Anyone giving up on LG and moving to Google Pixel XL?

[RaRa85]

I'd rather get THIS for that amount.

Seriously sexy looking device with a similar feature set as the V20. I wonder how good that 23mp camera really is though. I've seen a lot of high mp count cameras that only end up looking good on paper.

I still LG for this terribly handled launch and "everybody gets a pre production unit" mentality but I can't settle for a nice camera with no manual controls. Third party apps never have the same access to the camera as the manufacturer either. Maybe one day that will change but that's how it is right now. Simply no choice but to wait for this slooooooooow release of news. Its like they have is a date and now are still holding out on price for T-Mobile and other carriers. In the meantime I've been rekindling my love with the Lumia 1020 just for fun and just in case 10-11 months down the road I get hit with a bootloop. Hopefully though the 1020 can serve as an occasional trip down memory lane and not in case of emergency.

Do you use the manual controls often? I have the G5, and the V10 prior, and probably only used it 6-7 times.

Pixel has the HDR+ feature, with zero lag. Thats a big selling point to me, because I probably take more evening or night shots.

I'm sure he will reply but if you look in the V10 picture thread he probably has the best pictures in there, mostly, if not all, in manual. He's really good.

Being a camera guy I use manual 98% of the time. Sometimes I use the same settings for a number of shots but I'm usually at least adjusting the shutter speed and ISO to my liking. I just don't like letting the software do the work for me except every once in a while. I don't always use manual for video though except for when I know I can get better results than the default. But that's just me. Honestly I could still be using the Sony Xperia Z3 if I didn't love manual controls.

Thanks. LG just does it for me with the controls. Only reason I'm sticking around.lol

Agreed. I leave my Note 7 in 1080p for battery life anyway. This device looks like the real deal, but sadly not Verizon.

I would get this if Verizon compatible. Curse Verizon's superior coverage!

Verizon is promising fast on updates on Pixel but still think the V20 is the better path.
Pixel has an advantage because the 821 will support Android 8.0 and 820 is uncertain

Does the v20 have seamless updates?

I'm not concerned about the phone just for updates..... Some might be but I prefer the camera setup and audio of the V20

Thats a nice one....I think ill look into it too....

No way. Need my SD card and removable battery. Very happy with my 3 LG phones. Swapping out the LG G5 so Bring on the V20!

 

[RaRa85]

I just saw your comment. Thanks.

That honestly would've been my next phone if it weren't for the 3000mah non removable battery.

Yeah, I'm also weary of the small battery as well since its non-removable BUT its only a 1080p screen which should hopefully be less power hungry!

When I saw AC post that article last week on this device, I was impressed at how nice it looked! I'm wondering how good the 23MP camera of the Zen3 will be as well but I'm just hoping its as good as LG's.

It is! The V20 is my first choice when it becomes available but if for some reason I can't or don't get it, the Zenphone 3 deluxe ($499) will be my second choice.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe up for pre-order in U.S., shipping later in October | Android Central

I'm not sure. Before it was a toss up between the Note 7 and the V20. Now it's a toss up between the V20 and the Pixel Xl. I like the look of the Pixel XL, and the somewhat future proofing with the 821. I've only had Note series phones for the past four years, so this is uncharted terrain. Reviews and my own hands on will ultimately decide. As of now, I don't know.

 

[scribe4food]

Or maybe the deluxe Zenphone.

 

[GrooveRite]

Zenphone deluxe is sold out!! DAMN!!!

The only updates I want are security updates or updates to fix something that doesn't work (like bluetooth in iphone 7 plus). I don't get the obsession with updates. I find phones are optimized for the version they come out with and updates often screw things up.

Google Pixel XL looks like the real deal. Really impressed with their camera demonstration in the live presentation.
Plus faster, newer 821 processor than V20.
AMOLED screen (better battery life)
Larger battery
New version of Nouget of 7.1, instead of 7.0

And best part - pre-order today and delivery is by Oct 20 (verizon says).

LG lost so many sales by dragging their feet with this terrible V20 launch, which began teasing exactly 60 days ago.
