  • This just in : “Googles Pixel 2xl returns more than double this year” That is all. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing

  • Any case recommendations? I like this Spigen Rugged Armor.. But this is a hard ass case. Something softer.

  • I’m loving my pixel XL 2 despite all the complaints about the screen I’m not having any issue

  • I cancelled my order after reading Tim’s article and the reddit/xda links. I was okay with the potential screen issues, but fulfilling later date orders over orders placed on the 4th is a dealbreaker, especially for a $1,000 phone.

  • With all the commercials during the MLB playoffs they better double sales at the very least.

  • As it should be. My Pixel 2 has been incredible. Just shipped my OG XL back to Google today for my Trade in Dollars.

    • FREE app = you see advertising.
      $2 PAID app = NO ads.

      why it should be different with $950 Pixels? you pay $950 to Google-LG and see Google’s ads. LOL.
      Pixels should be either free/cheap or sell with total AD-BLOCKER pre-installed.

      • Because… They are looking to bring in more revenue through additional products and services… Like any major corporation… That’s like saying that if someone buys an iPhone, all iTunes music should be free because Apple isn’t allowed to be profitable in more than one area…

        Anyway… How was that related to my comment? 🙂

      • there are no advertisements on my Pixel 2 XL………… What in the world are you talking about?

  • I wonder how many of those pre-orders will be returned or cancelled? It’s a real shame that there has been so much negative publicity, not to mention supply issues again.

    • I’m REALLY happy with my P2XL. The blue tint will bug me every once in awhile, but everything else about this phone more than makes up for it. I never notice it when I’m actually using my phone. It’s mostly when someone else is using it and I’m looking at what they’re doing off to the side. I actually switched my N6P to sRGB a couple days before I got this phone. So I’m already used to that. I just set my wife up on the N6P last night and now the colors look almost cartoonish they’re so over saturated. It’s crazy how you get used to something like that. Battery life is insanely good and the UI is buttery smooth. I’ll definitely be keeping it.

      • I just got an LG V30 which has a similar (if not the same) screen. I can agree, the blue tint thing doesn’t bother me at all. It’s barely noticeable in regular use.

        • How’s the V30? I’m somewhat torn between the 2XL and the V30 (or the original XL if discounted on Black Friday). Heck, even the G6 looks like a smoking deal at under $400.

          • I’ve had absolutely great experiences on the V30. Two family members got the phone and loved it. No issues with the display whatsoever. I highly recommend going with it.

          • I’m loving it so far. The design is beautiful and I haven’t experienced issues others say it has. My brother got a Pixel 2 XL from Verizon but I haven’t had the chance to look at it in person yet. But I’m happy with my decision.

      • Not to piss in your cereal but you may want to keep an eye on the “burn-in”/retention. I began to see it in everyday use after 7 days with mine. Even after using Navbar apps to try to alleviate the issue… Too bad. Hope mine was just bad though and not all.

        • Oh I will. I’m not too worried about it though. Google seems to treat everyone right with RMAs.

          If I tried to find screen burn in on my N6 & N6P it was definitely there. I never once saw it in my daily use though. So I don’t know if everyone is going and looking for burn in, or if they’re seeing it in their daily use, or what. But I figured I would be the judge on it myself and hope Google does me right if it does get bad.

          • I hope for all our sake they fixed something. Like I said though, I did clearly notice it in everyday use when I was just watching a Netflix video. A distinct vertical discolored band with the buttons visible.

          • I would also like to have this answered. In my experience, you really have to look for it to find it.

          • Reposting for you.
            “I began to see it in everyday use after 7 days with mine.”

            Actually the last straw for me was seeing it while watching an 25 minute episode on Netflix. Never went away, distinct vertical band.

      • It’s crazy how used to the over saturated colors one gets. When i first switch over to sRGB, whites look like yellow. After a few minutes, however, your eyes start to adjust and the colors look as they should.

      • Went through a similar thing when I switched from the Nexus 6 to Moto X Pure. The Moto X Pure had more accurate colors which I really liked, and the Nexus 6 looked disgustingly oversaturated and inaccurate.

        • I remember going to the N6, from the N5, and thinking the N6s colors were crazy oversaturated.

    • WAIT —- Someone who is willing to get their phone IN-HAND… to then make a objective decision based on their own personal experience? . . . no no no something is wrong here.

    • But aren’t you hyping the issue by putting your first paragraph out there? As you don’t have the phone. As there is disagreement with what the problem actually is, let’s leave speculation alone and give it a few weeks.

      • Uh, how am i hyping the issue? I said i wonder how many people either returned their orders, or just outright cancelled them, and that I’ll make my decision AFTER i receive the phone.
