Pixel 2's also come with a two year warranty and faster updates, unlimited cloud storage of full quality photo and video.

Might not be important to some but stuff like that is why I prefer Google phones over third party OEM's like Samsung etc. Though I admit the S8 is one sexy device.

I went from S6 to 7 to Pixel 2 and love it. Stock android, no waiting ten years for updates or features and the support through google. It was also like $100 cheaper (and had a home mini) than an S8 which was my second choice. Camera is awesome which works well with the unlimited photo storage. Would buy pixel again.

The new OnePlus 5T looks pretty interesting, and the price is hard to beat. Might upgrade my OP3 at some point.

Got the 8/128 version last week. Amazing phone for the value, camera is OK but can use Gcam and an update will be arriving soon as per OnePlus.

Amazon Drive storage, photos unlimited if you have a Prime membership for $80, $12 for 100GB or $60 for 1TB video or file space.

Looking for a new phone and really thinking hard about the oneplus 6. I'd like keep the headphone jack, expandable memory would be a plus but not a deal breaker. Currently using a galaxy s7. Anything else worth looking at? Is the s9+ worth the extra money? Anything else I should be looking at?

If I was getting an Android phone right now, I'd be looking at the Blackberry Key2.

With the S9+ you're getting a larger battery, better build, much better screen, much better camera, full waterproofing (vs. none), etc. To me those things would be worth it, but that is up to you. If you can hold out another 2-3 months for the Pixel 3's that would be even better, but you will lose the headphone jack and expandable memory, so maybe not a great option for you.

Not interested in a physical keyboard.

I want to purchase the phone outright but was hoping to keep cost under $1k. Couple of the guys I work with have the oneplus 5t and spoke highly of their experience with that model and the oneplus 6 reviews well, especially at its price point.

I know s9+ and pixel 2xl would be top of the line but some other phones like oneplus 6 spec out well.

[shakalaka]

Check Kijiji for pricing, you can easily save a couple hundred even on brand new units.

I know two people with the 5T and they both love it.

I don't think you can go wrong with the 6. It just depends if you think the added features of the S9 are worth (300-400$) it to you. There is always a sacrifice but in saying that, the 6 looks like a great phone.

Pixel3 announcement is next month and as usual Google is reaching out to youtubers to get permission to use their clips.

The weird thing this year? They've reached out to a bunch of people that bashed the design of the Pixel 3 (based on the leaks). Is Google pulling a Lewis Hamilton and embracing their haters? or have they been trolling by leaking a bunch of fake Pixel 3XL and actually have no plans for a notch?

Wow, nice LewHam reference there haha.

[Xtrema]

Well either Google has one of the best viral campaign ever for a phone or one of the worst security practice for phone maker.

[Mitsu3000gt]

The Pixel 3/XL is either the most leaked phone in history, or a VERY clever troll:

- Months ago we had full press renders, live photos, case manufacturer press images, screen protectors, etc.
- A month ago, you could buy early models from a Russian account for $2000
- Multiple spottings "in the wild" in past weeks
- Someone left one in the back of a Lyft

Surprises are generally few and far between in the smartphone world but this brings it to a new level haha. Maybe the phone is nothing like anything we've seen already and Google got us all.

If it's a troll though, about all they can do is surprise us by not having a notch.

I ended up picking up a brand new OnePlus 6 off of Kijiji last week. Took way longer to change phones than I should of and maybe I should of held out for the pixel 3, but I'm happy with this OnePlus so far and the price was right.

Rumored 6T is a sexy beast.

I'm looking forward to this one. The possible in-screen fingerprint sensor is a cool feature

Rocking 835, no need for 845. But 855 next may prompt me to upgrade and hopefully they improve on screen reader by then

Best offering from Bell in the Android world right now? Smashed my phone, will steal a "free" upgrade from one of our other lines. Still been enjoying my S7, it's been fucking bulletproof (just not shatterproof).

Labor day long weekend, the big 3 were giving away free S9 and S9+ along with BestBuy Gift cards. ($200 for S9, $150 for S9+), as long as sign up for a new plan that's $80/mth or more.

Wonder if retention will honor that.
