What self respecting hardware nut intentionally keeps a Pixel for 3 years!

If the innovation was a little better, I'd upgrade every year. Although I do understand what you mean as everyone is different, so sentence above is a little tongue in cheek.

He might not be a hardware nut though

I am but I'm seeing little reason to upgrade either. It's a lot of money to spend for very little improvement.

Night mode APK is already available on the pixel 2. It's good but not amazing.

Are you just being controversial for fun? Because every single photo example I've seen of Night Mode has been amazing.

Isit amazing on the pixel 3 though? from what i heard it is

Interesting, he mentions the apps loading/refresh etc is much faster with less reloads on the reg pixel in comparison to the XL. I like the scroll on the keyboard, never had that before on my android device. He also says the XL has a very slight not bad blue shift/cooler white in comparison to the reg pixel 3.
He also states in the comments the battery life was better on the reg pixel 3 which is intersting.
Sort of excited to get my hands on it again.

Have you tried it yourself ? Unless you are taking a picture of something that has zero movement which includes your own hand I found it a bit on the blury noisey side.

Have a look at android andys review.

Enjoyed that review and gotta agree with it. I am pretty sure I am in for the pixel. Tempted by the 6T but part of me knows I will regret not having the pixel experience, camera and video I use the most. Not to mention the unlimited backups and untilastion of photos backup.

Some of the reported issues like apps closing and such will likely be resolved in updates and hot fixes so apart from the over pricing I am not sure what is holding me back.

I can't upgrade until a week on Tuesday so will have some more hands on play time this week.

I have two contracts running with EE a year apart so it kind of makes no odds as my Mrs does not care what phone she has so gets the hand me downs

and I get a new phone every 12 months.

My order has went to not being able to cancel, so 30-31st seems likely.

Oggie · 28 Oct 2018 at 12:21

Option to cancel has also gone from my order, Pixel 3XL 64GB

funguST · 29 Oct 2018 at 11:36

My option to cancel is still there. Weird as the site is now saying 7th November... So it would seem if I cancel my order abd ore order again I'd get it quicker?

Annoying thing is that they've already charged my credit card for it. Didn't think that happened until it was ready to ship.

Looking at specs and prices of oneplus6T but even though it's impressive on both counts I still feel I will regret or miss the pixel experience I have had from the nexus one through to my current xl2

Watching the event now, if it blows me away my Pixel will be cancelled. Loved my 5T best phone i've ever owned.
Edit: will be sticking with the reg pixel 3 pre order this time around.

Just pre-ordered my Pixel 3 XL via 3. Anyone know where I can pick up one of the official cases in 'fog'? No where seems to have them on-line and even Google has got a two week delivery time on their on-line store.

I've just picked mine up from CPW today

Thanks, will have a look tomorrow in advance of getting the phone on Thursday

Should have ordered from CPWH, i did however get another changed delivery date of 5th Nov now.

Quinnaay · 29 Oct 2018 at 20:48

Ordered an ultimate shield tempered glass screen protector. £10.80 shipped. Always liked there quality and fit.

Look forward to hearing the thoughts on you guys who have got it already.

How much data do you use on a average?

I go simfree because my 30gb max plan EE SIM is only £5.85pm but I only use 7-10gb pm.

Anywhere from 20-50gb p/m and a lot of use abroad
