You guys believe most of the leaks on the pixel 3 or you think it's a ruse for October? I've got the original pixel XL and LOVE it, but everywhere I go the forums say the 2 is better choice over the 3 if specs are true..

One thing I like about the standard Pixel 3 is that it's not a 6.3-inch behemoth.
What the hell happened to pocketable phones. I don't want a 6 inch phone. I want a 5inch phone that I can easily one-hand and put into my pocket without there being a very conspicuous bulge.
Is that your phone or are you just happy to see me.
It's my phone.Spartan@HIDevolution and killkenny1 like this. -
I believe the leaks. And the leaks are pushing me back toward Samsung. The camera on my 2XL is amazing, but I think the Galaxy flagships I've owned gave better overall experiences, especially on the hardware front.

I like the fact that the normal 3 does not have the craptastic notch.

Phoenix, the new HTC mid ranger is a step in the right direction. Looks like a beautiful first generation pixel. The blue and lavender colors are very pleasing and it's just the right size IMO. The size of the normal pixel/iPhone (non plus).

Buying a new phone today is silly. New models are very similar to their predecessors (e.g. Galaxy S9 vs S8 or the iPhone 8 v 7) and it makes very little sense to upgrade. If you're moving from a significantly older handset (3 years+), you'll get far better value for money if you buy a refurbished last gen phone. My brother managed to get a brand new Galaxy S8 for £312. At launch, that same phone cost £630.Spartan@HIDevolution, Vasudev and hmscott like this. -
killkenny1 Too weird to live, too rare to die.
When I was searching for a new phone, there was pretty much nil choice for a small smartphone with all bells and whistles...
I don't get it, is there really no market for small phones?!? I' m pretty sure we both are not the only to complain about this issue... -

I agree Phoenix. That being said, I bought two new iPhone 8s because my carrier was offering us an awesome deal because of my wifes employer. We get kick ass perks from them so we decided to upgrade from the 6s to them. It was worth it, since the speed, and screen are so much better.

That said, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is 135mm tall (5.3") and 65mm wide (2.6"). That's almost exactly the dimensions of the iPhone 6. And speaking of Apple, there's rumors of an iPhone SE2 on the way.

Yes, but the SE2 will be the size of the iPhone 6s. Nothing like the original SE. The difference between the iPhone and the SE model now will be the fact they use LCD to keep the price down, nothing to do with the size of the device. I just went ahead and bought the 8 for the superior fingerprint scanner compared to FARCE ID!

Xperia XZ2 doesn't have wireless charging, or xxLED screen. And iPhone SE2 is... well... Apple. Will it come with a headphone jack?
I would love to see a high end small form factor, and the only option is Samsung GS8 (yuck, Samsung) and Apple... Not many choices...Vasudev likes this. -
I like the size of iphone 8 but I hate iOS11. -

I think that is a hardware issue. NONE of my phones on IOS 11 did that.
-
Even if it was a hardware issue, at least I'd get the message phone was shutdown abruptly so peak capability feature is now enabled.Last edited: Sep 10, 2018 -

Please be aware that the Pixel 3 does NOT support wireless quick-charging on any wireless charger besides Google's own $80 wireless charger. It has 5W Qi charging (slow-charging on any Qi charger), but if you want to charge at 10W, that's not through Qi, but instead a proprietary system available solely via their own expensive first-party charger.

Between the poorly-implemented notch on the XL, the mandatory gesture-navigation (unlike the Pixel 2, you can't turn it off and revert to traditional three-button navigation), and this, I'm really frustrated with the Pixel line right now. It feels like they're actively pushing me back toward Samsung whenever I buy a new phone.Vasudev and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -
Be aware that despite being a stock experience, there are an abundance of reported issues with Google's flag ship phone which for what you pay shouldn't be occurring at such a high rate: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/11/05/unofficial-google-pixel-3-pixel-3-xl-bug-issue-tracker/

@Mitlov I'm pulling the trigger on P2Xl 128GB since P2 isn't in stock and P2 is expensive than P2Xl and thanks to P3, both P2Xl and 3 are priced exactly on same storage capacity and only difference is Warranty.
Anyway I'll wait for price to drop on P2XL otherwise I'm buying it. P2 and P2XL form factor are similar.
