It's only photos and videos from the Pixel device. Make sense that the storage is probably "forever" especially with people here changing their phones like every 3 months.
Modern web pages can also be bloated as fuck and make even "snappy" phones grind to a halt.
I want the fastest CPU because sometimes, for whatever reason, a lot of shit is thrown at it. Those times when it's at its slowest is when a faster CPU really matters because you're probably strained on time and really need to send that message, find those navigation instructions or open that document. Storage performance also plays a big role here.

Two other problems that compound the Pixel for next year's release related to comments that the Pixel is late in the cycle:
- Because Google is now in the premium phone market, its direct competitors are Samsung's Galaxy and Apple's iPhone. But Google's release of its phones comes much longer after its computers, losing potential market share from people who are investing in premium devices and people in education. It needs to move up its release schedule for the next few years
- If Google wants to focus on the AI component of their phones, and market the phones as digital assistants, it needs a clear differentiable USP on the AI/voice front from its competitors - this was not displayed at the Google conference

Sweet. Also it's expected to be released on 10/28. Probably going to get it especially if they do freebies like they usually do. A battery coffin and those B&O headphones would be nice.

Highly recommend not buying the ZTE Axon 7, it has severe signal issues https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12600
Oh and the fingerprint reader does not work with Android Pay https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12060

Each day this phone sounds more and more appealing. I bought the g4 and honestly wasn't a fan. I have the 6p now and all though I love it, I'm looking to switch and the v20 just sounds better and better. The other option since I love modding and custom Roms would be OP3 but at this point I'd rather wait for the 4.
I have noticed the same thing, and the last update did just artificially increase the bars. Very disappointing. And yes it has signal issues...
That's too bad. I guess I may just cancel my $277 Amazon deals.
fingerprint doesn't work with android pay if you unlocked your bootloader which is common with most phones i think.
Signal coverage is definitely worse than my iphone, but i live in an area where it doesn't matter much. The 'cheap' flagship phones typically cheap out on the antenna :/
Best to just get an axon 7 or what not and see if it works for you in your area.
amazon does have a return policy.

Fingerprint reader doesn't work on locked bootloader as well, you are forced to use a pin code.

Yea I have the OP3 and I really like it, but I am using my dad's and he is using a crap phone so I want to give it back to him once I get a new device.
Seems like the T-Mo version will come with the B&O headphones. I could flip it for some money and hopefully LG themselves will be offering a battery coffin.

Pixel gets Verizon bloatware http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/06/pixel-phones-verizon-include-bloatware-unclear-removable/

it's not bloatware if it's on a nexu- i mean pixel.
Gross.

slower than a9 in geekbench. obviously faster graphics since the 820 already had better gpu performance. 821 is clocked higher

Meh, five of them are Google Apps, and the other three are ones that were on my VZW N6, all of which you can totally uninstall.
No big deal.

Hilarious. No one but Apple has any power. In fact, Apple makes carriers jump through hoops.

Even Apple does not have power when it comes to TV. Apparently, Tim Cook wasn't able to get the type of deals to make Apple TV take off the way Jobs was able to get the music deals back in the day.
Oh well. I guess there's BF potentially. Prefer having warranty anyway.
So the 820 version doesn't have UFS 2.0 then? It's not specified.
edit: seems like both variants have UFS2.0 https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/specifications/ So the main differences are 2G ram and 821 for $200 difference

No, no, no. You got it wrong.
It's not bloatware, when they're Google apps you don't need and can't uninstall.
What does this mean? A friend is looking to get rid of her Note 7 and is considering the V20.
Google needs to get this sorted out if they want to court the iPhone crowd. Same with updates. They can't let Verizon control and detain updates, either, which they have done with other nexus phones in the past.
I don't even remember the last time they even talked about Apple TV.

Preorders for the V20 start tomorrow on AT&T for the low cost of $830.

Who said high end phone pricing was dead?
Just saw that on twitter, Guess I'm sticking with my Silver Pixel XL. Was hoping it would be $600-700 range, At $800+ I'm out.

More Verizon Pixel news. Bloatware will install after activation, but be uninstallable.

Sigh. It's not that bad, especially if V. messages isn't the default, but this is still infuriating. Fuck Verizon.
might be on the screen protector out of the box.
I swear they did that for a few phones in the past lol.

Fuckin dropped my OP3 today...luckily I had tempered glass on so the bottom of the tempered glass cracked and not the screen so I was happy
Until I looked at the top where the screen protector doesn't go and saw some damage...even though it's small i'm still pissed off....fricken curved screens! (yes I did have a case on)

Put this in the Google event thread but thought I would put it here too:
Zenfone 3 deluxe with sd821 up for preorder on Newegg for $499. Ship date 11/1.
Seems to be a good deal.
Also the Moto z is now unlocked for GSM carriers on Motorola's site for $699. I'm also considering that. 64gb and much better looking.

3 Deluxe 820 is $499
3 Deluxe Special Edition 821 is $799
Might be a mistake, The 821 version is supposed to be $799 according to most sites that posted the info today.

I have been using a OP3 and Axon 7 the last few days. Really like the Axon 7. Settings and options seem to be better and the speakers/headphone output is insane.
One hold up, like the OP3 is the camera, coming from a iPhone SE.
Thinking about just going to a Galaxy S7. Really going outside my budget though. Or is there another $400ish android phone with good battery life/camera/headhone jack/etc?

Moto Z Play, currently the best battery life of any US phone, that includes the iPhone. The camera is good, not great. Its $450 unlocked. Check the reviews on YouTube. Has headphone jack. Is 99% stock and 7.0 update is in Q4.

Unfortunately it runs the SD 625.

Not sure if I'd buy a Motorola phone right now given that Lenovo has gotten rid of the entire company at this point. I'd be worried about the future of their devices since they haven't given a firm date for Nougat on last year's phones like the Moto X Pure and security updates have been few and far between. You'd spend $450 on the Moto Z Play and then have it get abandoned next year when they move on to another phone.
