Best Reason to NOT Get a Pixel! - Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion

Looks like I will be going with the S7. Why?
Well the reviews of the Pixel sound great! But I cannot find it ANYWHERE.
I can find some hanging around Verizon and Best Buy, but everyone only has the 32 GB version. For a phone that has no expandable memory option, youd think they would make the 128GB version available somewhere? If it is, Id love for someone to clue me in because I sure cant find it!

I bought mine via Telus in Canada. I had to order it online because stores don't carry it, but it only took a week to arrive so I was very happy with that. I'm like you, I would be okay with 32gb today, but what about a years from now, or two years down the road, how much of that 32gb will actually be useable after Android 9 gets installed.

Does Verizon have the 128GB Pixel with free 2 day shipping? It seemed to be that way when I looked. Verizon was also showing a select phone list that included 50% off a second phone, which included the Pixel. I'm not exactly sure what the terms are, but it looked like they were reducing the retail price of the second phone on a payment plan. It also seems the $300 in account credits over two years for a $1 phone trade is also still available. Otherwise, it looks like the Google Store is showing the 128GB black in a couple weeks. I don't know if there are any phones set aside for quicker Google Fi orders.

When I called Verizon they said the only thing they had in store was 32GB but perhaps it can be ordered via the website.
However the Verizon rep I spoke to said that corporate Verizon stores will not sell it without a Verizon plan - and I was looking to purchase for use on AT&T.

If I was paying for service direct from AT&T, I'd personally go with a certified AT&T device, in order to get things like HD Voice. I don't think Google has paid to certify the device on AT&T, so I don't think you would get items like HD Voice with the Pixel. Anyway, if you want 128GB and don't want wireless service the only option is direct from Google, and they were showing a shipping date of November 22 on the black phone this morning.

I ordered the Verizon 128gb Pixel last Friday and paid to have it over nighted to me. I got it Saturday morning.

how did you order from Verizon without a plan?
it keeps requiring me to sign up for one...

I ordered the 128 GB pixel from the Google store on Nov. 9th and it just shipped and should arrive tomorrow. When I ordered it the email said that it would ship on the 28th but it took less than a week.

Lol. Have fun with your crappy S7.

Guess they went out of stock on the black 5" 128GB within a day or two. Anyone know how long it usually takes them to get it back in stock?

Can anyone who ordered this phone through Verizon advise whether and how they did so without taking out a Verizon plan?
I went to order it online but couldnt find a way to just buy the phone without needing a Verizon plan alongside?

They do have the 128 GB Pixel in stock, and will usually do free 2 day shipping.

Samsung Galaxy tab pro 12.2 pre-order on amazon

Is any one in here waiting to preorder the tab pro 12.2? Amazon has the 32gb in black up for preorder but still doesn't say when its going to be available. The white one is still not up for preorder yet though.

Ordered one yesterday. B&H Photos stated about mid-March which might make sense: one month of Note Pro sales, first. Rumors are the Verizon version of Note Pro will be released on March 6. I'm hoping for mid-March--or sooner, of course.
Just got a tracking number from amazon. Looks like it will be here tomorrow march 5th. I used 2 days prime shipping.

Seriously so soon? It is only a pre-order even as of today.
It's still showing pre-order on amazon. But somehow, they sent me a tracking number for it. I'll update it once I get it tomorrow.
Mine still shows "preparing for shipment, " but since Samsung just announced March 9 release, it may change soon. I'm also Prime. Ordered March 3 early in the day EDT. It shows in my orders, but I didn't get an order confirmation email.
6:30 PM EDIT: Just received a text that the tablet (+ micro sd card I ordered this morning) shipped for delivery Friday. No email nor amazon.com showing either has shipped-yet.

Shipped through Philadelphia early AM. ETA (south central FL) tomorrow.
Amazon still lists as "not yet released."
Now I wait for root.
@sic_lic1o1, did you get yours yesterday? You probably did and are too busy playing with it in any spare time to get back to the forum.
Yes I did receive mine yesterday. Got home late from work so I didn't have enough time to play with it much but I snapped a few shots of the tablet. I always like the big size tablet. The first thing I checked was the build quality, dead pixels and light bleed. So far I haven't found anything wrong with the tablet yet. There's not any noticeable light bleed compare to my Samsung galaxy 2014 special edition. There's also no lag so far for me.
It's a beaut all right. Thanks for sharing. Mine (my son 's, really) got to Louisville, KY. Amazon still shows not released.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Ours arrived today, but I'm sending for a replacement. There's a row of dead pixels (possible dust as it is horizontally linear--about the size of 3-4 pixels) in the upper left quadrant but closer to the center. In that skyline picture on your last pic, it's just above the pointed spire so not in a very inconspicuous spot.
Once you find those things, your mind can't "unfind" them. It shows on every pixel test screen and on every other screen. I guess it was our turn--over a dozen devices in the past three years and this is the first with the issue. Otherwise, everything about the tablet is what we were hoping for.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Amazon will overnight it to you. I like the size so far, its a lil heavy but I don't hold it much. Mine does have some backlight bleeding when i used the backlight bleeding app to test it . But nothing major compare to my note 10.1 special edition.

