Any Pixel 2 owners willing to wait til the Pixel 4?

At these prices it's not worth it to upgrade every year, though I wish I could

considering that the 2XL is still working like new and that it will get many of the software updates...I will wait another year for the 4...

I was on the fence until about a month ago but Android Auto started acting wonky and mostly not working after the latest update. Yeah odd reason and not the full story but I really like having Android Auto just work.

I've ordered a new cable to replace the original Google A to C I have, the C connection feels really loose. It doesn't snap like the connection to the brick C connecter.

I skipped the first gen Pixel because well everyone knows what happens to firsts. I love the Pixel 2 even though my first units had some QA issues. Here's hope the 4 will positively surprise us.

I'm going to have to wait for the P4 ... as much as I love new toys ... because I still have 13 more months of bill credits from Verizon, and $800 has me positively choking! I just hope that we get a whole lot of the new P3 goodies in software updates. I had my last phone for 4 years before upgrading to the P2, so I KNOW that I can live without upgrading this year (I keep telling myself!).

I'm a Pixel 1 owner who's willing to wait until the Pixel 4, or until my phone stops working satisfactorily. Honestly removing the headphone jack was a pretty big dealbreaker for me, enough to make the Pixel 1 a better phone than its successors for me.

I'll wait for the next one.

Wish I can but can't, want to experience the 3 XL

 

[Kofedajes]

I'll wait at least until the P4 will be released. Got the P2XL right now and since it will be supported until 2020 I see no reason to switch now. Plus I don't see to many improvements on the P3

OMG!! Me!! This^^^^^!!!

Waiting till next year and bought the USB-c earbuds. Lol. Mine shipped a few minutes ago.

You'll be sorry. The new camera featutes will improve your cat shots.

Holding on to my 2 XL. The notch is awful, many of the new software updates are coming to the other Pixels, minimal spec bump, a price increase, and only a $325 trade in for the current gen XL 64GB as opposed to $400 last year. Big miss by Google this year.

I have the updated google cam app installed. Can save in RAW mode, enhanced bokeh mode and the photos are already better.

The original Pixel phone is awesome and I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I actually love its hardware. Glad you are enjoying it!

I generally wait until my existing phone's battery life or performance drops low enough to be irritating, usually 3-4 years. For serious photography I'd rather use a dedicated camera. I think it's silly to chase the top end, it changes too fast.

The more I think about it the more I think I'm going to wait for the pixel 4. Totally happy with my 128 GB Pixel 2. And will get many of the software features discussed at the 3 launch. So why spend a bunch more for a minor upgrade. Unless of course there's some super sweet Black Friday deal for the 3.

 

[cbreze]

Can't justify the cost versus the value received. Not enough different or better bells and whistles.
Returned recently from a trip and the P2's cam is all the awesomeness I need in a camera. Perfect shots everytime, so not a good reason to upgrade for that. For me the gesturing required to navigate homescreens is a downside also. If I can put that off another year or longer all the better. If I need a new phone next year I might consider a P3 then as it will no doubt be cheaper. I think the phone makers of the world are struggling to come out with innovations. The good ones have been done. Upgrades are incremental in that regard. I shall just sit this one out and enjoy living vicariously thru the forum and see how the P3's play out. And, enjoy the cash saved for something else.

Did Google already release the camera update? Or did you have to manually load it?

Nothing at all wrong with waiting for the 4 especially since the Pixel 2 has an extra year of warranty. There are some camera features that won't carry over but nothing that you can't live without. I still second guess my decision to upgrade but I'm moving forward. I've reached the point of my life where I'm not going to deprive myself of something even if it's seems foolish to spend the money.

My daughter has the 1 and I have the 2. She said there's no way she's giving it up yet. And that's how I feel about the 2.

That's great....my daughter got the iPhone X last year and she's already drooling over the MAX.
