So I normally do not post but I thought I'd share my experience over the last few weeks. A little backstory, I own the pixel XL, pixel 2XL, S9 and note 8 so I'm not necessarily in one camp for the other. I've had a pixel 3XL since the release date and contemplated going to the S10 plus at release. I guess in my mind I wanted bigger and better and listened to the hype machine. So for a few weeks I struggled with the decision and then two weeks ago I bought one from Verizon store. Well I ended up returning it two days later and paying the restocking fee and going back to the pixel 3 XL. and then because I hadn't learned from that experience, last week I ordered a S10+ from Samsung with the trade-in deal. Got it on Monday and shocker it's in a box ready to go back to Samsung today. I'm not sure if I'm over critical but I still prefer the pixel 3XL. Yes I know it has a smaller battery, lot less RAM and the mother of all notches... But.. I just keep fighting myself going back to the "experience" that is a pixel device. There's something to be said about minimalistic design and user interface. While Samsung's new UI has a greatly improved for the touch wiz days, I sometimes still feel that it's more of a burden to flow through then stock. Please don't get me wrong The S10+ is a beast and a great phone. Coming from any other phone I probably would have been extremely happy and kept it. In the end I just found myself trying to find apps and launchers to mimic my pixel experience. Maybe I didn't give the S10+ enough time in hand to truly appreciate what Samsung has done. I guess I'm kind of looking for advice from all of you as to what your experience has been if you've come from a pixel phone to this phone and if you regret or are glad you made the jump. Thanks
