It's not, usually. In some specific (and somewhat usual, currently) cases it can be. We can go into much detail, but first I would point you to learning about MLC & SLC, et al. Not sure what NAND type/implementation the Pixels use, but none of the sane options would have poorer performance...

No S-pen.

I sold my note 5 about a week after having the 7, when returning N7 there were no Note 5s available from Verizon. Man, what a fantastic device the note 7 was... Screen, Samsung Pay, Sidesync, SD for video capture, iris making it easier to use with 1 hand, etc. The freaking S pen - holy crap do...

I'm saying that the Note 7 display is much better looking than the iPhone 7 plus display. No one I've met has said different. To me, you're in the minority. The iPhone 7 plus takes more color accurate photos (supposedly, though where does the measurement of that lie in spectrum of totality)...

Very welcome. I spent so much time deliberating between Pixel XL, S7E, and V20. Very curious to hear a Note fan's impression of the new LG. All in l wish this thing had S-Pen, the gorgeous N7 screen, waterproofing, and Samsung Pay. So hopefully the Note 8 comes out :D

I have both here and can't see much difference. Pixel XL has slightly smaller bezel on sides. More comfortable to use though due to the shape of the sides.

It's JUST like the iPhone 7 plus. Not even through whole day with the phone, and it's already a non issue. I'd totally recommend the black over other colors though, as it's less of an issue when the color fades away from the screen.

105F, but I live in Florida and was taking a near 10 minute video at a horse show in the summer, in the sun. Video recording actually stopped and phone told me it was too hot to continue recording. That was on the first Note 7 (before the recall). The Note 5 did this to me multiple times too...

What about the Moto has you liking it? On the Pixel being faster: I'd think it's something 70℅ software being lighter (having less, sure, but more about being a tighter and more focused software stack), with the hardware bump being worth a third of the speed increase. 820 to 821 in real world...

Screen: I expected the Note 7 to dominate, but it's more of a 10/10 vs 8.5/10 situation. Noticeable, but acceptable. Speed: Holy crap the Pixel UI is FAST! There is certainly no way of comparing the two as peers in this category. Note 7 feels sluggish. I'm using default animation speeds and...

Total spaghetti. Totally agree on opinions of Note 7 and Pixel XL. Please post your thoughts after getting the XL :)

Pixel XL 128GB. R. I. P. Note 7 :(

For me they credited it on the following statement. Along with the $25 from Samsung. Didn't even have to call. I was expecting them to futz it up, honestly,but nope.

Re: I PHONE 7! There is a specific issue with Bluetooth connectivity between Android wear and iPhone 7. Plenty of articles around about it. Perhaps there is a work around now? Either way, it's not a good experience without Google now. Still better than Apple watch, sure, but pretty gimped...

It came down to S7E or Pixel XL Pros: Nexus-ish (latest Android, fast updates). Better performance than N7 (newer chip, leaner software). Cons: Ugly. Half assed multitasking. Lack of ultra precise input method (s pen). No SD. Less waterproofing. No Gear VR. No LED wallet case. No...
