They were both released at the same time; HTC even aided in manufacturing the Pixel for Google. There's not a lot of differences, but the main difference is the placement of the fingerprint scanner and overall design- I personally prefer the sturdiness and design of the HTC, but that's down to personal preference.
The Pixel also has a lot of manufacturing flaws. Speaker problems, screen problems, wifi problems. There's a bunch. It also has an OLED display, which means that it will burn an image in to your display if left idle for too long. I'd recommend steering towards the HTC 10, but make your own informed decision c:
I don't own either of these phones, I work for a mobile retailer and handle these devices every day for repairs and troubleshooting.
Seems on par with the pixels except it has a better resolution screen 2k screen..but I would go with an amoled panel (personal choice)

Great DAC in this too and bear stock android. Was tempted between this and iPhone 7+ when I got rid of the bloatware S7 Edge.

What's DAC?

DAC = Digital to Analogue Converter.
It's the chip that converts digital audio from the phone into analog signals that come out through the headphone jack to drive your headphones.
The quality of the DAC has a huge impact on the quality of sound that you get out of a phone's headphone socket.

Pity it's a HTC design. Never liked them much.

Bought this for 399 earlier on in the year as I couldn't afford a pixel, I have been very impressed, the specs are very similar to pixel but HTC has an SD card slot which is a bonus, would definitely recommend this phone, heat

I like this phone a lot, but the pixel does have a better camera.

Still using my HTC one m8 , which I upgraded to from Samsung Galaxy S2 many moons ago , phone is 3 years old now and although still going strong I do notice a huge difference compared to my girlfriend's buttery smooth iPhone 7 so planning on getting the Pixel 2 when that comes out .
Can definitely reccomended HTC, build quality seems to always be top notch and the software is pretty good too
For the price I would personally rather get a Pixel but that's just me

Are you me? I also have the m8, upgraded from a Samsung, a gf with an iPhone 7 and I'm also waiting for the Pixel 2. If it's underwhelming however, I might go for the Samsung S8.

Haha chances of that. Only ever seen 1 other person with the same phone as me , a lot of people dismiss all other brands except from Samsung and Apple which is a shame as lots of the others just get dismissed regardless of how good they are. All about that marketing I guess (constantly see iPhone and Samsung ads everywhere)
I think the difference between us might be that I'm not interested in the S8 so if the pixel 2 isn't what I'm hoping for I'll be looking more towards another HTC or LG :wink:
Seems like we have a fan group of HTC one m8 owners in this thread :raised_hand: :thumbsup:
@thegame999 if you only use it for basic functions why don't you look for something less premium without all the expensive gimicky features?
