So I bought another one

[C5Longhorn]

So I had a really great offer for a Pixel 2 today. Too good to pass up so I got one! Excited.
Currently I am monkeying around with a Pixel XL.

What was your offer?

I think a 64 gb Pixel 2 may be the best price/value model of the bunch. It gets all the latest features and is the cheapest one.

Still liking the smaller form factor?

My thoughts thus far.

I don't know any of the issues people are having with the Pixel 2 (small) and I think that helps.

So far, I'm absolutely loving it. I the bezels oddly don't bother me at all. The battery isn't as good as the XL but I'm managing. I'm at around 17hours uptime with 4 hours screen time and 30% left.

Weird enough, I think I like this one better than the bigger one. It's much lighter and slides right into my pocket easily. Nothing else much to say, I used the transfer tool and it was awesome to see literally EVERYTHING download and install how it was on my XL. I think that the colors are a little better when comparing selfies, you can see my wife's color a lot better on this screen, other than that the screen on the XL never bothered me.. and as far as I'm concerned, it's a non-issue because Google just released an update. I thought I would miss the 18:9 aspect ratio, but as of now I never have since cracking open the mini-me version.

Interesting to read your impressions, but I'm curious what happened to your g6? It's very pocketable, basically same size as the pixel2, and has a 5.7 inch display instead of 5.0 . . I know this obviously has clean Android, but you seemed so happy I can't imagine you jumped ship for that. . . I guess I'm wondering because I hear what you're saying about the pixel2, but to go down so far in screen size w/o a decrease in phone size would make me batty I think.

Check out the G6 forum. My wife and I were victims of the terrible TMobile update that basically broke our phones. My OS began crashing and my phone slowed down terribly.. My wife's phone stopped vibrating and would crash apps. I hear there was an update, and i still have the phone, but it took them 3 months to push a new update, that's insane. I wanted to have the updates straight from Google like I did when I spent time on the Nexus line before moving to LG.

Yeah I think so.

Is kinda blue only for Verizon. It's not even an option on the unlocked version. I eventually want to pick one up for my wife.

Google says Kinda Blue will be available unlocked "early next year."

Got a small one.. Just because..

And with that TMobile 325 coming back.. It's probably the cheapest phone I bought in awhile

So do you have a favorite regular or XL? I'm sure both of them have pros and cons

 

[C5Longhorn]

Yeah I think so.

What are your latest thoughts on the phone?

I think I favor the mini me. I like that it's flat.

Love it. Both versions.

Nice, I ordered a smaller version last night and still have a panda XL on order.
