Any of you using this phone?

How does the OS compare to the Pixel XL?

The reason the Pixel XL is so attractive to me is the Stock Android OS with no clutter or bloatware from others.

I bought a plain "Google Nexus" as my first smart phone and loved the fact that it didn't have anyone's junkware on it.


What kind of "extras" can I expect on the OnePlus 3T OS?

It's the most stock non-stock OS you are going to find. No bloat whatsoever. The additional features just add to the experience, such as the gestures.

And the development is really open, if you are into that sort of thing.

^ All of this

I have the OP3 and the OS is nice. No bloat and very streamlined and the added customization features are nice. Don't know enough about Pixel to compare it...

OP3 owner. Same as above. You add about four gestures, gain a launcher not otherwise available (which I don't use... Using Nova Prime with teslaunread instead), and that's really about it.

I was concerned about this as well. Nexus 6 was my first Android experience, and I've been apprehensive about any other (non-stock) version of Android every since. But I was pleasantly surprised. I've had my 3T for about a month, and it's a non-issue. I find myself missing other features about the Nexus 6, like wireless charging and front speakers. It's otherwise a noticeably faster and better built phone, though.

EDIT: I'm a Nova Prime user as well.

We finished in November. 3 solid months of working on it 7 days a week. Now I'm trying to figure out how to claim this shite on my taxes.

I own it -- probably my 7th android phone, but I've never owned the Pixel. I think it's the best phone I've ever had. Fast, reliable, simple, and built for users.

My only complaint would be the camera, which is a little lacking in low light vs. its competitors. Also, the Nougat update has caused a few bugs to appear, but I assume those will be sorted in upcoming updates.

Is this still a no go on Verizon? I'm probably switching from AT&T soon.

It's great. Stock-like with thought out improvements. Has a dark theme, can change accent colors, has a lot of nice touches.
