Just saw a hands-on review and they showed the double-twist to launch the camera, that's one of the big feature for me. Cool, I didn't know they have it by default...
[X Style (Pure) General] HaggisIV:
This was a really disappointing launch in my opinion, and I see no incentive to buy this phone at all.

-huge bezels

-no dual front facing speakers

-no expandable storage

-no removable battery

-locked bootloader

-only 2 years of software support

-iphone-esque copycat appearance

-ridiculous pricetag

For a phone that was supposedly google's proper answer to the iphone, it has quite a lot of drawbacks.
[X Style (Pure) General] sooyong94:
Let's not forget updates - it's even painful to see a lowly, nearly 2-year-old Galaxy A5 receiving Marshmallow (along with the latest security updates) faster than Google... :(

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

Even funnier still Samsung (which gets a lot of flak from the Android community) did best (apart from exploding Note 7s) in the Android ecosystem so far... Heck their 'slow updates' are a thing of the past....

To add salt to the injury even a 3 year old+ Galaxy S4 has the September security update...
[X Style (Pure) General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Looking at the spec comparison of the 2 devices on GSM Arena. The Pixel XL is not that far ahead of the MXPE, when you consider the price difference. Especially now, with the MXPE being on sale these days.

As much as I have said for years, "I'm getting a Nexus/Google Phone next..." It seems every time, a 3rd Party OEM comes with a great Android Device, that stalls me from going Nexus/Google. I did transform my HTC One to a "Google Edition" and that was fun. But that's the closest I've come to a true Google phone. And now, I'm not sure I may ever have a Google Phone at this rate. If they keep these crazy prices up next year, I suspect some 3rd Party OEM will get my money again.
[X Style (Pure) General] HaggisIV:
At this point I'm not even sure what my next upgrade will be. I don't like where motorola is heading with their new phones, and they've been anything but punctual with updates. If google completely drops the nexus line and only keeps the pixel devices at the current price point, I don't think I'll be going with either of them.

Currently, the only viable alternative I would consider buying is the op3, since it has decent hardware for a (relatively) fair price.
[X Style (Pure) General] namartlu:
I have the same feeling... What about Nexus 6p? Is it worth switching to? Especially on the camera department, want something better in low light and it seems 6p seems pretty good there? What would I be missing though switching from MXPE to 6p?
[X Style (Pure) General] alershka:
I think you should add "other" to the poll.

Like most said here, the Pixels are ridiculously expensive. I personally would not put another rmb into Lenovarola's hands due to horrible support.

I am waiting on deals on the 128gb Nexus 6p. If I can get one around $450, that is the phone I would buy. I will miss the removable storage but I think that is about it.
[X Style (Pure) General] gemtin92:
If I were you I would never change snap808 device to 810. Snap 808/810 are worst cpus from qualcomm. Just wait for good priced snap 820 devices.
[X Style (Pure) General] raywallet:
No wireless charging!

Honestly, I'm not against with the higher price, because Google can also have it's own flagship

However, this pixel device is not worth what we are paying for.

Just like sony xz, excuse me? 3gb RAM for a $699 phone?

Although pixel have the specs every Android flagship supposed to have, still lacking of some breathtaking feature.
[X Style (Pure) General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I agree, I don't like where Lenovo is taking things either. I figure worst case next year, I'll get some T-Mobile USA branded device and get WiFi calling back. Or maybe keep the MXPE a 3rd year, but given the slow updates, I doubt we may see any updates after 2 years. I just hope we have better options next year.

This thread has plenty of discussion about that: Moto X Pure vs Nexus 2015

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chotton:
I recently purchased this phone (about 3 days ago) and i have rooted and put Gwiz v1 boot loader onto it. It runs very well, but the t mobile service in my area is abysmal. The t mobile device unlock doesn't work, and neither t mobile or Walmart will unlock it until it's been on their plan for 90+ days without issues.

I want to switch to AT&T towers on straight talk, but that sim isn't able to be used until I unlock it. If i were to purchase an unlock code, where would I enter it? I've got developer mode on, if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chotton:
Friendly bump.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CunnilinuxBSDicks:
I haven't unlocked a phone in a LONG time (I just buy them unlocked now), so there's a good chance the process has since changed, but I remember buying the unlock code and then entering it into the dialer app/calling it. There was then a carrier-specific recorded voice message announcing that the phone's been unlocked.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chotton:
I don't want to pay for an unlock code I wouldn't be able to use. The guy selling them says that the phone should be asking for an unlock code.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CunnilinuxBSDicks:
I completely understand... I'd be thinking the same if I were in your shoes. I did some looking around and it seems like the unlock process is no longer done via dialing a number, but rather via apps - some carriers make available an app where you simply enter an unlock code and the rest of the work is automatic, so please check and see if this applies to you.

