Using the Google Pixel 2XL in 2023 is a lot better experience than you might think! Even without the software updates, if you can get one with a decent battery, the performance is still good! The camera has aged well, too. Back when Google did things right with their phones!

I never used to dislike Google stuff. They used to have some good phones!
Typing this from pixel 2 XL!
Brother, does it still have unlimited photo backup by Google photos?
The Pixel 2XL and Pixel 4XL were my favorite pixels of all time, until the Fold came out. The Pixel 2 XL is a legend!
Definitely is!
Yes sir! The Pixel 2XL was my very first Pixel and it is responsible for making me a Pixel fanboy lol. That has to be the BEST Phone I've ever had. I love my Pixel 7 but the 2XL was just special man.
Definitely is!
i am still using the same google pixel 2xl ,it got a special place in my heart
Absolutely!
How is the battery after all this years?
@@frankmenen6078 it goes for a day or 2 (light usage) but on heavy usage it manages half a day
This is the exact phone am using right now to watch this video. I have used it for two years now, is a machine!
Do you recommend buying it at the moment?
I have a newer phone but I'm in love with the Pixel 2 I couldn't have it at that time
@@tzov It is really a good phone, I have been using mine since November 2021, it has never had a NY issues. Is a good buy anytime 👍
Ha! I remember this being one of those devices that made me frustrated with Google when they removed the headphone jack, especially after they had poked fun at Apple the year before when they did that on the iPhone 7. At the same time I strongly considered this phone alongside others like the Galaxy S8 and the LG G6. I ended up getting the S8 which was basically laggy after a week. Less then a year later I jumped ship to the OnePlus 6 and stayed with OP until the end of 2022 before I switched to an iPhone.
The Google pixel 2xl is still my favorite phone I've ever had and I've had iPhones and androids so that says alot
this phone was awesome to me, my only problem i had with it was the display, which i had 3 of these phones and the displays were mediocre at best when it came to colors. but still one of my favorites.
It was definitely a different color panel that we were used to at the time, but given what they use today, I would take it!
We currently use this phone picked one up panda version for just $67
It's cool to see the older Pixel. My first was the 4a, so I never played with anything before that. I'm glad to see it was a good phone.
As to Mint, I'm on my 3rd year with them. I just buy service a year at a time and it works well for me. I've never had an issue with service or anything and the data always feels pretty zippy :)
Yep! I've had the service for testing the phones for a while and I like it! Yes, I used to like the Google stuff a lot more!
Pixel 2XL took phone camera's to a new level at the time.
Definitely, I still remember seeing the photos for the first time.
@@StevealiciousTech Remember the 3XL and 'that notch'.
Just got one of the all black 128GB from Swappa. I was going to use it as a security camera. I fell in love with it having all the memories of this period of Android. Now I use it at work to pass the time.
Watching on my panda 2xl , running on Mint! Winning!!
Definitely!
Same
Watching on pixel 2xl 5 years in going strong
Pixel 2 XL for now 2023 is still worth it or not
what's the bad side?
Does it still have unlimited photo backup by Google photos
Sadly, I didn't give the Pixel a shot back in the day (Samsung too, wanted to avoid the hype and see what Moto and LG (and BlackBerry 😉) etc could do) but man (!) my pixel 6a was quite an entry to the brand. Makes me think I've missed some gems over the years 😊 😇
I would not buy a new Pixel, unless I got some free or very very cheap carrier deal. Maybe I should call it "Glitchel." I'm glad I decided on the Galaxy A54 over the Pixel 6A. I was considering the 6A for a while, but cameras aren't everything. I'm buying a phone, not a camera. I've had bad customer service issues with Google as well. I don't trust Google.
The Pixel 2XL might be a classic, but it's still a photo king! Snaps pictures sharper than a detective's eye, with Google's smarts making every shot a masterpiece. Plus, the battery holds on for dear life, perfect for all-day adventures. The only downside? It's a bit on the slippery side. To keep mine looking flawless, I slapped on a clear, grippy body wrap from gadgetshieldz. Now it feels secure in my hand, looks fresh, and avoids scratches like a ninja dodges shuriken. #Pixel2XLLegend #ProtectedLikeABoss
the front facing speakers was the biggest seller. No other phone matches the stereo sound quality of the 2 just because the modern paradigm is now just more screen real-estate.
