Are you keeping your Pixel 2 XL?

To keep or not to keep.

Just like pretty much every other phone that’s released, the Pixel 2 XL has had its fair share of ups and downs. The initial launch and the numerous display complaints left some folks with a bad taste in their mouths, but after Google addressed these issues and pushed out a handful of updates to the phone, it’s now better than ever.

Some of our forum users recently got to talking about whether or not they’re deciding to keep the Pixel 2 XL, and for the most part, people seem to be holding onto Google’s large and in charge flagship.

2 Pixel 2 XL’s here, me and the wife are both keeping ours. Love them! No issues. Blue tint is a non issue for us. Best phones we’ve ever used.

I’m sending mine back. It was definitely the best phone I’ve ever had no doubt about it. The problem is I picked up an Essential phone to play with and IMO it’s 94% as good at what I use it for. I bought it on the Sprint deal for $225 total and it works great on T-Mobile as does the Pixel 2 XL. The problem is I don’t think the Pixel is $700 better than the Essential phone.
