Pixel XL Or OP5?

[sidskofa]

I can't seem to make my mind up on what phone to purchase.

I have been leaning more towards the OP5 because of the larger storage for the price. (I can get the OP5 128GB for £500 and the Pixel XL 32GB for £450.)

I don't care that much about the Pixel XL having a higher res screen.

What would you guys go for?

i would go for the OP5 just because it got SD835 and charging is a tad bit faster i believe

wait for the Pixel 2 or go for the s8, the pixel is still an excellent phone, much better than the one plus 5.

If money isn't a factor, get the Pixel 2, otherwise, OP5 all the way.

I'd love to get a pixel 2 but I won't have that kind of money. 

Also I don't really like touchwiz/ what ever they're calling it now.

Mainly media, twitter, messaging, snapchat. I kind of want the extra storage of the oneplus. It would be about an extra £120 for the 128GB Pixel XL

s8 is more than just "a little performance gain", you get a lot more feature and functionality, like water resistance, micro sd card support, much better display...ect.

Sure and that's why you would buy the S8 not because it has a bunch of RAM

That's not really viable for everything unfortunately.

go for the pixel

I'm in the same position as @sidskofa. I decided to go with the Google Pixel. Mostly for support, parts, and maintainability. I get something I don't want to worry about the manufacturer going out of business in 2 years. Also getting support should be easy. The hardware on the S8 is amazing but I can't stand bloatware. and locking a button to a feature that you can't turn off or customize is more than a bit sleazy.

I'd go for the oneplus if I were you, it's a better value when you take away all the bias and brand allegiance
