This is one review we decided to take extra time with, and if you've been following the news on the Pocketnow Daily, you'll know why. From a long list of display issues, to random reboots, to screen flashes, this year's punching bag has been the Google Pixel 2 XL. Sure it doesn't explode like last year's victim, but the issues have even pushed Google to extend your warranty for a second year. Cases like these are the reason why we like to take our time with our reviews, and it turns out that Google has done a lot over the past 3 weeks. Watch our Google Pixel 2 XL review to learn more.

If the burning goes away after a few minutes then it’s not burn in, it’s called ghosting.
I feel ghosting when I pee.
Hal I feel ghosting when I take a huge dump.
Incorrect it's image retention not ghosting as you put it. Burn in is permanent retention of an image on a display. Ghosting refers to trails behind pixels that can not transition fast quickly enough.
As a 6p owner I'm happy for you pixel users getting your problems fixed.
Carlo X how bad are your 6p problems? Mine dies between 47% and 54% every single time.
Josh Lopez same mines have gotten lucky a few times & lasted to 33%. Only because it was on the charger
I miss my Nexus 6P.
Crap battery but damn it was a good phone
SugarFreeTargets I agree 100% great phone but battery is horrible
Reading this on my 6P! I love this device. I was worried about the battery life but I easily get a full day, unless I'm watching UA-cam videos all day. Bought it used too.
I happy they addressed many of the issues and increased their warranty, I hope they could release the next Pixel generation without so many issues next time :)
Anton Makov increased in the u.s everywhere else gets standard 2 year warranty anyway
Issues were overblown.
still an issue nonetheless
I'm still not happy. I'm probably going to return my new pixel 2 xl :/ I love the camera and the speed but the screen looks horrible. What bothers me most is the grainy paperlike texture. Everything looks slightly dirty and Greyish. It doesn't even look like an 1440 p display to me when I put my 1440 p nokia 8 next to it. Maybe I got a bad unit but I've Googled it and they say the grain is something you would have to live with. Sorry I can't :/
That comment was exactly 100 likes. I just made it 101 😆
I have the exact same Pixel 2 XL as you and I love it. I use the Assistant quite a bit so the squeeze to activate feature is a nice addition for me as well. I am a huge fan of Front Facing Audio and the 2 XL is a great addition to my N6 and 6P. I'm also a Project fi subscriber and their call back time is always under a minute. Best customer service I've ever experienced. I'm sure the Pixel 2 XL is not for everyone but it absolutely is for me.
What do you use the assistant for, I got the phone yesterday but haven't really used the assistant much yet
Playdust
Hey, I use it for a little of everything actually. From having it shuffle one of my Google Play playlists to my Chromecast, to playing one of my Pandora stations via my cars bluetooth audio system. I ask it daily about traffic conditions when I'm on the road. I use it for my daily briefing (Hey Google, what's my day like). I use it for hands free dialing. I can have it send and reply to messages without ever touching the keyboard. I also find the shortcuts you can create to be very useful. If you're patient learning your way through it and at set it up around your interests, I think you'll really enjoy it.
C. P. Okay thank you im just getting used to Android after having iPhone for the past few years, I'm sure I'll get used to using google.
Thanks for waiting to put this up, allowing Google to make the needed fixes, and confirm what I already knew, which is this phone is just awesome. I had a Nexus 6 prior to my 2 XL, and I can't believe how far this phone has exceeded my expectations. As much as I loved the Nexus 6, the Pixel 2 XL is just a pleasure to use, and worth every penny.
Glad you liked it ^JR
Don't you lose a form of wireless charging and water resistance coming from the Nexus 6
Bhavik Singh wireless charging is not that important to me, and as far as I know the Nexus 6 did not have an IP rating, although using it over 2 years it definitely was splash-proof. The 2 XL is definitely an upgrade.
Yup, it's literally the perfect upgrade you can get from your 6. It has come a long way, more feature to improve the user experience, better camera processing, smoother software, better software support. Pixel 2 and pixel 2 xl are some of the best android devices you can buy right now. The display issues do exist and it's not excusable for a company like google, but we have to appreciate the fact that they are fixing it.
