mideastbeast Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Ugh the display is soooo disappointing. Erica knows her stuff with displays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JjbMT_x6CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Specs wise it is about as good as the XL right? Less excitement comes from the smaller size? I am leaning towards the 2 versus the XL just because i like being right around the nexus 5x size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flompholph Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I like the pixel 2 (no XL). The only problem I has was an issue with calling in US Cellular area on Project Fi but other that not bad and that is not really phone related. It is nice and small so it is lightweight.

I am leaning towards the 2 versus the XL just because i like being right around the nexus 5x size. All of the core specs are identical except for the size-dependent ones (battery, display size, resolution) I think a lot of the hype for the 2 XL vs the 2 is how much better the design of the Pixel 2 XL is as opposed to the regular Pixel 2... obviously talking about bezels and the curved display. You can't go wrong with the smaller Pixel, it has all the same features as the 2 XL and a better (Samsung) display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
though Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Appears the Pix 2 XL is very problematic :\ https://plus.google.com/117395357657144576506/posts/c2kyL2k4gk6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitwatch889 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just got the devices myself and there is noticably blue tint at angle, and it definitely does crush the black in low light setting after about 35% and less. Other than that. None of the grain, and burn as others have experienced yet. I want to wait and see if the screen production improves before I contemplate RMA. As none of the other issues with speaker or call quality over the network. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imex99 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Loving my pixel 2 xl, yes blue tint at an angle but not an issue for me.Awesome phone, super quick!Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Got mine yesterday and have to RMA it. I'll be out of town for 2 weeks so I may just return it and order it again when QC issues are sorted out. Graininess isn't bad, and the blue tint is only bad when it's on my desk. But I have a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, a pulsing high pitched noise in the earpiece only while on a call (including Hangouts) which seems to be synced with wifi traffic on 5 ghz, awful wifi handoffs (it drops the AP and won't see it again for over a minute even with active scanning), and the phone won't use any GLONASS satellites, so location accuracy takes a hit (7 vs 16 satellites total on my Pixel 1 XL). I do like the way it feels though, it has a nice weight and shape, and the camera is nice. It's a bit snappier than my Pixel XL.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_vag Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yikes, my phone is arriving tomorrow. How sure are we that my Pixel 1 sim from Sprint won't work in Pixel 2? Any hope of picking up the sim at your local friendly sprint store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imex99 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Please let us know how radio performance is in comparison to your current device/usual locations.Picked up there pixel 2 xl as stated.... Came from the essential phone and v30.Had the essential phone for about a month and a half and the v30 for a week.Really liked both phones hardware, both had software issues....The essential phone is a beautiful phone and feels great in the hands. Essential has been pushing many updates out and states Oreo coming soon and the phone has improved immensely from release. The camera is being updated often and is improving.The v30 is an awesome phone and works great when issues with signal on Sprint. Front myself and a few others we had some signal issues and believe it to just be radio/software issues the should be correctable via an update.I didn't feel like keeping a device waiting for the first update when the Pixel 2 xl was coming out because that's a lot of money to wait for an update.I decided to return the v30 and keep my preorder of the 2 xl and no regrets at all. Yes, have some blue at an angel but in my day to day, it doesn't really affect me. I received a unit with no screen issues and I'm very happy. I'm getting better signal over both phone and it's the smoothest device I've used (Android/iOS/) in a long time.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk I had the 2 XL and ended up returning it and getting a smaller 2. Same performance (better RF on Verizon by 4-8 dBm in a number of low signal places). No issues with the OLED like I had on the 2 XL and a slightly more manageable for factor (yes the bezels are a little much). I like it though. I was able to get it for $550 (Best Buy had a sale) vs the $850 for the XL. The XL is definitely not worth $300 more than the smaller 2. Probably not even worth the $200 premium.
