I have it on mine....so far it's a good experience. Been using it as my daily driver without issues. Gestures are pretty slick (I wish you can swipe left from the home button instead of the disappearing back button, but otherwise pretty great.)

I'm not exactly sure why people have an issue with the chin...but maybe because my Cro Magnon fingers don't have the range of motion to reach all the way to the bottom of the phone to reach buttons one-handed, so I appreciate the buttons being a bit higher.

I try to keep mine as simple as possible:

I initially thought so, when I heard the screen size. But the actual phone size is only very slightly larger than the Moto G5 Plus, so I'm definitely going to give it a look.

Yeah, I wish I could turn off the ability to swipe to GN entirely....I can't stand that it's there and non-functional. I may start playing around with Nova Launcher just to get around that, but I'm hoping this is a GN issue, rather than a G5 one, and that an update will take care of it.

Yes, worlds better!

I almost never used NFC - after the novelty wore off, it seemed just as easy to pull out my debit card as to use Android Pay.

I'm having the same issue. It's a shame, because other than that the phone is very snappy.

Hi, I have been using the Pixel since it came out, mainly because I saw Assistant as very promising (and wanted to try Daydream). I came to the realization that, despite a decade of using flagships, that a midrange phone would likely meet my use case. Short summery: love this phone...

Hi, Based on bad experiences with several apps' battery drain (Facebook comes to mind), I've usually tried to use webapps and mobile pages in place of apps whenever possible. I've just always assumed there's less background processes and cruft in going that way, and it keeps my app drawer...

Mine is creaky on occasion when I push on the back near the volume buttons, and it goes away when I slice the back from side-to-side. I don't really pay much attention to it, but it's there.

Any idea if Twitter is supported? I get FB updates from Chrome, and would really like to ditch the twitter app.

I sold my S6 in favor of the 5x. I decided to give the S6 a shot, mainly because I had an upgrade and the 5X wasn't out yet - I wanted to see how Samsung Pay worked. I set it up to be as stock as possible, but the day-to-day experience wasn't nearly as smooth as my Nexus 5, so I swapped...

Yeah, I just turned Ambient Display off and Notification LED on, and just hit the button to see my notifications.