I create tech based content in my channel, if you don't mind please do give ym channel a visit. I will greatly appreciate it if you could.
I've been using a nexus 6 for a few years, just about to pull the trigger on one if these.
Glad to hear your experience has been a good one. Gives me a little more confidence in the expensive purchase!
it is an amazing phone! i love it so much! havent even looked at my s8 since picking this up! checks all the boxes IMO
Brianna Marie how r u
*Tries to plug in her 300 dollar headphones* Uuuuhm... Nope. Not all the boxes.
Brianna Marie dumb ass
watch out for crazy youtube trolls attacking you because you like your phone.
Krystal you get a dongle with the device ahah aha it's stupid that it doesn't have a headphone jack I know but at least you can use the dongle ;)
Really good review,thanks Pocketnow for the informative and useful review.Just got my Pixel 2 XL Panda.I love it !!
Will you guys do a camera review after the 8.1 update goes live so we can see the difference in their visual cores they added?
I use the squeeze function more than saying ok Google
valdeze me too, I've been using it so much for reminders and questions about the weather 😁
I also use it for home control
Same
Haven't had a issue with mine. Absolutely love it. Great camera great battery life great Android experience.
I noticed your battery estimate was over a day how did you manage that? My phone always estimates about 14 hours of battery life after a full charge.
So which would you pick 2 xl or note 8 or htc u11 plus. I have the note 5.
As a proud owner of pixel 2 xl, IAM telling you guys the blue tint issue is way over blown
GamingDude800 It's not. Mine is completely gone 2 weeks after getting it.
susinanth potri so you are stupid enough to pay all that.money for a phone????
Kenny S you are stupid enough to post that reply knowing that it's none of your business.
GamingDude800 - And it's really not. :)
Same here
I had Nexus 6 & I was thinking before I got my 2XL that it wont make much difference, just stock android. But man....Pixel is whole another level!
Nick Makadia ooo really I'm still using my Nexus 6, even typing right now. And wondering if I should get his phone
its an amazing phone, if u hv money then go for it or wait for pixel 3. I hv 2 problems with it tho. no headphone jack & its display feels plastic compare to N6's display, it feels like glass. not this one.
Hey how about throwing in a different SIM card to see how it works with other carriers. I'm debating whether to buy the unlocked from the google store or just going to Best Buy and buying the Verizon model and switching it with my T mobile SIM card.
Question: What's the difference in camera between the stanard Pixel 2 and the XL? I really want this phone for the camera, but the XL seems a bit out of my price range at the moment. Can someone explain the difference plz?
that Jery pic tho LOL
Haha, he asked me no to publish it until after that embargo ^JR
i know that but i just use to call him Jery hahaha
The problem with these phones is that they are right up there in the $1,000 mark and have all kinds of bugs and issues.
You would think they would be testing these phones before releasing them to the public. These phone feel like they are built and no real people use them and give feedback.
Ye, power of a brand huh.
Ah screw off dude
Not right now!! Verizon has them for $300 off... Just picked up my Pixel XL and I love it.
I got mine for 550
The phone is made by HTC and LG.
👍Good honest reviews. 😘Thank you again.
My 2XL is no longer showing my notifications when I set them with the Google assistance or setting them manually on the calendar. It all of a sudden stopped as it worked fine before I’ve checked all the settings nothing I can find ,please help !!!
Damn, your son looks like an exact copy of yours 👍👍
A Lot of the things you like on this phone, is the very same on others, like the HTC U11+, half the price of a google pixel 2 in Denmark, that phone also runs Orio (Android 8) has an almost as good a camera and a better squeeze where you can do with it what you want, also better batteri, 128gb storage and 6gb ram, and no screen issues at all... did i mention it's half the prize in denmark if I was to import the Pixel? Glad I have a U11+ on the way! Cant wait! I'm i BIG Google fan, but this is just too expensive to import or buy.
Descenter1976 I'd love a U11+, but HTC isn't releasing them in the US so they won't work on our carriers, even if I had one shipped from overseas. Looks like a pixel 2 xl for me.
