Really like this device. I do wish it had external storage but I can live with 128GB.
Is anyone getting good battery life though?

My last main device was the HTC M8 ( I ended up returning the M10) which gets me at least 4.5 hours SOT.
Just can't get those numbers with the pixel. 
Camera is fantastic. Phone is fast. Screen is great.
Great choice for anyone looking to upgrade.

Do you have the pixel or xl?
My brother has the pixel and is also complaining about the battery life.
Heard the xl is much better.

After some research it seems like the battery life is inconsistent for users. Some are having great battery life and others not so much.

Obviously there are many factors that affect battery life that can vary from person to person but still seems a bit more inconsistent than makes sense IMO.

IS there ANY way to use Google Assistant without them saving your voice searches?

Don't think so. Phone is great. Though coming from the Turbo battery may not be as good? Not sure.
Otherwise go for it!

I went to the pixel XL from my htc 10 and the phone is absolutely the best ive used!
Battery is amazing on the XL, i can get 6-7 hours of screen on time with one charge and it easily lasts a full day of heavy usage.
Quick as lighting, very smooth, and one of the best cameras on a smartphone.
No reason not to upgrade!

Nice. Is the Verizon bloatware able to be uninstalled?

I just got a free HTC 10. Thinking to unlock it and sell it to cover the cost towards a Pixel.

Anyone with a Pixel know if there's a way to have contacts display only those with phone numbers ?

Dunno about the pixel, but I ended up getting a ZTE Axon 7 to replace my buggy LG G4, very happy, especially for the price (~$310).

No lag with over 100 apps installed, great battery life, beautiful screen and sound, SD card, QC 3.0, Android 7 update on the way, close enough to stock Android to not be annoying.

It'll do until another smaller phone comes out with a removable battery.
