    Google Store Trade-in tracker

    Foolishly, I didn't take a pic of my tracking/box before sending it, so I'd gotten worried a little after reading this thread last week. Luckily, a few days ago I got the email saying they received it.. and not long after, I'd get the $400 trade in credit for my Pixel 5. Good stuff!

    Regular Pixel 7 Love Thread

    I've done the odd numbered Pixels,so just upgraded to regular 7 from 5. I didn't want to get a larger phone, but it is what it is. It's also quite heavy compared to what I'm used to.

    VZW Pixel 6 is $100 more but not the VZW Pixel 6 PRO

    I haven't bought a "store" phone in ages. I'm with ATT... what makes the ATT phone an ATT phone? Is the phone not barebones like ordering from Google? (edit: and looking at ATT site, the regular 6 only has the 128GB offered)?

    Comments on pixel 5 from the users

    As I mentioned in another thread, I love the screen size and am not an XL-phone kind of guy. I had early concern as when I restored data to this new phone, it definitely felt hotter than I'd expected. I'm happy to say I haven't had that happen since. And not that I'm some heavy-duty user, but...

    So Far, So Good. Only...

    Got mine yesterday and the screen is perfect. I've never bought an XL or oversized phone and don't want to. Loving this so far.

    Google Messages App

    For many years, I've used Textra as my default text app, as I'd heard years ago that the stock app was no good. I'd read it's improved a bunch, and wanted to try it out. I don't like my full texts bubble showing on screen when it comes through, so I had it set to only show the name of the...

    Issues continue........

    I just ordered a Pixel 3 because I've had ongoing mic issues with my OG Pixel. A day later, I start reading about more mic issues, on the 3. Very annoyed!

    Ive owned a Nexus 6 since release ,,would going to a 5x be much of an upgrade?

    If looking to go to a smaller screen, it's a good option. I used a 5X (for sale in the marketplace now, btw :) ) and liked it a lot. Using a Pixel now. However, from the time I had that 5X, people always seemed to love the 6, so I certainly wouldn't call it an upgrade.

    Thinking about buying 5x. Are the performance issues true!??

    Happy here too. No issues at all.

    Why didn't you get a 6P?

    Size. NO interest in larger phones. 5x is even larger than I'd like.

    What do you NOT like about your Nexus 5X?

    Other than finding out firsthand about battery life, you knew all your other criticisms before the phone launched, no? ... Why did you order one (and I mean this sincerely, not trying to be a jerk) ?
