@@metroboomin3990 I just picked one up to replace my Galaxy S4, since it was getting too slow and I did crack the screen. It was only £115 from CeX (used electronics store here in the UK) and that's with a 2 year warranty. Can't fault it for that price, I'd happily pay twice as much for a phone this good.
yeah, that's the idea here, brother. To make all Android products look bad, exactly when the excitement for the next Pixel is getting momentum. Look for any video with a bad title for an Apple product. Any. Do you know that the Apple Vision Pro is getting cracked? That the lenses are made of plastic? Do you know is impossible to swap parts between two identicals iPhones?
Man of Hokuto I remember hearing the vibration motor is not good on OP6 also. But if charging is as great as it is on my OP3, that's definitely another reason to pick OnePlus over the P2XL!
@@ObliviAce writing to you from a pixel 3a, it's really great so I'm not thinking about switching but if I would buy a phone now it'll be the 4a, it's cheaper, better camera, good screen, headphone jack, no notch and the screen covers almost all of the phone, infinity storage and just awesome in general
Comments well why have a notch when the phone has such a big chin anyway. I don't mind notches, I really don't. OnePlus had a good solution to it anyway I think with software. There isn't a point to having a notch when you have a huge as chin.
OnePlus 6 is indeed such a good phone. I have been using it alongside the S9+ and the Vivo NEX for the comparisons and clearly, the S9+ came out as the third when it comes to the gaming (the Exynos one, which is sold in India) while OnePlus 6 plays any game flawlessly. The fact that OnePlus has been able to do so well with the software says a lot about the good experience people keep sharing about, and this is probably the least price flagship out there. Nothing funky, but everything that works.
Džiugas Drakšas that's with most. Won't get into the details with every device but I'm okay with that half-a-second wait before video recording than waiting for almost every app switch I do on the Galaxy S9+.
Robin Sinha true mate. But after watching this, I think your money is better off with OnePlus 6. Been using 3T since 14 months and am not disappointed.
aiy im from malaysia too fam . i used to use the asus zenfone line up . was a big zenfone fanboi . but after transitioning to oneplus phones , its a definite step up !
I kid you not, I've noticed mine lagging so much especially when launching the camera from the double click to take pictures is so bad. And the only other phone I for think about switching to would be OnePlus also. This is crazy relevant information and also the fact that I'm not alone thinking it was just me
This is kind of a cheat, but a little bit after I got my Pixel 2 XL, I went into developer options in the settings app and changed all of the animation scales to 0.5x. Always feels super snappy. But ignoring that cheat, I've never felt my phone lag once.
@@ankurnandkeolyar8141 Well, it's not that we necessarily need to, but it's just kinda fun to try out. After I got used to it tho, it felt weird to go back, so I've just kept it that way.
@@shitakemyshrooms1928 2017 phone is barely 24months old..We shouldn't be stupid to fall for these tech companies pulling a fast one on us year in year out if they consistently churn out new phones every now then with 1k plus price fee and expect us to buy them...A 2017 flagship like S8 will be good for me till 2022...I don't care if they stop releasing updates on it after 2020...I will stick with it for 5years...yes heaven will not fall..I had my note 4 for 5 years..
I got the 5T like a month before the 6 came out, but I wasn't sold on the notch anyway. But my 5T is still blazing fast omfg, loads anything without fail. I've never owned a better phone and dash charging means that I don't even charge my phone overnight so the battery is still keeping strong like 4 months later. If they keep them cheaper than the competition, I will NEVER leave OnePlus again!!!
That's Pixel's most influential (unpaid) brand ambassador dumping his own Pixel.. For a *third-party* Android.. AND *keeping* his iPhone. That's the *tech* equivalent of a Game of Thrones-style plot twist.
right, I'm surprised that everyone is surprised about it, also newer phones are more likely to be better than the old ones especially if we're talking about flagship ones and yes, you'll eventually get so used to something that you wanna try something else
Chandler Russell but most people get new phones after 2 years and more and more people are sticking with old phones because they’re getting too good. Your phone can’t significantly degrade in quality after what... 9 months?
My pixel has tremendously slowed down too. I find it very annoying and was considering switching phones. Mine has had overheating problems too. I got mine exchanged with Google 3 times and each one had the same issues later down in the year.
