So, got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday. My totally rose tinted review so far: it's pretty fucking great. ;)
Coming to this from a 6P is night and day with regards to screen and battery (though the 6P's battery has been self destructing daily at around 35%). I've been liking the feel of the 2XL in hand, and the UI just FLIES.
I was pretty impressed with the transfer tool. It moved over apps and data without totally overhauling the initial aesthetic of the phone out of the box, and if I wasn't a long time android guy and was someone new to the ecosystem that new tool would be a great thing for guidance. The screen -- yeah it tints blueish, doesn't seem too bad to me frankly. I really don't notice it when I use the phone on the natural color setting (or any of them tbh), I've used OLEDs so much that I'm totally used to blue tints of some kind. Nobody I've shown the thing to so far has even seen it until I point it out.
Again still getting stuff set up and installed (curse you, google authenticator not syncing data to new devices), but so far so good. Again, rose-tinted impressions of a first half day.
