Google has been acting like Apple since Pixel 1, A greedy company that puts the minimum specs in their flagships and selling them at the highest possible price.
Pixel 4 and 4 XL are no exception, I can tell that based on the shameful looking and shameful leaked specs. Google as a smartphone maker does not listen to their loyal audience, unlike others.
Sorry but I pre-ordered immediately after they said visit the Google Store. [emoji1]

I haven't used AOD or a light notification in a very long time. I just checked my phone way too often. LOL
I'm actually looking forward to a properly working AOD. Would prefer an LED, but considering OP doesn't offer either, it's a step up either way, for me. Can't get rid of this POS OP6T fast enough. Is the hardware in the 6T in some ways better than the P4, sure. But the software is atrocious. That's where I feel google will shine.
As I agree that Google is becoming Apple like, they still put out a great phone at a much lower price than Apple.
Corporations are greed personified. Anyone who thinks otherwise should immediately sell their house and send the money to me. I promise I'll use it to fight corporate greed. A small percentage may go towards wine, questionable women, and gambling. The rest I'll waste but don't worry about that, just send the money and I promise I'll use it every bit as responsibly as the CEO of corporation X would spend it.
I invite you to stop telling me what to think
The reality is that people have unknowingly boycotted all of the Pixel devices until the Pixel 3a series (which has the highest sales numbers of any of the Pixel phones). It still didn't stop Google from pushing out new phones each year.
If anything, the Pixel 4 series will be the most successful flagship series phone Google has ever produced. That's because it is the first phone to be available on every major US carrier.
The OnePlus series was a natural boycott...

haha. I do hope they do actually release it on the 3rd... but optimism is so non-British. Cynicism sits much better ^.^ I think the standard build phones would ship pretty fast anyway so a release on the 3rd for them makes sense; whereas customised moto maker ones will probably take more time anyway.
Here's to hoping a company makes a decent screen protector for this phone too in time for its release! oh wait... hope... bad...

Neither on the Nexus 6... Those round screens sure look nice but they are more fragile and makes it impossible to put a tempered glass.
Anybody notice that after the launch there has been zero follow-up by Motorola to ride the positive buzz to a launch? This makes zero business sense unless we consider what also happened just after the launch.
I am wondering if Lenovo is the issue. They zapped 500 from Moto's mobile division in Chicago and also let go of key software dev teams. It could be possible that given the staff reductions and distraction and disruptions this is not a good time frame to launch and would explain the pull of the announcement. Apparently feedback from Chicago does not suggest a facility "all systems go" for a launch and employees reporting they are still in shock and key positions were also laid off that are not filled to cover a launch.
I would not hold breath for a Sept 3 launch and also concerned for product support since apparently will be given to Lenovo who have no clue about Motorola (if you have dealt with Lenovo, they do not appear to have a good grasp of their own products as far as support). Shame too, since was looking forward (big time) to a 64GB version. Hoping I am reading too much into the events.
Whatever the case, you do not launch with such positive buzz and go dark like this. That defeats a key purpose of a launch in the first place.
It is mad to think that Motorola have done/said nothing after the announcement of the Style however the only good thing is the fact the shipments and general day to day sales i.e the Moto G 2015 seem to be going as planned without a hitch.
Not long to go before we see what happens lol. But honestly I cant see Lenovo making a mess of this, they are a well respected company also but tbh sometimes companies do make some proper stupid decisions ... Note 5 Not selling in Europe pops to mind hahah.
Sent from S3 via Tapatalk App.
Hoping that is correct The tweet being pulled and the complete darkness after a big launch is not a normal bridge to carry though to product release. a lot of momentum is lost. Whatever the case, Lenovo's timing appears bad.
Motorola Germany just answered a twitter question regarding the release. They expect a release in Germany around the middle of September. So maybe they can hold the 3rd September release in the US
All I know is that unless your quick your going to be left dissapointed as you're going to have a longer wait. In the UK the Moto X Play is already out of stock it went on sale only a few days ago.
I have a feeling the same will happen with the Style.
Wonder if this is common with Motorola and they run out of stock at launch. I know this was the case with the Nexus 6 but thats always the case with any Nexus LOL.
Motorola is very weak in regards to supply chain management and tend to be their own worst enemy. Was hoping Lenovo would help, but appears not to be the case. It is very ironic for a company so weak in supply chain to add the well-intended customer option of case customization.
I posted that the battery COULD be the Achilles Heal for the Moto X Pure, but Motorola supply chain for the critical launch release phase could be as well.

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.
Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.

If you paid with a CC you might check with them. Often times they'll allow you to price match within a certain amount of time.

Sorry man. But where have you been? Every BF deal is half off like.. forever? October release orders are for those that are rich and don't give a crap. They get it a month before everyone else for bragging rights but the rest of us paid half what they did. And we only waited a month. Live and learn and as I've said before.. never ever buy a device other than on BF. 'Nuff said.
I bought mine on launch day and returned it within the 14 day period and bought a one plus 6t. I just ordered the Pixel 3 xl, at 700 bucks its a no brainer compared to the OP6T for 570. Next year I will wait for black friday again.
The original Pixel XL was the last phone I got right when it came out. Project Fi has $200 off up front, $200 credit for bill payment. Tack on $285 for my Pixel 2 XL. Now you know for next time.

I bought my phone with the Costco Citycard. They have a price protection program where you can call in and get the difference in price refunded for any item bought within the last 60 days. I called in and got my claim set up. I sent them a copy of the itemized receipt from Google store showing full price and then one of the advertised Google store price. Now waiting and according to email they sent within 2 weeks I will get the difference back on my credit card.

