Folks, buy an axon 7 and pay for $350, and install action launcher. You'll have a phone that looks better then a pixel sounds much better, and runs just as fast.

no
Play around with it because that ultimately will be the biggest differences between the 2 phones besides for the physical home button.

I personally hated it, the corner letters like q and p were hard to tap because they were on the curve.

+1. I got rid of my s7 edge and got the s7. Tomorrow I'm getting the pixel so I'll see the difference between the 3.

Currently on an S6 - I love the features of the S7 (wireless charging, waterproof) but hate the Smasung-ification of the phone and the slow updates. If the Pixel has the wireless charging it would be a no-brainer for me.

If Samsung would make Samsung phones with Vanilla Android they'd have a lot more buyer IMHO. Not that they are doing too shabby. Just saying.

Battery - amazing.

I get similar results every day, but just to use today as an example: I've been using my phone all day, without access to a charger, since I left my apt this morning (almost 12 hours ago), including 80 min of driving with Waze, and I'm now at 10% and "Approx. 1 hr 5 min left".

I keep location and all other services always on.

Camera is very good.

I'm not such a phone reviewer so I can't give many details, but coming from the iPhone I am really happy with every aspect other than the speaker.

Camera is excellent. Speed and fluidity is fantastic.
Screens OK.
Software is great.
Video can be great but the electronic video stabilizer does come across choppy at times.
It's a light device.
5inch is a nice size.

Volume is low and sound not so clear.
