Ok so most of us has had our pixels for a few weeks now, do you think it's worth $900. Honest answers please.....
Absolutely. It has everything I want in a phone and has the exact form factor I want it in(I hate edge display and am not a fan of bezel-less deisgns from day to day use). I'm getting a minimum of 3 years of OS updates, 3 years of monthly security updates, chat or phone call support, and unlimited full resolution photo uploads. It's going to take something really magical to come out for me to switch to another device. I thought the 6P would fit the bill for a long term device for me, but that S10 was a throttling POS. Thought the original Pixel would have been a long term phone, but I REALLY missed front facing stereo speakers. Any other phones out there will not be supported over 3 years and I refuse to get burned by a company that drops support on their products again. Is this device perfect out of the box.....no. Then again not one phone is. Most of the issues reported are not anything I notice in day to day use or I have remedied myself( for example using the original Pixel cable for Android Auto stopped the crashes). I love it.
The definition of value is what a willing buyer is prepared to pay to a willing seller.
The seller is definitely willing, duh, so... the answer is that it is worth the price to everyone who bought one without being under duress.
Hardware worth the value? Absolutely not,
but Software worth the value, Yes as @AndrasLOHF said. I agree especially with front-facing speaker. Stock, fast, unlockable bootloader, Unlimited photo storage etc. I have one so I can run stock latest android software this year, and the camera.
as a owner, i'd say its overpriced. if you win the screen lottery its overall a great phone, but its hard to justify it in a pure cost comparison to an iphone 8+ or a galaxy s8+. I just happened to like pure android and the developer community of nexus/pixel phones, so thats the only reason i can justify the price, but i wouldn't recommend it to family or friends unless i knew they were android enthusiasts.
Absolutely for me especially with the trade in... which makes it a more reasonable price!
Like front ? ?, Stock, fast, unlockable bootloader, and unlimited photo storage...
Yes, I think it is worth the asking price... For me it's the only natural progression from my 6P (personally, the best phone I've owned) which includes 3 years of updates /upgrades..

I totally agree with you, pure Android is the reason went ahead and purchased the 2 xl coming from the essential phone. The essential phone is a beautiful phone, now that it has 8.0 I almost hate I purchased the pixel now
Nope, but it's worth $575 which is what I'll cost me after getting $425 back from T-Mobile

Probably not worth $900. None of the phones out are. They all do what your last phone did. Every phone discounts soon after launch. The early adopters pay the high amounts. Samsung BOGO, or savings off the note 8 if you had a note 7. Essential discounted after release. Lg discounted after release. Pixel 2 $375 just to bring it Tmobile. Just wait a month once the phone you want comes out. Tough I know but some of the pixel 2 are already cheaper on swappa then the Google store.
Lucky for me I found a guy selling the pixel 2 xl on craigslist for $700 but I offered him $500 and he text me back a day later asking for $550 ?. Been loving it ever since, currently got my essential phone on eBay and it's up to $450 with a day to go.
Is it worth 900? Everything inside of me says NO however I bought the thing, I love it and I would buy it again if I broke or lost this phone. So I guess money speaks louder than words in this scenario. The software just blows everything else out of the water. Id love to have the Iphone Xs 4k @ 60fps, The LG V30's SD card slot, headphone jack and quad dac but I would still pick the pixel 2 XL over any of those due to the overall experience.
In Switzerland it's 1 109 Dollar, very expensive but i love it so far

+1. That being said, compared to the other phones out there, I don't think $900 is a good value for the phone., especially with all this QC problems As for me, I have this dumb urge to buy the newest tech.
It's not worth its price, and I knew it when I bought it.
I bought it nevertheless, and I'm pretty satisfied. The camera is absolutely great on 8.1 DP2 with HDR+. Magisk also works fine flawlessly.
Everything is smooth and fast, also GPS is working very well. Battery runtime is also great.
The only problem I have is with the BT connection with my car. Media playback doesn't work at all, phone calls work when I switch to airplane mode before turning on BT after starting my car, though.
Overall, I'd buy it again, I assume Google will fix the BT stack eventually.

