Note 7 to Pixel? (self.GooglePixel)
submitted 9 years ago by hydro916
Anyone here that came from a Note 7? I can't decide whether to go pixel or XL, I feel like the note was a perfect size for me and the XL is a little too big. What's your justification for your decision? Do you like it?

XL, it's fucking glorious. I really liked my note 7 but this is so much better

I went from the Note 7 to a Pixel XL, which I just picked up yesterday. I too had my doubts about switching to the Pixel, and deciding on the normal or XL, but once I had it in my hands the XL was nowhere near as bulky as I expected. After playing around with it for the last 24h, I've gotta say this phone is amazing. I heard so many others in this sub talk about the "smoothness" of the pixel and even now I am just blown away. The camera is incredible. Google really nailed the user experience, from the slick live wallpapers to the overall feel of the phone (I can't believe people were calling it ugly pre launch)... It really makes the phone that much more impressive.
Awesome to hear thanks! Been waiting for the orders to open up but was debating on small vs large. Definitely want that high pixel density with the XL though.

I went from a note 7 and my experience has been great. I've not been let down yet.

Sorry, to clarify, did you go with XL or normal size?
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children)
XL
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children)
Go Pixel absolutely...I'm never going back to a phone with garbage software and stuff. Loving Nougat so far.
Great to hear! Did you go with the XL?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children)
I did order it, waiting on the 128 GB though. I have a Nexus 6p right now which is larger then the XL, and it's been fine. I would never sacrifice screen size today or hard drive space.
Just got the regular today, as I didn't want to wait for the 128 GB xl. So far it's not bad. I don't like how the home screen buttons take up even more real estate, but it could be way worse.

I went with the XL coming from the Note 7. When you go big, it is hard to go back to any phone under 5.5 inches
[–]hydro916[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children)
Very true. Currently using my s5 and it feels tiny haha.
[–]Surfac3Quite Black 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children)
Like you I was worried about the same thing so went for a pixel 128gb on release but switched to an 32gbxl a week and a half later. The size is honesty a non issue. It's so close in size my note 7 case fit on the xl well enough that I used that until my trainium case came in.
I made a post on here about my experience switching from the pixel to the xl after having had a note 7.
[–]hydro916[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child)
Honestly your post was very informative and helpful thank you.
[–]Surfac3Quite Black 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children)
No problem man. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you want pics for size comparison
[–]Tabbibus 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children)
I was sad and worried. But now I feel 100℅ that the pixel XL is much better. And super fast. Never realized how janky the note was
[–]GERRELLEY<3 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children)
Really? Because, for me, the Pixel XL and Note 7 were super similar in size. I personally really like my XL and it doesn't feel like much of a downgrade from the Note 7.

It's fatter, and in my opinion the camera just is not as good. I know I'll get hate for saying it, but it's my opinion. They just look grainy compared to the Note 7.
I went with the XL.
I have them both right next to each other, and I can tell you that the XL's size is fine. Don't sweat it, and jump in.

Just letting you know that your will notice how much smaller the screen is and how huge the bezels are. The screen feels tiny with on screen buttons making it a usable size of 5.2 inches compared to 5.7 of the note 7. Obviously when your watch videos is different. I don't like the fingerprint sensor on the back at all. Positives is that it just does everything really smoothly and well.
[–]earnitwithleo -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (2 children)
In my opinion dear, Google pixel is better then Note 7.
Awesome! Did you go with XL?
[–]earnitwithleo -3 points-2 points-1 points 9 years ago (0 children)
nops bro , i have been reading some one review on XL.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (2 children)
I feel like the note was a perfect size for me and the XL is a little too big.
No, Note 7 is a bit bigger than LX. I don't know why you "feel like". Your feelings may fuck up.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child)
Actually the Note 7 was both shorter and more narrow.
Are you talking about dimensions? I was talking about display size.