Terren Rule I thought i was the only one. It probably shuts down at least twice a day. Constantly sh*tting itself while I browse Reddit. Crap phone and company
Terren Rule YES. I have the pixel 1 and it has a heating problem while lagging and crashing all the time. The pixel is only good randomly for the first couple weeks and the rest is just a terrible experience (got it when it first came out). Using the phone while downloading an app in the background causes the system ui to crash which turns my screen completely black. I know the phone itself is still on since the screen is still bright but the problem is I can't even turn it off. I have to spam the off button repeatedly and the phone just randomly shuts down and I have to restart both the phone and the app download again. All of the problems you are talking about are the same for every pixel out there. Google owns Android and if they can't even polish their own OS then I'm gonna switch back to IOS when I get the chance because this should be an easy fix since it's from a first party source. I've used both platforms on a daily basis and I've got to say, IOS is the MOST complete and smooth experience. It may not have the best specs on paper but it does make up for it in terms of reliability. Huge disappointment for Android cuz I expected something similar if not better than iOS.
my dad had a pixel 2 near launch, and used it up until the release of the pixel 6, and every time i used it it still felt super snappy even though he had a ton of heavier apps running on it. the only thing that made him replace it was the battery getting worn out.
maysgar To be honest for a lot of people aesthetic appeal matters. It was what kept apple ahead in the smartphone race for years originally. We can roll our eyes at comments like this, but I know personally for me it's akin to me liking the alienware laptops for the looks even though I know I can build or buy a better computer for less money. We make these decisions every day.
Just bought the pixel 2 XL yesterday for £350, upgraded from a 1st Gen pixel XL, I'm loving it so far, the camera, as he says, is amazing! Only once the 4th Pixel comes out, I will probably move onto the the pixel 3, honestly guys, this device is not slow, you probably won't realise it even if it slows down, save your money, wait for the newest phone to come, then buy the previous at a discounted price, this style of consumerism has served me quite well
@@naveenl86 I haggled a lady down from £400 on Facebook Marketplace, checked everything out and been using it ever since, what a lucky deal, it's amazing. Check out your local sales sites and anybody looking for a quick sale will accept a nicer price than advertised, also I heard there's some deals on the high Street this week on the Pixel 2 phones, good luck if you're looking for one
Im in the same boat, I've been watching pixel 2 xl to drop price since I've heard that Pixel 3 is coming this 9th October. Hopefully I can find one for around the same price as OP had.
I have also almost always gone with the same strategy. Right now I'm using the LG G6 which I bought a few months ago, after the G7 had been out for a couple months. Saves money, and performance is 90% of the time more than good enough for normal users like me.
I know that I am over a year late in actually finishing this video, but what really changed the experience with the OP6 for me was downloading the Google pixel camera. It is so hard to put that phone down and it goes with me everywhere as my android of preference. People are always floored at how good the camera performs and how the pictures all look! My iPhone of preference is the red 8 Plus.
I have the standard pixel 2 and I haven't noticed a drop in performance whatsoever actually with Android P my phone has gotten faster. but the big difference is the XL is made by LG and the standard pixel is made by HTC so
lg seems to have a problem promising smooth performance with their devices, but hopefully we can see better from them if the g7 one ever supports android p.
Yeah my P2XL is still as fast as when I got it. It might even be faster because I remember there used to be a 2 second black screen after using the fingerprint unlock and I don't have that delay anymore. Overall I'm still really happy with this thing I love it. Btw I'm running Pie.
I've owned a OnePlus 3 since September 2016, and I can say that it still works like the first day. Fast, snappy, smooth, it was simply the best tech purchase of my entire life!
I used to own the oneplus one back in the day and only after 2,5 years did I start to notice slight lag and a minor drop in battery life. Since then I moved to the Samsung galaxy s8 which I now have for about a year and I have already noticed a big drop in battery performance and speed. Although I love the screen I consider this one of my worst buys ever... Now seeing if I'll buy the op6 or wait till the op6t
@Eros Pingani: OnePlus 3 still working great for me as well... And I am really using it a lot having installed 30GB worth of Apps (278 Apps). This Thing still runs perfectly smooth and due to an Otterbox and Screenprotector from Rhinoshield it's still perfectly intact and looks as it was new. Using it as my daily driver for over 2 years now.
@Maulen. IDC Florez How is that funny? Is having a cellphone supposed to blind me of the fact that there are more important problems in the world than the number of pixels on my screen? Regardless, the phone differences in this tech video shouldn't even register on the average consumer's radar.
