    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: AC recommends.... But it's ok for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge or even the Note 7 to get the same title when reviews release at launch? Double F'ing Standard! Bottom line is reviews come out right around launch and its not uncommon for a new flagship phone to get the title of best whatever...

    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article I'm not going to continue with this Pixel vs. the world argument, its been done to death... What I would like to touch on though is the highly touted feature of the SD card. I've had a couple friends...

    Gave the Pixel a shot. Sending it back and getting the LG V20

    I agree with the idea, but based on the op's examples it sounds like a defective pixel rather than normal behavior.

    screen protector

    I got this one in today. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXRMVZX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not glass, but fits correctly and covers the usable part of the display. It does leave the front facing camera and the speaker exposed, but its the best one i've found so far.

    Official Pixel case. Anyone bought?

    I think you are talking about the Google Clear case and the thread was in reference to the Google Silicone case that comes in several colors (only Black is currently in stock I believe). The silicone case has a layer of microfiber on the inside to protect the rear from scratches.

    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article I put him on my "ignore" list awhile ago... I agree. Not that it looks bad, but nothing inspiring. Pretty much looks like a tablet... Kind of looks like a Kindle Fire, the earlier ones at least.

    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article Fi is great, but lets be real... Fi is pretty much a carrier and the most restrictive one at that. You get one plan and a very limited amount of phones. You can use Fi as a pro, but "being stuck" is...

    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: AC recommends.... It would be a step in the right direction, at least for me. However, I also prefer the aluminum construction over the all glass Samsung has been using lately. This is a bigger deal for me than water proofing and wireless charging.

    Can't agree with Pixel being the top based on their current "Best Android Phone" article

    Re: AC recommends.... Why the double standard? AC along with other tech blogs/reviewers declared the S7 Edge the best android phone during its initial reviews as well. Why does the Pixel have to wait? Its not uncommon, especially in tech, for the new kid of the block to be the new "best". When...

    Really blue Pixel with black front! (video)

    I saw this yesterday and I think it looks really good this way, but they damaged it during the process. I like the blue, but not for ~$140 to have the change performed and with there being a chance that phone could be damaged in the process.

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    And I agree that logically point to the phone makes sense. However, the issue could be with your individual phone (i.e. you received a bad one or a bad BT module). If we performed the same test with my phone or someone else that's not experiencing the same problem (remember, majority of users...

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    I get that, but using the same logic I can say that my Pixel works flawlessly and effortlessly in my 2016 Chevy and my wife's 2014 Mazda as did my iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and my wife's Galaxy S6... I'm not trying to discount any of the issues anyone is having, but questioning...

    How will the Pixel/Pixel XL hold its value?

    Which iPhone are you comparing it too? Since the iPhone 7 just came out, the GS7 Edge should really be compared to the iPhone 6S Plus. When it comes to demand, its not necessarily about the specs/performance... How old a device is also matters, especially in phones. I sold my GS7 Edge for...

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    No issue with my 2016 Chevy Colorado... Doing a simple comparison like X phone can do it, why can't my Pixel is not really proper troubleshooting and does not accurately determine that the issue is with the phone.
