    Is Google Fi better than Verizon?

    Re: Google Fi I would normally agree except for the fact that if you go over 15 Gigs in a month Project FI throttles you down to a crawl. We travel to Japan once a year, I get good coverage for Fi in Japan. My daughter and wife use Sprint and for 5.00 additional on Sprint we got unlimited...

    Pixel 3 XL vs Oneplus 6T

    Re: Best Cases for Pixel 3 I received my Spigen Rugged armor the day after Pixel 3 XL was delivered. This is by far my favorite case. My Pixel XL OG and Nexus 6P all had the Spigen Rugged Armor Fits well and looks good.
