[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nabbed:
1) "Curve display is NOT practical."

Yes, it is. I used S6 Edge and Note 7, and the edges were beautiful and functional.

"When you are viewing media in horizontal position the top and bottom curves are cut off and there is glare on those curves. Secondly, the side black bars kick in, so those pixels are useless."

I have tablets and a desktop to view media. I only read webpages/flipboard on my phone, do email etc. Why the hell would I wanna view media on a phone? If I ever view media on a phone, it's a 3 min video linked from a news article, of which I only view 30 seconds before I feel like I'm bothering people around me.

2) "Pixel XL has best display with brightness in sunlight too. I played with it too. S8 isn't that brightest from my experience."

gsmarena:

S8 - 4.768 - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8-review-1603p3.php

XL - 4.164 - http://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_xl-review-1513p3.php

3) "That certification means nothing Lol."

Yeah, tell that to Displaymate - http://newatlas.com/displaymate-gives-samsung-s8-display-record-high-grade/48781/

4) "No device can't be water "proof". You clearly need to learn some physics and chemistry here. Device is water resisted for certain length and for a limited time. Dust resistance is only rated."

I said explicitly IP68. Yeah, I clearly need to learn some physics and chemistry here, considering I already have a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry. Yeah, thanks for the clarification, science guru!

5) "This Grolla Glass 5 is just bs. All of these version scratch easily. In real world, it breaks and scratches easily."

That is just patently wrong. GG5 is actually the most durable glass Corning has produced to date - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pvZ7y6djKU

6) "Wireless charging is only useful for few people. Pixel XL charges pretty fast. When I had S8, it was charging fast, but not that fast :). G6 charged faster tbh."

You don't like wireless charging? I know! People who don't have it always dislike it!

7) "You get 128GB model for Pixel; which is faster and better."

You don't like SD card expansion? I know! People who don't have it always dislike it!

8) "Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, S8 has the WORST camera and quality pictures. Many thorough reviewers have shown this already. Pixel XL with HDR takes BEST detailed low light pictures, and any other lighting conditions. The colours are clear and more real. S8 saturates and washes out the colours. The pictures look cartoonish. Pixel XL lacks OIS, but it is the best camera currently, even S8 can't beat it :). Pixel has better sharpness."

That is just patently wrong. Just look for yourself - http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=5&idPhone1=8345&idPhone2=8161&idPhone3=8523

9) " there are no Bluetooth 5.0 devices and when they are available, the higher price won't justify many common users to purchase it. So there is no use of it."

Are you planning on keeping the device for more than 6 months?

10) "Always on Display is on Pixel, it can be added. There is the downside of battery drain."

You hit it right on the head, sport! Battery drain! Note 7 had an extra drain of 0.5% battery per hour, or 12% per day with Always On Display. That's manageable. The hack solutions you propose, if I'm not mistaken, are much more severe.

11) "Lol, only select cell phone providers can take advantage of LTE; 4CA. Maybe one carrier in USA and other world's country. Pixel has LTE; 3CA, which is great. Also, the amount of data that will be gone given how much bandwidth is allowed. So not much advantage."

You don't like fast LTE? I know! People who don't have it always dislike it!

12) " Not everyone, majority of people care about Samsung pay tbh. It's still a minority of people."

I loved Samsung Pay. If you want a cool pay system, that's where it's at. If you don't want a cool pay system, just pick any other phone.

13) "This is the most flawed and useless feature ever. Also, there are side-effects to your retina while using this. Again, it is for stupid sheeps to buy into this type of security."

You don't like Iris scanner? I know! People who don't have it always dislike it!

14) "Lol, any serious person would never use these heart rate monitor. They are never accurate. Plus, your health data is stored into samsung servers and such."

I am sorry, but that is one of the dumbest things you have said today. No serious person would ever use a heart rate monitor? They are never accurate? Are you living in alternative fact universe?

15) "This desktop experience is not even ready. There are many bugs and apps not working properly. "

TBH, I don't know much about it. So, I'll give you this one. But only the benefit of the doubt, as I know you have not tried this feature, as neither did I.

16) BIXBY!

"Pixel XL is great phone. I never had battery issues. I never had network issues. I never had call drops or signal drop issues. I have been samsung user since S4 days and let me tell you one thing. It is a piece of crap device. I had serious signal issues with WiFi, Cellular Network, slow speeds, lagging, and crap battery. The current S6 device, I have ZERO LTE bars. I had dropped calls, and couple of times I can't even hear the other person's voice. There are times when I needed to make a call , but couldn't. S6 has a known weak network signal issue. I can't even get Wifi @ 5GHZ on S4, S6, and same issue with S8 lol. Even 3T device could easily connect to 5GHZ wifi at the same location with full bars. Pixel XL had the best reception and signal strength. S4, S6, and S8 are the worst. "

Guess what this acronym stands for - Y A F O S.
