really want to buy a new Smartphone but after seeing how unacceptable even the Pixel's display is despite being a flagship I'm hesitant to just buy one.
I know that the Samsung Galaxy series has the same problem, but it seems like the plebs don't even notice it.

Does this phenomenon have a name?

This phone is only expensive to appear high end and to be labeled as the alternative to the iPhone.

Go with this

>only 2 years of official updates
>dollar for dollar pricing with the current gen ishit
>Lagdroid application dev quality
>blatant unoriginal iphone copy in terms of physical design, as if making a simple original good looking phone was impossible
>trash amoled screen
Now that the Nexus line is completely gone there is little appeal to Android given current market choices. Either stuck with some OEM skinned garbage with no dev community or an overpriced Pixel device that is sub par in every way. It's pitiful how Android tries to be more like the iphone in every way instead of focusing on its strengths

>Does this phenomenon have a name?
No idea, Amoled has tons of problems despite being shilled over and over. I have used the current gen of Amoled and still prefer a good IPS panel over it like the one in the itoy 7.
Like I said, I'm waiting until a proper company can iron out OLED since Samshit can't do anything right.

How does G4 compare to Redmi Note 3 Pro and LG G2?

because I don't have $800 I can just blow on a phone.

I'll finance it, and pay off $200 a month.

I own a Pixel XL yes its the best phone i've ever used but in no way worth the money

If they were really like the iPhone they would gimp the 4G speeds on purpose and use a solid aluminum case to block the signal.

>trusting the cloud

can you post a credible source on that? lagdroid is far more infamous for garbage antennas

Nope.
No. SD, software issues, ugly as sin hardware

Google it.
There were two different modems in the versions of the last iPhone and they deliberately gimped them so they would perform similarly.

Signal quality is also shit because the SOLID ALUMINUM CASE blocks the signal.

>Implying the cloud isn't 100x more reliable.

>using marketing buzzwords to talk about technology

Pretty mediocre.

It doesn't do anything my Nexus 6 didn't do. But it died so I ended up buying this stupid thing.

I only bought it because unlocked bootloader and likely long term support for shit like Lineage OS.

Screen is also pure garbage. In sRGB mode, the red primaries are very wrong. In non sRGB mode, the screen looks like blue, over saturated shit. Weirdly enough though the display has better viewing angles than the Nexus 6.

Google assistant is fucking stupid. Basically just Google searches for you.

The stupid weather/date widget doesn't show weather unless you enable the phone to spy on you.

Google cloud print is literally just pure garbage. Outputs low resolution gibberish with half finished O's

Keyboard also spies on you. When you type certain words it gives you this blue text prompt of some bullshit. So if you say something like Richard Hammond, it obviously sends your keystrokes to google literally constantly.
Also gesture typing still sucks dong.

Tl;Dr if you buy this, put Lineage OS on it and you.get a decent, generic, overpriced phone.

>The only thing that's lacking
Serious?

So removable battery, water resistance, Qi charging are all included?

Let's not forget that Google's own Tango technology is not supported by Pixel, even though they came out at the same fucking time.

Wow so I can feed the hornet test images for their nonfree super neural network?

Fucking Jew.

I always have a feeling that Pixel hate is just coming from shills that operate from OEM companies like Xiaomi, LG, Samshit and HTC.
Instead of making great devices, just shill your problems away! All the offerings in the Android space for 2016 sucked balls except for the Pixel.

Or maybe the pixel is just a mediocre phone for $650 dollars which is why people hate it.

Clearly not because it's the top selling non-samsung Android phone for 2016 in the US.

it's an ugly phone, with a shitload of flaws with a retard pricetag. People would dismiss it in no time if it wasn't a google phone. In fact it would be in the far end in the "chink" category

I hate that new launcher.

I know. It's pretty sad.

Literally the only positive I can think of is Google fi. But you have to use Google spyware to be a part of it.

I want one

>Signal quality is also shit because the SOLID ALUMINUM CASE blocks the signal.
the antennas on the itoy are external so if they are properly engineered (as if) they should receive signal just like internal ones in other phones

The Pixel garbage is made out of aluminum as well so it's even more embarrassing of a clone if what you claim about aluminum is true

G4 owner here, can vouch for this. If you don't mind the screen and camera, it's a very good phone with long battery life.

ah for me it's just music man, I have about a 500gb library id like to carry. I'd buy this in an instant if it took over the role of modded ipod classic

W O W

i hate all androids because they have 3 dedicated buttons

the iphone have just one button that they use for everything

this is how you innovate, having to go the previous page without having to program everything for 3 button

you morons will argue about this

I've had one for a couple months

Trusty little thing

>finance a cell phone

hahahaha

bought two XLs to replace my fucking Note 7s. I had been purchasing a new Note model every year since 2.

I am not going to lie, I still get nostalgic for my Note 7, but the Pixel XL scratches the same itch and performs very well in daily use.

Add in obligatory camera is really good comment, unlimited storage is great and its a pretty big win for Google

>aaaawwww youre a shill
Nope, it's just overpriced shit.

>I think the screen is surprisingly bad (It has this Android-device thing where you can see black lines between the pixels) and it looks awful.
I think I know what you are talking about, but do you have any pictures of this phenomenon? I'm curious if it has an actual name I can google.

That definitely depends, can I watch scat porn on it?

>hahahaha
kek

>Own a OP3
>only thing missing is an IR blaster and video output from the USB-C port
>literally no problems out of it whatsoever
>battery life, performance is great

I have no idea why anyone would buy a $500+ phone.

stay tinfoiled.

>25 plus shipping and handling
I don't get it.

I have a Moto G 3rd Gen. In terms of price, features etc. it is one of the best Mobile Phones you can buy.

>no expandable storage
