Google Pixel 2 XL 6 YEARS Later: STILL Great!

Is the Google Pixel 2 XL the best smartphone for under £100. I bought one and i love it. I've added it to my google pixel collection.

Still using Pixel 2xl and recently updated to Android 13 with Pixel Experience, it´s just perfect

Still holds its own in photography. Especially in portrait and night sight mode.

The squeeze for assistance was a great feature

I have had mine for 5 years now and it is still smooth as butter. I love it.

Great video my friend! I am using a PIxel 7 Pro right now and li, ke it. Even though Pixeltched to the Pixel Fold for one month I was looking forward to my 7 Pro the whole time. You just earned yourself another follower!

My favorite phone of all time still have mine and use it regularly

best pictures I've ever taken on a phone! people would always comment on how good they were! I went Team iPhone (currently own 11 Pro Max) and still miss my Pixel 2 XL to this day

I tried replacing the battery at a repair shop but they can't liable if the screen breaks when getting to the battery.

Great review! Keep up doing the reviews!

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I still keep my Pixel 2 XL in my pocket solely as a camera. Google just did some crazy wizardry on their camera app on this phone that they never seemed to replicate on future Pixels.

I still use my pixel 2xl and just recently ordered a 7pro. I just love Google phones! Always a great deal with them!

I remember when this phone was new. I actually didn't like it at the time and went with a Motorola. When the Pixel A series phones came out, I got a pixel 3a and had a pixel ever since. I miss the fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone that also had built in gestures. I currently have the pixel 6a and will use it until I drop it and break the screen. Long live the pixel A series 😊

Rear finger print scanner every day. Under screen are awful.
My oneplus 6 came out of a drawer recently having not been used for about five years and the finger print still worked first time. I'm lucky if I get a week out of the under screen ones.

Still use it till now 2023, great phone

Still using the 4a5g since launch, still works fine but the battery and it stutters on more occasions now

i always loved the design of this phone in photos, i was too young to by one myself when it came out, but i feel like it was a sweet spot of design and utility.
even if the screen didn't get to the edges like with phones nowadays, those bezel had true stereo speakers, both pointed at you, which is something you can't do now that the screen covers most of the front of phones today.
i bought myself a pixel 6a because i think it reflects the panda style of the 2xl with the camera bar, while giving me a smaller phone with some more updates to come, and I'm happy with it :)

I hated my 2XL the weak screen, loose thumbprint scanner, first power button to actually fail since the S3 (for me) no wifi repeating, insane amounts of wierd limitations with different companies and banks, it felt slow after the first 4months of having it, the wifi and signal antenna was so weak (now this is gonna get nit picky) i swear the charge port clogged more than it does now on my S10
That being said, actually decent Batt, love the camera software and the useful ease of access (squeeze for assistant, slide down thumbprint for the hot bar, keeping your hand for constantly moving from the top to bottom)

If you are not from London or Manchester i wouldn't recommend, outside of the bug cities this phone is close to useless, even on my home street sometimes couldn't make calls without going outside... and i aint in some rural farm land or anything either

[karthiknarayanan]

This is the phone that turned me into a google fanboy lol!

This video, make me wanna reach that Pixel 3xl in the bottom of my drawer 😮😉 👍
