I'd buy 2 if I could. When you get on XDA youll always see the flood of problems more so then people saying g how great any device is.
Now with Reddit, it's more prevalent to see the complaints
Great phone. Coming from note 7. Glad my note 7 was recalled, love this phone. Super fast, no lag.

Yes
I don't know if I would. I kind of miss my OnePlus 3, and now that the OnePlus 3T is coming...

I liked all of the customization of the stock OS. I liked that I could use capacitive navigation buttons or on screen buttons. The design of the OnePlus 3 is beautiful to me also. It just gave me more joy while using and it. The Pixel is fast and the screen is better but that's about it, imo.

Ditto. The speed and battery outweighs the stuff that it's missing (water resistant, speaker, microsdcard).
Absolutely.
Definitely.

For your money you will get a snappy phone that's comfortable to hold (the chin has a purpose) , looks great, the software is the best out there. It is Google at its very best. Also the camera is the best on a phone and the addition of unlimited storage means constant photos and 4k video!
The battery life is very solid and the phone does not crash, slow down or do anything peculiar. The screen is also very nice and updates are provided as soon as they are available.
No other phone offers this same package. Also Chinese phones are snooping on us!
Huge oneplus 3 fan here chiming in. Do I miss my OP3, yes. What I don't miss is how buggy the software could be. I miss the size and I honestly think the camera was a bit better (not impressed with the pixel camera, seems very grainy) but the big thing is the software. This phone if flawless. I might consider dropping down to a pixel and ditch the XL.
I'd absolutely buy the Pixel XL again, no questions asked.
Absolutely! This is the best phone I have ever had.
I also have the oneplus 3.
Thanks for all your input guys much appreciated

Yes I forgot about the battery, when you dont have to charge it thru the day. My note 7 had horrible battery life. The Pixel XL will go 18 hours for me and I am using it all day long. Awesomeness.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on these forums. Currently on my Nexus 6P but looking to upgrade.
I've loved the use of stock & clean android. As well as regular updates and a decent camera. I'm interested in the pixel 2 XL but have seen a lot of bad press about issues.
What is the general consensus on the phone? Would the OnePlus give me a similar android experience? It's supposed to be getting a decent camera too and cost £499. Was interested in people's views!
Cheers!
The only real difference is if you want a really good rom community or if camera is more important.
It's simple If you want better camera with some rom support or root. Get the google 2xl..if you want rom support then go one plus 6

There's a thread on this somewhere on XDA if I'm not mistaken. The opinions I've seen are kinda like the ol Ford vs Chevy debate back in my day. The best summation I can give would be.....
If you want fast, regular security updates and arguably the best camera out there, then the P2XL is the call.
If you want more development, larger ram capacity, and an OK-good camera, then the OP6 is what your looking for.
Again, this is a very short synopsis

Along with horrible QC, the avg replacement device being 4 (not for blue shift either) lol(I'm on replacement #8). It's no longer the best camera. Stereo speakers are pretty meh, stock has it's pros but a crap ton of cons. Op gets fast updates as well lol, squeeze google assistant isn't a deal breaker. Google photos is like 3.00 a month for 100gb, the "free" isn't that impressive. No doubt pixel 2 xl isn't the obvious choice anymore lol. Also OP is 300.00 less lol and better build quality.

Well I bought 1 and I'm happy, there's blue shift but hopefully not so much. To me it's the best on HDR and that's why I bought it too. Well the best stereo speakersare those from ipx and i8p , and to me those on pixel are ok . Fast updates it's on the same week to me. Squeeze isn't a deal breaker but a nice feature. No Google photos are free and the full quality. Don't get me wrong I got op5t too,
But to me the pixel it's much "smarter" then the others mobiles
12 mp photos are free from any phone anyway, never quite understood this "benefit" with the pixel phones.