I think that quality control problems are massively overblown.
Mine, for the record, is flawless. Have NOT done any exchange.
I think that there are two things that are contributing to people's perceptions being skewed on these (which isn't to say that there aren't a few that are genuinely defective).
1) It is a little bit weird when you suddenly find yourself looking through a circular polarization filter. It does cause a slight color shift at hard angles.. but that's the nature of having a circular polarization filter, which is a tradeoff for people who wear polarized glasses so that they can actually see it at all orientations. I suspect that people who do a few trade-ins eventually get used to the effect, which is why their final replacement is probably not as "bad" as the first one. I know that I've gotten so used to it now that I have to intentionally look for it now... oh yeah, that's what it does!
2) The application drawer has a very slight transparency to it. That means that you can see the image behind it very slightly -- and it looks like burn-in.

You can't have it both ways. If you decided to buy it, then IT IS worth the price. That is a technical fact.

The BT issues are affecting EVERYTHING running 8.x, and they are quite aware of it, so yeah, I would anticipate that they get sorted out fairly soon. Hopefully.
I picked up a Pixel 2 XL during Verizon's $300 off promotion. I also have a Note 8 to compare it to. I don't think any phone, especially the iPhone X, is worth $900-1000. A more reasonable amount would be $600-700 and payment plans play a big role in the upped prices this year. The OnePlus 5T at $300+ less than other flagships with similar specs, also makes you wonder. The Note 8 does feel more premium than the Pixel 2 XL, but the software experience on the Pixel 2 XL is the best I've ever seen.
A good indication of where thing are heading is that one can get a brand new LG G5 for $230, an S7 for $400, or an S8 for $575. Getting last year's models or waiting until a phone has been out 6 months is especially cost effective.

No.
I did not want a Samsung or LG anymore, I wanted something with good developer support.
So when I changed my contract I could get a new phone. Samsung and LG were out, OnePlus was not available at T-Mobile Germany. The Nokia 8 has a locked bootloader. So the choice was between the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The OnePlus 5T without contract was more expensive than the Pixels with contract.
So I shelled out €400, what else should I have done?

I hope so, so far I haven't managed to get Bluetooth audio playback working in my car.
It's worth the 765 I paid, plus the trade in for my P XL makes it a reasonable enough upgrade at 350.
Had S8 since launch, so just under a year.
I really want a Pixel for stock Android, and the camera. Not sure if I should do it, or keep the S8 for another 8 months and see what the Pixel 3 is like.
Cons for getting the Pixel are the lack of wireless, headphone jack, Samsung screen and design.
Pros are stock Android, guaranteed, fast updates, better Assistant integration, that camera.
If I get the Pixel, I'd buy on contract. £38 for 2 years, 15GB data, unlimited texts and calls. That's £912.
I bought my S8 outright, and I have a separate plan. So £680 + £15 a month for a year is £860. And that's only for a year, and I get 1000 calls, unlimited texts and 6GB data. So in the long run the Pixel is a cheaper offering (while the offer is on) than me buying my phone's outright.
Is it worth me getting the Pixel or would I just keep a hold of my S8?

No one can answer this for you. Which do you want more? You need to make that decision and then just act on it. There's no right or wrong.

I did it a month ago. It hasn't been one single moment of regret about what I did.
So, the Galaxy 8+ (D855) + QC Samsung wireless Charger (EP-PG850) are on sale now (570 EUR)....
At the end ... I was speaking for myself, so no advice from my side to do it or not.
Holy smoke....I have to modify my sig!
I ditched my s8 plus and am much happier with my pixel 2 xl.
And this is coming from a huge sammy fan.

Did the same! Sold my S8+ and liken my Pixel2 XL!! It's a keeper for me on XDA!
Ah cool there's a few who have done it ha. Do you miss the screen/super slim bezels/wireless charging/headphone jack?
Are you guys gonna keep a hold of it for while? See if I get it I'll be tied in for 2 years. I mean sure I can sell my S8 and put it towards paying it off but dunno.

