Kellen

It’s not often that you get to merge personal passions into a professional life, but that’s what Kellen did when he launched Droid Life in 2009. After working years of unsatisfying jobs in the medical and property management fields, he took a risk to try and create an online community while playing with the coolest gadgets on the planet each day, a risk that has turned out to be incredibly rewarding. Outside of Droid Life, Kellen is your typical Portlander who drinks way too much good beer, complains often about the Trail Blazers, and can be found out on the streets for a run, rain or shine.

  • Thank you for showing me that the value of droid-life. I've got the site blocked from my news feed now.

  • I still have my base Pixel 9 didn't see the 10s as a huge jump. But anything older than 8 may be worth the upgrade.

  • I returned it earlier, has it gotten better? Because I also have $300 in store credit to use making it only $85 after taxes or so.

  • I looked into this with reading in my Pixel 8 Pro. Took price down to about $500. Once I added the P10 Pro XL to the cart, the price on phone went from $300 off to 15% off. An hour online with chat "help" and I said f-it… The hassle just isn't worth any more time spent. But I have complained that the website is changing different from advertised for no apparent reason.

  • On top of the sale you can also use this discount code for an additional 10% off:

  • Still on pixel 8 so far so good, still saving my money skipping all the newer models until 12 or 13 come out.

  • I really don't like the "get it for next to nothing" headlines which generally only mean if you trade in a brand new car, you can get the phone really cheap. I liked it better when sites like this didn't follow the trend of headlines that really didn't show a price most persons could get.

    • I always roll my eyes when I see these.

      "PiXeL fOr NeXt To NothIng!"

      Oh…you mean unless you sign up for a 2 year contract or have an expensive phone to trade in? Gotcha.

  • Deals almost done! Hurry! Ooooh, oh no! Its the first week of November, of course there will be more deals and better deals as Christmas approaches. Stop being a hype man for cooperations

  • Should I get the Pixel 10 for $349 through US Mobile or Pixel 10 Pro for $499 through Mint Mobile?

  • You can also get 10% with referral codes from pixel just remove between the R and E and its stackable.

  • hmmm… I really wasn't planning to upgrade to the pixel 10 pro, but I can get it for only $350 from my current 9 pro. My free AI pro subscription from the 9 is running out this month, so upgrading would save me $240 over the next year too, so in reality I'm only spending $110 to get the new phone. Shoot.

    Anyone make the upgrade from the 9 pro to the 10 pro? Any worthwhile upgrades for $100?

    • I am in the same boat, but I am just not sure that it is worth $350 to upgrade at this point?

      • for $350, I wouldn't. But given the annual cost of the AI pro subscription ($240 a year which has the 2 TB cloud and AI home I need) it takes the cost down to basically $155 for new phone. Given the trade in value will be higher on a newer phone if the 11 is a better deal, I justified the cost to buy it.

    • I did. Returned it. It seemed like exactly the same phone. The new tensor is well….a tensor. You can't cant tell the difference between the 9 and 10 series.

      • You also get to keep the pSIM slot in the P9P, but I heard from someone who wanted to sound "in the know" to not expect even nanoSIM on the P11 series.

    • You can use this code for an additional 10% off on top of the sale price:
