I went with pixel 2 just over a year ago myself and its still solid.

I have Pixel 3a. And it seems to be a solid mid-level phone. As I posted a while back, I went from an X⁴, so the 3a didn't knock my socks off, it is just a little bit nicer here and there.

I'd definitely consider a Pixel in any flavor, but Xfinity only sells/supports the 4. Too rich for my blood at retail.

Camera seems pretty damn legit, though.

**The Reverend Floater** · 11-15-2019, 11:57 AM

I think I have a 3xl? Definitely a 3.

no wide angle and no marco far as I know. But yeah Pixels have killed it with cameras for a while now.

**cinnepa** · 11-15-2019, 12:54 PM

Dammit, that A50 new? Dont remember seeing it as an option with xfinity last month. Grabbed an S9 for $25/mo.....would of jumped on that for $15/mo.

Even more likelihood that China has buried malicious code in hardware with OnePlus. I'm not saying it's a zero chance with Google. Not going to touch OnePlus. Yes, I still buy Moto, which, yes, is China owned.

No, I ordered one back in September. They weren’t running a rebate for October and first half of November on it though.
Best phone around for $100 (after rebate) I reckon.
Ya do gotta take it up the ass for tv or data to get it but I’ve been happy with Xfinity service for past two years and since I’m on wifi most of the time I usually get by with 1GB data and my phone monthly is $15 incl taxes and fees.

Ditto — the 11 pro has a crazy good camera and the night mode photography is crazy.

So looking forward to this. It's practically free, and if I understand the pricing correctly you can have 4+ lines and still have your bill stay that cheap if everyone can keep it tight with data usage.

No, you can have up to 5 lines with separate billing on each line so you would have a 1gb minimum billing on each line.

Edit: I tried by the gig. I couldn’t do it.

Nope. Dantheman has it right.
All your lines on the “by the gig” plan share data. I.e. if 2 lines each use 0.5 gb you pay for 1gb, not 2.

**4matic** · 11-16-2019, 09:02 AM

Thanks. I wasn’t clear from the rep maybe because I was trying to add a line and get a phone discount. Good to know

Well, the battery on my iPhone SE is finally taking a shit. I like the size, don’t really care about an amazing camera, and really just want a durable phone that I can browse TGR with and fits in my pocket. I also use my phone for nav in the backcountry and occasionally communicating with a garmin via Bluetooth. Any recs?

**riser4** · 11-18-2019, 12:59 PM

Ordered a Fi data-only SIM on our group plan. I have a need for it to make my life easier when I am on-call for work. And I'll let my son use it in his Moto G6 Play when he and I go to Spain in late February.

What are the chances The continued iOS updates slow my phone to a crawl within the next year?

Is there a worthy rugged smartphone option besides the CAT?

**El Chupacabra** · 11-25-2019, 03:53 PM

Google Fi is running a promo for Black Friday: Moto G7 phone is $99, with activation on Fi.

I have a G6, and am using Fi. Worthwhile upgrade? I've been mostly happy with the G6 -- only exception is that the fingerprint sensor stopped working a couple months ago, so can't unlock phone with fingerprint.
