    Just switched from an iPhone X

    Tried a 2 XL, now back to the iPhone X. Camera on the Pixel is better, iPhone blows out the highlights sometimes. Blue tint on Pixel didn't bother me but no way the screen is as good as the X. Notch doesn't bother me. I found battery life to be similar on both, maybe a little better on the X...

    Labels in Google Photos

    I'd just create an album called "brown dogs" and another album called "white dogs" and put the appropriate photos in each album.

    Do you still recommend the Pixel 2?

    I'm going to end up keeping the X. I agree about the camera, Pixel is better. iPhone seem like it blows out the highlights. However, battery life on 2 XL and iPhone X seems about the same to me.

    How does the Pixel 2 make my Google life better than an iPhone?

    Thanks. I installed this one and it was exactly what I was looking for: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dc7.SilentModeToggle

    Probably a dumb question (Google weather frog)

    I love that weather app. Lots of information without being cluttered. Easy to get to, just tap the temperature on the home screen. Better than anything I've found on iOS.

    The Pixel's biggest competitor is........the iPad

    Everyone is using themselves for examples. You all are not average users. I can not picture giving an Android phone to my dad, mom, girlfriend, or boss and even remotely expecting them to coordinate it with their iPad.

    You must be young :) Us older people appreciate the bigger screen.

    I'm obviously not trying to dictate what people can say. I just wanted to discuss the iPad/Android phone thing in general. Not specific to me. But that's OK, I'm happy to talk about me too :)

    Even if a great Android tablet were to come out, it would have a tough road ahead of it as Android tablet apps are way behind iPad apps.

    The Pixel's biggest competitor is........the iPad

    I wasn't really my intent to debate my decision in isolation. What I was trying to say that as long as the iPad is the most common tablet out there, I think Google is going to have a challenge selling Android phones to tablet users. Although, I don't know what percentage of smartphone users...

    No. I think the thing people are missing is that the average user is not like you. They're not posting on phone forums. They don't want to tinker to make things work. So the average person that has an iPad is most likely going to want an iPhone to go along with it.

    It's not that it's a problem, it's that it's easier when both are iOS. -many purchased apps work on both iPad and iPhone. You have to purchase separate apps for Android. -wifi passwords entered on one device don't have to be reentered on the other. -iMessaging -same cables -find my iPhone/iPad...

    I'm a long time Apple user who decided to try the Pixel 2 XL. It took me a while to get used to the new operating system but I do seem to like it better than iOS now. However, I will be returning the phone at the end of my 14 days. Although I like it better than the iPhone, the difference is...
