Pixel 2 XL Phone (2017) by Google, 128GB G011C, 6" inch Factory Unlocked Android 4G/LTE Smartphone (Just Black)

Perfect .. I always have wanted this phone I made it a point to self gifted it for Christmas . it is a great phone and it takes marvelous photos plus I am getting on graciously with Google Assistant

The phone is ok no problems

The most fundamental things for convenient use of the phone is how you unlock it. The finger print sensor is so buggy and unreliable as to me useless more than half of the time and the facial recognition is worse, as far as I can tell this is a software problem as usually a reboot gets things working for a short time before they go wonky again. Also, some of the apps seemed to work better on my previous Android phone, this may reflect that the most recent version of Android isn't yet stable... Anyway, not a good phone to use. Very, very annoying.

I was very much an Apple customer for over a decade, but the built-in redundancy and poor battery life eventually got to me. The Pixel 2 XL is pretty much everything I want in a phone - and all with a BRILLIANT camera that takes better photos than my SLR! Very pleased. I've only knocked one star off due to the lack of an earphone jack - it makes charging it at night when I'm usually listening to audio books very tricky.

I updated to this from a Samsung Galaxy S4, I had one of Google's first tablets and was very happy with it so this seemed a good option. The S4 was always stable, the Pixel crashes 10+ times a day, often doing trivial things like putting passcode in. Fingerprint reader does not work reliably enough to even set it up. I intended to use it with Android Auto, however it seems to crash if you change anything with it during driving which means you have to pull over, log back into phone, disconnect and reconnect phone and then do the same thing a few minutes later!? So music copied to a USB stick and I got the TomTom back out, that one has never crashed before either. Its a shame because the screen is nice and it works smoothly and everything is easy to find and the camera takes lovely pictures. But I've never had a device that is as unstable as this, particularly one that is meant to be a premium device. A crappy effort Google, I plan to go back to Samsung as soon as I can afford it and bin this useless piece of junk.

The only thing that I have to complain is that you need to be aware that if you buy this smartphone on a foreign country you may have issues with the encoding of your country SIM card. I have ordered the device from the UK and I have been struggling to send emojis with a SIM card from Portugal. Besides that, I am in love with this device, and I really recommend it!

When I first got this phone I really did love it. It has some great all mod con features and has a great battery life. The camera is also excellent.The downside of it for me is its size. I should of went for the smaller one. It regularly falls out the pocket of my jackets or pants due to not fitting in them completely, this has also lead to the screen cracking pretty much each time it has fell also. Which says the screen isn't very hardy either. It's also awkward to text with, I have to use both hands unlike previous Xperia phones I had which were very ergonomic (and a lot more hardy!) I won't be getting another Google phone when I upgrade again. I'm actually considering going back to Sony Xperia before my current contract is up as I don't think this one will last another 18month.

Super phone. Battery backup should be better in Pixel 5 onwards.Rest it is a pure Google experience. Loved it totally.All Android updates and security patches on time.Loved it completely.