That's a great deal, and a beautiful phone. But I love my pixel 2. Enjoy your device
Sorry but I've held the U11 and the LG G6 blows it away. It doesn't even compare to the Pixel 2 XL.
Hi Jaime..! do you know if this phone is gonna be released in Mexico?
Did they fix the camera glare in low light photos? I heard it's really bad for low light but great for normal lighting
Pixel 2 Xl owner... Battery life is excellent. Haven't charged the phone for 1 day and 4 hours and I still have 40% left
Tobo, I still get well over a day on my Pixel 2 XL. You might want to see if there is an app that's draining your phone and if you've already gone that route, see about getting it replaced.
Just bought the Google pixel 2 XL yesterday
Me too
@@blackbonestudio6189 It’s a great phone the camera is amazing only had it a year though found the size too big especially when working out. Had the iPhone XS the past 2 years now.
Jaime excellente video. just got mine today
What's the song playing in the background during the middle of the video?
This is a very unpopular opinion.. I actually love the blob emojis Google had awhile back.
Jaime Gomez I miss them. Worst part of 8.0 imo
100% love my pixel
Hey I know this is a late post, received the Google pixel 2xl second hand, it runs perfect and the screen is fine. However, the audio seems to be out of touch. I can't play any music or anything. No sound. Sound comes out for like 2 seconds and then goes inaudible and quiet. Very tiny sound from the top speaker but none from the bottom. Idk what to do. I've researched and can't find a solution. Maybe its a hardware issue? Hope I can get a reply. Thank you.
Why ringtone in Google pixel 2 only play in button volume but not in both speaker...plz can u tell me?
Have you noticed that speaker phone only plays out one speaker...?
Deshawn Saunders I mean for music it uses both... So why not phone calls too..? Weird. Maybe it's so it doesn't interfere with the mic since the mic hole is at the top?
GamingDude800
lol Yuuuup.
Watching this on my Pixel 2 (Not XL)
It would be pretty ironic if you watched this on a P2 XL. 😂
U made the right choice
me on Pixel 2 XL
Ratchet How would you rate the Pixel 2 screen quality?
im interested in getting one.
How is the batterylife?
I have problem with proximity sensor of my pixel 2xl..any solution to that?? Screen not getting off?
The auto brightness is not working so smoothly. What do you do about it? I have the pixel 2 and the brightness problem is driving me nuts
Pixel 2 XL or LG V 30?
iHanxD Gaming pixel life
The pixel 2 XL is a great phone but I don't think it deserves that high price tag, especially since it's pretty bare bones. In my humble opinion some of the phones that truly justify their prices this year are the LG V30 and Galaxy S8 and S8+
Some could argue the Note 8 does that too, I even ended up buying one. Stock android? Meh, I'd rather get the features added by OEMs, even Google itself adopts them. Like split screen multitasking for example.
+Safina Yeah I have to agree. As I mentioned, the price doesn’t come cheap ^JR
But the optimization tho
but then you have to deal wit here crud software
Garbage software with shit updates? When the pixel will be usable after 3-4 years? That’s a win to me!
Leo exactly.... ultimately that's where the Pixel will justify it's pricetag.
Great video. I do have a question about that slow down you mentioned. What exactly caused it to slow down?
+Ace Lucero Not sure. Maybe it was updating apps or something. Went away in about 30 seconds after using it. ^JR
I notice a white haze creeping from the bottom to the top on certain wallpapers on the pixel. It's non existent on dark wallpapers but on the live coastline wallpaper it's kind of bothersome. Is it part of the update to prevent screen burn in ? Any pixel 2 owners bothered by this?
Hi may river huh?
Lmao
Ricey Plays lol
lma0.
Perfect!
Pinchy Prince took me a minute LMAO 😂
4:56 graphic intensive games is not a problem..goes on to play contra..
Sam tyler 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I thought exactly the same thing. Either he's a fan boy or this is a sponsored review.
