The 11 Pro Max was a pretty decent upgrade in terms of hardware over the XS Max. I've found little to complain about. The display (I'm used to the notch), battery, and camera are top notch. The Pixel 4XL is a very good device also. I love mine but am still undecided about keeping it. Biggest complaint with the Pixel is the price point is at the level of the Note 10+ and 11 Pro Max while not really having anything to justify being in that catergory. If you are going to charge flagship prices, offer everything the other flagships have or do everything that your device is capable of better than the others. Used to the camera justified going with the Pixel over the iPhone or Samsung. This year the others have caught up on the camera while offering the total package while the Pixel is a slight upgrade over the Pixel 3/XL. The main reason for me to keep it would be stock Android but I'm thinking of just keeping my 3XL and saving the money. Very good phone, no reason to hate it, but I just don't find the value in it at $1k. Will go with the 11 Pro Max on my personal line and Note 10+ on my work line and hold tight and see what 2020 brings if I return the P4XL. Interested in seeing what the S11 and Fold 2 bring next year.
