What Do You DISlike About 2 XL?

No wireless charging...really the only thing keeping this from being a perfect phone for me

This one I don't get, why plug in pads everywhere when the battery is good for a day? Am I spoiled by Android Auto top ups?

Honestly, I went with the Smaller option, Because I knew LG made the XL and if it's the same panel at the V30 then a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

Don't like the curved screen edge. It makes the side bezels bigger than it has to be. Don't like the annoying blue tint. This is the deal breaker. The HTC made Pixel 2 does not have same issues. I wish HTC made the 2XL too.

I dislike that my stormtrooper 2 XL won't ship for another month.

 

[Large Hadron]

It's too large for me. That's why I ordered the smaller one.

And lack of headphone jack with good DAC and amp backing it up (I'm not bothered about lacking a headphone jack with indifferent output - I'll take USB-C over that).

How should I know what I don't like about it? I don't have it yet.

Well there are reviews and display units out there or maybe just a feature that is missing or you don't like.

The price

 

[dov1978]

No wireless charging
No dark mode/theming
Poor manual camera settings
No 2nd camera (portrait mode should suffice)


Sure they're minor issues but they'll probably become more and more frustrating over time.

my only wish is th ebezels were more in-line with the lack of size the other flagships now have and possibly the the rounded glass edges, not sure what benefit those bring and i worry the screen will be easier to crack if the bumper on the case doesnt protrude out far enough

Fer Chrissakes! Now we gotta worry about e-bezels, too?! What is this crap?!

Yeah bezels at the sides of the phone are so small these days, manufactures came up with black bars at the edges of the screen to add extra electronic bezels (e-bezels) to make phones look more traditional. You can turn them on or off depending on how much bezels bother you.
You can find it in Settings> display> e-bezels > then either check the box for on/off

I don't like...

1. The return to the 6" screen that I've missed since the Nexus 6
2. The return of dual front-firing stereo speakers
3. High water/dust resistance
4. Google giving me more in trade-in for my Pixel XL than I could sell it for on eBay

Yep, I don't like these changes at all. All combined, they made me upgrade a year earlier than I had planned.

I'd have to get the phone in my hands first before I could say. That's always worked out better for me in the past.

 

[Morty2264]

It's too big for me, but a beautiful device, for sure! I was kind of hoping for it to be the same or similar to the original Pixel XL (I know, I'm probably in the minority here!); as I want the 2XL's battery size lool. Although, I've heard because of the new Snapdragon, both the 2 and 2XL have good battery life.

how is that any different from plugging in charging cables everywhere? It's just slightly more convenient to not have to plug the cable into the phone.

Also I dislike that everyone calls the Black and White version the Panda version...it's a penguin damnit! Look at the orange button! I don't see orange on Pandas!

Good point. Wow. I feel like I've been terribly offensive to Pandas.
