Great price for the infamous Pixel handset from Google. Matching Carphone Warehouse price from a couple of days back, but always good to have options!

I have a oneplus 5, my brother has a pixel and I can easily say that their perfomance is pretty much identical, perfectly smooth
The pixel will have more updates and quicker, and without silly battery drain issues etc that can pop up with the oneplus 5
Also the Pixel's camera is fantastic, I've taken some good photos with my op5, but they dont compare.
OP5 is still a brillint phone though.

Pixel is way better than Oneplus 5 in terms of experience....

Pixel tbh. Quality of the phone and also OS is unmatched. The One5 is great and all spec wise but the OS which u interact with on a daily basis is lacking. Ridiculous draining issues, heating issues etc. Plus the one5 doesn't get quick updated like pixel does from Google, with the pixel you'll always get the latest official version of Android from Google asap (no waiting around for months at a time such as with other Android devices)

Big plus with oneplus is the dual sim, plus much more storage.

£400 for an outdated quad core phone? Not likely. That spec shouldn't go over £200 now.

Something like the Motorola G5 which is very similar (except that it has an OCTA core processor, expandable memory etc. etc. and starts around £169).
It's not a patch on this phone. This has a much much better camera for a start. It is faster, with twice the memory, a 4k video camera etc. And only 4 months older that the G5

It the Google software update s which makes this phone special. Otherwise old hardware from last year . The biggest problem with Android is no software updates. I have old iPhone which is on latest version of iOS and new Android phones which will never see any updates, even after a serious virus vulnerabilites. So this phone holds value because of software not hardware

Basemark OS II Google Pixel: 2901 Motorola G5: 952 Just because it's Octa Core doesn't mean it's faster. The GPU is also better on the Pixel as it's an Adreno 530 as opposed to Adreno 505 on the G5.
The Pixel is actually still in top 15 of fastests phones at the moment. Not to mention that since it's pure Android it will be snappier than a phone with similar benchmark results.

People are so dumb to buy quad core phones these days man..... It's like.. how on earth does anyone use a smartphone that isn't at least octocore for average smartphone tasks?! Ridiculous. /s

I tried Samsung S8 and Lg G6.... But I still prefer Pixel without any doubt... It still works better than the current new spec phones....

You forgot to mention it's a Snapdragon 821 quad core with an Antutu score of 145,387
I think that puts things in to perspective. The so called quad core 821 isn't doing too bad a job is it? Obviously not. So probably best to think more before you post.

Complete nonsense. Name a phone under £200 with these specs. You can't get anywhere near the camera quality for under £200.

I've just had a email from Google offering a free daydream VR with a pixel purchase not sure that's such a hot deal :laughing:

Not considering in USA they have reduced the price and are giving a free daydream VR
What do you take him for? 8 threads only? That's not even enough to send a text message these days..... We talking Xeon e5-2699 - 44 threads for web browsing and fruit ninja baby!!!

Compare that with another popular phone the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X which has an OCTA core chipset, so 8 cores, with an Antutu score of 61,718

A Galaxy S8 with 8 core Exynos scores 174,150
