I currently on the pixel 2XL Verizon bootloader unlocked
I have a sweet deal to purchase a pixel 4xl 128gb with cracked screen for $220 shipping include
Google store edition 128gb
My question is what are the major differences.
Going from 2xl to 4xl
just compare the spec sheet and watch videos... bruh
Battery life is maybe one major difference. That's worth it but I'd say wait for the 5 it's basically a upgraded pixel 2xl
Although I'm curious how good the screen will be.

Hello all note users. I currently have a new pixel 3 xl and have been offered a note 9 for it. I know this is a note thread but am looking for a little honest opinions on if I should make the trade. If you haven't used a pixel no offense your opinion won't help. I'm interested but am on the fence. If you have a pixel 3xl or 2 xl I would love to know what you think. Thanks guys

Stick with the pixel if u are one of those that hates waiting for updates and prefers a generic android experience.

Not too concerned about the updates. I'm more interested in user experience. Battery for both will be fine for anyone, camera obviously better on the pixel and screen obviously on the note. Basically it boils down to user experience.
user experience is the best you can get on android, camera is more versatile than pixel's, vanilla droid is barebones and plain boring

Well I just sold my Pixel 3XL today and am waiting for a S10+. I had the Note 9 for a while and liked it alot. My main reason for going to the 3XL was the camera but being with the phone for a few months all the little annoyances with bluetooth, screen not waking all the time with the double tap, crashing apps and things breaking with every update I am going back to Samsung. They are slower for the updates but they release a more polished and stable OS. I really think the Pie update is beautiful on the Note. Plus the hardware is far better. I didn't go for another Note 9 because I like the design and screen to body ratio on the 10+ better. As for your trade it is fair but only you can decide what is best for your needs and wants.

Thanks alot, I'm thinking I might just stick with what I have. From doing a little research it's not really an upgrade so I might just sell it when the note 10/pixel 4 xl comes out. I had Samsung for about 8 years straight and got sick of TouchWiz lag so I went with the pixel 2xl then the 3xl. If the 4xl doesn't wow me I'm done with Google and will be back with samsung:good:
As a pixel 3 and a note 9 owner, lets just say the pixel 3 is collecting dust and I will be selling it soon. The pixel 3 is probably the most boring phone I ever had. And the camera, IMO, is not better than the note 8.
My Pixel XL3 was returned (boring) and happily been enjoying the badboy Note 9 EXynos!

Care to elaborate on how it's boring, come on guys help me out. From my s8+ days I found it to be almost phone suicide to root. The pixel phones can be rooted with tons of ROMs, kernels, mods..... Can be done by a 10 year old. Not sure it's necessarily boring?
All stock android phones are boring. Pixel, oneplus, pixel roms etc all offer the same experience. Thats a pro and a con.
If the Pixel was $5-600 it would be a better contender. But at similar cost to the Note and other fully featured phones(Huawei fanboy here) it doesnt compete.
Camera and updates are what youre paying for.
If youre a user like myself I can trade off a touch of speed for a device that includes everything plus some.
Im only a few days in with the Note but its the best overall device out and this is coming from a mate 20x/pixel 3 xl user.
Only thing its missing is ir blaster.
To be honest Samsung's One UI is probably allot closer to stock android that it was in it's previous iteration. Which is kinda good. However I am not a fan of the huge Notification Drawer as it is way to big when compared to what was on Samsung UI. Also allot of the key features from Samsung UI are now not present in One UI. That said the only good thing I like in Samsung's One UI is the new navigation gestures and the fact that you can turn off the on screen buttons.

i have this on my keychain:
Baseus R02 Type-C Smartphone IR Remote Controller

Current trade in value for a 64 GB Pixel 3 XL is $260. I've been a loyal Nexus/Google user for the last few years and I'm quite disappointed about the trade in amounts compared to the last two years. In case anyone was also wondering, below were my previous trade in values:
Oct 9, 2018 - Pixel 2 XL $325
Nov 27, 2017 - Pixel XL $405
Does anyone remember or know if we should expect the trade in values for previous-gen Pixels to increase in the next month or two?
I can't imagine they would increase. Would be happy to hear if I'm wrong about that.
BTW, if anyone is interested Pixel 2 trade in price is $110.
It could be worse. Google only wanted to give me $60 for my G7 lol. Just head over to Swappa, my dude.
Check with your carrier as well.
T-Mobile I believe is doing a $300 trade in for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.

