Hope so. I have no interest in a notch, honestly. I might upgrade to such a phone if every manufacturer is doing it... But it's really not my cup of tea. I'd like to see the new aspect ratio with a minimal (but still existent) bezel on a 5"ish phone. The XL is too big IMO. More battery would...

I'm using the Vena vskin case for my Pixel 2. Really liking it. It's a slim case, but it seems a bit slimmer than most. Has some unique texture design. Unlike several others, it doesn't impede the usb-c port at all (e.g.: for my SanDisk usb-c drive use). For around $10 on Amazon, a good deal IMO.

Ahh, that explains it... XL. I'll say it again... Android Central needs to split this into two threads... One for each phone. The batteries are nowhere near the same, they SHOULD know that.

Wow, looks like your getting 10 hours all said and done on the smaller pixel. How did you do it?

Wow, over 8 hours on the smaller pixel 2. Tell us how you did it. I only get 6 max.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a screen protector. I SHOULD use them, but I don't. I really don't like them. That said, I did buy the added protection for my pixel... Not certain it's a good investment, but we'll see. Hopefully it's a waste of money and my pixel lives on for 2+ glorious...

I found the NeoHybrid to not be all that grippy. It looks like it would be, though. I bought the NeoHybrid and the Caseology Parallax. The Parallax delayed until I got fed up and cancelled it. Then, out of the blue, Caseology sent me a freebie. Used both for a while each... The Parallax is my...

A LOT of people are not listing the specific phone. Can AC split this into two forums... An XL and a regular? Otherwise, it's barely doing anyone any good.

Just need to figure out how to activate it from the lock screen. It keeps requiring a passcode. Would like it as seamless as the chop. Hmm.

I exit everything I am not currently using... swipe it away. I generally keep the screen low, as it is well and bright at low levels (at this moment, 11%). I don't have Facebook, Twitter, etc. so I save on that. My typical apps are Feedly, chrome, Slickdeals, keep, phone, messaging... Hmm...

www.virustotal.com You could upload the apk to virus total. Not only will it scan for malware but it'll also give you details on what website it's communicating with.

I know! I'm stunned about how fast the camera takes a picture. For me, coming from a Moto G5, this is night a day.

Here is mine with a description of the use and benefits... Pixel 2 (smaller) running Nova launcher. Use a mostly black background for the oled benefit. At the top is 'Another Widget' (awesome calendar widget, imo). Running Bluetooth constantly due to various speakers and my mi band I'm always...

Motorola g5 plus 4/64. Loved the phone but too many issues with crappy build quality. Hoping the hype is overblown on the pixel 2 and I can actually enjoy this phone. The camera seems amazing, and the battery life seems close to the g5+. So far im happy, 4 days in.

This is awesome. Many thanks. I too am suffering from the lack of actions inherent to Moto devices. While not 100% ideal, its still cool and useful at times over the swipe and select method. Another option, in the least. [emoji106]
