why are people still getting the pixel 2 xl with so many problems associated with this phone!
In short, I have finally found a great replacement for Nexus 6P. I love this phone.
I love the small size. 1080p was annoying at first but I can live with it. Camera is freaking amazing. Performance is great. Battery life seems to be pretty good considering the battery size. But it’s not worth 61K. At 40K you are still paying a lot of money for a great camera considering OP5T is still cheaper and has much better hardware specs. I hope the price cut becomes permanent so that more people get this phone and enjoy the fantastic camera Google has put on it. It’s a shame that Pixel is priced so high because it would have been a great seller at Nexus level prices.
One small thing I wish Google had done. Made gestures customizable. Squeeze can be used to initiate Google Assistant. I would love to connect it to camera. There are gestures for picking up the phone to see notifications. I would have loved if Pixel 2 allowed to turn off the ringtone on doing this. I loved this feature on Nokia 8. Nokia 8 also had a feature to take screenshots from the quick notification panel. I loved that as well.
The only annoyance factor left is that I cannot seem to find a good case/screenguard for it. I installed gadgetshieldz on it but it is not case friendly so as soon as i installed the case on it, the screenguard started ripping at the edges. Would need to order one again and cut the borders before installing it. Only a few Spigen cases are available for Pixel 2 on Amazon and prices are pretty obscene. Ordering a Ringke transparent TPU case which costs Rs. 999 insane as it would turn yellow in a few weeks.
Here is a photo taken in low light conditions. Flash was on for this one. Would share more shots in coming days.
