Pixel owners... thoughts after having the phone for a while?
Phone is super nice

My only complaints is the build material and soeaker. Phone is extra slippery. I'm used to Motorola phone with the curve on the back and they grippy material. I really hate putting a case on my phone but I think I might have to because the Pixel Xl is just to awkward to hold. Also the speakers, it's inconveniently located right where I grip the already slippery phone. When I'm trying to watch a video in landscape, so I adjust my grip to hear the audio.

Agree with speaker issue
Disagree with size but I guess it depends on hand size

I'm getting mine this week with the Fi simcard installed.

I don't quite know what the purpose of Fi is though...seems to give very little data

Fi is the shyt if u go overseas alot. Same data rates as if you were in the US. It's a decent deal but won't beat unlimited from a carrier like verizon or AT&T.

Saw a brand new xl on eBay for $999 since Google still putting people on a waiting list. Decided to go for it.

If I don't like it, I got 7 days to return :yeshrug: might as well give it a shot and if I don't like it then I'll stick with my s7 edge.