Youness Hanin Why would it be? Is a note 8, iPhone X or oneplus 5t, v30 etc. better in that aspect?? No
Immanuel Kant as far as iphone X goes, no. It too would easily suffer from burn in. Thats why apple uses the new live wallpaper but for the Note 8 or S8, the chance of that happening it tiny and after years of usage, not a couple of weeks like this pixel. Add to that all the bugs and problems it has everyday
Youness Hanin I was talking about the gaming performance. And it's only screen retention btw
Immanuel Kant Gaming wise they should all have the same performance. Maybe better ram management on the Note 8 and 5T thnx to their bigger ram
Almost sold on the pixel 2xl after the latest update, can anyone attest to how much closer the new update makes the screen of pixel 2xl comparatively to X or S8? Also the blue shift isn’t a big issue for me as much as the supposedly screen burn in? What does that mean and what are your thoughts on that?
LG v30 is my fav now, cause of the dac mainly, but i want a fast ui experience... is LG then a no go? Or isnt it far behind Pixel. What other phone would you recommend and why?
You notice burn in but then claim all problems are fixed. WTF.
Shah Auckburaully paid advertisement basically... 1 month burnin...imagine what it will look like in a year
+Shah Auckburaully do some homework on how every company avoids this effect through software ^JR
GamingDude800 you sound angry like his comment is a personal affront to you, can we keep some perspective folks, my understanding of his comment was that all manufacturers have to take steps in software to mitigate against this inevitable problem with OLED technology, not cure it.
Pocketnow Fading is not the solution though. Changing pixel position would have been better & this should not have been applied to the bottom bar only - the icons being burnt in is an awful thing to experience. It's a shame that such fixes had not been applied after the QA process...if there had even been a QA process.
Robert Anderson it's annoying when they're paid by Google for this garbage
Watching on my Pixel 2 now 👍. Love this phone.
madfacecharlie 3 How's your experience been so far?
Anthony Turner L Love the phone. Performance is butter smooth. The camera is great. I haven't had any of the issues that have been reported on the 2 XL. Just download the developer preview for 8.0.1 so far no issues & haven't had those reboot issues either. The best experience I have had using Android. Battery performance has been good for me as well. I get about 5 hours screen on time & that works for me. The front facing speakers are dope, great sound. Before this phone I had the Honor 8. 👍
is it as great as it looks?
Ivan Gonzalez yes in my opinion.
the review i've been waiting for ;) love your ch frm Ph;)
+Edward Naynes thanks! ^JR
Hi Jaime, Hi everybody,
Does anyone facing some issues with the top front speaker ?
I'm experiencing some buzzing and rattling pretty much everytime especially with trebles and voices.
But does it have a headphone jack?
I'm glad it's gone, it always got in my way
valdeze how does a headphone jack get in the way?
Yes, a USB-C headphone jack.
Anthony Turner me too
Spyder it doesn't. And he doesn't have a valid reason for having said that. He's just a typical drone who is going along with the poor excuse for capitalism taking place in the smartphone world. In other words, he's just spreading his cheeks wider for these large corporations.
Can't fix lack of headphone jack with software.
What is screen burn in?
I had the GPXL 2 but I had to send it back cuz my carrier didn't recognize the phone. I was wondering if this was a software issue or my actual carrier?
Google should have never gave the contract to LG to make the pixels! Smh😑
Why only Verizon???
Google would sell more phones if it was available on TMobile and all other carriers
Romeo Calmo Your can Buy from Google and using Any carrie
ahanna crisham Yep, my Nexus 6P was bought from Google unlocked and I use AT&T.
I have thought about this for a long time and I think making it available only through Google or Verizon keeps the relative value of the phone high. Compare it to the LG v30 which is widely available and you can buy them off of swappa or eBay for $500~
How many mega pixels do the cameras have front and back?
@Jaime what game were you playing?
Every phone should have front facing speakers, yet the phone isn’t as loud as the iPhone X or the Razer phone...🤔🤫
Yea lol the Razer Phone is by far the best though, but yea it's funny that the iPhone X is louder
Loudness doesn't mean good quality. The Pixels have a fuller sound then the iPhone, which is nice and it gets plenty loud at full volume. Plus it still sounds good and is not as shrill as the iPhone.