Carlos Melgar Fuck the 2J, overrated and overhyped piece of shit that got popular from a garbage movie. In stock form it made no power and even with a turbo it can't even come close to an LS. Junkyard LS, gap the rings, ebay turbos, 1000hp all day every day easy. You have to dump a fuck ton of money into a 2JZ to get it to make any power, the stock rotating assembly isn't even that strong. Not to mention that regardless of what power it makes, a straight 6 will always sound like trash. Anything that's not an American V8 sounds like a pathetic hairdryer.
Jarod Kelly Dang you hate it that much lol? I like the sound of a straight 6 imo, V8s sound good too but here in the US our domestics are a dime a dozen. Sometimes people want something different, it's not always about performance per dollar.
Reyyan Agboatwalla I have the op6 and trust me after a week you literally don't notice it at all. Like whether it's there or not is basically negligible which u can't understand until you've used it
I don't think they can get their shit together coz they have diarrhea.. Every six months they have new flagship.. On the other hand they have constipation with update!
I'd really like to see some actual tests done to see the difference between phones from major brands, roughly a year or two after the phones were purchased. As someone who keeps phones for a long time, that would be extremely useful.
TDCatTech I would have preferred he hadn't included that because it makes it seem like nothing. The truth is unless the phone is really f'd, you can't make it lag on command. It's just that we rely on these things a lot and if you use it enough time throughout the day, not necessarily in a resource intensive way, you start to see instances of VERY noticeable lag. It's weird to see in a phone less than a year old straight from Google and doesn't bode well for the phone's longevity, which is the reason many of us bought it.
I would call it a figure of speech. Like "it's devastating you take a figure of speech that seriously". Once one said that the composer John Williams is a God. And someone else responded "there's only one true God". That's how silly you sound really.
Weird, I have a Pixel 2XL since release....My phone is very fast still. A friend if mine has a 2XL and I have noticed slow performance on his. I think this is a hardware defect honestly. Google hasn't had the best QC.
Same here. Maybe it's a certain app people are installing??? Idk what's up with that, it's the first I've ever heard of it. Haven't seen any other tech press about it.
Had my Pixel 2XL since around the time they came out. Its not as fast or snappy as i remember it being. But it's not slow, even now that we're about 6 years later its still going strong and seems like its got a decent amount of steam left. Probably will look into getting a new phone within the next year or so as long as it doesn't die on me. But until then, this has been the best phone I've ever owned.
I've had my Pixel 2 XL for almost a year now and I've had no issues with frame drops or lag (except for Snapchat... *shudders*), and I'm very observant of those kinds of things so I'm surprised you're having issues.
Marqués keep the Pixel. Activate the developer option then go to the advanced section scroll down to Windows, transition, and animator scale and turn those off. The phone becomes a monster and it'll be so fast it'll blow your mind. But you knew this didn't you? Peace!
I own an original Pixel (2016), and honestly I haven't seen any slowdown yet, which has really surprised me. It's just as snappy now as it was out of the box, currently running 8.1 Oreo. I don't know if I'm the minority, but my experience has been great!
Debojit Bhowmick yeah my buddy's pixel XL the original one is also snappy af and idk why people want 8gb ram on their phones like does android really require that? I own a iphone se with 2 gb ram and it runs smooth af only battery is the issue and yes lower resolution screen but thats it
Mine started doing that a couple of months ago. Sometimes I can run it to 5%, other times it will die at 30%. I use accubattery to monitor my charging and battery health and ... well it shows that my battery is still at 86 percent health. Getting about 1 hour 45 minutes of screen on time while the phone lags to hell opening any app.
I had a pixel 2xl and I recently upgraded to the 3XL. Despite the pixels shortcomings I still find myself drawn to the pixel line up for the nice design, amazing camera, and stock Android even though I go and paint over that with Nova launcher.
Many times what you are noticing with a phone that is slowing down it can have alot to do with the swap partition used by android. Most smartphone users I know have never even heard of the swap partition. Formatting the swap partition from time to time helps keep the phone snappy. Samsung makes this easy, there is a swap format function in recovery mode. Formatting swap will NOT erase data on the phone, it is not a factory reset. This function can be found in different places ( or not at all ) on different phones. Never assume that the phone hardware is what is causing the phone to be slow. 8 times out of 10 it's something in software or problem in the swap partition that can be fixed easily.
With 1+ you never know for sure since they are always a bit silent before release, but there was a statement that they wouldn't be a T version if the industry hasn't something new to offer, which frankly there isn't unless something revolutionary comes out in September or something.
i haven't had any lag or battery issues. im rooted on anrdoid p but i have noticed that sometimes my button presses don't go through. i can see the background from the button going but it does not do anything. have to press it again.