I was thinking about getting the one plus seven pro. I'm on PixelXL 2 and was debating should I spend the money? Also pixel XL 4 is $200 off. I believe the one plus is built better but was trying to make a decision. Just thought I'd share and see if anyone cared to share their opinion. Thanks

You will not regret it. Once u get the 90Hz display it will be hard to go back to 60Hz.
Get the badboy 1+7Pro for the win! Cheers

i have the og pixel xl, so i'm in a similar situation as you. my pixel has been more sluggish and the battery has been draining faster. it's almost 3 years old. i only upgrade when i need to and it's about time, so i took advantage of the deal. these are my thoughts and conclusions i came to after my research. i am in no way an expert on the oneplus 7 pro. i don't even have the phone yet! :laugh:
i've admired oneplus ever since they came on the scene and have recommended their phones before. i probably would have gotten one earlier if verizon supported them. what sold me on the oneplus 7 pro vs. the google pixel 4 xl is what you get for the price. even with google's $200 deal, the pixel 4 xl with 64gb of storage and 6gb of ram is $699. at $549, the 7 pro gets you 256gb of storage and 8gb of ram. the 7 pro also has a bigger battery(4000mah vs 3700mah). both phones have the same cpu and gpu(snapdragon 855 and adreno 640).
both phones have 90hz displays, but the pixel 4 xl has had issues with 90hz support since launch. the display will run at 90hz at certain brightness settings. it looks like google improved things with their november update but i think they're going to be tweaking it for a while. on the other hand, it looks like oneplus did a better job supporting 90hz and there are hacks/mods to enable 90hz all the time.
bootloader unlock and rooting are important to me too. that's why we use android and get phones like these right? that's easily done on either phone. well, the google version of the pixel, not the verizon one.
the pixel has better cameras, but those aren't important to me. i hardly take pictures and i know my nephew is going to get a kick out of the 7 pro's pop up selfie cam.
i just ordered the 7 pro, so i have zero experience with the phone. this was my thought process to choose the 7 pro vs the pixel. i hope it helps.

I did it and don't regret it! Love this phone and my xl2. But the 4xl simply isn't worth it.
Buying a 2nd one for this price ??
I ordered one on black friday to upgrade from my Oneplus 1. It looks like it will be another phone that can last me at least 5 years.
I just bought one because i lost my first one. This deal couldn't have come at a better time.
They actually have the exact same offer again.
US and Germany:
OnePlus 7 Pro 8 GB/256 GB - 150$/140€ off
Non US Store:
OnePlus 7 Pro 8 GB/128 GB - 110€ off
OnePlus 7 Pro 12 GB/256 GB - 100€ off
PS: On checkout enter op7pro as a voucher code. This one is then valid for a week and if you use it the amount will be deducted.

I ordered one on Black Friday as well. Have you already received your phone? My order indicates shipping date of 12/13 with 12/18 as being the delivery date. Just curious if you got something similar.
Hi all, i found a decently priced sm-g975f
i use t-mobile
Will this be a good fit for me considering i want to root etc.?
Has anyone came from the pixel 3 lineup?
Thanks
it depends s10+ rooting and custom roms are easy to do (in my opinion) i'm currently running LineageOS17.1 paired with my Samsung Galaxy Watch flawlessly, if you want better pictures i guess the pixel 4 XL is the way to go (I'm actually thinking of selling my s10+ and buying the Pxel 4 XL)

Naturally, I agree, but after google messed up the pixel 3 xl with performance and memory issues, i'm hard to trust they did right by the pixel 4, especially for it's price, i already spent 1k on a device that didn't live up to the expectations (camera aside), cant' justify spending another 1k with them for what might end up being the same again.
Also what seller on ebay should I be buying the SM-G975F from ?
Hey Pixel 5 owners, greetings from Ukraine!
I had been using Pixel 4A for quite a while, but the battery started draining fast, and even the battery replacement didn't help.
That's why I switched to Realme 9 Pro+, but sometimes I pick up my 4A, and it's much more pleasant to use for me even though Realme has better specs.
I'm considering going back to some Pixel, and since the Pixel 6 is bigger and heavier than I like (and looks like it's quite buggy), I'm thinking of buying a Pixel 5 having that nice plastic back with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner I like. The size and weight are also great.
However, it's been two years since the Pixel 5 was released. Still relevant? Refurbished Pixel 5 vs. new Pixel 5?
Thank you!!

The Pixel 5 is no longer available new from Google. I bought mine new to replace my old Pixel 2, and it's been a solid phone. If you don't mind a slightly larger device with 6GB RAM vs 8GB, the 5a is a solid device, and has a higher capacity battery. Either way, both are very solid phones. I dislike the Pixel 6 so I won't be upgrading.
If you can find a good conditioned Pixel 5, absolutely!
I LOVE mine.
I was probably going to grab a Pixel 6a considering the Tensor chip and smaller size, but the 60Hz screen is a full on no-go for me. I mean hell, the Pixel 5 has a 90hz screen..
But yea if you don't mind a little bigger phone, the 5a looks promising.. I prefer the smaller sized screen on the 5 though.
I'll easily wait for the Pixel 7 to see if I like it. For now, the Pixel 5 is still getting me 10+ hours on a full charge. (lite user here..)
Stock ROM + AOSP MOds FTW.

thanks for sharing! That sounds like a plan... grabbing a P5 or P5A and waiting for the P7 reviews to decide on upgrading.
