MKBHD Swaps from Pixel 2 XL

Could also be laggy because of the developer preview??

OT, but I really don't get video reviews like this that could instead be written up more concisely and accurately in a few paragraphs at most that I could skim or read in a few seconds. A few words are worth a thousand video frames!

Perhaps you work that way, but if you read the comments on his videos, people take what he says as gospel. He's a hack out to make money on YouTube. Nothing more.

Hmmmmm...Seems he wasn't a hack 6 months ago, when the Pixel 2XL was his favorite phone. Seems like a lot of fanboyism going on in this thread.

I didn't find any lag or issues on my 2XL until that last P update. But thats a beta so I won't worry until the next update comes.

Only thing that bothers me about the 2XL that has me considering a switch is the screen's black smearing when its low light. I like to spend some time on my phone before going to bed and in a dark room. I get audio clipping at times on mine too, which seems worse on the P beta.

I like the video and appreciate his opinion, even though what he has highlighted is not a concern for me. I am enjoying the camera on the 2XL still so nothing he has said makes me want to consider the 1+6.

I will probably wait until later in the fall and see how the 3XL compares to the 2XL. I don't see this as being a good time for 2XL fans to jump ship, unless money is no issue.

I thought he was a hack way before the Pixel 2 XL.

I don't trade my Pixel 2 XL right now for anything, and less now than I'm downloading the Android Pie Update as I speak, but yes, I have seen a couple of hiccups here and there and a couple of weeks ago I needed to reboot the phone because I was getting weird errors and behaviors.

So, a guy like him with so many phones to choose from I do see why he may be switching for something he considers is working better for him. I take no offense on that, everybody is entitled to their opinion.

MKBHD used to be my go to for phone reviews until about a year and a half ago.
His reviews have become a bit lazy and are now just repeating what the crowd are saying which is why this video was no surprise at all.
Pocketnow filled the void until they stopped the real camera and real audio reviews.
If you want a true honest opinion though it's flossy carter all the way.

Also no lag on my pixel 2 xl and from what I saw on his video, none on his either

 

[Vega007]

Definitely don't agree.. also YouTube comments are worthless to me. I could find any video and tell you people worship anyone of any kind of Fame... So your point isn't really a point to me. There will always be someone like that but definitely not me

YouTube comments are worthless, it is a cesspool of nonsense. If you value your mind, do not read YouTube comments ever lol.

Flossy is entertaining to a degree. Just like any reviewer....I don't always agree.

Oh same. But flossy is always clear about when something is his opinion. Don't always agree with them but can appreciate the not being passed as facts!

I think the key is not to fall into the trap as some do that since "reviewer A says it, it must be so" and then quote them as gospel. One of my pet peeves...lol
