Hey,
Who do you guys think will be the manufacturer for the next Nexus device. I'm reading reports that there will be multiple OEM's for the nexus and I for one don't want that to happen. One Cutting edge nexus device per year should be the norm, preferably made by Motorola or Samsung. I don't like the current Samsung Galaxy Nexus, even though I have one, the updates are taking ages and Verizon is putting the blame on Samsung. group messaging is non existent on Galaxy devices for the native messaging app. I heard LG 'might' be making it with a 1.5 Quad core processor with a 2 GB ram in it, and 13 MP camera. Let's hope that's true.

There are already many discussions about the next Nexus device going...
3500mah battery akin to motos maxx series

Vaj tswv is the creation of people with nowhere left to turn
Clearly there will be 2 or 3 Nexus phones from different manufacturers. This lets Google have more than one design and since they are all about options and being open, it makes total sense. It also creates a little competition for manufacturers to put forth a better design. Keeping Samsung and just one phone again would just mean they would throw out some boring design again so it doesn't compete with the Galaxy S III. But now that will not be the case.
Not sure how vz is blaming Google for the slow updates at this point. The fact sprint is officially updated pretty much proves that vz is not allocating an acceptable amount of resources to jb.
I agree that 1 nexus a year as the sole benchmark device makes sense but in all honesty, with the whole Samsung suit and the way ICS really matured android I think we will start to see more and more aosp devices nexus and otherwise.

Not in the next year or so. Google made it clear they wouldn't prefer Motorola in the Nexus program. I think anybody besides Motorola is a better guess.

I wouldn't want more than one OEM. If only one OEM, Samsung, is taking this long to update the Galaxy Nexus, two or more Nexus phones are going to be a hassle for google to keep updating. I think they should let either Motorola work their magic with the humongous battery, or let HTC design a futuristic Nexus based on the One X. I absolutely love One X, too bad Verizon doesn't carry it.

What do you mean taking this long? The GN was updated to JB just weeks after JB was announced. Having more OEMs will not make the process longer. If you are talking about CDMA carriers, then that is an issue with Sprint and Verizon and will not make a difference whether there are one or three Nexus phones.

So you are saying they want to kill Android by picking Motorola and pissing off all the other Android manufacturers? It's not going to happen.

It's been reported over and over for about the last 6 months. And corroborated by reports there will be 5-6 devices on Google Play near the end of the year.

Already 2 (3 technically, thought Nexus Q was pulled)
Yeah there's already the Prime and the N7...Nexus Q will be next so I think it'll be Samsung , Motorola and either LG/Sony...I don't think Google likes the non removable battery direction HTC is going in (yeah I know the RAZR is non removable too)....personally I'd love a Motorola Nexus, they have the best radios and best GPS signals! Nexus X would be cool

My two cents :
Sony or Asus but maybe Hello Moto.
Would be awesome if it was all 3!!!
Is google really marketing well the Pixel? Everybody that take a look at my phone says: "What a cool phone, it is new, which one is it?"

I've seen a couple of commercials but not many.
I feel like they are actually trying with their advertisements with the pixel. Ive only seen a hand full of Nexus commercials last year but this year I see the pixel everywhere. Even in the theaters. The only thing that pisses me off is the Verizon pixel advertisements. The false advertising about it "only available on Verizon" really rubs me the wrong way. The average consumer will think they cannot get the pixel because they have to be on Verizon which is why I feel like pixel sales will not be as high
I feel like they're tyring to really compete with the iPhone this go around. The only reason I decided to come back to Android was because the quality of this phone and how it is so clean. The camera has also surprised me quite a bit.
Love it and if Google keeps coming up with quality phones like the Pixel XL then Apple has some serious competition; Samsung as well especially with the Note 7 being a complete disaster.
I see a ton of pixel tv ads, both google and verizon ads
I've seen a lot of commercials myself.

The commercials are pretty frequent here as well. I think I see at least one ad per day, sometimes multiple depending on how long I'm watching TV
Sent from my Pixel XL
I feel like almost every commercial break I'm seeing one lol. I'm in Chicago in a larger market so I might be seeing more than some.
In the UK we had some full page ADs in papers, Billboards from EE and some TV adverts too.
Seen a fair few on the tube in London. It's not been heavily advertised from what I've seen but they've done a lot more than they did for the 6P / 5X.
I don't see any benefit with pre-ordering it as I will be waiting weeks till I actually get my purchase and I can pass on the google home mini so I rather just buy it when it actually releases but I don't want to be in the same situation as others had when the Pixel XL released. So if anyone can help me decide if I should preorder or if I should be good when the Pixel 2 XL actually releases. Im hoping Google learns from their mistakes and makes enough Pixel 2 XLs for everyone:fingers-crossed: also I plan on getting 128gb btw if that helps. Thanks!
If it's been like every other year, you can guarantee it. You can set your watch to it. Ordering problems, whatever you can think of.
It's going to be a cluster ****. So, if you want one, take tomorrow off work and be prepared to get a new F5 key or keyboard.