Interesting to see some of these replies! Pretty much the debate I'm having in my head haha. I love my Nexus as it's as great now as it was on day one... No bloatware and up until Oreo 8.1 fast updates.
I think for me the camera is hugely important. If one plus can release a camera that is better than the pixel 2 XL ... Then that may do it for me! Good to here they have fast(ish) updates too. Rumours are OnePlus 6 will have a triple digit dxomark I think!
Im the guy who keep buying a new phone in 2 or 3 months, I switched back and forth from any flagahips on the martket but there is always a few little things that keep bothering me to change a new phone until i got pixel 2 xl last week and its the perfect one.
Oneplus 5
Oneplus 5t
Iphone 8 plus
Note 8
iPhone X
Pixel 2
Pixel 2 XL now
All of the above pros for the Pixel XL 2... it's a gold mine of goodies!
both phones are great, but the pixel 2 XL is definitely a bit better in several ways
Loved my Nexus 6p and if it wasn't for the battery issues I'd probably still have it however I do really like the pixel. I don't really see the issues that have been reported. If you can afford both phones then the pixel is the one for me

Dxo mark rating doesn't really mean that much it is same as running a performance benchmarks like antutu etc
See, pixel has only one camera and still scored the highest but all these phones s9+ p20pro have 2 or 3 camera henceforth the triple digit figures
If pixel had secondary camera such as telephoto then it would also had a 100+ score
If you want to compare the dxo mark ratings then compare the main lens rating on their site
P20 pro vs pixel 2xl on youtube evry video in the end says they would go with pixel because it is consistent

I think the same and all the videos that I saw the HDR it's always better on pixel 2,
Better portrait on the market
Better HDR on the market
2nd or 3rd on low light, even though I still think pixel got it better.
Better color accuracy
Etc etc
The only one thing that the pixel camera doesn't do it better, it's the zoom , well that's normal with only one camera
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------
I use to change roms every week but now I do prefer stability and security.
One plus got 8.1 and I'm already on 9.0 that's a huge difference, and Will be always like that.
If oneplus 6 support VZW...bye bye Pixel 2 XL. The oneplus is a quality, low profile/thin bezel phone with great dev support from their company and online on XDA. They won't say if they are going to support VZW yet, but heard they are looking for a US partner in the coming 6 months. The Pixel 2 XL is so bulky, thick top/bottom space, and the features of the OS are lagging behind a few things that the OnePlus Beta 5T phone currently has that the 6 will have baked in, like fling/nonav bar gestures like iPhone. They've had it for months in the beta, all the apps are scaled to use the screen space without the bar...not such thing in the standard Android/Pixel OS builds, and then, not done at all or very well. I know devs try their best, but it isn't proper.
Only thing about OnePlus is the camera, next one should be much better hopefully. But then again, unless it works on Verizon...doesn't really matter, and my choices are limited for modding/bootloader unlocking etc..to the Google phone really, or HTC.
Thanks very much for all the advise guys! Great to see arguments for both phones haha!
Currently can get the Pixel 2 XL for £600 from carphone warehouse. The OnePlus 6 is likely to be £500.
I think the make or break for me is going to be the camera. I'll wait and see what the camera is when the OnePlus 6 is officially announced on 16th may. If the camera is better that may sway it for me, if not I'll get the pixel 2 XL!
I have noticed that now in the settings app, the Squeeze function demo intro now features a different phone than the Pixel 2 XL, which seems to have almost no bezels and not even a notch!
When I was using that feature in Oreo, the phone resembled the Pixel 2 XL much more than now.
Could this be an hint by Google for their new phones coming soon?

Haven't you been following the conspiracy theories? It's the super secret pixel ultra that Google plans to release after using the leaked 3xl devices as a joke.
/Sarcasm
Haha, we all have been duped...
Same on the Pixel 2, so don't read anything into it.
has any info leaked out on who is making the screens for the pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl? last year wasn't it LG for the XL and Samsung for the pixel 2? does that trend continue this year? I know LG needs to step up their game on many fronts for the mobile displays, especially OLED tech, but wondering if Samsung is making either display for the Pixels. the power consumption for Samsung OLED is great and less likely to burn in.
Lg again... Apparently
Where do you get apparently from? Many reasons Google should go for Samsung on the XL version but corporations and their pennies. If I had image retention right after I bought the phone, especially not using high brightness often, I would not be a returning customer. LG LCDs apparently are very bad too. You should see the ridiculous burn in and image retention on the V20. That kind of IR is hard to do with LCD but apparently LG aced it.

