This has been my fear with a refurbished Pixel is whether the quality is good. When I read the reviews for Google certified refurbished pixels it gives me the impression that they are heavily used units that got traded in for some reason. But as long as the screen isn't scratched up I figure it...

I am buying my daughter her first phone. Should I get a refurbished Pixel (1st Gen) or brand new cheap phone like a Moto G5/6?

I can understand that. I have never had an HTC phone with boom sound or a phone with good front facing speakers like it so I guess I don't miss it for that reason. I never really use the speakers much anyway. If I am going to watch a movie I pop on headphones so for my use I never thought of it...

Jerry and others are 100% right. The bezels are actually a good thing. If you actually had it in your hand and used it you would realize how they are actually helpful. It isn't as awkward typing and is more comfortable for the thumbs. I think the bezel hate is way overblown. Especially with the...

Ardisst, I guess after today you can ignore most of what I wrote since the updates will all be the same. Sounds like the main difference is the type of insurance. You mentioned that your bill said $11 for the insurance which is the price for the warranty, theft, and tech support help. If you...

Benefits of Verizon: 1. Some minor features like HD voice or wifi calling may only be available with Verizon version. I have read conflicting things but chances are one or both are not available if you use Google version. This may not be a big deal for some people. 2. Verizon offers theft...

It is too bad they have apparently abandoned the Maxx. Now that Verizon has ended the 2 year phone contracts there is less incentive to upgrade your phone every 2 years like there was before. I will probably keep the Maxx for another year as long as it holds up. But when I do get a new phone I...

Nexus 5X because of the more manageable size.

My wife has only used iphones and now that Verizon charges less when you don't upgrade to a new phone after the 2 years I see us using our phones for longer periods of time. She has had her iPhone 5 for 2 1/2 yrs so far. She is open to switching to Android since the phones are much cheaper so...

I look forward to using the great camera and getting frequent software updates. Posted via the Android Central App

Coal in my stocking I've been a bad boy this year A tablet I'll get? Posted via Android Central App

OK mine downloaded now. I think the data message was just a temporary glitch or something. If any of you are still getting that message just wait and check back later. Posted via Android Central App

When I check my settings for an update it says that I need a data connection to check and tells me to go turn on WiFi. I am already on WiFi and even tried it on LTE. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know how to fix it? Posted via Android Central App

I got my Maxx two weeks ago and I was looking at accessories just like you. I went with a Verizon bumper case because it gives some protection but without much more bulk. It keeps the back open which is nice so you can still enjoy the Kevlar back. So far I really like it. I also used a screen...