Esti Robertson The iPhone X is most certainly not shrill, but you’re entitled to your opinion. 🙄
Calvin Green That's factual, since some units could be bad compared to others.
The Razer Phone is in a class of its own ^JR
Who ever says we don't need anymore RAM or storage are the cancer for making companies give us shitty phone specs, and Android needs more not less.
ELEXCEER 6GB for android is must...I personally feel my iphone need more than 3GB....🤣🤣🤣
Henry N. 4GB is not able to maintain apps in ram during multitasking....
Henry N. Enjoy your 4GB ram...2015 specs for android...
Hector G. Agreed...if u r charging more than nexus...than we want more than nexus...
What do u multi task between Witcher 3 and photoshop?
Which colour is better ? Just black or panda white black ?
Really fair review. I love the phone and it's been my daily driver without complaint. The audio when recording had been fixed on the latest update (in beta now and I'm running it). Google really has responded very well to getting this phone ironed out. I'm just afraid many won't try it because of that and because of the price. They should knock $120 off and then I think people would do new reviews, second looks, and give it a much better grade.
Wait for Pixel 3. Killer phone.
Abdulai Bah Should be significantly better, but I won't get my hopes up too high.
Abdulai Bah Hopefully not suicidal like this one
Abdulai Bah That's what they said about THIS phone!
Nah pixel 4 will kill pixel 3 for sure
Abdulai Bah looking forward to the Note 9 but will most definitely keep my eye on the new Pixel.
the headphone jack issue isn't fixed
When my pixel 2 screen is off and the only thing on is the clock in the black display, there's this glitch that I get when trying to put my phone horizontally. It goes horizontal for a second but then the time goes back to a vertical orientation. Does anyone else experience this? If so is there a fix or is it something I am doing? Thanks
Have a Nexus 6p and was lucky enough to get the burnin replaced just before warranty ended. No more cheap screens. Was planning on getting pixel 2 but too many issues. Going for the note 8
I love how people shits on iphone when they decided to remove the headphone jack last year, no wireless charge. "Oh no, all my fancy headphone is useless now, can't use headphone while charging, bluetooth headphone doesn't sound as good as traditional 3.5 mm audio jack headphone, its 2016/17, wireless charging is a thing now, etc etc" - and when google do those things in late 2017, people were like "yeah, lack of audio jack isn't something new, wireless charge is not THAT fast compared to usual plug in charge, pixel got no wireless charge? i can live with that".
nizam rashid clearly you don't read enough comments, any phone without a headphone jack will get loads of hate not just your precious iphone.
n e i'm using lenovo k3 note btw.
nizam rashid then what makes you think Google doesn't get hate
n e i'm not saying google doesn't get hate. I'm saying that it's 'funny' that people shits on iphone for these exact reasons ; no headphone jack, no wireless charging - and when google do the exact, same thing on pixel 2 in late 2017, suddenly no headphone jack and no wireless charging is 'okay'.
Kinda what Apple meant by courage. They were the first large smartphone manufacturer to support removing it so it wouldn’t be so painful for other companies in the long run.
If Apple has that many bugs and issues, he would have raped the Apple...
i dont like his reviews, i prefer juan
Manish Balam Google fanboy
Y’all didn’t watch the video clearly. This video was to show all the things that was FIXED that’s to google being consistent with updates unless it’s something major apply would not have jumped on an issue to fix that quick. We got the same type of video when Samsung did all their fixing from the note 7 thing
Tyler Beasley but these things are not fixed.. just because his handset appeared to be okay. Plenty people still are seeing burnin with the mid November batch
Mick Harrison so when will you allow progress to be reported? Only when there are no further instances of problems thou know as well as the rest of us, that there has never been such a device nor I'd contend is there likely to ever be. Others are judging the XL on their experience with it, how is it disingenuous for Jamie to do the same?
What watch are you wearing?
Google pixel 2 xl new user here for less than 1 month. Just a question, is it really normal for this phone to have waves when using the camera? Specially indoor in well lighted area. Comment and answer is well appreciated. Thank you
Sorry but I don't think it's a great looking phone....I know looks is subjective..but for me the Samsung galaxy note 8 is the best looking device of 2017.