Was just watching your videos from 3-4 years ago.. damn is sooo nostalgic man. It’s amazing to literally watch you grow and get so good at this over the years ❤️
Yeah, my pixel is a bit slower than when I first bought it, but it's still one of my favorite phones. I appreciate the luxury of a phone like this but I reaaaally miss the Nexus line and what they were, and OnePlus is the closest thing to that nowadays. It's not my pixel's speed that bothers me it's that my speakers have degraded and are much quieter than when I first used them.
Evan Jones Nexus phones were basically AOSP maintained directly by Google. Pixel phones are AOSP + few features on top to give Google reason to call them Pixel phones and not Nexus.
Mijo Bažoka right. I liked how barebones they felt, nowadays all these features they throw at us in the hardware don't excite me because to me Google is always going to be a software company. The Nexus line felt like a cool-dude kind of shrug, like "we don't want to make the dopest hardware, but I guess we'll make this so you can use what we really care about without any bottlenecks". But what's weird is their software nowadays is so much more advanced than what they pushed back in the day, even for the time, but they put emphasis on their hardware and design so much and sell it so hard that it overshadows the software and that focus feels like a value reversal. Overall I think the focus of the company is good, the software on the pixel camera is insane and all the machine learning they're tossing into Android is cool, but the marketing department is trying so hard to swing at Apple that their missing their target entirely. It's like the math geek who sucks at but is trying to play baseball. That's another thing, Apple does well what people already want out of their phones, but Google does well what people don't know about and they keep leaning on playing Apple's game.
One thing that irks me the most is the new "Pixel" navigation bar on the Pixel phones that seems to be somehow patented; I would like to see it in AOSP so others can use it freely, but for some reason they don't - most likely is that daddy Google won't allow anyone to copy the trademark Pixel look. Like, it's just a navbar, why?
I think his point was that you shouldn't have to adjust the settings to make animations look good, it should look good on whatever default settings. MKBHD was saying its dropping frames on animations and thats the problem. Its not just customization preference, its poor performance.
Oversized Goats oneplus 6, no question. The display is insane. I love the size. The power of it makes my 5s feel like an abacus. The os took me about a week to be efficient enough on, and after about a month I am just about as fast as I was on the 5s (typing and such). The oneplus is a great bargain too. I’m honestly done with apple I think.

Comments well why have a notch when the phone has such a big chin anyway. I don't mind notches, I really don't. OnePlus had a good solution to it anyway I think with software. There isn't a point to having a notch when you have a huge as chin.
Faisal Salam the iPhone x has no chin but do to that it has to be fatter
Pixel 3 supposed leaks has an atrocious notch. No telling if that is accurate.
All notches are disgusting
OnePlus 6 is indeed such a good phone. I have been using it alongside the S9+ and the Vivo NEX for the comparisons and clearly, the S9+ came out as the third when it comes to the gaming (the Exynos one, which is sold in India) while OnePlus 6 plays any game flawlessly. The fact that OnePlus has been able to do so well with the software says a lot about the good experience people keep sharing about, and this is probably the least price flagship out there. Nothing funky, but everything that works.
So how did the vivo hold up ? as i am looking to buy one, any advice you can give ?
Abdulrahman Hebshi frankly, not too bad and the fact that it has been better than S9+ is kind of a big deal. The NEX is actually a very good phone.
thank you for the quick reply, cheers
but the oneplus 6 kinda lags when you start filming? I mean there is like 0,5 sec delay after you press record button.
Džiugas Drakšas that's with most. Won't get into the details with every device but I'm okay with that half-a-second wait before video recording than waiting for almost every app switch I do on the Galaxy S9+.
When your phone slows down:
You ignore it.

Why don't I use the Pixel?
because I don't have the money
Robin Sinha same, $400+ used every where I see
The price is ridiculous. It is not justified at all. If money is an issue there are plenty better option s out there... Like op6
and because you‘re smart enough to not buy a device that sucks in your data
lol every device does that dont play yourself... android is still android and tech companies are still tech companies.
Robin Sinha true mate. But after watching this, I think your money is better off with OnePlus 6. Been using 3T since 14 months and am not disappointed.
You guys have problems switching daily phones, and yet here I am still using my 3 years old Zenfone 2. Still no signs of dying.
Eric John you from malaysia fam?
aiy im from malaysia too fam . i used to use the asus zenfone line up . was a big zenfone fanboi . but after transitioning to oneplus phones , its a definite step up !
