The Stranger Things demo was fun.

they dropped the base model of the original pixel by $100 already. Was $649 before the event, now listed at $549. I wonder if that means they'll sell both the Pixel and Pixel 2

Very nice! Not the best discount, and doesn't seem like there's a lot of stock, but it's a good sign they're keeping the first gen around as the mid-range model.

Thanks. I’ve just ordered one. Seems as though they are launching in the uk.

 

[epicrayban]

I want to know this too! Will the Pixel 2 have wireless charging?

I don't think they mentioned it.

Plus, no glass. Not where the battery is.

£800 for pixel 2...very cheap compared to the note 8 and iphone x

 

[Radon87000]

Selfies can have portrait mode too.

 

[epicrayban]

Wait, DXO score of 98 for the Pixel 2? For real??

Motion photos is important to me because...cats...kids. I can’t wait to see reviews on this camera. I wasn’t expecting much due to single lens.

Google guarantees 3 years of software updates with Pixel 2

 

[epicrayban]

Unlimited backups again with Photos. Win.

 

[tbayrgs]

Yeah...can’t pull the tripper on the phone. I just love my Apple Watch too much and I’d only want the black and white cookie color.

When you say 3 years of software updates, does that include both OS and security? I believe the Pixel 1 only offered 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security updates.

Went to pull the trigger and got an error. Refreshed and ship date jumped to the end of the month
