Pixel 2xl or 3xl?

[Byrese]

I'd do the Pixel 2XL. Not enough in the 3 to justify the price bump to me.

Money not an issue to you? Pixel 3 XL.
You are on budget? Plenty of mint condition used Pixel 2 XL to be had for dirt cheap. That's what I did and phone is a beast.

If paying $900+ for a new pixel 3 xl doesn't make me feel like about to pass out, I would do that lol.

Are you favoring the Pixel over the OP6T as a daily driver? I recall we were in the same boat in deciding between the 2

Just for the camera. I have 2 small kids so I snap pictures all day long. 6T is superior in every other way. For now, I am sticking with Pixel 2 xl as daily driver. But that Oxygen OS and the look and feel of the 6T is amazing.

You're right - you can get some Pixel 2 XL's for great deals online! It's worth it to check those out.

Went with the Pixel 2 XL, and i should get it by 3 Jan. Also picked up a Ringke Slim TPU case. Both the phone and the case are black.

Nicely done. Where did you get it from? New or used?

Got it on eBay unused, so they can't call it "new". Guy bought it for his daughter, but she wanted an iPhone instead.

Good luck with the 2XL

That's they way to go. You are going to like it. Got mine used in mint condition for a steal.

This is so awesome! Hopefully you get your 2 XL tomorrow! Let us know how you like it! Happy Phone Week!

Pixel 2 XL is up and running. Works fine, but i found two fine scratches on the front screen. I'd rather not return it, but i could use some feedback on how to eliminate them. One other thing. I like the LED light, but i wish i could change the color. As far as i know, no other email app will trigger the LED to go on. Much thanks for your help.

I use Nine for email on a Pixel 2xl, and I can pick what color I choose through the Nine settings.

I'll have to give that one a try. Gmail was giving me a pale blue LED flash, but then it stopped. Haven't figured that out yet.

UbreakIfix stores carry some good $20 scratch removal kit. Works pretty good I just can't remember the name.

Thanks for that. I wonder if anyone has found a fix for the LED blink light?:'(

Thanks, but i've tried all the "light managers" in the app store. Maybe if i root this puppy, that will do the trick?

Nine works. Thanks. I've never paid for an email app, but there's always a first time. Don't know why it doesn't work with gmail, aquamail, bluemail, etc.

Glad you got everything worked out! I use Textra for SMS; and their different LED notification settings for each contact is really awesome! I know you were referring me email, though; but just in case!

Glad it worked out. I've used several email apps and Nine works the best for me. Lots of customization.
