First Pixel or Nexus I did not pre order

[ChuckG73]

I think that really says it all. I purchased the S10 plus this year and the Pixel 4 XL does not do enough to make me want to put this phone down.

Says it all for you I guess, I sold an S10+ and purchased the Pixel 4. Enjoy!

I am still holding out. My P2XL is working fine and I don't see any good reason to upgrade yet

If it works for you,
be glad. The S10+ worked for me since last May. I switch these things up regularly.

What is your take away....

Realistically we could say that about most recent devices. There is no real need to upgrade every 6 months or even much longer depending on your expectations.

Thank you for your altruistic reasons for this post. You are letting us know that a company has not done what you wanted it too. Granted, I am not sure all of what it says. You didn't give any reasons, you have only added something many are saying.

Not sure I'm understanding. Is there a question here?

Yet ANOTHER I have disdain for Pixel thread..

 

[ChuckG73]

Okay not enough backstory........I had the Pixel 3XL and traded it for an s10 Plus, with the thought that the Samsung would get me more money as a trade in towards the P4. I do not have disdain for the Pixel 4 and was positioning myself to preorder. Overall I think the 4XL is a good phone from what I have read.

I do not think if they had gone ultra wide instead of telephot people would have been happier. Same people would be complaining about the lack of a telephoto that now complain about the ultrawide. I do use my Ultrawide on the S10+ quiet a bit and wish they would have just put all three on the P4. If I buy the P4XL I have already invested in Moment lens and will buy the ultrawide for when I need an uw shot.

Battery is decent I do not think dropping 3-400mah would be too noticeable.

Being what it is and what the S10 offers it was not enough for me to say hey Google sure take my s10 plus for 365 and send me the Pixel 4 XL 128g phone.

Per Mike Dee - you are correct no one has to upgrade after 6 months, there is also nothing wrong with choosing to upgrade

I wanted the Pixel 4, Ihave always looked forward to the next Google phone. Heck I brought the Nexus One and it did not even work on VZW when ity launched.

I love Android and was an ambassador on this site until my in-laws got sick and got demoted. I am not lemming. Just sharing my dilemma. Typically by now I would be posting my experience of the P4 just couldn't do it this year.

I never suggested that there is anything wrong with upgrading after 6 months. I've been doing that for the last two years or so.
Just addressing your comments that the
Pixel 4 XL does not do enough to make you put down your S10+.

Thanks for clarifying. I actually picked up the Pixel 4 XL because of all the negative reviews and comments. Sounds backwards, but all the complaining just seemed a little too much considering how much I like the previous Pixel phones.

I've only had it a few days so I'll reserve judgement but make a few comments that may be helpful if you're considering it. I will say that so far I am really enjoying it. I got over the big forehead quickly, love the screen quality, camera is as amazing as always, Android 10 is smooth and quick with no hiccupps, and it's just really enjoyable to use. I find myself using the gestures more than I thought. I use them on the alarm in the morning and skipping songs when at the gym or at my desk. Works perfectly every time for me. I have literally had zero issues with gestures. I'm as shocked as anyone.

Couple potential issues or concerns. Video quality is good but not on par with the iPhone or Note. Battery life isn't a huge worry for me since I'm always able to charge, but if I were not in that situation then I might be concerned on a heavy use day. Carry a small battery pack and problem solved though.

Overall it's a great phone. I think the hate is ridiculous, especially from those that never even used the phone.

Am just gutted my soli chip isn't working. Got to take it back to the store for a replacement. All those hours to set it up and got to do it all over again. Lol

Yeah.... It happens, but as you already know it's not the worst thing.

Look at the bright side, you're getting a lot of "set up experience"....

You should be able to create a backup to restore on your replacement device.

Traded my Pixel 3 xl for Note 10+ pre-order. Very happy with it. I am a big pixel fan, but nothing there with this cycle for me. Passing until Pixel 5 and Note 11. Will re- access then and see who gets my money