I plan on holding onto mine for at least the 3 years that Google has guaranteed support for. Since project treble makes it easy to run later builds of AOSP, I imagine there will be tons of community support after that time too. It's the perfect phone in my opinion. My only complaint is that there isn't anything that I want to change. No reason for me to tinker.

Ive never used any of that stuff so i cant miss it.
Hate the stupid curved screens on the Samsung's so dont miss that one bit.
I buy at least 3 devices per year, not sure how long i will keep the pixel. If roms dont start dropping probably not that long. Then again i dont sell all my old stuff so it may hang around for awhile just because i like it alot despite no development

Can not agree more....
My S8+ was a Sammy phone after 4 years. The first thing I discovered was the awful dialer, when installing 40 app, lag showed up, had to do all sort of things to get Adhell running and disable bloatware...literally it was a 2 weeks project to at least satisfy my needs. At the beginning it had a bug in software, so it was barely usable for phone calls almost 2 months.

There's only one thing holding me back from ordering.
One, yeah I'll be committed for two years. Well unless I sell the phone and keep the contract running and then just buy a new phone, and also the fact there's the S9 out in two months and the Pixel 3 in 9.

And also wait to see if the exynos S9 has the same OEM unlock issue as the note 8. That will be a deciding factor for many of us I think.

I love my Pixel 2 XL, the camera + photo and video backup at original size for free for 3 years and you keep whatever you saved after + and updates for 3 years did it for me. The blueish tint on white from the sales doesn't bother. I never look at it from the side lol.
I thought I would miss some features from my Honor 8 or HTC 10 but this stock build is perfect for me. The camera though...... Damn it's nice lol

Hi all, I have a Mate 10 which is the absolute best phone I've ever owned, but it's inability to function correctly with Android Auto is making me consider buying a Pixel (my wife's pairs just fine with AA). I see some people sell them on swappa brand new sealed box for $700 but without the warranty from Google. How bad is the screen issue and is it definitely quite possible I could be purchasing a dud? I'd rather spend the extra $$ and go through Google itself if so. Thanks!

My friend, you can find over 1000+ opinions from users on these threads. Believe what you want from them. Best thing you could do is go to a store, and check it out yourself. Personally, I haven't had any complaints or issues with my P2XL. I don't use AA, so I can't comment on that. All I know is that mine is fine as far as the screen is concerned
Bought mine of of Swappa. Swapped out my S8+ for it. Best decision I've made as far as phones go.

Sold my S8+, Google was offering $200 credit on 128GB 2 XL. Snagged that deal, now running DU with Dolby and Viper no issues, couldn't be happier. Haven't noticed any screen issues either but YMMV. I'd rather have the warranty.

Warranty is done by IMEI and honored straight away unless phone has been blacklisted by phone carriers or Google.
Google repair doesn't ask for a receipt unless there's a blacklist issue.
Swappa does a check for bad phones before it can be listed.
So if you buy on Swappa from seller with more than 10 sales and solid 5 star feedback, that consumer experience plus PayPal and Swappa backing
and you aren't likely to have any issues. Have bought and sold there, and they for sure take care of problems.
I bought mine on Swappa and sold my international S8+, couldnt be happier. The seller sold me a week old phone, and gave me a copy of his receipt from Google. Just to be safe, I contacted Google and provided them the receipt. They said that the warranty is definitely good, and I would have not issues if I needed to file a claim. I have played with a couple Pixel 2 XL's and I honestly think the screen thing is blown out of proportion. I compared mine side by side with my S8, and my wife's Pixel XL, and you wouldn't know the difference. The both Pixels had a more cool color all together over the S8, but I honestly liked it more. I thought whites look better on the Pixel 2 XL.
I got mine on swappa as well.
While it is an excellent phone, the speakers aren't as good as I thought they'd be coming from a 6P.
More distortion/buzzing where the 6P had none.
And the lock screen is annoyingly aggravating. Trying to swipe a notification away takes 4-5 tries, even on the April security update and with substratum and magisk modules that supposedly fix the issue.
Hell, even trying to pull down the quick settings panel to toggle the flashlight takes multiple tries.
There is blue shifting at super high viewing angles, but unless you're looking at a completely white image, it's really not noticeable.
The lock screen swiping is far more annoying than the blue shift.
Made the switch from the Nexus 6P over. Purchased my XL 2 from swappa also. In my personal opinion I feel the screen issue was very overblown. Phone and process concerning swappa exceeded my expectations.
I'm looking to buy a pixel 2 XL on Swappa also.
I just can't believe how many there are being called brand new never opened but they never have a receipt. Where are all these coming from ?
So I shouldn't be concerned if it's an experienced seller with good ratings ?
Thanks for any input
An experienced seller with high rating would be your best bet...

