Who's still happy with their regular Pixel 2?

I love this thing, but my goodness it's tough not to be tempted by all these 2019 phones. They're all putting these damn bezels and tiny screen to shame.

Help!
 
If my Pixel 2 were any bigger, it would be cumbersome.
I have only two complaints:
1. Stupid volume controls
2. Lack of headphone jack
 
Pixel 2 owner here for 14 months.

Love the size
Love the camera
Love the simple and smooth UI

Not really tempted by any new phone yet. Take the S10's main feature, in screen fingerprint sensor. Is it cool, yes, is it radically different than my Pixel 2 being on the back, not really.
 
Had mine since release, still works as smooth as ever and see nothing that tempts me to change devices. I will take a look at the P4 whenever it is out but may wait till it drops in price a bit. I'm tired of being a slave to the latest and greatest. I'd rather not ever pay full price for a phone again. I see no reason to even consider upgrading till this phone is shot, perhaps by next year at this time , or not. ;-)
 
Gave my Pixel 2 xl panda to my wife, she loves it. I got me Pixel 3 xl white. I am good until pixel 4 xl
 
I was happy with my pixel 2 but wished it was the 2XL so I sold my 2 and bought a used a 2XL. I love it. I'm still slightly jealous of people with the 3XLs but I'm going to stick with this one til the 5 comes out. That's my goal anyway.
 
I had too many issues with the pixel 3... so I paid it off and sold it and bought the 2xl and couldn't be happier.
 
I've had my P2 for exactly 14 months now ... and the the only way I could like it more would be for it to be a Windows Phone. I just prefer the Windows ecosystem to the Google ecosystem and the Windows Phone had wireless charging YEARS ago. I love the size, the camera ... don't mind the bezels or lack of headphone jack ... the P2 is just a really nice phone. I'm not tempted at all by the P3, but will look hard at the P4. The XL just seems too large to me ... but I will look at it again. I'm just really happy with this phone!
 
You are right!

I removed the case yesterday and I forgot just how slender and beautiful this phone is, and holding it caseless is a joy.

I want to attempt to wait for the 4 but it's tough because I'm finding the screen a bit too small.

May see if I can nab a 2 XL for a good price on eBay to tide me over until later this year.

Guess there's no way to know if it would have those screen issues though, right?

Windows Phone was so good. I loved it and my Lumia 800.

What a damn shame WP has bowed out.

I'm gonna see if I can find a good price for the 2XL and hope to sell my very pristine 2 for a similar price.

2 xls are just great. I've had the 3xl and 2xl for a while before giving 2xl to my wife, could have gone either way.
 
I am still very much enamored with my 5" Google Pixel 2! Yup, the phones are tempting, that's for sure... But I'm just not ready to give up my Pixel 2 just yet!

That's exactly what I did. I ended up paying ~$50 more for a 128gb 2XL. Sold my 64GB P2 for $330 and bought a 2XL from Amazon when they were on sale for $350+ tax. No regrets at all!

Smart move, especially for the 128gb!!

Yep, I totally agree. Really liked that OS on a phone. Nokia Lumia to HTC M8 were two of my fav windows phones. Closest windows style launcher in the playstore is Square Home 3. If you haven't tried it and miss windows it's a great experience and very smooth. very customizable.

Quoting you again below:

I've tried several cases on my Pixel 2 and when I took the case off one day it just felt so nice and cool in hand that I never went back to any case. Caseless here for the past 8 months or more and lovin' it even more.

Yep, always naked at home and at work lol. Case otherwise. I have pixel 3 xl though and love how the phone feels naked!

Agreed. My white Pixel 2 is absolutely gorgeous and feels amazing in the hand caseless; but I'm too afraid to leave it caseless for very long.

I trip on floors. So I'm assuming that clumsiness would transfer to my phones inevitably. 🤣
