My Nexus 6P is dead... A new 6P or a Pixel??

[Graymonkey]

There is no other phone out there right now that I can confidently say will get the security updates in a timely manner going forward.

You can't confidently say you'll get updates in a timely manner with the 6P, either. There are a few threads about that.

Alright, so I need some input from the AC community.

I am a klutz and recently dropped my 6P so it is now dead....

So here's the question - If you were in my shoes, would you get another 6P or would you drop a bundle of cash for a Pixel?

And just to clarify, I dropped it good so a simply screen replacement is out of the question (don't ask)....

Thanks!

If you can pay for it I think you should go for the Pixel.

From my own personal experience, I can say that I have never experienced a delay in updates with my previous 6P. I think that sometimes there is a variation between people when they use the term 'delay'.

Prior to breaking my phone, I was running N with September security updates. To me, that is pretty damn up to date.

Yea, honestly, that is what it really came down to. At the moment, I can't really swing paying twice as much.

I don't think there was a "wrong" answer here! Get a Pixel if you can afford it, GREAT CHOICE! Get another Nexus 6P for another GREAT CHOICE! Or consider another good value priced phone like the Axon 7, One Plus 3, or Honor 8 ANOTHER GREAT CHOICE!

Did I SHOUT GREAT CHOICE enough! lol

If you actually read what I posted you'll see that I specified original resolution, not 'hi res' (which isn't what we get anyway). Here's what is provided//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161012/72fd3570ddc61c10527cb53c828e68d7.jpgwhich is a compressed image that doesn't have the same quality as the original image.

I'm glad you pointed that out, I didn't even notice it. But you don't have to be a little smart *** about it.

Lol! Not a bit of disagreement from me at all!

I wish I had passed on the Note 7 instead we got 2. Now we're using my 6P and an old Note 3 waiting for delivery of 2 LG V20s. If there were a 256 gb pixel or if it had an micro sd card slot, I'd get the pixel XL.
