Anyone having second thoughts about their pre-order?

[Rahhfue]

Second thoughts.... sure it is going to cost me $1300 with the taxes.
I think twice about spending that much cash.

1090€ over here and every time I see that number I remember how solid my nexus 6p is working...

Nope......tired of the throttling of the 6P and I still want to be on Project Fi. Did the device financing and will get a couple months worth of payments towards the Pixel XL from selling my 6P with a lot of accessories.

I'm tired of the throttling as well.... There's a thermal mod on XDA that helps a great deal. It also enables faster charging. My 6p is much better but still throttles and lags. It was really bad over the summer time.


With that being said anyone that wants to cancel their XL pre order I'll be happy to take it since I can't currently order one!

Cancelled my preorder. First Nexus(like) phone I refuse to order. Price is way to high for what you get. I think I'll get a OP3 and load paranoid.

Crap, I cant cancel anymore as it says it shipped :laugh:

Snapdragon 821 instead of older 820 already in several models. XL screens is much more vibrant than v20. Pixel will have a lot more dev and accessories support than v20. Nougat 7.1, not 7.0, with latest updates directly from Google. Don't have to hope carrier updates and no bloat.

I own a v10, I've not switched out the battery ever. I do have several SD cards but since I've popped one in I've never switched it.

Most of the music I listen to off re Yt or SoundCloud. My storage is mainly snapping pictures. Which I already backup to google photos and PC. I've used about 19gb.

Good camera that is ready to shoot quickly is a winner for me personally.

These are some of my reasoning for wanting a Pixel XL. Your priorities may be different.

If I'm gonna spend $500-600 for something thats less then the best and not the $800-900 for the latest. I'll wait til the hype dies down and pick one up on Swappa. I don't care for pay into the freebies and credits, if I can pickup a new or mint XL for $500-600 in a couple weeks..

I wonder how one is supposed to differentiate a Verizon model from a google store model on Swappa

Samsung Pay has worked flawlessly for me, I use it almost everyday and most days multiple times. Grocery stores, WaWa's, gas stations, only place it didn't work is in a small waffles and ice cream store called Nina's. Great waffles but they use one of those attachments to an iPad and it didn't recognize the card.

How does Samsung pay work with chip and pin cards as in the U.K. We rarely use swipe part of the card. Everything is chip and pin.

Just curious

I have not used the phone overseas only in the US but with terminals that take the chip I have had no problems.

In the US, most terminals that accept chip also accept tap and pay, so that would be the fallback if swipe was ever disallowed.

In the US, the swipe method is still universally allowed, which is different than Europe in general. Chip use is provided as an alternative/convenience right now - but not required.

No HD Voice for the Pixel on AT&T is a big drawback for me. Just found out that AT&T won't activate that feature for off-carrier phones.

This is so dumb. The limited time that I had my Note 7, i loved this! It was so clear! This has me partially thinking about canceling for the V20 as well. Does anyone know if AT&T is doing any promos for the V20?

Ask to see the "Unlock Bootloader" screen in settings. If it's greyed out... it's Verizon.