Right, looks are subjective. I like it, and that's what I said.. I didn't say you should like it too ^JR
No.
The S8 is a much better looking device but, the HTC U+ and iPhone X are my personal favourites.
The Note 8? It looks like a brick.
i like pixel 2 xl the most,its more of my style,i like its two tone matt black with the dual speaker set up over the glossy note 8 n iphone x
The LG V30 is beautiful as well.
ki flex I agree with the fact that Samsung galaxy note 8 is a very good looking phone but the pixel is still a great phone
Watching this on my iPhone X
how to turn the one handed mode on? i cannot do it. please help.
What version of contra are u playing at 04:55
I'll keep my iPhone X, thanks!
Screen burn in is a deal breaker
Gilberto Especially almost straight out of the box...😂
Seriously not noticeable, and this is after almost a month of use ^JR
Pocketnow but if just after a month of use you're saying that there's barely noticeable screen burn in, then just imagine what will happen in the next 2 years of me using the phone. 😣
Pocketnow a month? Should only show signs after 12 months or more. For 1500 screen burnin should be noticeable at all. Google haven't fixed shit. My phone has burnin and it came with the new update.
A reviewer saying it's barely noticeable after a month is hilarious... You do realise it's only going to get worse? How much did Google pay them?
Where do u post the vlogs that u have in your reviews? I'd love to watch them
My personal channel. It's JaimeRiverTV on UA-cam ^JR
Pocketnow Is it the channel that's got 2 videos?
Can they patch in a headphone jack? 🤔🤔
What a superficial, embellished, and pointlessly praising review. Learned absolutely nothing (besides just a mention that battery life should be okay). Can Juan just do all the actual reviews on this channel?..
Typhoon792 - Thank you! I've been saying that for over a year now. Just let Juan do all the reviews & let Jaime stick to the news.
Stopped right after hearing: "And yees, I do notice a small screen burn in...". Nope, bye.
too much negetivity , they scan for every fault in android
If it goes away after a while, it's called image retention. I have no idea why he used the term "burn in"...
For the money they charge you, it better come close to flawless. Don't care about the brand. If it's shit, no thanks. I am not a fanboy of any brand. Give me something good or I move to another company. The compromises I am willing to make will never include faulty hardware.
SJ yeah screenburn in in 3 months is just wrong
SJ ok, bye.
So how has the reboot issued been fixed?
Juan, what watch/band is that?
I personally think it's a ugly phone, I prefer the look of the Samsung note 8 or the LG v30 ...
RockNez who cares if it's ugly. Cases cover the phones
Pathetic how this guy is always trying to defend this phone, he should just admit that the iPhone X, Note8 and even the V30 are far better options than this pixel
+Daniel Trejo I have videos on them as well, so stop being pathetic about finding reasons to complain ^JR
Pocketnow I didn't say anything about if you have or not videos about them, I said is just tiring and pointless to keep trying to defend that phone, I got nothing against google, but is just obvious that pixel 2 xl was a total FAIL, everybody knows it, the screen is just garbage, no software can make up for faulty hardware and to make things worse, is fucking expensive, not to mention the ugly design and the plasticky coating which feels cheap, lets hope that next pixel gets better but in the meantime, this phone is CRAP, id get another phone from another brand.. iPhone X, Note8, V30, 5T, the list goes one and one, so plz stop trying to justify this google failure
Daniel Trejo chill my dude, it's still a good phone.
GamingDude800 but unfortunately not enough to stop you commenting on it though it would seem... Hey oh
GamingDude800 also I'm pretty sure they fixed that problem too.
I have an iPad Mini 1 with a non-retina display, LCD IPS panel, gets horrible burn in.
Hi , I am recently buy pixel 2XL , but I face one problem that is when I take selfie that automatically flipped , now how can I solved this problem, please help me
iphone X is best...2017
Admit it Google is good with software but not with hardware
Android user can better go for
Note 8,v30,5T....
Tech4 Life v30 overrated. Most likely switching to Pixel 2
Pixel 2 xl or Iphone x? Which one to choose? And why? Wanna buy the Airpods
The screen issues are inexcusable. Not buying.
