I never could bring myself to get a 6P or Pixel. I feel like I have been waiting all this time, JUST for this phone! I hope it won't disappoint.
What do you all think?
I'm with you. Upgrading from my N6 too. Was going to get the Pixel XL last year but couldn't pull the trigger at that price with those bezels, no waterproofing, etc.
me too (i spend all my saving for this year )
i order my pixel 2 xl 64 black
to replace my n6 64g
running Oreo (crDroid V4)
no, i did that also
I had fun with the Nexus6p and Pixel XL between the Nexus6 and the Pixel XL 2...
Same here... Upgrading my Nexus 6 to the Pixel 2 XL. Never got a 6P or Pixel.

Same here, for all the same reasons. N6 is starting to slow down and battery isn't as good as it once was. It lasted longer than any other phone I've ever had though
I'm upgrading from Nexus 6.
I am getting Pixel XL 2 128 GB and I plan on using it up to the last security update (3 years)

I'm getting a P2XL, but I feel like I'm still waiting for the perfect phone. If I didnt have to get stuck with TouchWiz I would say the S8+ would be it.
Went from galaxy nexus to nexus 5 to nexus 6 then to 6P then skipped the first pixel. So i also has high hopes for this year
But I learned with my 6P that 128gb of storage isnt quite going to cut it so very disappointed the XL 2 doesnt have a 256gb option.
But other than that it ticks all the boxes and then some for me....in still debating it lol.

You'll probably get it knowing your track record!
Currently have the Nexus 6 and upgrading to the Pixel 2 xl. It was between that or the v30. Want a phone with good development don't know if the v30 will have an unlockable bootloader maybe only the unlocked version. The nexus 6 has been so good to me that haven't had a reason to upgrade. Its still kind of difficult to let it go since the phone works perfect. Maybe the battery has a little less capacity. Other than that, Shamu will be missed.

I went from Nexus 5 to The original Pixel xl. Was looking hard at the Nexus 6P. Now the new Pixel 2 XL.
I just put my Nexus 6 up for sale. It was my daily driver for 2+ years. It had every ROM known to man at one time. I got an XL nut the screen was not big enough for me. The N6 spoiled me.
I'm daily driving a Note 8 right now but I'm looking forward to the 2 XL.
Hehe.. yeah i had the orig xl verizon version.. depixled when i got it...bit had to rma.. received 7.1.1 on replacement.. put it on swappa same day.. went back to my tried and true N6... I just hope the 2 xl stacks up to this phone on quality and dev support

I tried the pixel and had charging problems so I returned it like the phone though. Just ordered the xl2. If there are any kind of problems with this phone illl return it and go back to a iphone. As frustrating as iPhones are to use I'll at least have something that works properly
I'm coming from a N6 too... Though not because I didn't wanna upgrade sooner!
Yes, I'm upgrading from a Nexus 6 to a Pixel 2 XL. Haven't decided which color to get thought.
Great to see a lot of Nexus6 and Nexus6p owners onboard for this exciting Pixel XL 2! Rock on
Hello! I currently have a Verizon (bootloader locked) Pixel XL 128GB and am on the fence of trading this in for an unlocked Pixel 2 (not XL) 64GB. I believe I can fully utilize the $100 store credit and that home mini could be used as gifts for friends/family. In short, my upgrade costs is $115.
So I'm just wondering, is the upgrade worth it? How are people enjoying their phones now? I've read numerous reviews and reasons to switch but this still puts my on the fence. I think the main reason being the resolution downgrade. I love watching movies/tv shows on my XL and it might be the deal breaker.
Let me know what you think and thanks for reading!
Are you going from an XL to a regular pixel 2? You might not like going down in screen size.

