4XL. Performance has been outstanding. Head and shoulders above the 3XL. Very pleased with performance, multitasking, and battery life. However, I do worry about how well 6GB will handle the workload a year from now.
And, now it's working. Changed nothing. It's working on both my physical Pixel 2 XL and my emulated device. Changed nothing on either. Obviously, Google fixed on their end.
I haven't changed anything either. As a test I fired up a fresh Android AVD emulator in Android Studio, emulating Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1, and I get the exact same thing. So, a factory reset certainly won't help.
Get "failed to turn off cards due to a network error" when trying to reset feed preferences. Tried uninstalling Google app and re-installing. Tried rebooting. Tried resetting cache and data in Google app. Pixel 2 XL, June update.
Versus what I have now (Nexus 5): fresh battery with longer life, better speakers, 3GB RAM, fingerprint sensor, faster CPU, faster NAND. Not sure how I feel about OLED but am certainly willing to find out first hand! :)
