New phone recommendations

I switched from an iPhone 6 Plus to a Google Pixel XL. No regrets.

The camera on this phone is phenomenal. The user interface is very fast and responsive to the touch. Plus the battery life on this phone now gets me through the whole day without a need to charge.

I used to be a galaxy guy, switched to the pixel xl when my note 7 has all those blowing up blowing issues. I don't think I could own and different phone and be any happier with a device. Google pixel has been fantastic.

I'd go with the Pixel if this is your first foray into Android

Loving my Pixel XL and Google Fi phone service.

I travel a lot and work in Afghanistan most of the time. The phone and service have both been phenomenal. The phone is fast, interface snappy, and in my office at work I have a full phone signal whereas before I had no phone signal in my office.

Google Fi has been awesome as well. So far I have used my phone in the states, Amsterdam, Dubai, and Afghanistan with no problems what-so-ever. Even had LTE data in Dubai and Amsterdam. Here in Afghanistan I bounce back and forth between 3G and Edge, but that is due to the limitations of the cell provider here, Roshan. Texts are free. Since I am in Afghanistan I can call Afghan cell numbers for free, calls back to states are .20/min. Data is same price as in states; $10 per Gb. I have a US phone number so family, friends and business associates in states can call me and not be charged international rates.

This phone and service are the best decision I have ever made regarding tech.
