Thanks for the heads up about the black Friday sale on the Pixel. Been wanting to get a phone for my wife for Christmas and I was able to get a deal. They also have an easy trade in program.

Converted to Android after iPhone 4. Doubt I ever go back. Currently using Moto Z2 with various snap on mods. Tried Pixel 2 and One gen 2 and jumped back to Moto each time. Will consider Samsung more seriously next go around as I prefer the security capabilities of Samsung. And, because Lenovo now owns Moto.

I hope Lenovo doesn't mess up the Moto z series. This Moto z3 I bought about a month ago is far & away the best phone I've ever owned.

Where can I try one of the Moto phones? I went to AT&T and didn't see any there. I have literally not ever seen one or held one as my family and friends are opposite of me and think they must always go with iPhone. I love Android a lot, so still looking at all the Android phone options out there. The Moto phones I am pretty dumb about and trying to see if one of those might be a better choice than going back with Samsung (most likely not going to do based on earlier comments in this thread) or spending $1,000 on a Google Pixel 3XL.

I went to Best Buy and they had them where you could see and play with them.

For a sub $500 phone, Moto or one of the Huawei phones? Current phone is a Galaxy S6.

I recommend the Moto Z3 play. Just for a reference point I was out at the Aggie game last weekend with the battery mod on it from Noon until 12:30 or 1 or whenever that thing ended. My battery indicator never got below 80% still with frequent use and a long time with no plug in. Insane battery life with the battery mod.

Wow. My Note 5 ran down from 100% to 0 before the end of the 4th quarter. (Yeah, I know it's very old.) I'm going to have to go by Best Buy soon. I'm assuming that Moto Play phone will work with AT&T?

Yes I am on AT&T as well and it works fine. It is unlocked from Best Buy so it works on every carrier I believe.

I'm looking closely at the Pixel 3XL along with the OnePlus and Moto phones and will be switching over from a Note 5, so yours was a very similar situation. Can you comment on the function of the Pixel 2 in comparison to your old Note? I'm assuming it's a lot better based on comments regarding the Samsung Android overlay I've seen in this forum and on other sites.

I got the Pixel XL2 and the only glitch I recall has been a glitch in all new phones for me- the transfer of data, contacts, etc was not seamless but wasn't terrible either.

I'm not a power user but I like the power to be there. Battery life good except when running Waze, have to keep it plugged in.
