I get the new Pixel pretty much every year when it drops. I’ve done that for the last six years or so, and I always go with the Pro XL. I’m a Google guy, and I like being first in line for the new AI and Android features.

This one is probably the best Pixel I’ve owned, which is saying something. The camera is great, the software is clean, and it just works with the rest of my Google ecosystem. I don’t use a case or a screen protector because I want to actually see and feel the phone the way it was designed. I have the preferred care plan from Google, so if something happens, I’m covered.

Every year when the new one drops, I pre-order, trade in my current phone, stack whatever cashback deal I can find, and I’m usually into the new one for around $200 out of pocket. Not a bad deal for a flagship phone every year.