Zenfone 2 best phone i ever had !!!
Oppo a37 with Android 5.1.1 👍
johorean here. 9k cases today is just sick
I kid you not, I've noticed mine lagging so much especially when launching the camera from the double click to take pictures is so bad. And the only other phone I for think about switching to would be OnePlus also. This is crazy relevant information and also the fact that I'm not alone thinking it was just me
CooLoserTech I had the same issue but I just kinda messed around in setting and tried to make it faster and it worked.
Mines also lagging.
The New Pixel 3 XL Notch Looks Horrible 🙃.
Anurag all notches look horrible
Pixel 3 better be legit... holding out with my galaxy s6 right now
I don't mind notches, but I wouldn't mind not having it either.
But pixel 3 doesn't have notch! I love pixel 3 better.
The chin ain't helping either. The whole thing looks hideous.
This is kind of a cheat, but a little bit after I got my Pixel 2 XL, I went into developer options in the settings app and changed all of the animation scales to 0.5x. Always feels super snappy. But ignoring that cheat, I've never felt my phone lag once.
Same same
Only the early Android users know about this.. I'm surprised 9 iterations down, we still need to do this....
@@ankurnandkeolyar8141 Well, it's not that we necessarily need to, but it's just kinda fun to try out. After I got used to it tho, it felt weird to go back, so I've just kept it that way.
So the animations take twice as long? Isn't that slower?
@@gcg8187 No, I guess I said that kind of wrong. The animations take 0.5x the length of time. So double speed.
I know I'm late, but, Snapdragon 835 and 6gb ram (Note 8), still fast in 2019

I think 2017 flagships are still fast.Even my S8 is still performing well
@@shitakemyshrooms1928 2017 phone is barely 24months old..We shouldn't be stupid to fall for these tech companies pulling a fast one on us year in year out if they consistently churn out new phones every now then with 1k plus price fee and expect us to buy them...A 2017 flagship like S8 will be good for me till 2022...I don't care if they stop releasing updates on it after 2020...I will stick with it for 5years...yes heaven will not fall..I had my note 4 for 5 years..

Felipe Magana same here
Felipe Magana same! Mine is red
I got the 5T like a month before the 6 came out, but I wasn't sold on the notch anyway. But my 5T is still blazing fast omfg, loads anything without fail. I've never owned a better phone and dash charging means that I don't even charge my phone overnight so the battery is still keeping strong like 4 months later. If they keep them cheaper than the competition, I will NEVER leave OnePlus again!!!
The 64g is the $530 one
Ok
So basically OnePlus just needs a better camera to crush the Pixel line. Nice....
Thing is it's already possible to install the Pixels camera to the OnePLus though not officially.
It also needs better design, software, and to be made by a company which is not as shady as OnePlus
This is where I think Google should have bought Oppo instead of HTC. They would have crushed the competition.
Crush an almost a year old pixel
And stereo speakers
Pixel 2 XL owner here, and I have DEFINITELY noticed the lag lately
Ryon McAuley Yeah I've tried that, but I still have the same result
Balal Shah Well that's good! Looking forward to Android P then!
Using pixel 2 since Nov 2017. Have alot of apps too. Mine never slowed down.
Khan S won’t slow down if you only browse facebook and youtube all day
@@victuringan1429 He already said he has a lot of apps...
Hello can you tell me what 2 XL model you have?
@@bluefountain007 I don't have XL . I have the regular pixel 2. (2017)
Update.still using same phone and number of apps almost doubled since my last comment. working great so far.
That's Pixel's most influential (unpaid) brand ambassador dumping his own Pixel.. For a *third-party* Android.. AND *keeping* his iPhone.
That's the *tech* equivalent of a Game of Thrones-style plot twist.
That's the exact same thought process I had before I clicked on this video.
It's part of the plan because when the Pixel 3 XL comes he'll be hugging the shit out of it just like when he did with the previous ones
To be fair he always keeps an iPhone he likes some stuff on iOS better
right, I'm surprised that everyone is surprised about it, also newer phones are more likely to be better than the old ones especially if we're talking about flagship ones and yes, you'll eventually get so used to something that you wanna try something else
Chandler Russell but most people get new phones after 2 years and more and more people are sticking with old phones because they’re getting too good. Your phone can’t significantly degrade in quality after what... 9 months?
