Google Pixel 2 Xl

So I've been on #teampixel since pretty much the beginning, the Google Pixel 1 XL was my first ever Google Pixel, and the Google Pixel 2 XL was the first ever phone I have pre-ordered before launch day, since then I've had every successive Pixel including the Pixel 5, and now the pixel 4A 5G. But every so often another manufacturer will bring out a device that has certain features or an appeal about it that I will want to try, for example a few months ago I tried to transition to a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, even after installing all of my Google Apps I just couldn't get used to it, it was just a completely different device, different feel, different everything. Most recently I tried out the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the transition to that was slightly easier, the somewhat comparable camera setup did help in that key department, but after two weeks I found myself coming back to my Pixel. There's just something about using a Google Pixel device that is, dare I say, comforting to me.

I have been using the Google Pixel 2 XL every day for over two months. It is by far the best phone I have used. I will lay out the pros and cons in this review to help you make your decision on whether to purchase this phone. Pros Battery Life - Routinely lasts all day with over 50% remaining, which...

Either it's always on or off, or auto, I don't know, if I didn't know any better, the camera does not shoot HDR photos. \- Comparing pictures with my Pixel 2 XL, from which I upgraded, the pictures are almost identical, the Pixel 5 and Pixel 2 XL share the exact same picture resolution, the Pixel 5 has a bit better colors, especially towards the edges of the image and is just very, very slightly sharper/has more detail (see comparison here: So 3 years worth of camera tech from Google when it comes to still images is rather disappointing. \- the screen always on option shows the white gesture bar at the very bottom too and most of the time in higher brightness (seems like a bug and cerainly not good for an OLED display).

I am what you may call a 'value tech enthusiast'. I love computers, and AV equipment, and phones, and networking... if it required power and has a screen or makes noise then I will probably love it. However, I learned a long time ago that electronics only live for so long before they break, are brok...

So for the longest time, the Google pixel 2 xl has been my favourite phone! I constantly think they made this phone TOO GOOD and I won't need to upgrade for a super long time.

I've been an Iphone user my entire life, but after all the apple problems y decided to give android a try, with what I googled the best phone. It comes unlocked, the box is not sealed but the phone comes with the plastic protector. No earphones but an adaptor so you can use your old ones First of al...

I had a couple Nexus phones and then moved to a Pixel 2 XL and have been quite happy. I like the updates, the camera, the free original quality photo storage, the fingerprint reader, and the stock Android experience and integration with all Google products.

The Pixel 2 is a wonderful phone. I've had it for little more than a month. The phone versitility and easy access make it among one of the best I have owned. I have never been the "gotta have it" guy with cell phones. In fact, I purposely waited until the release of the Pixel 3 before purchasing the...

Pixel 2 XL - usb-c port wouldn't recognize any headphones - free replacement, also dropped and shattered it to pieces, got replacement under pixel care. Pixel 4 - No issues so far. My family also has: 2 Pixel 2 XL's, 1 Pixel 2, One Pixel 3aXL all with no issues. 100% of the time google handled my claim within an hour of opening the case.

1. I read some concerning reviews about the vendor so I contacted them first to make sure I'm getting a new phone. I was happy with the speedy customer service response and I did receive a brand new Pixel XL 2. They are honest people and have explained why some customers may have received mismatch r...