Thanks. Yep, Amazon overnight. We don't live anywhere near Best Buy (55 miles) which also does easy exchanges, so Amazon gets our business most of the time. Before I mentioned 12 devices. It's actually been 16. Our first tablets were Pandigital Novels. This is the first Android devices that probably won't get rooted. Now I'm supposedly thinking about the 8.4 for myself.

That's one of the soonest ones that I've seen, very nice. In my case, I cancelled my order, was kinda disappointed with specs so I am going to wait for youtube reviews as well as you all's reviews and see how the phone is going. Not a big fan of the Nexus 6's size (originally bought it as a temporary phone til the Nexus 5X went live...)

Well, at least if you do decide to order, you wouldn't need 1 day shipping since you live in the same city as where Google ships from. I really hope they ship out by the the week of the 14th just cause I have a hard time waiting for anything :fingers-crossed:.
Ordered my 32 gigabyte ice blue from the Play Store on the evening of the launch. Shipping estimate is October 28th till November 1st.
Currently alternating between a 1 + 2 and a Nexus 6. Going to keep one of those when my 5 X arrives. Just not sure which one yet. Probably the one plus due to USB Type C.

Ordered a black 32GB N5x from the Google Store within a minute or two of the order page going live. Delivery estimate: 23-27 October.
Hopefully we get our N5X's a bit early. I just checked the Google Store and estimated shipping is still at 2-3 weeks on pre-purchase (and was actually slightly adjusted down from 3-4 weeks on the popular combos).
Shipping at 2-3 weeks would put it around 10/16-10/23 ship date which should easily meet or exceed the 23-27 delivery most of us got quoted.
It looks like most of the volume went to the 6P, so we might not have to go through shipping spreadsheets like the N5 launch!

My Galaxy S3 is in bad shape, so I'm really hoping my 5X gets here sooner.
Originally ordered 32GB Quartz right as it went live with an Oct 23-27 delivery time frame but cancelled it an hour later and ordered the 32GB Ice Blue instead after seeing some better pictures of it. New delivery is Oct 30-Nov 3 which I am okay with as that puts it's arrival right around when my 6P comes so I can better compare them and decide which one to keep.
I will be using on Verizon although ultimately see myself moving to Fi later in the year.

Gearbest discount for Redmi Note 2 Prime [178.99USD]

To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.
But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.
I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account
Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...
I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.
Just buy the TDD version to get a discount
Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days
Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?
Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.
The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Pixel UK Discussion

Evening,
I've pre-ordered the Pixel 128gb in Quite Black (the blue wasn't available--waaah!) and an XL to test which is best for me. Estimated delivery 24-26th Oct.
How about you?
i preordered the 32gb in black, Oct 24, 2016 – Oct 26
i think i read somewhere blue is exclusive to the US

Way way too expensive for me. :crying:
Looks like it will be the one plus 3 for me.
I'm still on my M7 which I bought for £480 when it was new.
So yeaaaah I was not prepared for these prices.
I'd probably pay £550 for a 128GB, 5" Pixel. But that's a full £150 less than what it currently is. I can't justify that, no way.
Guess I'll wait.

M7 here too. Really had my hopes up when rumours of an HTC Nexus started. Now the Pixel is here I can't justify the cost. There's nothing extraordinary and the real killer for me is the software update support hasn't been changed from the Nexus.
I pre ordered the Pixel 32gb then cancelled the order when my sanity kicked back in. I'm just going to keep my Nexus 6P for another year. I can live without google assistant and the pixel launcher. That being said I am really excited to see what google does with the pixel brand.
I ordered the Pixel 128GB in black from CPW - tried to order on the Google Store, but it broke (clicked to confirm purchase and it just looked at me like a demented labrador). Same price as a ludicrously expensive iPhone 7, but I wanted a 'pure android' phone with the latest updates, enough storage and wanted it to fit comfortably in my pocket - so either pay silly money or compromise on one of my three requirements.
Website initially indicated delivery date of October 20th, but showed October 21st when I ordered. Presumably at these prices there won't be the long waiting lists that there were for the 6P and the 5.
I was very disappointed to see that the pricing is inline with the Apple iPhone 7. Weird, as previous Google phones (Nexus) were priced considerably much lower. I wonder where the spike in price has come from? Google trying to be as greedy as Apple?

