I just recently bend my Pixel 2 XL 128GB in half. It was a bit too easy to do so I tossed it in the trash. Last week I picked up a Essentials PH-1 and I'm kicking myself for not getting this phone before hand rather wasting my money on a Pixel 2 XL. The Pixel 2 XL has a strange effect if you look at the screen with any slight tilt, it's like a polarization problem and you get a blue haze look to it. It is very annoying. The speed was fine and the camera was great but the Essential is almost just as good and the hardware feels premium from top to bottom unlike the Google Pixel 2. As for the screen on the Essential... night an day difference from the Pixel 2 XL. I really enjoy hold and looking at this phone.
Save your money and go get a used Essential PH-1 for just $220 dollars or a new one for $400 to $460 depending on the color you choose. Best phone I have ever put in my hands.

Using Pixel 2XL for last 5 months.
Was an iphone user for last 5 years changed to Pixel cause of camera features but found the Android 9 same as smooth as IOS 12 if not better.
Was thinking of buying the Samsung S9+ but the Smooth OS turned the game for me.
Also the Sudden discount in Pixel2XL played my mind into buying it.
An apple device containing Potrait mode is still costlier than Pixel 2XL.
Pros :
1)Best Android OS user interface.
2) If not the Best Camera. Such a pure sight camera, beats High contrast Apple & Samsung cameras any time of the day.
3) The Night site Mode is Just WOW.
4) Unlimited Google Photo store for next 3 years.(Apple should learn from this 5GB icloud is nothing.)
5) I am not an heavy gamer so battery lasts more than a day with me with 4G on whole time but about 18-19 hours with Wifi connected.
6)Apps run smoothly as it runs in IOS.
7)No Stupid themes or skins to slow the phone down.
8)Gets Android updates easily. (Still Apple is better at this as they provide update untill 5 years, Google would do untill 3 years).
9) Portait mode with Single Cam is so SMARTer than Apple & Samsung.
10)Also premium looks way better than One Plus devices.
11) No lags untill now.
12) Trust me android 9 is smarter than IOS 12.
Cons
1) Display good but not top notch at this PRICE range.
2) Some things like that Apple book, Apple Pass etc feature missing in Android. Google should try to use that as it really become handly. You can store all ID cards soft copies without any trouble to find them over & over again.
3)IOS is much more user friendlier.(Depending upon how u use for phone.)
4)App syc with device still not at IOS level.
5) Screen touch quality is way worse than an Iphone 6.
In Short I m a Happy user, only migrated from Apple due to higher price for almost similar or less features.
Trust me the Camera in this device is just WOW.
I dnt trust the DXO mark scores for this device is much better. Iphone XR camera is worse than this.
Buy this you wnt regret. Except TOP shot it has all the Pixel 3Xl's rear cam features.

Happy, 10 Jan 2019Pixel 2 XL or Samsung S9 Plus which phone should I chooseDoubt there is much competition between these two except for headphone jack. Go for pixel. Samsung is using it's power nowadays to sell phones as they give very late updates because they want to sell new models. Not the case with pixel.
Also you get smoother experience, better camera and speaker and yes amazing battery life

Awesome device. Previous Oneplus 3T user here. Dabbled a lot between OP 6T and Pixel2XL. Finally settled on this one and don't regret one bit. Android experience is just AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!!
Just go for it guys. I won't say Oneplus is a bad phone but the software on this one is just crazy smooth. Far exceeded my expectations.

pushpa patil, 15 Dec 2018 Xl fell on its own. I registered a complaint with Goggle S... moreMy brothers oneplus 6 fell and cracked and stopped working... They didn't give any replacement... Similar amount of 10k was charged to get the display replaced... Well thankfully its 10k, if it was apple you would've had to say good bye to your phone... Their display replacement charges in India are like really high...

Xl fell on its own. I registered a complaint with Goggle Support. They picked up my phone on 05.12.2018 & till date I am trying to resolve the issue. My phone is given 2 years warranty. I think they have all fake policies for warranty. I asked them about the solution, they said they need to open the device. I told them if such thing has raised in just 3 days time, I do not want this device to be repaired. I need replacement, for which they denied and on top of it they said there is no warranty for the phone as there is a scratch on the back panel, hence this is called Physical / Cosmetic damage. Instead, they sent me an estimate for approx INR 10717/- I asked them for Service Deny Letter which they are mum about it. Google is a hopeless in service. I have had a worst experience.
An esteemed company like Google can play such cheap tricks to deny warranty for 3 days old phone. I am shocked with their approach and service. They are just looting customers under false advertisement. They say the Warranty is for 2 years.And they some how deny/reject the liability. May be they have different policies for US people and Indian User. I have been a victim of their false warranty commitment.
I will never ever recommend Google to anyone. Don't buy Google phones they are not worth. By paying money you are buying a headache.

Also Google has at home services in India.. Find googles helpline number and call them.. They will send an executive to your place to solve the issue...
