Pixel keeps getting better. I've been #TeamiPhone for a while, but this is making me second guess my allegiance.
Who's considering switching from iOS to Android for this? π€
@rrhoover I've been #TeamAndroid or more specifically #TeamPixel for a while. ππΎππ½
What's making you consider the switch now? Apple's announcement for the XS (+Max) a month ago was pretty big and was making me consider doing the opposite
@rrhoover My exact thoughts every time I see the new Pixel come out.

@rrhoover yeah. Same... I feel so... conflicted. But to be fair the only reason I switched was to get in on this sweet iPhone X action but that now feels played out. I would honestly switch just for the feature where you can screen a call! Also, Project Fi is a bit of a dream and I miss having that.

@rrhoover personally I've invested in the iOS ecosystem, not just the phone; I don't think I'll ever switch to Android.
But for others who haven't, Pixel 3 seems like a great phone feature-wise. Not sure about the huge notch AND the huge chin, though. IMO it looks kinda ugly from the front.

When you thought the notch couldn't get any bigger or uglier, Google went and proved everyone wrong.

@benbrausen , Until it shuts off for no reason and customer service tells you there is nothing they can do. Mine was just a year old, in perfect condition, never dropped, wet or out of the case and it just quit

The Pixel 3, "Notch-your average Pixel phone"

Why even add a notch if you are going to have a chin on the bottom? Why not even it out? I have the first pixel (still running strong), I have 3 google minis, chromecast and use a lot of google services, but what hurts every single time is the lack of creativity and the amount of compromise. To simply put... they have no balls. They look at what other people are doing and just copy and paste, sometimes add a new feature but also remove good features.
The presentation today was cringe worthy. The audience was mostly silent, nobody was impressed by anything. The speakers were boring, google Assist could have done those presentations. They showed the phone's back so many times that it was like they were embarrassed of the notch.
And they are only releasing this phone on Verizon? Is this 2010?
Samsung's phones look the most appealing this year, nice storage, nice screen, headphone jack, s-pen, great specs... what keeps me from buying a samsung? Their bloated software, their desire to force down your throat Samsung services which are crap.
I will keep my Pixel 1 for now.

@tostartafire with you on this one. I'm still enjoying my Pixel 1 and been using Nexus before and I love them. But I would love to see Google innovate more and also be more aggressive on their features. It just fails to give you a deeper story. All this 'become a superhero' crap is so 2014. My pixel should last another year for sure, probably changing to Pixel 4 next year.
once upon time google told the world how to make good phones with the nexus, now it just follows apple for some high price smartphones. Sure the features are cool, but are worth 1k?

I've been #teampixel for two years and #teamandroid for more than five! The Pixel is the absolute best android phone you can have! Hasn't slowed down, I think it crashed once, durable, no cracked screens and thee best pictures! iPhone users ALWAYS ask me which iPhone I have by looking at my pics - NOPE Google Pixel folks! Cannot wait to purchase the 3! Don't hesitate - just get it!

I find a lot of the tech circles (pixel subreddit, etc) discussing the "notch" and "chin" size on this thing, but I'd like someone to poll to see if Normies even care. Personally, any notch is the same to me no matter the size. Phones look fairly monotonous across the board and some mm of notch or chin is barely noticeable.
I'm a Pixel person due to getting immediate updates and all the latest accessories, not for the design of the phone because I'm the only one who sees that anyway...
That said, this price tag is HIGH for not that much change versus my current Pixel XL first gen. I'm likely going to wait on some after-a-week reviews from heavy usage and not trust first looks.
@thatmattgardner I could live with some ugly design, but this one is too ugly, as much as I like google this is a step back. Although I will take a look at it in the store to see if they are actually that ugly. Pixel 3 doesnt look that bad though
