Giving up Samsung s9 plus for pixel 2 xl

Should I be doing this swap?
Did anybody do the same?
I like pixel's smoothness and animations but I can't say that I am not satisfied with Samsung. It's a solid device with very nice screen, camera and stereo speakers.
It is only that there is a one month old pixel available and I am tempted.
Still enjoy stock Android that's why I am using my Nexus sometimes

Unless it's a super great deal or you really hate the notch, I would wait for the Pixel 3 XL. I always get phones within the 1st month release to enjoy the lastest and greatest for as long as possible. The Pixel 2 XL about to hit 1 year and is a step backwards from the S9 in terms of specs too.

I have swaped from s9 to oneplus 6 than to Pixel 2xl ,Thats The best choice i have done

I'm happy with Pixel 2 XL just because I get updates faster and because I absolutely love stock Android. For the rest, Pixel 2 XL costs too much for what it offers. Not a great audio, not great battery management, display has black crush (and it's not even HDR), the package lacks of USB to connect to a computer and so on. I'd stick to S9 Plus unless I'd prefer stock Android (maybe you can root and install a ROM?).

Pixel 2 XL does better photos

The P2XL camera is phenomenal...

True
Besides if that, i had the s9 plus before the Pixel 2 XL camera is better on Pixel same as software and updates..
S9+ has a very good display better battery life micro SD port...

Pixel 2 XL for sure. I switched from an iPhone 7 Plus and wish I would've done so last year when the 2 XL came out. Pure Android is so nice without all the Samsung crap.

Google Pixel 2 XL/Xiaomi Mi 8

Currently I have Xiaomi Mi 8. But recently there are some interesting offers for second hand Google Pixel 2 XL for about 390.5 USD. Quite confusing because Xiaomi Mi 8 has newer chipset (SD 845), better display (Samsung AMOLED vs LG p-OLED), and larger RAM (6 GB vs 4 GB). But in the other hand Google Pixel 2 XL has much stronger camera, stock Android, it's like a dream device. I'm just a casual user (messenger, social media, browsing, Spotify, taking some photos for Instagram feed) What's your opinion? Should I keep my Xiaomi Mi 8 or goes to second hand Pixel 2 XL?

Its all about personal preference, I had an S8+, then moved to a One Plus 6 and finally settled on a Pixel 2 XL all within a 6 month period
I'd heard so much about the camera that I wanted to try it and I can happily say I am not disappointed at all

Just download a custom Gcam for your phone and keep it. There's plenty for Mi8.
The difference in camera between Chinese phone with Gcam or Pixel is too small to be worth it.
Just look at my photo comparison to make up your mind. It's a cheaper Xiaomi, so your result works be even better.

Haha maybe we have same story. I used Mi5s then my friends bought it, so I bought Mi 8, then I try Mi A2, then I came back to Mi 8. Then these Pixel 2 XL offers come. Indeed it's up to personal preference. I also put concern on second hand device, especially for OLED display and its battery. I already try to search for Pixel 2 XL spare part and it's quite hard to find, in other hand Mi 8 spare part is easy to find, despite quite pricey

Already tried GCam on Mi8 and Mi A2. Yes, it's totally improve photo quality

I would say to buy it at a good price and use it. If you don't like the 2 XL simply resell it.

I have also used many phones recently ( S8, S9, P20 pro, P20, Honor 10, Pixel 1, Pixel 2 etc)
I always had HTC U11 with me as second device and now using Pixel 2 XL as primary device, I have made comparison of photos between them after installing Googel camera 3 ports and result are identical ..some photos in dark lights are even better on HTC U11 because it bring more lights ..Now U11 is underrated and I got almost mint U11 with all accessories for £190 while got mint condition used pixel without accessories for £247
What I like about pixel 2 Xl as compare to U11 is just stock software and quick updates but I have noticed many issues with Pixel 2XL i.e it get heated during intensive tasks i.e when you turn on hotspot while use the phone , it charge very slow with others fast chargers so if you don't have orginal fast charger then it will take ages to fully charge the battery while my U11 was able to charge phone quickly no matter what others spare fast charger I have used ..memory is also issue limited to 64GB, sound from earpiece during voice/internet calling is poor …Pixel 2 xl has bigger battery but screen on time is same or less than U11....Pixel 2XL give 6-6.30 hour screen on time on 4g while U11 was giving 7.00 to 7.30 hours on 4G..I have got few spare type C headphones of U11 but they don't work on pixel 2 xl
Pixel 2 XL Is great device but its far from perfect but people will keep it for stock experience and camera hype and by the way I was using Mi 8 Gcam port for U11 and developer B-S-G own Mi 8 so you get plenty of camera port from him for this device

Google Pixel 2 XL, Zhiyun Smooth 4, and External Microphone

Does anyone know if the above configuration would work OK, or would I have balancing problems?
I already have a Smooth 4 and am currently looking for a new phone. Now that Google supports external microphones on their Pixel series, I'm considering buying the Pixel 2 XL.
Any help or advice would be welcome!

Which pixel phone to get ?

Hello,
I have been using different pixel phones ( Pixel 2, 3, 4) before moving to hauwei phones and now i have sold my huawei and thinking to get back on Pixel but Pixel phone did not change much from last 3 genertaion. I did not like the screen on any Pixel to be honest i.e they all had low brightness and was not as good as samsung/Huawei .Camera, sound, software, battery of Pixel 2 XL is as good as pixel 4/4 XL so i dont see any reason why i should spend more on 3 and 4 when i am getting same experience on cheaper Pixel 2/3a/4a ? Would new pixel 5 or 5S would be any different ? Yes Google software processing is great but why they are not brining latest camera hardware ..apple was behind google in camera department but now they are going head to head if not better . I like onplus software and others specs but camera is not best which is important for me so whats ur opinions ?
