Got the XL waiting for me at home. I should be feeling joy, but I definitely feel deflated. I just ordered a regular Pixel 2 for delivery next week. I'll decide if it goes back after some use tonight.
Just got my 2 XL , and I HATE the screen. Color shift while typing, that's ridiculous! Its sooo bad. My 6p screen is much better and that isn't saying much. Posting video to youtube shortly.
They could fix the color saturation and color profile. That's issue number one.Let me ask you all this...If this spreads like wildfire and people begin cancelling and returning their phones, Is it technically possible and within Google's ability to push out an emergency update? Or is this beyond their ability to fix through a patch?

Setting up my new pixel 2 xl right now...
Few impressions the build quality is fine. But the screen leaves a lot to be desired I'm not super picky when it comes to screens. But the color shift is VERY noticeable. So noticeable that you won't be able to not see it. It's not an issue you look for... It's there.
Also, the screen just is not the best colors look so weird. I can easily tell on emojis. I am coming from the original pixel XL. I REALLY wanted to love this phone. But I'm not sure I'll be keeping it. I just see waves of blue and warm White whenever I'm typing and move my head a bit or even when I maneuver the phone to tap stuff up high.
Maybe I'll get used it it in a week. But it definitely doesn't have a wow factor :/ and it should!!!!!
The screen also looks different... Reminds me of the screen on the LG G6 (which I owned for about 10 days)
Also, not sure if this is common with front facing speakers. But if I play music at medium to high level I can totally feel the music on the screen when I tap stuff. It's kind of obnoxious.
I see no sRGB controls in Developer Options or in the System UI, which is essentially worthless.Has anyone gone into the Developer Options and checked to see if the sRGB switch is turned on? Maybe if it's on by default, we can get those punchy vibrant colors we've grown to love on our OLED screens by just simply turning it off!
I would say it's a bit less blue than it seems. But it's blueThis was a clip I pulled off you tube. That looks bad to me. I hope mine doesn't look like that. //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171018/53f95c9b20b16693a1be9ad624944f53.jpg