My pixel has tremendously slowed down too. I find it very annoying and was considering switching phones. Mine has had overheating problems too. I got mine exchanged with Google 3 times and each one had the same issues later down in the year.
Terren Rule I thought i was the only one. It probably shuts down at least twice a day. Constantly sh*tting itself while I browse Reddit. Crap phone and company
Terren Rule YES. I have the pixel 1 and it has a heating problem while lagging and crashing all the time. The pixel is only good randomly for the first couple weeks and the rest is just a terrible experience (got it when it first came out). Using the phone while downloading an app in the background causes the system ui to crash which turns my screen completely black. I know the phone itself is still on since the screen is still bright but the problem is I can't even turn it off. I have to spam the off button repeatedly and the phone just randomly shuts down and I have to restart both the phone and the app download again. All of the problems you are talking about are the same for every pixel out there. Google owns Android and if they can't even polish their own OS then I'm gonna switch back to IOS when I get the chance because this should be an easy fix since it's from a first party source. I've used both platforms on a daily basis and I've got to say, IOS is the MOST complete and smooth experience. It may not have the best specs on paper but it does make up for it in terms of reliability. Huge disappointment for Android cuz I expected something similar if not better than iOS.
Terren Rule my OnePlus 3 is still fast as fuck.
My iPhone 6S Plus doesn’t have those issues
How'd you get it exchanged
Change your animations to 0.5x and it will feel more smooth and fast.
I did this on my S8 and it felt like the phone is brand new again
selw0nk the frame dont hold up i guess
sledhead722 pretty sure MKBHD knows that ha
selw0nk If he gets a new battery it will feel like new.
this will make your phone feel a bit janky, things will happen faster but they aren't actually being processed faster.
my dad had a pixel 2 near launch, and used it up until the release of the pixel 6, and every time i used it it still felt super snappy even though he had a ton of heavier apps running on it. the only thing that made him replace it was the battery getting worn out.
Funny that a "serious" fact for using the Pixel is a colored power button...
maysgar To be honest for a lot of people aesthetic appeal matters. It was what kept apple ahead in the smartphone race for years originally.
We can roll our eyes at comments like this, but I know personally for me it's akin to me liking the alienware laptops for the looks even though I know I can build or buy a better computer for less money. We make these decisions every day.
Marlique Sheed I understand your point. But you are talking about design, which covers a lot more than the color of a button.
Samsung came out with the small bezels. And Apple copied. A colored power button registers better.
I want Pixel 3 desrpirately along with the watch. Although my bank account doesn't really seem happy.
Did you miss the "Lol", I love the camera button so much" text that he slid in for like 1/2 a frame?
Just bought the pixel 2 XL yesterday for £350, upgraded from a 1st Gen pixel XL, I'm loving it so far, the camera, as he says, is amazing! Only once the 4th Pixel comes out, I will probably move onto the the pixel 3, honestly guys, this device is not slow, you probably won't realise it even if it slows down, save your money, wait for the newest phone to come, then buy the previous at a discounted price, this style of consumerism has served me quite well
Jordan I would just get a cheaper phone
Wow Jordan, where did you get it for £350?
@@naveenl86 I haggled a lady down from £400 on Facebook Marketplace, checked everything out and been using it ever since, what a lucky deal, it's amazing. Check out your local sales sites and anybody looking for a quick sale will accept a nicer price than advertised, also I heard there's some deals on the high Street this week on the Pixel 2 phones, good luck if you're looking for one
Im in the same boat, I've been watching pixel 2 xl to drop price since I've heard that Pixel 3 is coming this 9th October. Hopefully I can find one for around the same price as OP had.
I have also almost always gone with the same strategy. Right now I'm using the LG G6 which I bought a few months ago, after the G7 had been out for a couple months.
Saves money, and performance is 90% of the time more than good enough for normal users like me.
I use my Pixel 2 and I have no issues with performance. Camera makes crazy pictures. Best phone I ever had!
I know that I am over a year late in actually finishing this video, but what really changed the experience with the OP6 for me was downloading the Google pixel camera. It is so hard to put that phone down and it goes with me everywhere as my android of preference. People are always floored at how good the camera performs and how the pictures all look! My iPhone of preference is the red 8 Plus.
I'm really suprised by how far Oneplus has come, I know them since their first phone came out
They just started 5 years back. Everyone knows them. Unless you mean you know them since the Oppo find series days.

