Had this phone for 3 days now and so far no screen burn in, it does have the blue tint when you move it off center however, Performance wise it's very fast and a solid phone otherwise. What really bugs me is the Dullness of the display. I know it's because Oreo 8.0 and Google intended it to be more true color but it sucks. The LG V30 has the Identical screen and it looks really nice when I checked it out side by side to my Pixel 2 XL, probably because LG is using Android 7.1.2 which does not have the Horrible sRGB color profile. My Nexus 6 Display made by Samsung blows this Display away in every way which is sad for a 3 year old phone. if Oreo 8.1 does not fix this dullness I am done with this phone. Dull Display is a deal breaker for me. the fault is all on me, should have waited longer to make a big phone purchase.

@Google_Fan, Google has provided illimited storage. that's true but the trick is that this illimited storage is for a limited time. i hope i am wrong so it is wise to check and confirm on it.

Man... Google actually had a real chance with Pixel phones. All they have to do is undercut Samsung and Apple and they have a real winner due to their superior software.

Thank you for the detailed review. I'm a regular reader of your site. Regarding pixel 2 xl review, I would like to highlight few things that I beleive the review lacks. As a professional reviewer, I believe the review should get behind things and should have depth which the common man lacks or doesnt have time to look into. Regarding battery life, there is the comment that the talk time of pixel 2 xl is 7hrs short of pixel xl, though it has fared better in other endurances. The question is why and it's here I find the review misleading. The talk time has comedown not due to any inherent shortcoming of the device rather due to Oreo. I've pixel xl and earlier with nougat, the battery usage for 1hr talk time was mere 75mAh, whereas after oreo it has increased to 300mAh!! yes 4 times more and this is what has brought the talk time crashing down. I'm sure if you are to test the previous pixel, you wont be getting the class leading 34hrs, rather it would be much less than the pixel 2 xl. Wonder if an update from google could restore the previous power consumption. The other thing is, since it has an always on screen, was the test done with always on or off? Earlier I remember GSM used to give both ratings to see the difference especially for galaxies, why did it miss for this? Such trivial things are the ones that make a review standout from an average review. Hope you would update this in your forthcoming reviews. Thanks.

loudspeaker for voice calls is way too low.. i dont think i need stereo speakers on a phone.. i have a sony and they have stereo speakers since forever and they are nothing great to have compared to speakers on other phones.. because its just a small phone.. not a soundsystem..
this is my only down point for the pixel.. waiting for the them to test the loudspeaker on the pixel 2

do you know that google pixel 2 and google pixel 2 XL
have feature that you can upload unlimited free google drive cloud
for all your photos and videos.
that mean why you need internal or external memory if you can now just walk and capture.
thank you google for this feature and we hope you continue.

My Pixel XL measures 5.5" diagonally. Where did you see a 6" Pixel XL?

No matter what they are keep saying about this phone, I am still not cancelling my order.
The same they said about the last year Pixel, the best phone still, comparing to "blowing your eyes colours from Samsung".
if you want crappy photos and 1000 apps from Samsung go for them,reality is totally different than the internet,still living with 3no. S8 fans though , and the pictures are still looking awfull(good for the ones used with make-up).

Guessing that you're probably an Apple Fanboy yourself from that one sentence you spit out without even giving a whim of any information - unfortunate.

James, 22 Oct 2017Can't believe how ugly this pixel lime upThey were never pretty to begin with in my opinion. At least the first Pixel had very few issues. This one may need a higher quality screen.
