Ordered my first Pixel (non-Fold) phone since the 7 Pro...

Pixel 9 Pro XL on its way to me via eBay UK

Found out yesterday I'm being made redundant as all UK recruitment is now to be managed solely from the Dublin offices (I work (did) for Meta) - so my 2 week long ownership of the Z Fold 6 has ended as it goes back on Monday/Tuesday next week along with my 15" MBA...

TBH saw it coming a few months back; so it's not a surprise...

But I want a completely separate mobile for my 'non personal' number, which is the one I used for my previous business that I ran up until 3.5 years ago and then used it through working for Meta; as I've set up my own little Recruitment Agency business to see me through the interim until I decide to look for a new perm job (I do not want to go at it again on my own; the last time around, all 14 years of it, was enough) - but for now it'll do

Never had a current Pixel bar the Fold; so looked for a new one on eBay UK and found one today for £595 delivered - sealed/obsidian and 128GB (all that's needed) - Spigen EZFit screen protector and Ringke Magsafe case arriving tomorrow via Amazon UK

I'll get some pics up when I can

Good luck with your new Pixel and especially with your job search.

Pixel’s landed with me, its s superb phone. Impressed with the Ringke case too; really grippy and a strong MagSafe magnet

I didn't fully appreciate the extraordinary quality and reliability of my Pixel 9 Pro XL until I had used it for several months and suddenly realized that it had functioned flawlessly from the moment I started using it. Enjoy your new device!

Thank you

TBH it’s to be my business device so it’ll only get used for simple calls/texts/WhatsApp etc but I am going to use the camera and see how it compares to my 16 Pro Max

It feels a superbly built phone though and for just under £600 delivered, brand new; can’t complain at that!