Nobody does tbh, but looks like pixel 2 and 3 are exact same sizes, so my bet is definitely on LG again, posted a link for u, dont take anything for granted
I honestly don't think Samsung has time right now to build another screen for another phone. They are building s9, s9+, note 9 and all the iPhone screens right now. I'm not sure they can throw a pixel device into the mix now. I'd be willing to bet they are behind right now on screens

Samsung is an absolutely super mega insanely massive company. I'm sure they have the resources to make screens for their phones plus many others.
techradar was one site that reported that the pixel 3xl would have an lg screen. That is an old rumor, haven't heard otherwise though. I'm betting it will be a good one who ever makes it. We'll know soon.

its going to have to be good after last year lol
They said in the event that the screen would self-optimize for better viewing at all angles. Some other thing they said about it too. Hoping that means the screen will be a lot better than the 2 xl.
The Verge confirms it has a diamond PenTile subpixel arrangement. No word on manufacturer yet.

Interesting that Anandtech has the screens listed as AMOLED on the small one and P-OLED on the large one. This seems like last year but I'm wondering if Anandtech didn't just assume this.

CNET had Iaz ask about this and they did not specify who made the display. The guy actually said it's made by Google (yeah Right)

You are correct. The smaller pixel 3 does not have the shift. It funny how everyone who says the PXL3 does not have the shift is not angling the phone while on a screen with a white background so you can check the blue shift !! Thats the most telling way to see the blue.
There was no shift so how do you know there's still a problem?

Hello guys hope you are doing well. Guys I need your help. I'm looking for phone, just for my secondary to be honest. But I'm in a difficult situation to decide between pixel 2 xl or s8+. Both are in the same price range in used markets in my country. But pixel has been my dream phone since it was released. My main consideration is the camera and display. Of course, the pixel camera is the winner, but how about the display?
How it compares to Samsung oled? Any major issues with pixel 2 display? I read that it has something called blueish color, is that true?
Is there any other problem that maybe I need to pay attention to?
Thanks...
The display seems to have two issues. The first and best known is blue shift, where turning the display at extreme angles to sight causes the screen color to take on a distinct blue hue. This particular concern, despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about it, is I feel overblown; all OLED screens have blue shift to a degree. The second concern is black crush, where dark gray elements of a picture are rendered as black. I personally haven't noticed this particular issue, but I'm sure it's there. I'm also sure I'm not going to worry about it.
If the screen is more important to you than the camera, get the S8 as it has the superior screen. Otherwise get the P2XL.
Everything above said is correct! However i have never looked at my display from an angle so the blue tint issue is not there for me.
Black crush and smearing is the only thing i feel an issue but thats only at very low brightness.
If you ask me go for 2xl as it is fast,fluid, has a great camera and guaranteed Android 11 update. You will love the pixel experience.

Thanks for the answer. How old your phone is? And how about screen burn in? Is it something I have to worry about because the nature of OLED displays? I personally never have OLED phone so I don't know what to expect for long term usage.

I just passed the 2-year mark and no burn in issues. However, I baby my devices, and burn in is a bit setting dependent. Set brightness to 100% and burn in will develop over the space of a year, as it did on my Nexus 6 when my roommate used it. I had to use an AMOLED screen fix utility to lessen the intensity of the burn in, but even today the navigation buttons of the N6 are noticeable as dark spots on a white background.
TL;DR: After two years, no issues, but burn in is something to keep an eye on.

Having owned both I can easily say this is the better phone. If consistent performance is a deal breaker for you, this phone will make you much happier. The camera also blows the s8 out of the water. The display on mine is actually really good. It's kind of a lotto unfortunately. The earlier manufactured ones were much worse however so if you can check that at well might be beneficial for you.
I've owned S7 edge for one year and then I jumped to Pixel 2 XL, which I have been using for 2 years. After updating it to Android 10 it feels like I have a new phone in my hands, plenty of new things combined with cstark's camera mod we get Astrophotography mode, which is superb.
Screen has never been a major issue for me, anyway choosing saturated colors on pixel settings is mandatory for me.
With pixel 2 xl, you get a far better camera and dazzling fast smartphone. This is definitely the choice for me.

Thanks for all the information, it's really helpful. I think now I can finally make a decision.

Mine is an early October 2017, 1st release 2 XLs and like others have said, I've taken care of it and it has served me extremely well... Well enough in fact that I skipped the 3 XL and the 4 XL and will wait for the 5 XL (or whatever is next in the Pixel lineup).
My battery is still great, speakers still loud and crisp, buttons still snappy, and if I wasn't missing the new development that comes with a new device, I'd probably run the 2 XL until it died.
You. Won't. Be. Disappointed.
Be sure to give us a full report in this thread, of your decision and experience with whichever device you choose!
