Given the recent launch of the G6 & S8, I'm actually considering coming back to Android. Is the Pixel still worth purchasing? I know it lacks wireless charging & a decent water resistance rating but the camera is still the best out there. Thoughts?
Hi Rockitdog23!
Thanks for the question. There truly is no easy answer to this. As Android fans, we are truly blessed to have the amazing devices we do! I'm a current Pixel owner within the last few weeks, but have good knowledge on the other 2 smartphones mentioned (and hands on experience with them and previous versions).
Can you tell me a little bit more about what you expect from your smartphone. Here are some questions I ask people a lot:
1. Who's your carrier (I like to know just in case there are some good deals out there) / are you due for an upgrade?
2. What's your most important smartphone feature? Camera, screen, battery, manufacturer, overall look, etc...
3. What kind of Android experience do you like? Are you more into stock Android, do you like a bunch of extra features?
Disagree on destroy and on ugly. Pixel looks much better IMO, pixel still has better software, better support, better security - Samsung has a better display, otherwise they're about the same.Come on guys, seriously the S8 destroys the Pixel. In comparison its design is sooo ugly. Also the S8 turns out to have great battery life of 7-8 SOT. And all that for the same price.
Much better...really?

Besides, I hate looking at my iPhone 7 after release of the S8. I can however agree on the software support probably being better in the future for the Pixel. Although... Nexus 6p owners are not very happy right now.

I played around with the S8 and S8+, while the display is very nice the curved screen is not my cup of tea..Flat screen please. The thinner form factor is sleek but the extra height I'm also not s fan of. They are sharp looking phones no doubt, but the stuff I mentioned and TW just turn me off. I'm using a 6P right now, and even if I had a choice I'd prefer the package pixel offers. Pretty isn't always everything imo.
I was beginning to think I was alone in the fact that I still like a flat panel! Personally, I don't get much added value from a curved display. However, everyones MMV, and the great part about Android is our abundance of choice!
