From HTC. You know, before Apple copied their design for the iPhone 6.

Well at least you are admitting it looks extremely like the 6 now, lol.

No one is saying that, people are just laughing about it because of how much hate the iPhone got about big bezels and antenna lines. Now Google has pretty much an identical looking phone and Android fanboys are getting their panties in a twist just for the fact that people are saying they look a lot alike.

Pixel or Pixel XL?!?
Still can't decide.
Currently have 6 Plus.

Pixel for me. I do kinda wonder why the huge empty bottom bezel. That space could be a front-facing speaker or front fingerprint scanner, or something. Wasted real estate.

I like the iPhones physical design. That's not why I hate apple. I don't know any android "fanboys" that disliked it either. Like I said, iphone 6 was a HTC copycat, but it doesnt really matter. All metal phones require antenna lines. Cant really escape it, so they will tend to look similar in design. No big deal.

Think I'll stick with my Nexus 6P for another year.

You didn't share that opinion in the last thread, here is a direct quote from you:

What's the price for the Pixel?
Posted on 10/3/16 at 11:29 am to Dam Guide
Let me clarify. I dont mind the bands. I dont like what apple did with the rerouting of them and how thick they are. I dont like how they go around the curve of the phone now.
Posted on 10/3/16 at 12:07 pm to whodatfan
If you get a chance to see a flat black in the store, check it out. The antenna lines are almost not noticeable. Looks nice, far better than across the back. The camera bump is by far its worst design point, especially on the plus with the double camera. The lines look bad on the non black colors though.

I saw the stealth black i person at work. Its nice. The bands on the rest are poo.

disappointed they're not introducing a watch. If google home works with my smartthings hub i'll probably get it. If not i'll probably wait until it does.

No one knows. Speculated leak by AP says 649 for the 32gb Pixel unfortunately. That means prolly 799 for the XL 128gb which is what I want.

I'm more disappointed about there being no 64 GB version. Google cloud storage options are great but it seems silly to only offer 32 and 128
Posted on 10/3/16 at 12:48 pm to wizziko
It will be also interesting to see google offer financing not tied to Fi like AP also speculates. They're suggesting google will offer a financing/upgrade type option like apple currently offers. We will see about that.

So say the phone uses about 8 gigs right off the bat. I just cant imagine what you would need with 24 gigs of storage when you consider you dont really need to have music, videos, or photos on your phones hard drive.
Sure if you were going on a plane or going in the woods and wanted to download some stuff for a little while you would need to put those things on the hard drive. But 24 gigs worth of stuff is a lot. Let's call it 14 and say you use 10 gigs worth of apps (although this is high imo).
