What phone are you switching from to the Pixel 2?

Wow. Not impressed with the V30?

Very impressed with the v30. I wanted the Pixel because of the fast updates, lean Android and top notch camera. Of course the V30 has some interesting camera features and amazing hard to beat audio. I was just ready to switch to something else and the Pixel audio is actually better than a lot of other phones...not as much output as the V30 when High Impedance mode is active, however enough to drive most headphones.
I'm impressed with the Pixel and there are features that aren't even activated yet.
I also still have my V20 and I'm getting a free plan as a tester for Mint Sim so if I want high end audio I'm good.

Samsung S6 to the Pixel 2 ... wow. Colour me impressed. Loving the Pixel 2 so far. Mind you, my only real complaint about the Samsung S6 was the horrible battery life I was experiencing. 40% at noon? Hated having to plug the thing in all the time.

Pixel 2 is working well and I"m also trying hard to find "Gogole" ways of doing the tasks I did on the S6 rather than mod the heck out of the Pixel with different launcher, different keyboards, etc. Really tried to start fresh.

I replaced a U11 and S8.

Which one was better S8 or U11 for camera?

My personal preference would be the Samsung, but only just. Both are excellent.

If I do decide to pull the trigger on a Pixel 2, I'd be coming from an Honor 8... Which is proving very hard to put down. We'll see!

Galaxy S7 to Pixel 2 XL. Took advantage of the Verizon trade-in which expired on 11/22 and resulted in a 50 percent discount.

Jailbroken iPhone 6S on iOS 10.2. The jailbreak scene is basically dead and 2 years is the longest I've ever had a phone. Before that, I had Android phones for years. I ordered my Pixel 2 XL a few hours ago with expedited shipping and my order status says it'll arrive on November 29. My friends will have to deal with the Green Goblin making a return.

Getting my first non-BlackBerry phone in a decade. Coming from the KEYone to Pixel 2 XL.

Oh wow! Congratulations on your BlackBerry journey and on coming over fully to Android! How did you like the KEYone?

The KEYone is a good phone but the screen is definitely much smaller than I prefer and had trouble with app scaling. The biggest pet peeve of mine was the Bluetooth. Because the back of the phone is rubber, I had issues connecting with my car and Fitbit.

Oh no! I can definitely understand how that would be an issue.

Went from the Nexus 6P to the Pixel 2 XL. I kept the 6P and still need to swap out the battery (procrastination on my part).

V20 to Pixel 2 128Gb.

The V20 needs an update, BAD.

I love the clean OS with amazing cameras.

Deal was made even better with a $200 MasterCard by being a veteran and switching over from ATT.
