My thoughts after comparing display units to 8 Pro

So like a lot of folks, headed up to Best Buy to look. I have a 8 Pro and thinking about upgrading with the great trade in.

Good: It does feel a little snappier, maybe it's in my head, but opening the apps does a bit. Not a huge difference. The smaller Pro doesn't really feel that small, but I could tell when I pulled up YouTube on both and did full screen. I learned then I may not be able to go to the smaller one, I watch a lot of stuff on my phone. The selfie camera is almost a reason in itself for me to upgrade. Comparing the two, it seems sooo much better than my 8. Hazel looks great. Phone feels more solid than any other pixel

Bad: I absolutely hate the mirror finish on the sides, like really. Instant finger prints, slippy, and doesn't match the awesome matte finish on the back. The speakers/sound is terrible compared to my 8 pro. Sound is super tinny and much much quieter. Like maybe half as loud on full volume? I can't believe they downgraded that while upping the price.

Honestly I was pretty sold on upgrading and getting the watch for basically free, but now I'm torn. I know I'll wanna try and get the 10 so just trying to decide if I wanna have a better selfie came for a year. I do take a bunch of pictures with my kids.