If not, the process is going to be somewhat more difficult. You'll probably have to flash some O/CFW, root the phone, then install and use an unofficial unlocking app. My dad had to go this route for his Sprint S6 (he's now using T-Mobile). If you're using this detour, try and find, then follow, a tutorial on flashing firmware and rooting your device. I'll post some links if you can't find anything. After doing that, look around for an unofficial carrier unlocker. There's probably several here on XDA, but do note that most of them will lighten your wallet by $20-30 or so. Once you pay the developer, they'll either email you a code or whitelist your IMEI for their app, and send you the apk.

Best of luck, and have a great day.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chotton:
My phone is rooted and has Gwiz v1 custom bootloader. I haven't seen anything about unofficial unlocking apps, but I tried the official T-mobile unlock app and it didn't work on original or flashed firmware. I tried calling T-mobile, who told me to call Walmart Family Mobile, called them, they told me to call Straight Talk, who told me to go back to Walmart. Straight Talk can't unlock the phone, and neither T-Mobile or Walmart will unlock it until I've been a customer for 3+months.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shade613:
i rooted my galaxy s7 about a week ago, i woke today to every app i opened crashing on me. i figured i would restart the phone to see if this fixed anything and upon restarting the phone gets stuck on the at&t globe logo. i've turned it off and tried to boot it multiple times including clearing the cache it stayed stuck at the at&t globe logo. i then factory reset it and the phone finally booted. I've had to do this twice now is there any fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] IAintShootinMister:
While at the AT&T screen, press and hold "Power" + "Home" + "Vol Down" until the download screen appears. Press volume up to enter download mode. Once you are at a black screen with small letters, press and hold "Power" + "Home" + "Vol UP" until the recovery screen appears. From here you can attempt to wipe the cache, or just reboot. I also have the AT&T (ATT) s7 gm-g930a and have only been able to break the boot loop by doing a factory reset from the recovery screen. Best of luck!

Hello everyone,

I'm currently running the latest stock Nougat build on my 5X. I'm using cheap Samsung white headphones with a mic and an inline button.

With my old Nexus 5, when I pressed this button it would play/pause/previous/skip my music or answer/mute/hang my telephone call. Now, on the 5X, it does nothing but poping a notification saying "hey do you want to enable voice recognition when locked ?"...

Is there a way to get the old behavior back ?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] matteventu:
Who said it has the same panel of Note 7? Do you have a reliable source?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, I'm sure it's a Samsung panel like all the other phones with AMOLED.

But I kind of doubt it's a Note 7 specific panel.

And even if it is, it won't have the Samsung "Automatic High Brightness" feature that kicks up brightness to eye frying levels, since that is a firmware/software feature.

But there is an app on the Play Store which does something simliar to the Samsung High Brightness thing. Only works on some AMOLED displays:

High Brightness Mode Widget

I've never tried it but will do so if I ever get a Pixel (still debating due to the huge bezel size).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] razor237:

I compared note 7 photo at max brightness with my 6p on high brightness mode with the same photo and the note 7 was still a tad bit brighter.

Nevertheless.... High brightness mode does come in handy on occasion when out in the sun
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
To my eyes, the 6P at 100% manual brightness was about 80-85% of manual brightness on the Note7; however, the 6P with the kernel driven high brightness enabled was in fact brighter than the Note7 at 100% manual brightness. But the Note7 punches right back with the "video enhancement" option enabled and when in gallery apps, or when its high auto brightness mode kicks in which would make it yet again brighter than the 6P.

The 6P can be manually forced (via kernel) at any time to be brighter than the Note7. The Note7 can only get brighter in video applications, or when driven by the auto brightness in high ambient light conditions or in sunlight.

Where the Note7 also really pulls ahead though, is outdoor visibility specifically due to its lack of reflection from the quality of the display glass itself... puts it into a class of its own which is where this difference becomes extremely noticeable out in the sun.

Just because model #'s are "similar" does not mean the product is the same or even overly similar.
