In my view yes. For the hot swap if you get any issues.
I need to speak with EE because I get a 25% discount if I can call up. So might be worth contact for me.
If it's not much cheaper I will get direct from google
Ordered about 15mins ago. I think they're still available.
Oh I see what you mean. Yes 256 only in black
It was instant, as soon as it had done the Visa verification thing it came up with a page saying it had been cancelled, instead of the order confirmation page you'd normally expect. It didn't happen later or anything like that, so as long as you got the order confirmed hopefully all good
Looks like I have 2 payments pending on my card but hopefully one will drop off.

Those 50mp files will add up quickly.

No more fabric case?

That’s pretty much the conclusion I’ve come to. I’ll try calling them tomorrow to see whether I can cancel the pre order. Surely it’d be easier to do that than wait for delivery…

Probably be 12mpx.. 50 in pro mode.
Sigh...
I wanted pixel 6 with 256gb. Not sure i can justify the price of the pro.
It was stupid storage options that made me go samsung instead of the pixel 4.
I occasionally listen to headphones when away with work, so i have all my music with me in Flac format. On an sd card in the current samsung. Ive recently bought a usb DAC to use with the phone for the headphones. Using UAPP i cant set the library to a google drive or whatever, which might help, but usually im with poor or no wifi and data abroad is likely to cost again soon due to brexit people. Plus i dont really want to pay for a streaming service, when ive paid for the music already.
Can i use a usbc hub with a phone to connect usb storage and usb DAC at the same time? Brief testing so for doesnt seem promising. Am i really the only person for who this is a problem?
It all seems so stupid to get rid of sd cards and also have weird restrictions on storage space.

How is it weird/stupid. You're introducing something with a high failure rate.
Google is still primarily a software company so they removed SD card with the Pixel line as they just happen to offer a paid service to compensate for that shortcoming.
Just like headphone jacks happened to be removed with widespread introduction of wireless buds, it's far less a design and more of a business decision. Incidentally also seems to mostly happen to flagship and upper midrange phones with customer base that's perceived to have more disposable income to spend on things like cloud storage and new wireless accessories.
Somehow lot of budget phones still seem to pack "features" like SD slots and jacks but it is what it is in this industry so take what you can as a consumer and not looking to beat a dead horse with that discussion.
Tech Spurt mentions that review embargo lifts "next Monday", if he means 25th then that's before the headphone offer expires on 27th so might resist the urge to order until then to see if I want to splash the extra cash for Pro.
EDIT: He also mentions Google indeed are offering 5 years of software support on these now
