I figure we have TONS of threads popping up so I am going to make a master one -- This way we don't have 10 threads on the same subject .
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
Euphoria and the fear or being embargoed perhaps.Seeing all these "The Pixel 2 XL could have been the best phone" topics breaks my heart...
Why Google? Why? Why didn't anyone say anything from the hands on after the presentation???
No it does not. Regular Pixel 2 is fine.I ordered regular pixel 2. Does it also affect regular pixel 2?

I just got the Pixel 2 today, the small one... when I compared a picture taken on my note 8 on my Pixel XL from last year and the Pixel 2 side-by-side with the brightness turned all way up on both, I haven't been able to find any noticeable differences or discoloration.
(somewhat) shrinking my comments from a closed thread; there seem to be different issues here:
Flawed panels: Visible "dirt" or "grain" artifacts on solid colored backgrounds, whatever is happening on Vlad Savov's panel. - Many reviewers and videos/photos don't show these, so it seems like LG is having more QC variability than Samsung's more mature panels. Make sure your 2XL screen looks good when you receive it.
Color balance: The colors look accurate to me, but people often prefer saturated colors over accuracy. Since Oreo has true color management built in, it should be easy for Google to other color profiles via software update, so just keep asking for it.
Off-axis blue shift: Clearly a real thing (visible in most reviews). Offhand it looks similar to what I see on my Nexus 6p, but that's in person and not on a video, so I'll have to wait for mine to see. Anyhow, only you can decide how important off-angle color shift is to you and whether it's too severe for your needs.
So I don't see that the sky is falling unless you lose the QC lottery, in which case I'd definitely say to send it back. If the sRGB color profile is not to your liking, definitely send your feedback to Google so they put out a punchy, oversaturated version.
Cheers!
I have one picture I took at the Verizon store. It’s straight on. My boyfriend noticed right away that the “big one” was blue towards the top right and then more white towards the bottom left. He is not a techie and just went with me because I wanted to see it. Still want mine and I’ll see if that bothers me or not in day to day use if it has a problem. //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171018/17fcff95196d454a0636fd6fa2b89446.jpg