This is XDA, I am sure your 6P will be able to get the Pixel Launcher and or Assistant. If you root it, in time you'll probably get the same Pixel experience on your 6P.
So So disappointed with the pixel phones and their prices, what was Google thinking?
Mine's on order from CPW. Delivery for 20th October. It was expensive but I figured if I didn't order it, every day I would waste time thinking about ordering it. I was like this with the Moto Z; ordered it, and then sent it back.
Thinking now though...would the Moto Z be a better phone in the end...hmmmm
I may have accidentally ordered one (Black 128GB) direct from the Google Store as I'm thinking the customer services will be better based on past experience if I get any problems.
I was torn between the Pixel and Pixel XL. Given I have a 6P the XL would have been the natural choice, however I don't think I can justify the extra cost (hard enough to justify as it is). Plenty of time to cancel/change my mind though
Same here @Azarin. 128gb in black.
The XL price was just a stretch too far, plus, I only have small hands
Ordered from Google, IMO the customer support is better than CPW. I have sent things back to google in the past without issue.
Soon I will be retiring my Honor 5x (which was a standby phone after my MotoX Style broke, and they couldn't repair it...long story..)
I've been hanging on to my HTC One M8 waiting on the new phones to be announced. The price is quite steep but is compounded by the raw deal for UK purchases.
The Pixel is 650 USD in the US which is just under 510GBP. In the US you get the DayDream Viewer chucked in as a sweetener - but not in the UK. If you want to buy that (once available) its an additional 69 GBP
So, UK price for the pack is 668GBP v 510 GBP for the same in the US......which seems to be completely taking the p!ss - 30% dearer...
I'm wondering if I should sensibly look at something else - Oneplus 3??

Op3 tempting but bigger than I really want.
I've pre-ordered on EE with an early upgrade, only a few days early.
Will this phone have loads of **** installed from EE or will this be just a google phone?
I hate it when carriers put their **** on it!

My order is in

Well I took the plunge into the 3T after owning a Z3+ for two years. Was thinking of the normal 3 but my inner geek wanted the latest. Who here is also on the bandwagon? And all this development nonsense about not supporting is just stupid in my opinion, many people who never got the OP3 and have upgraded from much older devices including developers from other places will at some point.
I decided to go for the 3T and ordered this morning. Have been using the S6 Edge plus but feel it is limited because there aren't any real roms for it. Only roms are all dated not a big deal for me to use so waiting to get my new 3T next week.

Going to be a big upgrade from my Z3+ in which I was disappointed from day one but thought updates would sort battery and heat.
I ordered some cool cases and a full screen protector. They also do the neo hybrid case that I'll get too. There some of the best cases, have a look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/accessories/compatible-one-plus-3-t3501030/page1
Also ordered last night, waiting for it to ship like it's Christmas morning. Still using my LG V10, but I find the phone too large and heavy. I know the OP3T is similar sized, but still a bit smaller and much lighter. Aside from no SD card support, I'm hoping I can last 2-3 years on it if not more.
I ordered one last night at 1203pdt and got the ship notice about 30 mins ago. So hopefully will be herd this week if not early next week
Edit.
Mines expected to be herd by end of day thursday. Wooo

I don't think most people get 128GB just because they need the space, but because it doesn't have sd slot, so if 64GB isn't enough later on then you are screw.

If I hit that point, a nice format will clean things up :laugh:
I ordered mine! Should be getting it next Tuesday. I have the G5 from T-Mobile now and it just never got any development. And the camera loses all functionality when you start using the ROMs that are finally coming out for it.
I was thinking a pixel xl 128 but it's never in stock and too expensive. I'm just hoping they release a Android N beta in a week or two...But not a big deal if they don't....and release the camera libs so devs can make sure the stock camera works like it's suppose to.
I'm excited. I'm guessing it will only take a couple of months..maybe just weeks for the dev community to start coming with gas....unlike my G5 that took a billion years.
I put an order for the 128, my only real regret is the expected date says November 29. I think they sold out because if you look on the order page it says ships in 4 weeks. But now I'm worried if my order order changes from Nov 29 to Dec 29.
Selling my Galaxy S7 Edge on Swappa on the 21st paid for $453 of the $479 price tag. So I see it as just $25 for the upgrade. I call it an upgrade because I wasn't happy with the speed of the Exynos S7 I had, and that slippery glass back was something you'd always have to worry about and if you touch it even after washing your hands it just gets ugly.
Mine is shipped and got the shipping number.
I ordered at 12:02am and received a shipment notification at 7:16pm. Got to love DHL Express. I am in California.

I was going to, but decided against it. More expensive than OP and you cant buy sim free. I'll wait and order on Monday. Just trying to work out if it is worth the extra £30 for the 128gb. I never use it, so I might just go for the 64gb.

Thats interesting, I never thought about going into a store. The website was only showing pay for device in full and then adding a pay as you go sim on top. It is still more expensive that OP from what I have read, if it was the same price I would have done the pre-order.
£18 more expensive but if something happened to the mobile later down the line at least i could go instore .