Raghavendra Ravi the screen issue is massively overblown but hey keep reading and watching ppl trying to make a quick buck.
Erislandy Valdez I get that. I don't care about the blue hue or unsaturated colours (I love both LCD and LED displays) but, burn-ins at such short period of time is, like I said, inexcusable.
Dont go for pixel...get note 8 or v30...iphone X...
Himanshu Chamoli yes get the lag 8
HTC U11+
Great video - my Panda will be here in 2 days...can't wait. What was that Contra-looking game being played at 4:54
I noticed that the sound from the speakers is now fixed, since I don't ear anymore the rattling sound from the bottom speaker while viewing videos. Have anyone else noticed this?
Bias reviews
LoL.. right. Biased comment then ;-) ^JR
Pocketnow LOL
STILL AN OVERPRICED DUMPSTER FIRE PHONE
lvlaple4Ever Like the iPhone X? 🤔
Jaime Valladares Nah, possibly like the S8/S8+ in the initial months of its release. Too difficult to call, huh? 🤨🙄🤔
Awesome video, do you think I should wait for the Pixel 3 XL? or buy this one?
wow ! problems fixed.. amazing,!
LOL, you are still the biggest Google fanboy but that's okay.
venom5809 Thats okay because you are not an apple fanboy?
Lol 😂
Ibrahim Ahmed I have iPhones and I have Galaxies and other android phones. I have a Mac, MacBook and 3 PCs also and a few Toshiba laptops so you can figure out now what I am instead of your idiotic comment that had no basis since I never mentioned Apple in my original comment. Hell I just bought a Google Home today.
venom5809 But if you have 3 PC's, then why do you have a Mac!????!!!????????? Same goes for the macbooks
Immanuel Kant because he can? Or, his family prefers macs? Or maybe he just prefers Macs and he uses his PCs as home servers? There’s a plethora of reasons that one would have multiple PCs and Macs.
I despise the way this guy says his name!😠
Mel Zemourit His name is in Spanish, for me that's normal. As a native Spanish speaker is normal to give the "R" a stronger sound than English Speakers
Marcus Maldonado I'm not American.
Jaime, I'm assuming you got a later batch phone, have you noticed any issues with blacks smearing or graininess on low light? I use my phone in the dark a lot and that would be a potential killer for me.
+Neon_Lights12 no issues here ^JR
Pocketnow good to hear, thanks for responding!
software updates is a good thing right.
returning my pixel 2xl the screen is just plain awful don't sugar coat it guys, if I'm spending a thousand dollars on a phone I'm not gonna live with that screen
Well it's not sugarcoating. What I will tell you is that our phone wasn't first batch. It actually arrived about two weeks late. Maybe the newer units have less issues. ^JR
I don't have a screen issue either it's awesome. Must of been the first batch of phones
Pocketnow they're all horrible. It's like 3rd generation oled
steve b nah I have a November batch .. still shit. Phone flashes when you go to lock it or unlock.. blue tint and a small angle, screen burnin and a few dead pixels
Got my phone 2 weeks ago... I don't have any issues... Pulled it out of the box, update it, set the display to saturated mode.
F Google. That is all.
fgoogle?
Ironically you're likely using services by them all the time...
Dude Lmao everything is use is almost Google lol I love them
What?
Should I keep the pixel XL or the s8+? I've just started testing Google fi yesterday with a used pixel xl. I haven't opened the s8+ as much as I want to try it on my Verizon account because the $35 restock fee with Best buy. So I really don't know how it feels to use yet. Is the s8+ with paying $74 with Verizon over the 1 year old pixel XL of Fi for $40? I could always sell the pixel at anytime and change things. S8+ would bring a 2 year commitment keeping me with Verizon. I'm leaning towards the pixel mostly because of Fi that surprisingly has LTE in my crap area, even though it says I would have 2g according to their coverage map. Ok end of my inner turmoil at the moment, throwing it out there for any useful thoughts on this decision lol. Take care.
I didn't see the red dragon skin on the dbrand site.
