It's been flawless as far of operation , super fast everything seems to just work better.
It is IOS so your more limited to customization.

I sold my note 5 about a week after having the 7, when returning N7 there were no Note 5s available from Verizon. Man, what a fantastic device the note 7 was... Screen, Samsung Pay, Sidesync, SD for video capture, iris making it easier to use with 1 hand, etc. The freaking S pen - holy crap do I miss that. If you need to log into a computer which has an OS/environment that uses the mouse as a primary input device, the S pen is _incredible_. Also, the best PDF machine ever 
Battery was pretty decent as well. I also happen to like Gear VR and the theme store.
All that being said... The Pixel XL I've had for almost a month (while lacking in some areas - which are covered in extreme all over the review sites), as a whole: The Best Android Device Available.
The software experience is so far in the lead, every other device's user experience seems embarrassing in comparison. To me, it's the closest to competing with the best parts of iOS that Android has ever been. I prefer it more than any other mobile device to date.
Once you also factor in the supposedly unlimited image and video storage, live 24/7 chat/voice support (with the ability for you to allow them to see/control your phone while talking to the rep) - it's a rather solid (confidence in support, inducing) experience.
We should all hope that future Android devices strive to be more and more like the current Pixels.

Wow, what a great post and a great review of the Pixel! And the support for that line of devices is incredible! Thank you for posting!

I was kicking myself a little because I had paid off my Note 5 early so I could sell it to compensate for getting the Note 7 with the down payment

Yeah it's pretty much hit or miss. The initial update had better battery life and some apps didn't work for me either. With the latest update all apps (that I use) work but the battery is worse.

IIRC iPhones have a dead spot at 100%. The display stays there longer than it should. Regardless the battery is still nice. My Pixel XL does pretty awesome as well.

I would seriously consider the pixel xl if I wasn't committed to the IPhone , the limitations on iOS can be frustrating as much as I like the Stability of the phone