Yeah, I was thinking the same but is the processor speedup worth it? I also might consider the Pixel 2 XL.
Go the 2 xl,you won't be disappointed

This is good advice. I have a 2xl and it is awesome. Controls my tv, stereo, lights, home temp, navigates my car, does my christmas shopping, plays music on phone or home or mini or car or denon 5.1 klipsch/polk audio rock & roll system or any of my bluetooth speakers, keeps me up on the news, puts me to sleep, wakes me up, takes very awesome pictures & saves them all, no matter how many I take. I've always been reluctant to buy a new phone because every new release was missing something. The new pixel is a nice investment, not missing anything at least for me.
And insane battery life, I've never had a phone that sleeps for 9 hours and stays over 97%
My 2xl stays at 100% and can easily last me 2 days moderate to heavy use

I went from a Pixel XL to the 2XL then a Note 8 and now the Pixel 2. I chose the 2 over the XL and 2XL because the screen is super nice. As for the Note the camera is just not that good in comparison. The smaller size hasn't bothered me much at all, the screen is crisp, vibrant and readable. Performance wise the Pixel 2 and 2XL win hands down. I would do the trade.
Go for all of the above! ??
Thanks guys I really appreciate the advice! Most likely I'll trade in!
I am currently using the nexus 6p, without issue. Thinking of purchasing the unlocked Pixel 2 XL from google. I am on AT&T. Is it worth while to purchase the pixel 2 xl?
alucke
Yes
You should be able to get some discounts now. Also, many 6P former users are already here!

From a former 6p owner as well, I'd say HELL YEAH! But then again, that's just me :good:
Same here 6P former owner, I'd say say the pixel 2 XL is definitely worth getting.

Yes.
I've had a L - O - T of phones including Moto, HTC, Apple, Samsung, & LG; and the P 2 XL is far and above the best all-around one ever owned.
Just does everything right. Ambient display is a sleeper hit.
came from 6p-oneplus 3t to pixel 2xl. Worth it!
Another 6P owner here, can't speak to anything AT&T since I'm on Verizon (unlocked of course), but the device itself is MORE than worth the switch! Even without a cust rom at the moment!
Just be sure to get the UNLOCKED version! Same price, and if you NEVER unlock it, so what. But if you decide to in a few months, you'll have that option.
Just dew eeet!!
I'm coming from a Nexus 5x and while there are some bugs with the pixel 2 XL I'm confident we will continue to see fixes for them roll out. Once custom ROMs get rolling it'll get even better. In my opinion the negative reviews and small issues with this device are coming from sticklers who think for about 800 bucks everything should be completely perfect; while I understand and sympathize with these people, I think when you compare the pixel 2 XL to other flagships honestly and relatively, it comes out on top if you like a snappy system with plenty of storage, an awesome camera and one of the longest lasting stock batteries of any phone (that I've ever owned). TLR you can always find something wrong if you look hard enough.
Had the 5x and 6p, then the OG Pixel, and now the 2 XL. It's definitely worth the upgrade from the 6p. You'll find the phone is much snappier, the camera is downright impressive, and the overall experience is miles better than the 6P.

And no fear of it bending in half lol
Also coming from the Nexus 6,p and yes the new Pixel 2 rocks! Nexus 6p is still very good device but the pixel 2 xl is better. Plus google is giving 2 year warranty, and at least 3 years for updates!

Dear sirs....!
I'm here to ask if you would recommend me this device, and if you can, I would like to have some questions answered
First: does it feel old in your hand? How is it? Good?
Is it fast enough for everything? Any issue?
I'm coming from an htc 10, I want to switch to an oled display, how is it? Is ambient display good/worth?
Do Google camera mods give better camera performance than stock? Like pixel 2 software ports or s#!t
Would you give it a go or get a u11 / mi mix 2 / pixel 2
I'm interested mainly in camera, display and no lag experience
Thank you very much for your attention sirs
yes
if you have the cash, I'd pick the Pixel 2 Xl over the Pixel XL.
Nope, feature support for devices ends this year as it only has 24 months feature updates. Go for the Pixel 2 or 2 XL.
Based on what you are looking for...
Camera is excellent, though the pixel 2 apparently is even better.
Screen is excellent, big bezels but better than the LG panel on the pixel 2xl. Reportedly. I don't own the p2xl.
Speed is fine.

I thought Pixel 2 has an LG display, but the 2XL has a Samsung display.
Do I have that backwards?
ETA, Pixel 2 made by HTC. Pixel 2 XL made by LG.
Apologies
Yup.

