Somehow over the course of the year after I got a S20 and I COULD NOT find my pixel 2 XL no matter what. However, I did some extensive car cleaning and found it wedged in between one if the back seats. Ss long as it had been, I wasn't counting on it to power back on. But to my surprise it did, and it has updated to Android 11.
I actually am considering putting my sim in it for a little while because this phone actually still does certain things better than my S20 in my opinion(STILL not getting the Android 11 update on that -_-). The keyboard is easier for me to type and text with and seems more responsive.
Camera doesn't have as many tools as the S20, but it still does photography very well and isn't far off at all from my S20, in fact I think on just point and shoot mode, it's just as good if not better. Obviously S20 has more zoom and the extra lenses, but just from a pure point and shoot stand point-- pixel 2 XL still does very well.
Only real complaints I have are the battery doesn't have as much capacity-- which is a normal finding after a time of no use/charge and audio is somewhat tinny. But doing basic things like texting and typing I think the pixel keyboard is much better, I have far less accidental touches of nearby characters than what I experience with my S20.
Bottom line-- I'm happy to have my pixel 2 XL back and am pleasantly surprised with how well it does things compared to my S20.
Might switch the sim card back and forth between the two to save wear and tear on both. Good idea to keep one phone handy in case the other one goes down and you cannot get it fixed or replaced right away.