I've been watching Swappa really close for the past 2 weeks as I'd like to pick up another couple 2XL's in Panda for my wife and daughter so we can switch to Project Fi.
I thought the exact same thing. I also think its hilarious how many of them are listed "Brand New, Sealed Box" and the 2nd and 3rd pictures are of the phone out of the "sealed box".
I grabbed one on Swappa a few weeks ago from a guy in Florida. Was a little nervous but it delivered asap, looks to be from Canada as best I can tell from the box. Have had 0 issues, unlocked it as soon as it landed, and works great.
Let's say I wanna get the Pixel 3 XL (yeah, even with that notch). Would you rather trade-in your current Pixel 2 xl with Google itself OR sell on Swappa or craigslist? or anywhere else?
1 . The phone is all stock, will be giving the Caseology case with it too and also two D-brand skins.
2. Inlcuding adapter, charger and cable.
3. Minor scratch on left side of the bottom speaker grill; not in the display area. Could post a picture when I have a second device to do so
Also, not sure what my next phone could be. Could be Note 9 or OP 6t too. Just not sure right now. But I am sure I am upgrading this year.

I don't know what these phones are selling for on Swappa or Craigslist, but last year, Google gave $400-450 (can't remember which for sure) for a pixel xl trade in, as long as the screen wasn't cracked and the phone worked. Since the 2's were more expensive, that number may be higher. I'm betting you'll get more from Google (and it'll be easier). If I end up getting the 3 xl, I'm just trading it in with Google.

I've had phones sit for 3 weeks before. And I've never gotten $400 for a phone. Most have been two years old though. Anyway, I'm going with less work for sure!
They gave me $430 trade in last year for my Pixel XL. Might do the same this year pending details and specs....
Looking at other's posts, it may be worth it to wait and see what Google offers for trade.
If you decide to sell, I recommend swappa.
I have bought 22 devices and sold 21, since December of 2012. I've only had minor issues, a couple times, which were resolved to my satisfaction. BTW, all of these sales and purchases were for my or my family's personal use. I'm an not a dealer / reseller in any way.
I just bought my first Pixel 2 XL a couple weeks ago, on swappa. It was in good shape (only one minor scratch on screen) and one bezel nick with two cases, original box and all accessories, for $460.
I'm going to see what Google offers for the 2 XL. Now I'm just thinking do I want 3 XL or 3? Leaning towards a smaller phone this go around.

