How does this compare with S7 edge and S8 difference in hardware?

Screen, s7 and s8 have a 2960x1400, pixel has 1920x1080. S8 has a better camera. S8 has a faster processor. S8 has better battery.
But pixel has unlimited cloud storage, faster updates, cleaner version of android.

S7/Edge runs like rubbish after 3 months and needs a full reset....forgo that part but I bet the S8 will be the same. I had S7 edge and had to reset it every 3 months and sold it on. All the follow up reviews say the same. I gave Samsung a change as S7 Edge was such a great phone and heard TouchWiz lag wasn't so bad (That was lie). Camera being better is also debatable. I've gone back to iPhone now but I'd only have a stock android or iOS device now (possibly a OnePlus) as hardware is nothing without software. This is a good deal but probably best to wait until iPhone and Pixel launch. Having said that they won't be in this price bracket and this will still be supported for 2 more years and 3 for updates.

I have to agree with you. I had the note 3, it was supposed to be a power house, started to become very unusable. I haven't owned a proper android phone since. But my sister has the s7, she hasn't complained. So maybe depending on how you use it and what you download.

I have been using S7 and S6 Edge and now S8 and I could not fault any of them at all. They were all running perfectly smooth perfectly fine. Except will you start visiting dodgy website which installs malware on your phone and that has a big impact on performance. Or if you have been watching too much dodgy porno then it runs sluggish and need hard reset. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Right until where you mentioned S8 has better camera. That is indeed false.

From the samples I've seen, I have no doubt that the s8 camera is better. Plus from the comparison sites and videos, state the same. That's not to say the pixel camera is bad, it's not. It is one of the best cameras out there. I would even say it's better than the iPhone 7 (which I own).
"In my opinion, if you're after the absolute best camera you can find in an Android phone, the Galaxy S8 is the way to go still. But the OnePlus 5 takes brilliant shots that are almost as good and won't empty your bank balance in the process"

Pixel XL has 2k screen not 1920x1080.

Yeah but they're not talking about the Pixel XL are they?

It dosent that's why they have to sell it off cheap.Overpriced when it was released and still lacking in most departments.Boring to use and missing alot of features I couldn't live without.Memory card,wireless charging so you don't wear out the charging port and water proofing.Would have the s8 or s7 edge over this anyday.

Pixel 2 due to be revealed Oct 5th, last I heard.

Yes worth mentioning but it will be double this price no doubt.
I'm wanting a couple of cheap contracts but ideally need around 5GB of Data, this deal is a bonus because it's the 128GB handset. The phone takes brilliant photos so this deal would be ideal for someone that takes snaps more than surfing the net.

Enough of this "I'm wanting ...." !!! What on earth is wrong with plain and simple "I want ..... " ?
I bet you weren't taught to say I'm wanting at school.

Pretty sure nobody was taught to say "i want" either, "I would like" or "may i have" would actually be correct. Not that i really care either way.

Totally agree, but using 'i' as a lower case pronoun? Now that really upsets me.

Ok so just to clear this up quickly, I was in work and I should have been working but found this deal so if I didn't spell everything correctly I'm sorry, I was in a rush!
im still in a rush now so sorry in advance if I make some mistakes again :thumbsup:

I wouldn't worry about it mate...there's plenty of that on here anyway, i see things like that as light humour, kudos for posting the deal though...thats what counts at the end, the rest is supplementary :wink: :smile:

With my Z3C dying I need a new phone. And this is cheap as chips.. i'm still tied into a current EE contract for 2 more months though and they won't let me switch over. I don't know what to do

Been on the lookout for deals on the 128gb model. Previous best deal i saw was with EE, for a 'nearly new' device, for £37.99 a month. Possible £30 quidco too? Voted hot and bought.

...as for for the deal, a 2GB, Unltd min and texts tariff can be found for £10-12 region leaving the handset cost to be approx £432-456.
Current deal on a sim free Pixel XL 32GB from CW is currently @ £449
I reckon its a good deal so have heat accordingly

this pixel in this deal is neither the XL model nor the 32GB variant.. so why use a XL 32GB as a comparator? a bizarre and rather pointless comparator to use

I'm sure it will only get one more update after 8.0, did they fix the lens flare and boost the sound