I tell you, I am not impressed with the display.
I'm not much of a photog, so Canberra does not really matter to me.
I recently bought a used Pixel XL, to root and rom, because my daily driver (Moto Z2 Play) does not have much development.
My recent phones, in reverse order were Nexus 6P and Moto X Pure Edition.
All of those poses better displays than this XL. It is not very bright or vibrant. There is no setting to change.
I sure hope the 2 XL has a better screen, because I think that's my next.
I just picked up an XL and I would say it depends on what you get it for and how long do you want to keep it? My moto phone (big mistake, I'll never again buy a Moto) died on me after less then a year and I just need something to keep me going until the Pixel 3 comes out (I unusually wait a few months after release to see how the reviews pan out). So for me it doesn't have to be perfect. I like the screen.
I will mention that this is fairly subjective. I had the Moto 2 Play for a bit and ended up returning it. The display was fuzzier and not as sharp (what you would expect from a 5.5" 1080p display), side by side the Pixel XL (IMHO) has the much better screen.
I come from OnePlus 5 to Pixel XL and no regrets. I received mine yesterday. So far so good!
I have a 6p 32gb for now, thought about upgrading and I don't want to wait for the Pixel 3, so I have 2 options and I want your opinions.
In terms of storage, I don't really need 128gb, 64 is just enough, though the Pixel offer is only for 128
Pixel has better camera, faster updates, water resistant, and dual speakers. Oneplus is cheaper, has a bigger screen with notch ?, newer processor, and better battery life, also 3.5mm jack. So it depends on what you want out of your phone.
Pixel 2 XL. It's going to be updated for 3 years.
For me, the continued updates are very important.
If OP6 supported Verizon, I would move back to them in a second. The devs and support are as good as anybody, and they support bootloader unlocking. They've had some issues with customer support at times, like the cc fraud problem, otherwise, they are posed to continue good success. Camera isn't that big of a deal to me personally if the Pixel is slightly better. The case, near edge less top bottoms and sides make it more comfortable and better looking as well. Loved my 5t.
Would recommend pixel 2 XL.
I was in same dilemma too few weeks back. After looking at colleagues op6 and pixel 2 xl, went with pixel 2 xl. A very hard choice for me as choosing a single sim pixel 2 xl vs dual sim op6 (always favored dual sim before).
For me, I liked the pixel 2 xl display, sound and camera much better than op6. I also got info from colleagues that battery life us better in pixel 2 xl than op6.
I am happy with pixel 2 xl now.

I'm using both and think the Pixel 2 XL is a better daily user. Everyone's opinion is different - depends on hand feel, usability, screen, speed, etc.
The Pixel does it ALL....
Thank you guys
2xl it is

Partly agree with your thought process.
Another thought process is high cost mobile may always outperform low cost mobiles overall. So pixel 2 xl will come out better overall anyway than OP 6 right.
Check out the review of OP 6 whose UI fluidity is worse than pixel 2 xl surprisingly even for me (expected better UI fluidity in OP 6 due to less resolution screen and better processor than pixel 2 XL). Other areas of speed tests do resulted in good in op6 though.

You liked the display no offence the pixel has a inferior display.
Camera smashes the op6 out of the park

<sarcasm>Oh my, chime in on the horrid blue shift and terrible colors of the Pixel 2 XL.</sarcasm>
Better yet, don't. Both issues are totally overrated. If you really think the FHD display of the OP6 with notch is superior to the QHD screen of the P2XL without notch then whatever drugs you are on must be really good.

Hmmm, not sure about inferior or superior spec. But I like the display of pixel 2 xl more than op6 one (not sure it is due to resolution may be, people say 1080p is sufficient but my eyes are demanding more) My s9+ display on other hand feels good than pixel 2 xl though.
I think that Pixel's display is superior to OP6's, Google did a lot lately to improve the colors and reduce the blue tint. I had S8+ and when comparing those two, the amount of blue tint was the same on both. It was visible on Pixel a couple of degrees earlier, but that was pretty much it.
Maybe I am just lucky with my Panda 128GB...
Get the pixel 2 xl coz when the 3 comes out you can trade in the 2 for up to 500$ you'd only be losing a 100$ or so. That's what did i picked a 128 panda used pixel 2 xl in mint conditions off swappa for 570$.
I own both. I'm selling the op6. I told myself I'd never try another option device but bought one anyway. Every opportunity device I've owned has had some odd hardware issue and none of them were the same. Also the UI had some odd behaviour even though it looks stock.