I have the standard pixel 2 and I haven't noticed a drop in performance whatsoever actually with Android P my phone has gotten faster. but the big difference is the XL is made by LG and the standard pixel is made by HTC so
Same
My Pixel 2 XL is still really really fast. No other Android device has ever held up this well for me before.
lg seems to have a problem promising smooth performance with their devices, but hopefully we can see better from them if the g7 one ever supports android p.
Yeah my P2XL is still as fast as when I got it. It might even be faster because I remember there used to be a 2 second black screen after using the fingerprint unlock and I don't have that delay anymore. Overall I'm still really happy with this thing I love it. Btw I'm running Pie.
Lies. Squeeze to assistant is done by htc and the XL has that
Got my 2 XL when it first dropped, and I'm pleased to say, other than it dropping recent apps, it's still operating extremely well.

I've owned a OnePlus 3 since September 2016, and I can say that it still works like the first day. Fast, snappy, smooth, it was simply the best tech purchase of my entire life!
Eros Pingani same here!!! 😉
I used to own the oneplus one back in the day and only after 2,5 years did I start to notice slight lag and a minor drop in battery life. Since then I moved to the Samsung galaxy s8 which I now have for about a year and I have already noticed a big drop in battery performance and speed. Although I love the screen I consider this one of my worst buys ever... Now seeing if I'll buy the op6 or wait till the op6t
Same, after they ve put the face unlock with the latest update. They just announced Android P for the OP3, Officially
One plus one, still going strong.
@Eros Pingani: OnePlus 3 still working great for me as well... And I am really using it a lot having installed 30GB worth of Apps (278 Apps). This Thing still runs perfectly smooth and due to an Otterbox and Screenprotector from Rhinoshield it's still perfectly intact and looks as it was new. Using it as my daily driver for over 2 years now.

I was literally going to write that but I saw you already did. Upvoted.
On the positive side, if the issue is widespread, Google can presumably just push an update to fix it.
Not a simple issue, they reached the point where Java is just shit for further app development
Does pixel have wide angle camera? What's the FOV degree on front and rear?
Has a single back camera. Both front and back are pretty wide, especially front.
You cannot OTA update hardware, Android is just inefficient with resource management
Steve Thea The rear camera aperture is 1.8 and the front is 2.4
But can it beat a stock 1997 Lexus SC 300 for $5,399.99 on eBay?

Carlos Melgar Fuck the 2J, overrated and overhyped piece of shit that got popular from a garbage movie. In stock form it made no power and even with a turbo it can't even come close to an LS. Junkyard LS, gap the rings, ebay turbos, 1000hp all day every day easy. You have to dump a fuck ton of money into a 2JZ to get it to make any power, the stock rotating assembly isn't even that strong. Not to mention that regardless of what power it makes, a straight 6 will always sound like trash. Anything that's not an American V8 sounds like a pathetic hairdryer.
Jarod Kelly Dang you hate it that much lol? I like the sound of a straight 6 imo, V8s sound good too but here in the US our domestics are a dime a dozen. Sometimes people want something different, it's not always about performance per dollar.

Reyyan Agboatwalla
Notch is nice as long it's small, problem started when the notch is so enormous and turned into useless piece of shit
I don't think they can get their shit together coz they have diarrhea.. Every six months they have new flagship.. On the other hand they have constipation with update!
I'd really like to see some actual tests done to see the difference between phones from major brands, roughly a year or two after the phones were purchased. As someone who keeps phones for a long time, that would be extremely useful.
Stefan C And not rhe shitty press the app tests where the i phone fan takes longer to press the android app to make it look bad or vice versa.
“Devastatingly laggy” ... what a world we live in when this is devastating.
Can we all agree that $700+ phones shouldn't be laggy after less than 12 months of ownership?
TDCatTech I would have preferred he hadn't included that because it makes it seem like nothing. The truth is unless the phone is really f'd, you can't make it lag on command. It's just that we rely on these things a lot and if you use it enough time throughout the day, not necessarily in a resource intensive way, you start to see instances of VERY noticeable lag. It's weird to see in a phone less than a year old straight from Google and doesn't bode well for the phone's longevity, which is the reason many of us bought it.
TDCatTech millions of people are literally starving, but my phone is a little slow 🤭
I would call it a figure of speech. Like "it's devastating you take a figure of speech that seriously". Once one said that the composer John Williams is a God. And someone else responded "there's only one true God". That's how silly you sound really.
panatha tube obviously that’s true. It’s just funny how seriously we take our phones

Probably will look into getting a new phone within the next year or so as long as it doesn't die on me. But until then, this has been the best phone I've ever owned.

