I need a new phone and this is the one I'm leaning towards.

Anyone have any experience with it? Should I try to wait for to pixel 2?

I've had it for about 3 months and like it. Not sure how long until the 2 comes out.

2 comes out in ~October. I'd wait if you can.

I've had mine since launch. No complaints at all. Great battery and camera, and it's always snappy. Personally, I'd probably wait to see if Pixel 2 adds anything significant that you might want, like dual speakers or wireless charging.

I have the regular size one and love it. Best android phone still.

I'd wait if you can, October isn't that far away.

I'm waiting till then and possibly thinking about making the switch over. I think it'd be nice to have a full intergration of Google since I use it for basically everything email, search engine, calendar, google drive, etc.

My issues with mine are the speaker is terrible. If you dont have it all the way up you can't hear anything.
I don't receive some text, randomly. Google and Verizon can't figure out what's up. Mainly text from my wife also on a pixel. She has no issues.
Bluetooth is spotty sometimes. Have to turn it on/off to connect to other devices.
Pros: it works, great camera, great battery, and no bloatware

I have the Pixel XL, and it's the best phone that I've owned. It seems to work seamlessly after coming from Samsung phones for the past 4-5 years. The battery is also a beast. I'd wait for the Pixel 2 though unless you can't wait.

Great phone, but wait if you can. Here's a good article highlighting the reasons

Opinion: Even if you can, you probably shouldn't buy a Google Pixel anymore

Thanks everyone. Consensus seems to be to wait. October might be pushing it for me, but maybe I'll be able to make it.

That article is bullshite. The pixel is the most flawless phone I've ever had, and vanilla android is the best. Galaxy phones have nothing on the pixel.

Best phone battery I have ever had. Such a 180 from the 6P! Never lags, amazing camera. I'm still going to get the 2 when it's out though. Highly recommend whichever way you go.

Made the switch from iphone to pixel like like 6 months ago and love it. It takes the best photos with unlimited photo storage. I really like how it connects to my gmail and automatically sends me tracking notifications on my online orders.

It was super easy to figure out the operating system. It's very self explanatory.

There is also a gif search bar in the text reply box which has stepped my gif game up substantially.

Do you know how to hook one up to a TV besides chromecast? I would like to mirror my phone screen but I can't figure it out.

That's the only thing that bugs me about the phone.