I m optimistic that this year will be better than last. After at least a couple years now where Google has had a hard time keeping stock, they've hopefully learned their lesson. They dumped a bunch of money into LG's screen division this year, hopefully to help up production. Also, the pixel 2 will have a more typical development window (maybe) than the pixel which went from concept to production in an un characteristically short amount of time. Finally, while LG is no Samsung, I think they are bigger than HTC with greater production capabilities. Hopefully these things add up to a better stock of phones at release. Of course, there are no guarantees.
I've pre-ordered every year and have always had a negative inventory experience! Guess we'll find out soon if this launch is different...
Placed my order for Pixel XL 2 during the show.
Shipment 1 Delivery October 19–October 20
Pixel 2 XL (64 GB, Just Black)
$849.00
Quantity: 1
Its already unavailable!
I ordered mine during the event as well, 2 XL 128GB just black. I was going to go with the 64gb version but looked at my phone and saw I would only have about 20gb left if mine was 64gb (I have a 128gb currently). That is one years worth of use on my Pixel XL and I haven't removed anything from my device. I think I would rather have less than 50% used than more than, so wasted the extra $100.
Pixel 2 128XL Black pre-ordered 11:15pst, Ships around Oct 17...
I'm holding off on buying 2 XL until enough user feedback shows Google solved the LTE cellular data thing.
100% chance. They probably have like 5 in stock right now.
A bit off topic.
Did you guys saw that there were 3 phones on the Google family photos.
And in the live demo the appointment Pixel Ultra.
Maybe the leak last week was true or Google saw it and is making a huge joke.

I dont think that 3rd phone was the ultra. It had a case on it so I think they were just showing off the case.
Preordered 2 XL's 128GB's in the Panda color, says Nov 8-9th for date
google screwed up this phone with those bezels so they won't be running out of stock since people are leaning towards the s8+ note 8..
I experienced the same $#!+ show I expected after being a part of the Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel launch. I tried for hours to get a black and white 2 XL to go through the checkout process. As always, you can thank the garbage people of eBay.

Anyone who thinks S8 is better than Pixel XL is ignorant.
I casually ordered a black XL a while after it went live, had 0 issues and it is suppose to be delivered between Oct 24th and 27th.
Really looking forward to finally having something worth upgrading from my Nexus 6.

I just watched a video on on the HTC U11+ and it looks pretty amazing - Larger battery, Wireless charging, Micro SD slot, Oreo with Sense, comparable bezel size. This device is being announced tomorrow.
What do you think?

It's been announced. Doesn't have wireless charging I think but apart from that it's a pretty solid device ?
I thought they said they saw a coil of some sort in the translucent model.
They thought the coil was for wireless charging.
I'm a Google fanboy so my opinion is always going to be biased. I would personally go with the pixel 2. Vanilla Android, great hardware, monthly updates and hopefully a great development community.

Yes, what a bummer, and it is not coming to the US anyway. Seems like it could be a great phone...
I was considering a 2XL return for the 11+ but since I can't get it here that makes my decision easier. I've had 5 HTC phones in the past. Looks like a really solid phone I hope it sells well and they end up bringing it over here.
I'm biased towards software/security update speeds. That's honestly my only bias. Otherwise I was always a fan of the Sense UI and HTC Phone design.
I've had HTC Phones all the way from the HTC Evo on Sprint, all the way until the HTC M8. After the M8 i went to Nexus 6P and haven't looked back due to software upgrade/update speeds
HTC make great hardware but I'll never buy from that company again. I've been burned twice by promised updates then them dropping support completely from a device within a year.
Will the u11+ get much support for custom ROMs ? If so what about AOSP ROMs ?
Thanks
U11 plus. No screen issues

I would say treble would help. In the end it's expensive to keep updating phones hence why companies drop support so quickly. They lose money through all the testing and certifications and potentially lose a sale the next year (why buy a new phone when my current one is up to date). It's something rolled into the cost of Pixels that everyone forgets about. 3 years promised OS and monthly security updates is an expensive ass promise. You're not just paying for hardware.
I'm fortunate enough to be in the UK, but this announcement really threw me. I've got my 64GB Panda on preorder, but I'm seriously tempted to switch. There'd be no blue shift or potential screen issues, twice as much storage (and expandable by another 2TB), 2GB more RAM, IP68 and a camera that was only beaten by the Note and Pixel 2! All for £100 LESS than my preorder!
I'm actually struggling to find a reason NOT to cancel my preorder, except for HTC Sense and regular updates. Don't care about modding really, just want a phone that works!

Couldn't agree more. This device looks really great but I currently have the HTC 10 and here in Europe we only received one (security) update since February. Despite my phone having serious battery issues with android 7.0. Apart from that HTC sells the phone and then doesn't care about its customers. It's a shame because they really make great hardware, but at that price I also expect good software support. I am now waiting for my pixel XL 2 to arrive in mid November :fingers-crossed:
I am thinking of canceling the XL-2 order and get a U11+. The quality control of XL-2 seems a bit worrying.
There seems to be official bootloader unlock for U11+? If so, we can flash AOSP so there won't be difference with Pixel.
But I like the Google GPU and USB-PD on Pixel.

So, I can now use my beautiful Huawei Watch again. Oneplus 6 doesn't have the BT bug, which I also knew Samsung fixed a while back.

Yep Pixel's are just Beta test for OEM's lol
Been using an OG Pixel XL since like a month after they launched and never had a single issue with Bluetooth. My Pebble used to disconnect from my Nexus 6 constantly, never on my Pixel XL and my Ticwatch E works flawlessly too.
Also, what does Samsung have to do with OnePlus..?

I have been happy with every flagship phone I owned since 2009. I also had a Note 7, which was an exceptional phone, aside from the sabotage that ended its life. Pixel XL has been the only crap flagship I owned, which I got to replace the Note 7. OP6 is a breath of fresh air compared to that Google garbage of bug nightmare.
But that's just my take on it, and why would I brag about bugs in the OP6 forum? Bugs belong where they originate, the bug swamp. Welcome to the party, and good-bye.
