Google Pixel 3 Xl

But the biggest thing of all that changes the entire game is the battery. The absolute lowest I've seen the phone since getting it (accounting for time charging while driving, or leaving it on a wireless charger which isn't optimized for this phone so is only putting out 5W max) is 69% outside of the first evening of over-use. And that's with the same normal use (probably more because it's new and exciting) I put my 3 XL through, including games, text messaging, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, research, OneNote, Excel, etc., etc., etc. This is my work and life phone and I use it a LOT.

After that it took a complete 180, battery issues left and right, shutting down randomly, screen flickering at low brightness. Then I had got the Pixel 3 XL and same thing it's been great for a year and I'm seeing the early signs of what I hope doesn't come. It started with my phone freezing at a black screen in my pocket having to hold the power for 10-15 seconds to get it back on. Then having Bluetooth dropout issues.

​. I love my Pixel 3 XL, but I do agree Google has a long way to go to break through the phone market before they get their footing, again. ​.
