just got my xl

It's amazing how people justify a subpar feature on a High dollar phone 80% of your time is screen was a deal breaker for me

How much lower would the price need to get before it was no longer a "High dollar phone" and the so-called blue tint would be acceptable? Because Best Buy has the 2 XL on sale for $549 (on monthly plan)

I must have got a good one because mine doesn't shift any different than the Samsungs.... In fact I think some Samsungs have more shift around the edges than I can really stand

They won't exchange it for severe blue shift anymore. Your best bet is to return and lose your 35.00 or keep the phone.

He can probably get Verizon to exchange it for another if he calls they 800 number.

I was one of the first to get a Pixel 2 XL and I didn't know I was supposed to be upset about "blue shift" until I read about it in forums. For me it's totally overblown. What I really notice is how fast it is and how good the camera is.

Got my XL yesterday. Screen is far better than many reviewers say. The phone is so fast, fluid and exellent in every way. Camera is superb.

Coming from a Note 8 with no regrets.

So glad you're enjoying your Pixel 2!

It's still a display lottery...

Sometimes you'll get a phone with slight blue shift and lots of grain. Or little to no grain and bad blue shift. You either have to live with it or try and get a good one.

I have no idea what this "grain" thing is. I've had two Pixel 2 XL's that were absolutely identical and I've looked at the Pixel 2 XL in several Verizon and Best Buy stores. All have been identical with the same mild off-axis blue cast. All were very sharp. I have 20/20 vision and at this high of a resolution on such a small screen, I cannot see individual pixels or "grain". Can you explain what you're talking about when you say "grain"?

I agree, it is a fantastic phone. I just started noticing some touch sensitivity issues today though as well... It doesn't always register my touches when tapping on something. And in one app I noticed scrolling with my fingertip gave me issues as well, had to use more of my finger to get it to respond. I've read this could be a hardware issue? Is that true?

I agree, I'm really enjoying the pixel XL 2, smooth, fast, fluid and the camera is simply stellar. No screen issues either. Just waiting on my case and car mount

What kind of case did you get? Are you using a screen protector of any kind?

No screen protector at all, not a fan, and I ordered the Pitaka case with mag mount car vent. Pricey but I really like the look and the tech behind it.

No case for me, just a small cardholder for my creditcard and sertificate.

Google phone imei manufacture date or something like that and see when it was made. The later ones have better screens.

Not true still a Gamble
