I'm using a Pixel 2XL currently... previously an One Plus One, Nexus 4p, and I don't recall exactly before that. Mostly following the google developer line. This will probably be the last Google recommended phone I use. Mostly because of ongoing bluetooth issues since Oreo, fixed briefly in the late P betas, but broken again in P release.
I just can't justify the price tag. At $250-400, I'd buy almost every year. At the current price tag, I want 2-3 years out of it. In the end, I'm probably going back to mid range pricing territory after 2019 unless there's something really compelling. All I feel looking at the results is, "meh."
I buy a super cool top end phone, then I wrap it in an otterbox, and in the end, I'd rather have that be closer to the mfg case with a bigger battery. The round to the edge screen makes it harder to use without a case. I think it's a time to take a step back and re-evaluate the place of function with form.
