Google Pixel and Pixel XL

[Dirk Diggler]

Update on my mic not working; I've got a brand new replacement phone arriving today. Although I bought from CPW, Google have dealt with the warranty direct and the turnaround has been Tuesday (dropped off at UPS access point) to Friday (new phone arrived).

I'm really impressed with the customer service, and it's yet another reason to stay Pixel.

I have the occasional skip. It seems like more recently. Never too bad, but as you say, it shouldn't happen at all.

Not had any Bluetooth issues myself but I know it's quite a well known problem.

I really hope with the Pixel 2 Google might support more carriers. How great would it be to have VoLTE and WiFi Calling from every network, just like the iPhone?

Now that I have a new Pixel, I have the weather widget on the top right of the home screen. I'm sure I had removed it before, but can't remember how?

I actually quite like it and use it a lot. You could download a different launcher if you don't like it?

CPW are selling the pixel (32gb) for £399.99, pixel XL £519.99.

Pixel 2 must be due to be officially announced very soon.

[sesevans]

not quite.. it [Snap/Google] was rumoured several years ago with a $4 billion offer

@ BaldJedi and AndyCR15:

Regarding Snap/Instagram, check out this reference to Stamp from Google:

And to the point raised about Google's lack of marketing for some home grown apps, it will be interesting to see their approach if Stamp is launched next week.

Damn, wish I didn't see this. I was just getting used to my 3T, although I still find it a bit large.

A Pixel would be perfect...!

At this stage of the year I would wait for the 2 unless the original is going pretty much half price.

Only 2 months until Pixel 2, if the rumors are true...

Unfortunately, the lack of 3.5mm Jack is a deal breaker for me.

Why ? You know it will come with an adaptor yeah ?

I keep hearing people use that term 'deal breaker' but why what is the big issue ?

I have an excellent pair of headphones and I don't want to be forced to retire them.

Not mad sure that I want to pay the 550 or 600 the new pixel might cost

+1,

I would love if Google did something similiar to what Apple did with the Iphone SE. I'm sure a lot of people would love a refreshed Nexus 5, out of all the phones I had, it still remains my favourite. Mine after the crash isn't exactly functioning properly, its insured... But I really don't want to send it back, it'll cost more to repair than a new phone. The new phones with glass added to the cases are too fragile.

This. Add stereo speakers and a new CPU and I'd be happy

I would like to think it will come with a tiny half inch adaptor that has usb type c one end and 3.5 jack the other
