Love the hardware, software and especially the camera, tempted to get one but the large bezel makes me think again. Already used to s8+ thin bezel. Lol.

I've been eyeing on pixel 2 since its launching. They tick all the boxes except for dual sim. Headache.

u all r getting the smaller pixel 2 or the pixel 2 xl? i'm still undecided!!! prefer smaller ones but since not changing phone for a long time.....just worried the pixel 2 will be so outdated later...but pixel 2 xl is like....too huge for one-handed usage but comes with a more 'modern' outlook ....not sure if all apps gonna be 2:1 as standard in near future
*
I was in the dilemma between the 2 like u do but in different matters. I'm actually prefer big screen but what concern me is the oled screen on the xl version, almost once in few days they come out with new found bug / problem. So far what I read was blue tint issue, touch not register on the edges, and burn in issue.

Google Pixel 2 XL screen is quite poor. But it is a better screen than the smaller one.

The Pixel screens are less bright with comparison to Samsung Galaxy and Note series.

The colors are not too accurate and lack punch.

The best phone screen today iPhone X. Best camera Pixel 2. Best features Note 8.

If you can live with a poor screen, get the Pixel 2.

No doubt iPhone X has the best display today, Note 8 has full of useful features, while pixel 2 has the best camera. I quit ios camp since iPhone 5 time and never look back, until the iPhone X display caught my attention.

hit or miss...pixel 2 is much safer, less screen issues, less speaker issue also..just that awfully looking hugebezels...at least make it slightly curved for aesthetic purposes la walao google...
*
True, they can do the bezel so thin on the xl but not the standard pixel.

More than enough if you can manage it every week or 2.
32GB is more than enough for me.

Btw, just placed order for 64GB Pixel 2 XL.

Here's my take on comparing the Pixel 2 XL & Pixel 2 now that i have both in hand.

- Pixel 2 is more ergonomically friendly being held/used in one hand and placing into your pockets compared to the Pixel 2 XL which requires you to do finger acrobatics

- Pixel 2 (2,700 mAh battery) charges much faster than the Pixel 2 XL (3520 mAh battery) easily making it a better choice when wanting to do a quick charge for 15mins when it is low on battery

- Pixel 2 and Pixel XL's battery life are almost the same with one another during my daily use. Both phones are able to squeeze out 8.5 hours of SOT over 1.5 day's usage. In my opinion, the Pixel 2's battery life is truly amazing for its size

- Pixel 2 XL's 6 inch 18:9 aspect ratio screen is a great a screen despite its overblown media/PR P-OLED flaws. However, not all native Android apps support this aspect ratio resulting in black letter boxes appearing at the sides. The Pixel 2's standard 16:9 aspect ratio guarantees full screen coverage/immersiveness

In summary, the Pixel 2 (5 inch) is a highly underrated device and its price-performance ratio heavily rivals the Pixel 2 XL.

At the end of my testing, i've decided that i will keep the Pixel 2 XL as i love large screens at the expense of slightly decreased battery life.

If anyone is interested in my 1 month old Pixel 2 64GB Black for sale (flawless), PM me! biggrin.gif

One question to all sifus here before I pull the trigger. Can the theme be changed to black instead of default white for pixel? The last Google phone I used was nexus 5, lost track already.

Only the notification? I thought changing to pitch black theme to take advantages on the oled screen.

Built in feature no. But u can use substratum and apply dark/black themes. Available for non rooted users as well but u need to buy Andromeda. If you know how to use ADB well, then it shouldnt be an issue.

Glad to know that is a way to do so. Will study on this after my purchase. Thanks.

Is there any other recommendations besides clear coat for the xl? I used both clear and matte version on other phones before, clear feels rubbery while matte spoil the screen clarity.
