    Manuf Dates of Pixel 2 XL Replacements from Google.

    yeah I have another replacement on the way now. Oddly enough after I fought with them over the screen being off as they kept giving me the line that display variation is normal and weren't going to do another RMA at first , my USB port died again today (data access and headphone adapter quit...

    Manuf Dates of Pixel 2 XL Replacements from Google.

    A little background first: I just had to replace my Pixel 2 XL with the Google Store under warranty for an issue with the USB port recently failing(seems to be a common fault). A phone that was otherwise perfect unfortunately. I can honestly say that I'm a little disappointed in my...

    Ordered a Graphite 64 GB from B&H yesterday 3-19-16. Unfortunately the item is out of stock so I'm waiting on a 7-10 shipping window. Coming from a Nexus 5 which I decided was a bit small for my liking and screen size and the battery life was killing me. The one thing i will miss is wireless...