Many times what you are noticing with a phone that is slowing down it can have alot to do with the swap partition used by android. Most smartphone users I know have never even heard of the swap partition. Formatting the swap partition from time to time helps keep the phone snappy. Samsung makes this easy, there is a swap format function in recovery mode. Formatting swap will NOT erase data on the phone, it is not a factory reset. This function can be found in different places ( or not at all ) on different phones.
Never assume that the phone hardware is what is causing the phone to be slow. 8 times out of 10 it's something in software or problem in the swap partition that can be fixed easily.

Was just watching your videos from 3-4 years ago.. damn is sooo nostalgic man. It’s amazing to literally watch you grow and get so good at this over the years ❤️
Yeah, my pixel is a bit slower than when I first bought it, but it's still one of my favorite phones. I appreciate the luxury of a phone like this but I reaaaally miss the Nexus line and what they were, and OnePlus is the closest thing to that nowadays. It's not my pixel's speed that bothers me it's that my speakers have degraded and are much quieter than when I first used them.
Evan Jones Nexus phones were basically AOSP maintained directly by Google. Pixel phones are AOSP + few features on top to give Google reason to call them Pixel phones and not Nexus.
Mijo Bažoka right. I liked how barebones they felt, nowadays all these features they throw at us in the hardware don't excite me because to me Google is always going to be a software company. The Nexus line felt like a cool-dude kind of shrug, like "we don't want to make the dopest hardware, but I guess we'll make this so you can use what we really care about without any bottlenecks". But what's weird is their software nowadays is so much more advanced than what they pushed back in the day, even for the time, but they put emphasis on their hardware and design so much and sell it so hard that it overshadows the software and that focus feels like a value reversal. Overall I think the focus of the company is good, the software on the pixel camera is insane and all the machine learning they're tossing into Android is cool, but the marketing department is trying so hard to swing at Apple that their missing their target entirely. It's like the math geek who sucks at but is trying to play baseball. That's another thing, Apple does well what people already want out of their phones, but Google does well what people don't know about and they keep leaning on playing Apple's game.
One thing that irks me the most is the new "Pixel" navigation bar on the Pixel phones that seems to be somehow patented; I would like to see it in AOSP so others can use it freely, but for some reason they don't - most likely is that daddy Google won't allow anyone to copy the trademark Pixel look. Like, it's just a navbar, why?
For me setting the animation scale to .5x in Dev options has saved the pixel 2 experience for me.
Jay Kim i used to do that for my old android phones, but on pixel 2 it's just not necessary, the 1x animations make it look smoother
It sucks that you have to go through that on a high end device tho.
Just The Kelz it's just a customization preference
I think his point was that you shouldn't have to adjust the settings to make animations look good, it should look good on whatever default settings. MKBHD was saying its dropping frames on animations and thats the problem. Its not just customization preference, its poor performance.
My honor 6x is a okay :')
Still using my Pixel 2xl in 2020. Have had it over 2 years
Same. Pixel 2 squad. You wanna upgrade to the pixel 4a or 5?
We're with u 🍻
Did you encounter camera issue?
@@lowiejaysaraudin9991 I have the Google pixel 2xl and the camera stopped!
@@ll-kj7uc did you fix it yourself or they did it for you?
Does anybody else notice lag on oneplus 6? Me neither
nope
Smooth as butter. Coming from an iphone 5s I almost shit out my liver
Wpieter 24 I’ve got a shitty ass 5s rn idk if I should get the 8 or one plus 6?
Oversized Goats oneplus 6, no question. The display is insane. I love the size. The power of it makes my 5s feel like an abacus. The os took me about a week to be efficient enough on, and after about a month I am just about as fast as I was on the 5s (typing and such). The oneplus is a great bargain too. I’m honestly done with apple I think.
OP6 is seriously OP. Just go for it. I personally use the Red, its
Why do you can't unlock bootloader, flash Camera2api and install Google Camera app on your OnePlus 6? With HDR+ photos are great!
Pixel 3 is coming..... goggle trottles the pixel 2?
Nikita Smekhov Coincidence.....?
Earl Simpson III hi
Earl Simpson III are you RUSSIAN?
Nikita Smekhov No I'm not Russian. I really would hate if the whole "iPhone Battery Slowdown Conspiracy" happens with the pixels.
Hope google does not copy Apple in this regard
This is a Great video to show why MKBHD isn't a 'Apple Fanboy' to the haters and why he makes Great content.
