    How tough is the pixel?

    I've insulted mine a few times and even told it "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." but it hasn't flinched yet. That's tough in my books. Aside from the glass portion on the back, I find the device to be quite durable.

    Pixel videos

    I came back to here to post some video examples but popkurn611 beat me to it and did a great job of showing the difference so I won't bother. Mine show the same results except with a different device as a comparison. CHILLYWILL_95831, I appreciate your comments and thank you for your mature...

    Question about unlimited google photos

    If I had to take a guess, GP is probably using detection via EXIF data to now only not count photos actually taken using a Pixel. And regardless, the file size will show when viewing the properties in GP. But your storage quota should not decrease as a result of those.

    Has to be router (not just AP)?

    Darn. That kills the purchase for me. I was planning to deploy as standalone AP's. Using Google WiFi as a router on a dedicated subnet is not an option in my usage case. I'm moving soon and was going to pick up a three pack to replace my AirPort Extreme.

    Pixel videos

    I'm sorry but I couldn't possibly disagree with you more. The entire video is out of focus causing blur along all edges. Resolution has nothing to do with it. 4K doesn't mean better quality. It just means a higher pixel density. Once I step outdoors into natural light, all issues go away. Same...

    Pixel videos

    Here's a bad video example. Taken indoors with normal (albeit indoor) lighting. Barely any movement. 1080p 60fps. Quality is absolute garbage. Outdoor videos are great and so are photos. But this is consistent every time I attempt to record a video indoors. So bad that I end up pulling out my...

    Anyone receive Code For Google DayDream?? (Google Store Orders)

    Just got notification that the first of my orders has shipped. It's coming from IL to PA so I think there's a good chance it'll arrive before the original estimate. :) EDIT: Second order has shipped as well.

    Google photos

    Try force closing the app and then try again. The upload may have gotten hung. It's happened to me a few times on a couple devices and a force close usually does the trick.

    Video recording, quality was poor...

    I hate to be that guy... But is it possible that you have/had something blurring the lens? Maybe a protective film?

    Camera - 4:3 @ 12.3 megapxels or 16:9 @ 8.3 megapixels?

    4:3. Crop later if necessary.

    Google's ordering strategy for the Pixel

    In comparison to others, Google is still technically in their infancy with this type of release. Nexus was a much different case with a lower target audience. And the method varied from model-to-model. I don't blame Google for being overly cautious by restricting orders when their queue gets too...

    Waiting Pateintly for the XL to come back in stock

    If you haven't already, choose the option to join the waitlist for the specific configuration you want. You'll basically be put in line and notified when its available.

    Your favorite stylus?

    Not personally a stylus user. But I would assume that palm rejection is a feature that would be dependent on the device itself and/or the app being used as opposed to the stylus itself.
