Hi there! Tomorrow I will receive a new pixel 3 XL, so it will be on Android 9. Now I have Pixel og on Nougat with well-working root etc, and I know that there are some difficulties when rooting Android 10. So I have a question: what Android version is better and well-optimised for Pixel 3 XL? I heard that 3 XL works worse on newer system versions because of Google in some reviews. Is this true? What about the battery life and camera quality? On what Android are they better?

Hi Guys
Got myself pixel 2 xl
just wondering on the ota updates ,other then security patches I know 2xl updates run through the end 2020.
But will some of those updates that pixel 4 has trickle-down to the 2 or 3 pixel ?
obviously stuck with the hardware you have, but will the older models get the new smarter Google Assistant or improved camera features ?
thanks in advanced
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 ?
Hi,
There's been a hype out there for Pixel Experience ROMs that's being developed for non-Pixel devices. Today my brother was saying about Pixel Experience being developed for Pixel 2 XL devices (reference).
It's still in beta and no stable releases yet. (stable seems to be planned for March). Have anyone here tried Pixel Experience ROM for Pixel 2 XL yet? If yes, what's added additionally apart from the stock ROM and is it really worth moving to Pixel Experience from stock, if stable version of Pixel Experience is released?
Thanks,
Gokul.
Hi all,
Really enjoying using the Pixel XL.
Was wondering if the Original Quality Google Photos is working on non stock roms such as Lineage OS?
Was hoping to jump onto Android 11 but still getting the awesome Google Photos upload feature?
Thanks!

I recently picked up a pre-owned OG Pixel (did had OG Pixel XL - Google Ed. before, sold it) and managed to root it ("PVT" build) after unlocking bootloader (whew) and got LOS 17.1 installed (Android 10) - not running Magisk (yet ... might not need to) According to Play Store, device status is not certified but still - Google Photos recognized mine as Pixel 3 now. "You're backing up in Original quality, which is free & unlimited for Pixel 3 until Feb 1, 2022"
I have another one, Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite running a custom rom, device status is certified and Google Photos "Backing up in Storage saver from Pixel is free and unlimited"
Same with me.
Pixel XL (original owner), and under photos/manage storage it states, "you're backing up in original quality, which is free& unlimited for pixel 3 until Feb 1 2022".
Device runs LOS with magisk.
I assume this is new since 6/1, but don't know for sure.
Hi what is the last update for pixel 6 pro? No updates anymore maybe 30x zoom system UI like pixel 7 pro?
8.8 is the version on that's being rolled out. I have it on my 6 pro
Google is still rolling out the Camera 8.8 update to Pixel 6/Pro
The latest update to Google Camera brings faster Night Sight to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but version 8.8 is not yet widely available...
