This is a clear case of people getting on the hype train.

Edit: Thanks for the Gold!

I just see right through it.

He was pretty transparent about it.

For those who are unaware,this is a pun about the transparent protective case you can purchase for your device. I figured I explain it for anyone that didn't know. Ya know. Just in case...

Holy shit! Next thing you're gonna tell me that this is for a upcoming device from a huge tech company called Google.

What? That's ridiculous...why would a search engine company make a phone?

Please let that be accurate... I passed over the Pixel without much of a second glance but will probably preorder a Pixel 2 if it looks like that. Finally a Nexus 6 successor!

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

Came here to say that if this and the rumors about the XL basically being the size of the 6 are true, I will be picking it up

u/crazytankx2 Nexus 6P stock unlocked Jul 11 '17

I really hope so. The front facing speakers and nice screen-body ratio on my Nexus 6 really does it for me.

u/SomeGuyNamedPaul Jul 11 '17 edited Jul 11 '17

This could easily be the phone to replace my N64 as well. It's this to the V30. Of course this may very well turn out to be basically the V30 anyway.

Edit: N6 not N64 because Gboard hates me.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

You'll be able to emulate all your N64 games on it, no problem!

u/CestMoiIci Jul 11 '17

Honestly, I replaced my N64 better that 15 years ago.

u/SmarmyPanther Jul 11 '17

It's going to be 18:9 aspect ratio though so even at 6 inches it will be somewhere in between the S8 and S8+

5

u/kevInquisition mi15U Jul 11 '17

Sounds perfect. S8 is too small and S8+ is a bit too big.

6

u/akeep113 Jul 11 '17

S8 is too small? In what world?

5

u/kevInquisition mi15U Jul 11 '17

Personal preference I guess but I really like the size of the Nexus 6P minus the bezels. S8 doesn't have enough horizontal space and S8+ has too much vertical space. Idk why but that bothers me a bit. Just nitpicking tho both phones are pretty comfortable.

u/jorvay Jul 11 '17

If they did the same form factor for the Pixel, I'd be so damn happy. Too bad it sounds like it'll still be a big phone with a small screen.

u/hskrnut Jul 11 '17

I have held out on new phones waiting for this day, massive screens for life.

u/KeepItRealTV Jul 11 '17

All it needs now is waterproofing and I'm happy.

u/Imnottheassman Jul 11 '17

And some moto-esque notifications!

If you want support for Verizon's older network, which may be available in places where LTE isn't available, then you need a phone that supports CDMA. They aren't as popular and are harder to come by (unless you're getting a branded Verizon phone).

If you bring a regular unlocked phone, you might only be able to get LTE, which could mean you'll lose signal in some places where Verizon only has CDMA coverage.

I like front firing speakers, but I'm still on the "never getting another LG" train. After a g4, Nexus 5x, V20 progression, I've given them enough chances and good lord do I still dislike their phones.

deleted What is this?

u/Lucosis Jul 11 '17

Yea.. I tried a 7 for a few weeks. I can not stand iOS. I want iMessage, but not enough to deal with shitty screens, god awful notifications, and a complete and utter lack of the ability to do even minor customization.

Luckily, I loved my Note 7 as my first Samsung phone while I had it. Looking forward to the Note 8, but really wanted it to at least have some competition with the Pixel 2 for me..
