Which Cell Phone do you own?
-
The new Pixels are underwhelming, which is good for me since I'm still very happy with my Pixel 2, easily the best phone I've experienced. But I do hope Pixel 4 is compelling.

I'm probably going to get a Pixel 3XL in the next few weeks. I work as an Android developer, so it's effectively a tool of the trade. Plus my Nexus 5X is getting way past its sell-by date, and it wasn't a great phone to begin with. I went through three or four under warranty…
That said, Samsung have the Galaxy 10 coming early next year, and it sounds like a step forward. They're also working on a foldable phone, as are LG and Huawei, which sounds really interesting.

I had a Nexus 6 by Motorola and it was an exceptional phone. Overly gigantic, but great display and front facing stereo speakers. The one drawback was common to all Androids I've had sans the Pixel 2: eventually it would bog down.
Stock Android, specialized image processing hardware, and excellent camera software are compelling advantages of Pixel.

@MP:
I went from Apple to Android in 2011, and was finally tempted back by the new iPhone XS Max, went all out with the 512GB phone, plus the stainless 44mm LTE watch, picked up on launch day, I was excited to be back… Within 2 weeks they've been returned and I'm back to my Samsung Note 8.
They were very cool, sexy as hell with the polished stainless finish, and felt great in hand. The problem was that in the two weeks I had it it dropped at least half a dozen calls mid call, and removed the time stamps from all my messages so were all in random order... Since I use my phone for work it was just unacceptable, sadly. Luckily Apple customer service is excellent, and they just refunded it no fuss. Offered a swap but I'm going to wait for them to iron out the kinks, it sounds like the calls dropping is a random issue at this stage, with no known cause and no guarantee if or when it will be fixed with an update, or whether it's a hardware issue.
Unfortunately I can confirm all of this. I too went for the Xs and Wi-Fi /cellular connectivity is just plain awful despite the latest software (12.1). Too often I had no service at all and too many times it dropped calls. Something I've not experienced before with my old device in the same places. It's a great looking and premium feeling phone, no doubt, but such an immature package is definitely not worth the big money they're asking for it. I switched back to my old Samsung S7 which never let me down in 1,5 years of its usage and I never thought I'de be saying that but it's so much easier to handle as well.

Splurged on a Xs. Camera and overall speed a big leap from an iPhone 6. Pleased.

Pixel 3 in not pink. Amazing phone, what the pixel 2 should have been…. Sadly I didn't know they were going to discount their phones $150 on Black Friday or I would have waited. Bastards...no one will buy pixels on release date now ha, shot themselves in the foot.

Dang, Pixel 2 is easily my favorite of the myriad smartphones I've had across every major platform. I saw no reason to buck the 2/4 cycle but glad to hear positive feedback.

I just got a Samsung s10 today and it is freaking awesome. Besides the awesome cameras my favorite feature is the factory installed screen protector. It's like they thought of everything. Also my company got me the phone for free.. so I am extremely grateful.
-
Nice! I can confirm that it's brilliant. I went from the S7 to the S10 and it's a huge step forward. Besides the cameras I do enjoy the dark mode and the new gesture controls most so far.
It's such a great phone. I am most pleased.
