Finally a Good One!

I'm in the same boat here. I'm getting a 5th pixel 2 xl sent to me this weekend. I've had issues with every unit,(crackling speakers, screen burn in,Bluetooth issues) including this latest handset dying one day and wouldn't turn back on no matter what I did. I still love this phone and I hate having to do exchanges but hopefully this will be it! I plan on having this phone 2 years or so.

Hopefully #5 is the charm unit! Keep us posted!

Hello people. On my fifth pixel 2xl I finally have one with no quality issues! I've always loved this phone but seemed to keep getting duds from Google.
Phone 1- fingerprint sensor stopped working intermittently.
Phone 2- Bluetooth issues and another bad fingerprint sensor.
Phone 3- Headphone dongle stopped working from time to time.
Phone 4- Fingerprint sensor stopped working.

Even though I loved the camera and the screen (yes, on everyone I've had I've loved the screen) I gave up. I went to the V30. With the Google camera port the camera is actually usable. Combined with Nova and the high contrast theme, this was a really solid device. However, it's not as fluid as the Pixel 2XL and the T Mo version is WAY behind on security updates. So I decided to try the Pixel 2xl again.

I had purchased the first four from Google so I decided to switch tactics. For lucky 5 I paid full price at Best Buy. Turns out the only thing Verizon is the SIM. It's the exact same phone, I was able to buy it and use it on TMo with no problems. I don't think this is why I got a good one, I think I just got lucky.

Anyhow, I got one of the no blue shift displays, fingerprint sensor is great, Bluetooth has been reliable, and I've had no issues with the dongle. I'm a happy camper and am looking forward to using this baby for a good while!

Thanks for indulging me, I feel like you're this is the only place I can express my phone obsession without people thinking I'm bonkers.

PS I'm surprised that I haven't heard more about fingerprint sensor issues. 3 out of 5 can't be that random.

Wow sounds like you went through an ordeal. Hopefully this one stays solid.

On my fifth pixel 2xl

And that is why when my first one had a bad blue tint I did not even play the exchange game. Big QC issues with this one.