Currently using pixel 3 as my DD. Google at its peak!
Definitely!
I started with the 3a and it was god tier tbh
I liked that phone a lot. Loved that purplish with the highlighter yellow power button.
I miss my 2XL panda. Even tho I switched to iPhone about 5 years ago I’m tempted to buy a 2XL again just simply because it was my fav phone ever. I’ve scouted them on eBay from reputable sellers. Can buy a refurbished or there is still even brand new unopened. Don’t care that it hasent got the best chip the best screen ect. It does the job for what I need.
The display is far better than any pixels today
Using pixel 7 for 11 months and my phone is just getting better everyday
Still my favorite of all time
Definitely!
Wow man hard to believe my KEYᵒⁿᵉ came out earlier this same year, or how my "budget" pixel 6a has an even bigger screen than the "flagship" - not even THAT long ago 😯 😅
Not that long ago!
watching this video on same 2xl
Nice!
Using pixel 2 xl it's beast 💯
I still have my 6. I love it. 😂
They did a lot over the course of the year to make the 6 better.
I love the old google phones because it did not have that weird bulky thing that holds the camera
You can like something long ago and not like them today. Perceptions and opinions change.
Just curious - Can you not revert back to the previous OS? If by chance one opts to upgrade to Android 11 and feels like it's really not (as you alleged to) optimized for a particular device, can you not downgrade back to Android 10?
You can, just takes a bit of effort, they don't make it easy and you could brick your phone, I believe.
memories
Definitely!
I lost my new phone, so going back to Pixel 2 XL. Which stock Android version you recommend more? I was using it for 4+ years with Android 9. Do you think 10 or 11 are better than 9?
I broke my phone screen and had to move from Android 14 to 11 on my backup phone i.e. pixel 2 xl! Honestly Android 11 is still solid so you should upgrade. Battery life would probably be bad which is ok.
@@mahipaljain3208 is the performance better than Android 10?
google not sell googlepixel on my country , and if we buy from outside we have to pay tax 50 % from device price or we cannot acces connection here lol , i have great pixel 4a for $170 but one Mont later broke my lcd and cost me $150 but then i use buy 2xl for $120 love it , those 2xl in future maintenance sparepart are cheap like lcd $30 battery $20 i want to keep my 2xl to forever ( till can't be used ) , Im broke now so that price mean to me , if im rich someday i want to buy most new google phone in that day
Pixel 2 XL for now 2023 is still worth it or not
I thought exactly the same about my Pixel 2. Irritates me when people say apple devices work better when they are older, this is simply not true, esepcially when it comes to pixel devices. My older apple devices perfrom much worse. I will probably flash pixel expereince rom soon though just so i can have android 13.
WHY MMS NOT WORLING IN GOOGLE PIXEL 2XL
Just pulled out my 2xl today to see if I could recover an old recording from my relatives that was unrecoverable from my pixel 4a. Still a sweet looking phone that just oozes quality. AT&T forced me to replace this device which I think is a crime. All American carriers should support all old technology. Other countries do. Anyway, file was found and now lives on UA-cam where I and my relatives can always access it.
That's great! ATT should support this phone. They pulled that nonsense with the original XL and I dealt with it, because their claim was half correct, but the 2XL can support VoLTE.
panda design was amazing
Yeah, don't know why they went away from it!
Yep... google was way ahead in the camera back then.
Definitely!
Watching in Google Pixel 2 XL 😅
Still a really nice display!
How's the battery?
@@ashbymohbattery replaced twice, screen replaced once by Google for burn in, second time I cracked it when I was riding a motorcycle so two new screens, still going strong
For drowned out and washed out colour, read, real natural colour. Not unnatural saturated colour. ..Sorry Steve
Not necessarily, reds can be vibrant in real life, I'm staring at my gorgeous Viva Magenta Moto Razr right now. There is a way to make the colors as poppy as real life without seeming dull.
@@StevealiciousTech But that's really my point Steve, colours aren't always poppy in real life.
