8.1 didn't fix coil whine or call static

[Andreas Lagos]

Many many people have this issue. Look on the Google forums, there are thousands of posts. They mainly say the issues are with the regular pixel 2 and not the XL, but I don't know if I want to risk it. Also, yes I know that all OLED screens have some color shift, but the Pixels is very exaggerated in comparison

I wouldn't listen to all these comments about RMAing your phone. Odds are Google will send you another with the same issue. This is most likely software related, for better or for worse
