I've been using Nexus/Pixel phones since the Nexus 4 and am really glad to see Google selling their own mid-priced phone again. Android One versions of Motorola phones just don't cut it--between the crappy cameras and delayed updates they're a poor substitute for the real thing, even if the better battery life and MicroSD slot are nice.

Also, to answer a question you didn't ask, if you're handy with a hair dryer, guitar pick and suction cup, a $20 replacement battery makes a well-loved Pixel a much better phone.
