new s*itphone needed

[Samus Aran]

im thinking about getting a Pixel through Google and using their Project Fi. the actual phone plan will save me a lot of money tbh and Pixels seem pretty nice i think. but im not sure if i would get a Pixel 2 yet, ive heard they're having some post-launch issues rn

what did you end up getting

pixel 2

its pretty neat

god damn android for still not having a proper, complete backup solution in the year of our lord 201X

i go out of my way to use the cloud as little as is necessary lol

i don't mind using it for backing up communications data like texts and contacts, but i don't like the idea of photos and other data that isn't inherently network-dependent being automatically mirrored to a cloud drive

in any case, even if i did fully embrace the cloud, the process of transferring data from one android device to another isn't nearly automatic, there's still a good deal of manual backing up and transferring of files necessary

very much unlike the near seamless process of upgrading on ios :'(
