Great phone. It just works.

Went up from 6T as it wouldn't switch to cellular with WiFi and sometimes even wouldn't connect to the Google Fi network. This works fine. Once you get a feel for how quickly this one charges, everything else will be disappointing. While I'm mostly happy with the overall experience, there are a few things that bother me about the camera. 1. Pro mode only supports the main camera. Why not wide angle? You can't scale either.2. You cannot set the default high-resolution mode. The standard resolution is only 12 megapixels! Why?3. Panorama mode has been improved and is much smoother. However, it does not take advantage of the wider camera. You can also choose no camera/lens. If you install GCam, you will get more (or more) number of pixels.4. In Pro mode, if you adjust certain settings and let the rest float, the shutter speed won't slow down to compensate (unless you also adjust it manually. 5. You can't zoom in portrait mode. Why 6. The stabilization is lame (but the video is cropped compared to the photo).

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
