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.Read full review

Many people including me have had issues with dropped calls or calls where my voice can be heard but I cannot hear the person I call to. It does not matter which carirer. I reset the network to LTE/CDMA instead of global and turned off bluetooth and data saver, I had hoped this wil solve the prpoblem. Others have tried these measures with mixed success. If you google the problem you will see that it was a nightmare before better revised software became available. I had to return it. Would not work with Google Fi.

If you are an Android fan and have been troubled with slow response of Samsung, HTC, LG devices that are a year or two old (I came from a Note 4 and HTC One M8), then this is the phone you want. I love the smoothness in performance of the iPhones prefer Android for customization flexibility. Though not on par with the competition at the time of writing this review in June 2018, it is the best bang for the buck. Smooth app performance, extremely good ergonomics (despite a rather large form factor of the Pixel XL), good display (not as vivid as the Samsung note but better than everything else). Love the finger print reader on the back and wonder why on earth was it not put there to begin with for all the other phones so far .. better late than never I guess. Thought that lack of expandable storage would be an issue but Google photos offering unlimited storage when using this device eliminates the need for a micro SD card altogether. There are some challenges though .. but they are mostly with software at Android end than the phone itself. The native email app is Gmail and does not support encrypted Office 365 emails, Calendar does not synch either. But there are workarounds with other apps. So 8 out of 10 there. Get it if you are on a budget or are fed-up with other android devices plagued with performance issues after a 12-18 months in service .. Read full review

I adore this Google Pixel XL. I got this one for under $200. The features are extremely impressive and the memory even more so. The camera is supposed to take great pics but I've never been much of a picture taker. The USB-C charger port is a wonderful upgrade from the old Android chargers. The battery life could be better. I keep it on battery saver mode so that it can get me through half of the day. The picture in picture features are a bit of a nuisance but you can dump it in the settings. I imagine TV junkies might really like it, though. Going from a ZTE ZMAX PRO to this phone has been a breath of fresh air without breaking the bank.

The phone is fantastic. It runs smoothly with a lot of apps running at the same time, it takes great pictures and videos (my hand is generally shaky and the photos and videos are clear, smooth and look professional), and the battery lasts almost 2 full days even when I use it very frequently. I see this phone as being a multi-purpose device, and it does a great job for each of its purposes. I also like the feature to eliminate the blue light on the screen whenever you want (including on a timed schedule) to improve your sleep. Overall, this phone exceeded my expectations and I think it will exceed yours as well (unless you have the Pixel 3 XL).
