Google Pixel?

Anyone herd anything good/bad about googles new phone? Pixel?

Seems like it is only a hair better than the one plus 3 but for double the cost.

That's actually a really good question, and I been thinking about purchasing either of the two phones.

And the short answer is, the Pixel is really good. And it isn't only a hair better than the OnePlus.

The Pixel may be about 650 USD compared to the 400 USD OnePlus, but there are MANY things that the Pixel has that the OnePlus doesn't.

For example, the camera on the Pixel may have 4 MP less than the OnePlus but MP isn't everything when it comes to a camera. The Pixel is far better at taking images and recording video.

And not only that, but the Pixel has a lot of software firsts as it is one of the first phones to have Android 7.1, which gives it the new VR capabilities which are apparently astonishingly amazing, and Google Assistant.

And, it gets a 7 hour charge in about 15 minutes, faster than the OnePlus, and it has a Snapdragon 821, faster than the OnePlus.

But, it comes down to budget. If you have about 550 USD or less in your pocket for a phone, you should get the OnePlus. If you have more than that, you should probably strive for the Pixel.

You know Google's gonna love their own phone even harder than they did with their Nexus line. The Pixel will most likely be their exclusive premiumAndroid experience, according to them. Granted, Android is open to everyone, but Google before anyone else.

Yeah, google drive.

If I did not have my EDU account, I would think that is a pretty good trade... although I would want to use something likehttps://www.boxcryptor.com/en/google-drive

I bought it, they have a 14 day return policy anyways, so going to see if it is worth it at all.... Unless there is a known Social Engineering method for them?

I don't see how you would be able to SE a cloud company.

Yea its uncompressed though, which is pretty awesome. Not entirely useful to me but I'm sure for many its a huge selling point. I'm still happy with my OnePlus One

The Phone is pretty awesome but has one big fail and it is his battery like alll the other smartphones

it is not good phone

It's not google drive.... It's google photos. There is a difference.
