I'd like an phone with a good camera but am in no particular hurry. In terms of price, when would be a good time to buy?
Is a Pixel 3 expected in October 2018? If so then the 2 should see a good price cut

I got my Pixel XL for £399 a month after the Pixel 2 released. I would look to do the same this year, but there's lots of issues with the Pixel 2 so I'll probably go for Pixel 3 if they haven't messed that up too.

i might even hold out till the Pixel 4, the hardware of the pixel is doing all i need it to do, i Just like to have the latest software, and as the pixel is getting android p (which i will assume will be the last big upgrade for it) that should take me up to the pixel 4 (unless the pixel 3 has some kickass must have hardware :) )

That sounds like a great price, where was that from?!
I should have said, I usually buy a sim free handset outright to use pay as you go.

Going to pick up the 2xl after work this evening. Been phone hopping constantly since my Nexus 6 trying to find something that feels comfortable. Finally come to terms with the fact that it's likely stock Android I'm missing more then anything else :/

Can anyone hit me up with any good deals?

(Oops, just noticed there's an official thread for the 2 elsewhere)

Im looking at the XL from argos at the moment for 299 but not sure if there are any newer phones now which are better for the price.
I was going to originally go with that, but seeing as I'm redoing my room, going on Holiday next week and I'll need to change cars. This made sense and it charges quickly with my charger I got left from OP3T.

Anyone who has doubts about buying one, its in pristine condition. I bought it Sunday afternoon and got it delivered to the office before lunch time. :)

I'll update this post with battery life info, how many hours OST is everyone getting?

BTW To keep it in that condition, what cases and screen protectors is everyone rocking? :p

I bought a £109 HTC 10 Evo from them 3 months back. Can't complain about anything, I'm looking to change that phone though as the battery life is terrible (CEX offering £94 cash or £130ish vouchers for a trade in)

I'm just about to buy the Pixel from Toby, but came here first to see how the phone is holding up on the latest software.

EDIT : Ordered! Use code '3SLASH' to bring it down to £198.98 :)
