oh dear lord. You criticizing a Google product? It doesn't matter if you have had every model. You are basically a democrat who is pro-life at this point. Good luck with that...

m still on the pixel 2xl and it's easily the best phone I've ever owned. Almost time to upgrade though. Just to keep up with tech.


This. Haven't felt left behind yet. May go to 2021 with this 2XL. Nothing out there is worth replacing it yet. Sorry for your luck

I had the 1 and the 3. Customer service for me wasn't helpful in the warranty department. I bought the phone from Verizon and tried to send it to Google because the fingerprint sensor was crooked. They told me 2 week process to get it fixed and no loaner. Would have left me without a phone. Verizon sent me a refurb instead. I've moved on to OnePlus

Wife & I both have pixel 3s and will probably be jumping ship in the fall.
I've only had 2 issues: phone will randomly freeze and I'll need to reset or it will drop wifi and I'll need to reset. Resetting solves both of my issues
Wife sometimes can't make calls, calls drop, and she will occasionally not receive texts. I keep telling her to bring it in for a new replacement, but she just wants to get a new phone

I had the Nexus 6P then went to the Pixel 2XL. Both lasted me 2 years and could have lasted longer but decided to upgrade. I love the pixel line but didn't love the look of the 4 so I went to Samsung S20. No complaints on that either so far.

I've had my 2XL for 2.5 years and have had no problems at all. The battery is finally starting to hold less of a charge but that's ok since I plan on getting the 5 this fall.

I had a Google pixel 4XL, it was the worst battery I have ever used in a phone, it was absolutely horrendous, I went back to my note 9, I will say, the photos were phenomenal, but the battery was the straw that broke the camel's back

I have used multiple Pixel, Galaxy, Motorola and iPhones over the years, often at the same time and the Pixel phones are by far the best...

I kinda wanna keep my iphone 8+ and also get the new Pixel 5 when it comes out. I love swapping back and forth between ios and android every few years. Both do certain things really well.

pixel 4xl here and my battery is amazing - either you had a bad phone or an app was draining you down?

(the hinge/bumble/dating apps drain the battery of my phone Fwiw)

I have had Nexus 5x and Pixel 2-4. I really have not ever had a single issue other than the battery on my 4 is a complete joke. A phone not lasting through a whole day with moderate use is unacceptable this day in age.

The only problem I've had with the Pixel 2 and 4 are that I sometimes get texts either really delayed or not at all. That could just be a Verizon issue though, as most of those texts come from AT&T customers.

"I've only had a 3XL and have experienced nothing that you've suggested."

Same here, 3xl and never had a problem.

I was about to trade in my 2XL for a S10 this week but I'm just going to hold one until it dies. It's been a super dependable phone.