Yeah, looks like I'm gonna see what Google has tomorrow & what they offer for trade in. I do want a screen as big as now (6 inch) or bigger. So it has to be something like the Pixel 3 XL (never minded any notches), Note 9 or OP 6t. However, I never liked one thing about Samsung phones. Being a heavy user in the past of Samsung phones (S3, S5, S6 edge plus), I know for sure the amount of bloatware that comes with them, even if it is the latest flagship & an unlocked device; then there is the forever wait for the software updates too, etc. That is why I do want a phone with stock or at least close to stock android UX.
Then there is OP; great software experience which is close to stock and cheap! BUT that is exactly the problem. In the past, some teardowns of the One plus devices have shown the material quality used in production of these devices is really mediocre. Example like wiring, semi conductor materials, metal quality, etc.
So in the end, guess what? Pixel 3 XL remains. Let's see!
So long as google doesnt botch the trade-ins again this year (I waited months to get my credit, as did many others), it will be the same or better than swappa, once you deduct swappa fees, most likely paypal fees, and the hassle of shipping it out.
Google sends you all you need for the trade-in at no cost to you.
After watching the last leak, I can see how huge that 3Xl is, although the notch doesn't bother me and the display looks good. But dang I might downsize and go with the 3. I guess I'll know in a few hours
So if I decide to pull the trigger today and then trade my 2XL in does anyone know what happens with preferred care? Do they give you a refund prorated back, apply it to preferred on the 3XL, or is there something manual to do? Thanks
Trade in for Pixel 2 XL is only $325! I'll either sell it or give to my daughter

The pixel 32gb is $119, 128gb is $124
Yeah mine is 64gb. I feel like I got a better trader in plus the Google home mini going from an og pixel to pixel 2 XL.
As I recall they charged your card when it shipped. That's how many of us knew ours was shipping. Looks like they charged right away this time.
I went with the 2Xl in the end. I like the notifications tucked in the corners and it was only $100 for 64gb.
Just received a Google email for a $50 store credit on a Pixel 3. whoopty doo!
Any idea if 2XL case will fit? They're only $10-15 so no big deal if not

Some may, it depends on how the case handles the buttons. The 3XL buttons are in slightly different position than 2XL. The 3XL buttons also appear to be very slightly smaller.
I ordered a spigen rugged armor for the 3 XL, it just came today.
The phones look to be identical in size, just with different button offsets, so if the 2XL case has openings for the buttons as opposed to covering them it would probably work. If anything it may need a small trim to accomodate the buttons.

Thanks for the tip. I like Spigen and caselogic products. I'll check out what is available
We're using a Pixel 2 XL and a Pixel 3XL.
Unfortunately, 2XL got dropped yesterday and screen is badly damaged. :crying:
Is it worthwhile getting same replacement on say Amazon, as Google Store is not selling them anymore, or would XDAers suggest a better option e.g. 3aXL?
Don't even have to replace it with Pixel 2 phone...open to other ideas/suggestions.
Thank you.

If my pixel 2 xl broke and i didn't have a back-up phone i would most likely get the pixel 3xl , but if i did have a back-up phone , i would use that till the pixel 4 xl came out , just my 2 cents
Sadly, don't have the luxury of waiting for the Pixel 4.
Need to replace 2XL asap as needed for business.

Sorry to hear about the screen breaking
But you do have a couple options , unfortunately they all cost money ...lol you could have the screen replaced/fixed
or you could buy a used or new P2 xl online or if money isn't an object go for the P3 xl
Where you're using the P2XL for business I assume you don't care about root for that device? If that is the case then getting a replacement on Amazon should work out for you, since the units on Amazon are likely to be Verizon models, regardless of what the seller says. If however root is important to you, then you want to get your replacement P2XL from Swappa. A screen replacement however might be better still, since then you wouldn't have to set up a new device.
If time is of the essence and money is no object, you could of course go with the P3XL, but then you would have to deal with that accursed notch. You may want to think about the P3AXL instead. You don't get the flagship-level processor and you get a plastic body instead of glass. which actually is a plus, but most everything else found on the P3XL is in the P3AXL.
I would recommend that you replace the screen which should be like $100-120, or get a used Pixel 2 XL for about $200.

Thanks for the replies.
We are the business so it's not the typical "IT folks will give us a new one" kinda thing.
Was thinking about the 3XL but wondered if it's worth paying all that when we have one already. Was looking in to the 3a XL as the person using the devices doesn't need ultra high tech.
Any ideas if the new OnePlus phone is worth it or would you folks stick with Pixel...?
I steered my roommate to a P3AXL after her using my Nexus 6 for two years. She doesn't need flagship-level specs so there you go.
I believe a P3AXL is a better option than the OnePlus device.
