I used to upgrade every 3 to 6 months, then it was once a year, now I'm still rocking the OG Pixel XL and seriously wondering if the 3XL is a big enough upgrade. Fatigue is a real thing.
For myself I don't care much about a phone's style, I care about it's function. a lot of functions like camera functions call screening etc are coming to the Pixel XL.
So do I really want to spend $900 to get better speakers and a better camera. the screen is about a wash for me as the Pixel XL has a great screen unlike the 2 XL which ironically I'd probably be more willing to upgrade from thanks to the screen issues , which is why I didn't upgrade last year.
Also if every phone wasn't getting more and more expensive each year I'd be more eager. Maybe I'll wait until 5G phones come out, or at least until the Pixel XL doesn't get any more updates
