Google Pixel 2 XL long-term review

03 January 2018
This long-term review is going to take a deeper dive into what it’s like to actually live with the Pixel 2 XL, as the main and only phone, for a few weeks (three, to be precise). We’ll try to answer the questions you might have about the device, regarding things that aren’t covered in our proper review. For example, can you actually get used to that screen? Learn to enjoy it even? Is the Pixel 2 XL a huge improvement over its predecessor? Does it really take such amazing pictures? (OK, so you probably know the answer to the last one). We’ll also cover how easy it is to set up and let you know about any niggles and issues we’ve encountered in day to day use. Let’s jump in and find out if the Pixel 2 XL really is worth your hard earned cash.

      Dear Google, please choose glass or metal back.
      Both together make phone ugly.

        This ideas ar great, showing the long term use if a device through daily scenarios.

        Regarding the Pixel... it may have have all the better and smooth experience but in a trend of 18:9 18.5:9 or even a 19.5 it's way back and it's a major setback. That's a imersive experience, coming back to the good old 16:9 wouldn't cut it anymore

          The very fact that gsmarena had to address and acknowledge so many of the problems and issues in this review reported by owners about the pixel 2XL is reason enough not to buy for $1300 here in Canada... I'll wait for the oneplus6....

            This kind of articles are a fantastic idea. I wish you had done one for the LG G4 before I bought that dud.

            I still wish Google would try to follow Samsung's way instead of Apple's way, but that is the way it is nowadays.
