Google Pixel 2 XL Smartphones

Feels good to get upgraded from MOTO X (4.7" screen and used for 4 years..phone is still in great condition) to Google Pixel XL 2 (6" screen) and hoping it will last the same..., , Within couple of days updated the phone to Android 9 and problem of seeing blue light (You can refer to any Youtube videos) when you tilde the phone is gone with latest update., , After 24 hours of my regular usage, I'm still left with 30-40% charging (I never charged 100%..think some issue with my charger) and which gives me a big relief but you definitely need to carry the charger along with you if you are out of town for couple of day as they have their new designed charging cable. (I think it's a big drawback as Rapid chargers come with no USB type on one end)., , Phone is quick in response and launches all the apps without any issues..., , Great recommend to buy this phone if you receive in your budget!

This phone is head and shoulders above the original Google Pixel in every respect, Google listened to the critics and stormed back with this new and improved Pixel 2 XL. I love everything about the phone especially the setup time and data transfer aspect. The new Android Oreo OS is the ultimate. Camera is good if not great, I am not a photo enthusiast but do take my fair share. Very sleek and stylis especially in the "black n white" color scheme. I test, use, purchase lots of smartphones, I find all the brands seems comparable including up and comers like Motorola an Asus but Google got this right this time. No dropped calls, clarity is great, the sound system is nice. Overall I'd give it a 10.

After reading reviews concerning the screen burn in issues, I was a little nervous about the pixel 2 xl. I have had it for several weeks and absolutely love the phone. A really nice feature was the migration of all my apps from the old Samsung Note was flawless. I expected my pictures, contacts but not 120 + apps, it all came over with no issues., Another feature I love is the finger print authentication to connect to the phone as well as integration with several of the apps.You do have to be careful about having wet fingers, as the scanner will not recognize it., Fast charging is just that, 30 minutes gets me through 8-10 hours of pretty hard use, you tube, apps, music, etc., Google LENs works on identifying some objects but also works as a great bar code scanner., Love the phone and highly recommend it :)

I have had iPhones, HTC, Samsung Notes - and then finally the Google line of units. I started witht he Nexus 6P, which was my introduction to the "clean" Android OS. I have NEVER looked back. Why other companies continue to put layer upon layer on top of the Kernel now astounds me. Couple that with innovative, fast hardware and actually USEFUL features and now you have the Pixel 2 XL. WHAT A GREAT PHONE. The Android Assistant is SUPERB - it's like comparing Siri to a one year old and Assistant to a College Professor - she can just do....MORE. IN. PLAIN. ENGLISH. Little things like "Can you take a selfie" and BOOM - it's done, in a thoughtful, convenient way. Battery life easily lasts all day under moderate to heavy use, and the camera - well - the camera is by far the best ever designed. EVER. Beautiful low light and superb shots. Every time. So many features I am not going to bore you here - just buy one and let the jealousy of your friends begin.

Love this Pixel 2 XL. I've had a MOTO-X for 3 years and was never thrilled with it. AT&T was slow with OS updates. I had a Galaxy before that and those OS updates came very slow as well. However I am not an Apple guy because it is underfeatured, overrated and over priced. What Apple does do well that I wanted is make good pictures, update their OS on a regular basis, good signal in weak areas. So with Pixel 2 XL I got a fantastic camera with amazing pictures, I get Android updates for 3 years first before everybody else, I got the size that is perfect for me, I got clear sound and using voice command I can send a text message sitting in a noisy basketball crowd. Voice to text is super fast and commands work great. Did in front of a co-worker to show off. He was impressed and said that is the way Siri was suppose to work but it just cannot perform. Who was grinning, I was grinning. So glad I picked this phone, it's expensive but it's worth every dime! I use mine on Consumer Cellular GSM AT&T signal with best number of bars.

The phone will not charge or turn on

It's good but my charger doesn't charge well with any charger... I don't now what to do

My Pixel 2 is one of the ones that has been in the news for screen burn-in on the POLED panel and a blueish tint when you look at the screen at an angle., , POLED is a cheaper form of AMOLED panel because it uses a plastic layer instead of glass. Not sure why Google made the decision to go that route on a phone this expensive. In any case, I noticed burn-in along the navigation bar after less than a year even though I had brightness at 50 percent., , When viewing the screen at a slight angle, there is a blueish hue on the panel. Google acknowledged the problem and supposedly worked out an assembly line fix with LG (the maker of the phone). Apparently phones made before a certain date are affected. Again, unacceptable for a flagship-priced phone., , Note that the smaller Pixel 2 doesn't seem to have the same issues. It was made by HTC, instead of LG.
