Pixel XL vs S7 Edge

[Lepa79]

Torn between the 2. I know each has their advantages and disadvantages and that is not what I'm looking for in this post.

I'm looking for feedback from folks who have or had both. Please share you thoughts if you are one that does/did.

Thank you!

Can't speak for the Pixel but coming from the Note 7 I would miss the wireless charging, sd card option and water resistance of the S7 Edge to choose anything else.

Wireless charging, SD card slot and Samsung Pay are the deal breakers for me. I'm hooked on all. Also, I couldn't find anything that made me really want it other than the quicker updates.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the water resistance. LOVE that. So does the water parks.

To me, the screen on the s7 and the memory card slot are what's keeping me from going to any other oem brand.

If Google would open up project fi to unlocked galaxy phones, I will be buying an S7 Edge in a heart beat.

Project fi iz google way of providing cellular service. Read more here fi.google.com

Very cheap if you are on wifi most of your time. I left VZ to Project fi 8 months ago and my bill never went over $28. Again, I'm on wifi at home and at work and always end up the month with around 400mb of data usage.

Oh. My work wifi is not secure so that's out for me. I use about 10 gb a month.

Not for you then. 10gb a month will cost you $100 plus $20 for unlimited text and talk.

? Fi's service has a built in VPN for unsecured WiFi connections.

Thank you all for the feedback. I made the jump to S7 Edge. Great best buy deal on VZ. Got the Carol Blue. Phone looks great. Hope performance lives up to my expectations coming from a screening fast 6P
