Still have the OG Pixel XL with no issues. On Verizon, and they usually have some good Black Friday deals. Plus by then, I'll have $65 of device dollars to put towards it.

MSRP of $699. The 4a(5g) is pretty close spec wise for $499.

Pre ordered the 5. I have the 3XL. Starting to wonder if I shouldn't bail and get the 4a 5g. Not sure if I'm going to be ok with the 6" screen. Wish they would have made an XL.

Why not the one plus 8 pro or 8t?

I just pre-ordered one. I have a 2 that's going on 3 years and still doing well, but I just want to be safe.

It says the chipset is 765 instead of the 835 on my 2...will I notice, or will the increased RAM obscure the delta?

Interesting that it comes in only one storage capacity: 128GB

Super pumped that they brought the rear fingerprint back. The 4 was stupid.

I think I'm hanging on to my 3xl a little bit longer. I like that the 5 brings back the fingerprint scanner and the wide-angle lens would be really helpful for me, but I wish it had an XL version and I wish it was a little more powerful.

Just wondering if they will drop the price significantly for Black Friday. They have in the past

The fingerprint sensor is quite literally in the perfect spot. Have you ever used a Pixel?

bro, trust me it's in the correct spot. I've had 3 of these google fingerprint phones going back to the Nexus any will be 4 by Christmas. It's amazing and also a make or break for me if not included

This is a troll post, right? Because the rear fingerprint sensor is the best thing to ever come out of the Pixel.

That's like saying your wish women's tits were on the back of their knee. No, they're in the perfect spot right where they are and so is the sensor on the pixel.

Man you gotta wait until black Friday with the pixel line. Unless your phone is just flat out broken.

Just to echo everyone else, the back is the best spot. It's a natural place for your finger to fall, and it does double duty as fingerprint scanner and notification shade pulldown.

I hate it, I currently have it on my s9. When it’s laying flat on my desk I have to pick it up.

I don't know why. but this made me laugh. Oh the horror of having to pick up your phone.

I like it being on the back, but am indifferent to wherever it would be. I might thing otherwise if I ever have a phone with it on the front again.

Back to OP, Amazon is having their prime day in a few weeks. A lot of retailers are planning to do something in response. This probably will not affect phone prices, but you may want to keep your eyes open just in case.
