Went from Pixel XL to Pixel
- Thread starter JoshDunc
- Start date
I would say my hands aren't very large but xl gloves are never long enough. I chose the smaller size as well. I pick up my wife's XL and it's nice but not my preference.
I wanted the xl but did not want to wait until January for it so I got the regular Pixel and am sort of glad that I got it instead. It is much easier in my pocket. I have to carry 2 phones so having the second phone smaller than the xl makes it nice getting in and out of my car. Works great and glad I finally got any Pixel.
I did the same. I was going to get the XL but I couldn't find one. I got a 32gb pixel to test the phone out to see if I would even like the phone. Well after two days I knew I loved the device and the size. I took the phone back and got a 128 GB pixel now in silver. It's a amazing device and I'm loving the smaller size from what I'm used to.
How does the Pixel battery life compare to the Z Force? I am thinking about making a similar switch.
I really couldn't tell you, I didn't use the Z Force that much - if you look through these threads, I think you'll see the Pixel does well in the battery department.
I never had the force but I had the regular Moto Z. The pixel beats that. I'd I were to guess the XL would better compete with the Force. I

I had the S7E and then went to the regular Pixel. I then figured I'd get the Pixel XL and decide which one to keep.
Made the decision today. I'm gonna stick with the Pixel and sell the XL.
I love the screen size on the XL but I prefer the portability of the smaller Pixel. I get phenomenal battery life and fluid operation out of both. But, Pixel wins.

I was frankly shocked at how much I enjoy the smaller size. I have had larger devices for so long I forgot what it feels like. I love is portability like you said. And overall this phone flies. I mean zero lag. It's amazing. I even got the silver model. First phone in years to not be black for me. Google did a great job with the pixel and pixel XL. Very impressed.

I probably would have picked up an XL had Verizon had one in stock when I bought mine, but they only had the normal Pixel. No big deal, it's essentially the same size as my old phone and I like being able to use it one-handed with confidence that I won't drop it.

I personally found the XL to be a little better on battery life. The difference was not huge but was noticeable. It wasn't enough to make me keep it over the Pixel though. Only advantage that I felt the XL had was screen size. I sold the XL and kept the Pixel.
I normal always get bigger devices. And only because I couldn't get the XL I got the Pixel. So glad that happened. I love the size of the pixel. Feels great in hand.
For me I get 18hrs with 6 hours screen time on the XL and 16hrs with 5 hours screen time on the non-xl pixel.
I must have a problem! Had a 5X for 12 months and loved it's size. I've now had a Pixel, then an XL, then back to a Pixel, now back to an XL. I think 5.2" must've been perfect as I can't seem to settle on either!
I think what I'm really longing for is a 5" Pixel with a bigger battery.