I'm with you, but for a different reason. I'm on my fourth 3 XL. I RMA'd my 2 XL twice. I think this one finally might be ok but 5 warranty replacements over 2 devices that cost a grand each is ridiculous. I might would have just went and got an iPhone Xs Max if I hadn't been past my return window.

I normally wait for the second batch and never pre-order in the past. but my Nexus 6p was literally on his last leg so I had to move forward with the pixel 3XL it's a great phone and all but now looking back I wish I would have picked up a cheap phone just to get by for a month. this pixel 3XL is also going to be the first phone that I'm not going to root, it's totally stock, even the bootloader is still locked. it's also the first phone that I'll be using a case and screen protector with.

Screen issues on the 2 XL and speaker issues on the 3 XL. Two of the returns before Google confirmed they were working on a fix for the distortion. This last return, I had what I thought was screen burn in in the status bar of the notch, which I now think it's intentional but I sent pictures to Google support and they agreed. The bottom speaker on it also seemed much more distorted than the previous two. The 4th device, which I have now, seems much better in the speaker even though there is still some white noise. I'm hoping Google does actually fix this.

Do you feel like your phone has any problems? If you don't then you're better off not trying to look for problems and go into a RMA nightmare and get a phone from the Google store that you can't OEM unlock and go into a continuous loop of frustration and wasted time and money.

I returned my xl for a replacement which got to me in 2 days.
Two days after I've received the second pixel I noticed black Friday deals come in. I ordered yesterday another pixel (the third one) and my second pixel (replacement) I'll be returning once google ships me the retun box. Should be any day.

What you guys think the price will fall too? $699?
I would say $200 off each model like last year
I jumped on the Verizon deal and saved 450 with a pixel XL.
Ordered mine from Amazon just got an updated email saying delivery a week from Monday (11/11). If the price drops within the 30 day return period, Amazon will make it right. So after $100.00 gift certificate and hopefully another $200.00 Black Friday the phone will be worth what it should cost. ($699.00)

I don't think Google will give you anything off.. well maybe a hundred or two but that's it. The carriers on the other hand will give you half off, no trade in required although perhaps another line added. But then you run the risk of bootloader locked, carrier locked for 60 days or more and being locked into 2 years of service because you only get a monthly credit over two years. But there should be some BF leaks in the coming weeks so you never know. At this point you might as well wait and see since it's only a few weeks.

I don't think they'll make the same mistake as last year. And piss people off who pre-ordered again. Plus the pixel 4 is widely available. All carriers and big box stores are selling it. Pixel 3 last year was a very poor seller. So in that case it was a supply-and-demand thing.. my wife got a pre-order verizon 4xl for 450 dollars off. I jumped on a unlocked one at Best buy with $100 gift card. Both those deals lasted a week. And I don't think Black Friday will match them.
Hopefully I'm wrong either way I don't regret my decision to pre-order this time.
They'll probably have the exact same deals as last year at this time. Here in PR the phone has been out since launch and AT&T, Best Buy, and most T-Mobile stores haven't even put out a demo unit. Only one T-Mobile store had it out for display and the sales clerks told me that it's practically invisible. People look at it and ask where the Note or iPhones are. Go to the Google Store and the smaller phones (except maybe the not so orange, although I'm not sure) never sold out.
Google knows it has to be aggressive, the s11 will be out in a few months and the Pixel will already be yesterday's news, unfortunately.
I remember when the Nexus phones had the fastest chip and processor because they waited until the end of the year to get the latest and greatest and everyone else played catch up. Now it's the other way around. It's a damn shame.
All that said, I'm definitely getting one as soon as I see the deals out there for Black Friday.

I don't think they'll make the same mistake as last year. And piss people off who pre-ordered again. Plus the pixel 4 is widely available. All carriers and big box stores are selling it. Pixel 3 last year was a very poor seller. So in that case it was a supply-and-demand thing.. my wife got a pre-order verizon 4xl for 450 dollars off. I jumped on a unlocked one at Best buy with $100 gift card. Both those deals lasted a week. And I don't think Black Friday will match them.
Hopefully I'm wrong either way I don't regret my decision to pre-order this time.

They made the same "mistake" with the Pixel 2, though the sale was only $100 of if I recall. And more sellers competing and more availability means better sales. THAT is supply and demand.
Returned mine. When the deals show up maybe I'll buy again. Unfortunately for me it was too much for not enough that matters to me (motion sense is a gimmick I'll never use). Obviously everyone's situation is different.

I bought it too in the hype, but after using it a few days I felt I got ripped off and way over paid!
If a really good deal comes along I'll buy it again or might just get the Pixel 3 XL instead.

Pixel 3xl is still a great phone. I still have it. Although for the price and features I bought the 7T after returning the 4xl. It's close enough to the pixel for me and I saved a considerable amount of money.
In the end Google wants to charge premium prices, but always cut corners somewhere happens every year. 4xl will be a great phone I'm sure just probably the first pixel I'll not own.

I was looking at that 7t, but not having wireless charging is a deal breaker for me. It’s like having a flip phone all over again. lol
Every phone I’ve had since 2012 has had wireless charging, starting with the Verizon exclusive, Droid DNA. Then LG’s G2, G4, Samsung’s S8, S9, Note 9, and now current LG v30.

It's why I bought my Pixel on my credit card to use price protection. Every single year it has not failed me. Until the banks decide to stop doing price protection (shakes fist at Citi).
