In that case you might as well order the new HTC U Ultra from HTC Canada in which you can use a memory card...now price is sitting at $1000CDN; it's a dual SIM phone as well...

If I take a picture of my kid, if he moves the slightest bit, it is out of focus and blurry. Video also has a poor time focusing in low light. Daytime it is the complete opposite, I can take a picture of a car on the highway and literally look at all of the spokes on the rims as if they are at a complete standstill. I have the 32GB 5 inch pixel by the way.


Is this still an issue? I take a lot of lowlight indoor pictures and this would be a big issue for me otherwise very interested in the Pixel

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous when you can't purchase the flagship Google phone that launched 5 months ago.
I waited 2 months and bought a Pixel XL BNIB off Kijiji after much vetting of the seller to make sure phone wouldn't be blacklisted.

The phone is awesome, somehow Google/HTC messed up the production....

I broke down and couldn't wait. Didn't want to risk Kijiji and bought one from a Rogers corporate store. $1185 for a 32 gig blue Pixel XL

32gb? I thought the XL 128gb was that price?

I have a 32GB Pixel. I love it. My only complaint and it's driving me nuts. This thing is constantly switching from LTE to N mode. I've done all the updates and it still does it. Makes using this phone annoying when you're trying to pull something up and it won't load! Anyone else having this issue? I'm on Telus.

I'm on Rogers and I've never had this on my Pixel XL 128GB. I mean it's done it when I'm underground or in a building with a lot of concrete. But out and about I very rarely see it move from LTE.

My 32gb pixel in Niagara does not do this. You might want to go to a Rogers store and get a new sim card. Just tell them your phone keeps dropping connection, they shouldn't charge you for one.

My bad....

He should probably go to a Telus store instead, might have better luck than going to a Rogers store looking for a Telus sim. :)
