Yep. 128 GB Pixel 2 XL is what I am going for.

I sympathize with those that don't want to spend extra for the 128 but for me it's a must.

 

[Aquila]

Yes, XL over regular.

 

[dov1978]

XL over the regular isn't just an improvement in size but also much better design. I'd be more than happy with 64gb storage. I consume a tonne of movies and music but having all you can eat data means I make great use of cloud storage or streaming apps and don't need to rely on the memory. It's also great for a serial phone switcher like me because I can access it all from anywhere on any device. My current phone is 64gb and I still have almost 30gb free so more than enough to play with

Definitely not a must for me.

I use Google Photos for all my photos/video
I use Google Music for all my music
I use Google Drive for all my files
The I download barely take much space at all and I don't play games on my phone

Everything is stored in the cloud which means I don't need it on my device. I have a 32gb Pixel XL and still have 10gb or so free on the device.

I have no reason to get the 128gb Pixel 2 XL, so will just get whatever the base model is.

Gotta go with what works for you. If they extra storage is wasted on you then by all means save the cash for goodies.

Could be good news re. front-facing speakers (but also a few mixed blessings):

I use cloud storage as well but I will still get a 128 GB. I prefer to have the extra in case I need it for movies or w/e on a trip versus not having it. Also that way I can just be lazy and not manage storage .

I have a 64gb phone right now and have all my apps, music, photos etc and I'm only using 14gb due to most of it being stored in the cloud. I'll probably get 64.

 

[mxmarcus]

Same here with 64 GB Nexus 6
Only 15 GB used for almost 3 years

Have we heard any rumors on battery sizes for the Pixels?

Have we heard any rumors on battery sizes for the Pixels?

Some rumors, nothing that's gone wide. There's a reason it's not leaking.

 

[GTvert90]

Because it's smaller than most would like?

 

[modifier]

Some rumors, nothing that's gone wide. There's a reason it's not leaking.

What's the reason? Are those who have pre-release devices actually staying tight-lipped under conscious will or does Google have the capability to track leakers down in microseconds thanks to their image identification technology? Batteries aside, I'm surprised we haven't seen photos of the fronts yet.

Wait... I know... it's a capacitor not a battery!

The rumor is some devices have slightly different specs which can help narrow down the identity of those who over share, even inadvertently. Word went wide early on that, in addition to the variety of labels and barcodes, sharing details other than super high level would get people caught and removed from trusted testing groups.

And then AA just said small 2700 large 3520 on public blog post.

Virtually the same as past Pixel
