Plan to get the Pixel 3 / 3 XL?

[cbreze]

Interesting, that sounds about right. I spent $650 for this phone so 3 plus years sounds about right.
Seriously though they're running out of ideas regarding new Innovations. I don't even think I'm interested in a folding phone and that sounds like a big deal coming out in a year or so. They can make slight tweaks to the camera but the pixel 2 camera is damn good as it is already. I am quite happy to be able to save the money for something else.

You know I read some poster, in one of these tech forums, say that they had a hard rule on cost. They expected 1 year of performance for every $200 they spent on a phone. Now I don't know if they ever paid full retail or anything like that, BUT I found it a fairly good guideline.

That sounds a bit dated

That sounds a bit dated

I would agree

While I know of people that do it, most I know at least do every two. Partly because they don't take very good care of it and others because they bought a two year old iPhone or older mid range Android phone already out of date and it barely works.

I do agree the Pixel 2 does still have a lot to offer for another year and should be fine. For me I personally think the improvements to the SD845 chipset as far as the GPU and ISP as well as gaining band 71 support since I'm on T-Mobile will warrant upgrading to the Pixel 3 for me. I'll take the bigger screen, bigger battery and wireless charging as icing on the cake. Again, that's why I think it's worth it for me, others I can totally understand why it's not worth the cost to upgrade.

I agree - manufacturers are starting to grasp at straws to think up new features for phones. I don't see myself getting a new phone for at least another year and a half - as long as my phone doesn't break before then!

I have a year and 2 months left of my contract. I will be either upgrading my phone or moving to sim only at that point.

Is Sim a village in the UK? Is that were the Sims live?

As in dollar amount too low?

 

[Itsa_Me_Mario]

Yeah two years ago cost of phones for OEMs went up by 40%. I'd tack 12.5% on that €200, at least. Maybe even 25%.

Too low and I'm talking US dollars...also not realistic with sealed batteries unless of course the battery gets replaced but then we add to the cost

What do you Yanks call a contract without a phone?

Nope although I've enjoyed the 2xl quite a bit, the Galaxy s10 will be my next phone.

 

[Joltcola1234]

I'll be skipping for sure, I see no need to upgrade from my 2XL.

Sounds like a good phone! What made you change your mind over the 3?

 

[bkrickles]

Love my 2xl but if google gives enough trade in value so that I can replace with 3xl and have the same payment, I'll do it. I still want to see what the final version comes with, but I'd do it if it doesn't cost me any more.

 

[wyelkins]

Probably just keep my 2XL for a while

 

[DavyPaul]

our 24 months on the Pixel is up in 4 weeks.
the main issue with it - only 32GB and no memory card.
I have the OnePlus3T with 128GB - which is really really good.
So, I suppose, will the Pixel 3 start at 64GB with a 128GB option?
If so, we will consider it.
(I'm glad it doesn;t have a 'notch' )

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying the P3XL. No real issues at all with my P2XL but if Google is gonna do the same as last year with 4-450 trade in promos, I'm in. Might not be a day one purchase but I'll be getting it none the less

If they do that might trade in but I need more ram then 3 or 4 gigs
