Nov 8 is my ship date now too. But why am I getting my pixel 2 xl after my wife is getting her iphone x lol ugh!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spencelk:
Same. Both mine shipped today. :) (Ordered 10/15 as the site changed from 11/1 to 11/8 - in the time from starting the order to confirmation hitting my inbox)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
Verizon seems like they are shipping quicker than Google. Glad to see more people in here getting their shipping notifications! I'm also in the boat of deciding on a screen protector. That thread gave me a headache though. So many choices!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2jdmbfan:
Wish I could order from Verizon but I am not a current customer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I picked up a zagg temporarily and I'm honestly liking it. Sits flush, no bubbles and no issues recognizing my touches. I'm happy with it and the warranty
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
Will it fit with one of those clear cases and is easy to install? Wait which one? There are so many ones on Zagg. It's like shoe shopping but no fun!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I have one of the incipio cases on right now, cheapest they had there, and it fits just fine. I honestly had the guy at the Verizon store install it but it looked hella easy. Clean the screen, put it on, and pull the tabe to take the top cover off. I could have done it myself but I always end up with bubbles because I'm impatient.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] travblue:
Lol that happened to me too it started off saying Nov. 1 and by the time I was done with the whole pre-ordered process it witch to Nov 8
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
Probably good news for Google Store 64gb people. Credit card charged, option to update shipping address and cancel removed. Up next: Shipping.

Coincidentally, or perhaps not I contacted a CSR about the delivery window being missed. I only talked to the store CSR, but he said since the queue is taking longer than normal he'd escalate to the shipping department via email instead. Not sure if that made any impact or not. I try to be exceptionally kind to customer service.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] robstunner:
Same here. I was in the 11/6 ship date and I have a charge processing on my card, no option to cancel the order. This actually works out great for me because im still within the return deadline for my black pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sav_Droid:
Ordered 128 Panda during announcement 10:23am PDT. Original ship date was 11/13. Moved up and got shipped on 10/31 ....received yesterday. Yay me.

Phone is great. Blue shift isn't perceptible. BTW, manufacture date is 9/20.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Just ordered another Panda through Google this morning. 128gb. My first order was for 64GB. 128 ships 12/4. 64GB ships 11/20. See which one ships first. With some of the pandas going out earlier than stated, maybe 128GB will go out first and I'll just cancel original order lol.

Edit: Interesting note. I checked my Google financing account and there's a pending charge charge for the order I placed this morning right away the original order I placed on October 4th never had a pending charge. Haha
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hrkahn:
26 days until I will supposedly have mine, it's killing me.

64GB Panda still says not shipping until Nov. 20!?! ugh I have so long to wait :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] santanac:

glad I am not alone
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkExistence:
I have to wait till 12/25 for it to ship out, if even, thats christmas day.. :( :( I am being murdered from the inside out D:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] symphara:
I missed the initial order period and now it's out of stock. I subscribed to both the Google Store and Best Buy, nothing yet...

If Google isn't quick enough to sell me a phone I'll get an iPhone X :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
They are in the store at least 5 times a day with Dec 5 dates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tweiss3:
I've checked my local Verizon, and I could walk in and get a black Pixel XL 2 that day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke:
Ordered my Panda 64GB on Oct 4 at 10:30am... supposed to ship on Nov 20 (sadface)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] symphara:
I have to order online, am not in the US (but I have friends who travel often and can bring it over) so I need an unlocked one.

I want the panda version too, I much prefer it to the black (I find the orange button irresistible), plus my wife got the black so confusion would abound if I had the same colour...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] idkwhothatis123:
Panda 128gb back in stock. shipment 4-5 weeks.

I still cant believe that Google wouldn't see the demand for that color option.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkExistence:
Not in the US *sigh* only option is google store :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
I cancelled one just last night.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
Got my Panda XL. Had it 22 hours. And dead spot on the side of the screen. Smh. Sending back today for round 2.

Some might say it's not noticable. Yes it is. Lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] idkwhothatis123:
I cant really see it in the picture, but when you spend a grand on a phone, everything is noticeable lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
Zoom in to the edge of the screen. By my finger. There is a greyish spot. Sure barely noticable. But it's there. I sent it to Google they confirmed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
PST or EST

Are you east or west coast?

wondering if it matters
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurule92:
​

I really hope i dont wait this long to have something like that happen.. how long for turn around?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
Email says 10-14 days. But I'm assuming that's shipping on both ends. However the place is literally 30 miles from my house. So they will have the device tomorrow. I'm guessing we'd/Thurs next week
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
So tempted to cancel panda and just get the black which would ship in a couple days according to the store.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] symphara:
My wife got her black 128Gb XL very fast too. I don't understand the imbalance in colors. Have they made too few white ones because of a failure to anticipate demand, or is there something special about the white coating (somehow doubt it)? Or is the orange button so challenging to manufacture?

It boggles the mind that Google of all companies cannot get, year after year, their act together and make enough phones, and sell them in enough markets. This is frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
Finally charged and can no longer edit my order on Google store!!!

64GB ?/? Ordered Oct 4th 10:20 PDT Original ship date Nov 6th Still hasn't shipped yet but a charge is hopefully a good sign!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Goatshaver:
Just got my 64gb Panda through Verizon. I want to love this phone but I do get a blue tint with just and slight tilt (25 degree angle), and I've also noticed the touch sensitivity is off and randomly doesn't register my touch.

Gonna give it a couple days to see if anything changes. If not it's going back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djmiked:
Received my 128g panda today. Order from Google/ project fi. So far so good. Slight blue tint from looking at an angle but I would have never noticed if I wasn't looking for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurule92:
I ordered panda on oct 26 and got charged today from vzw. Order went from pending to processing. Idk where you ordered yours from but you already waited this long. Its gotta be close
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blu8503:
Yeah I talked to Google Support last night, in order to change order my trade in would be canceled and I would loose out on the free home mini. I guess I am waiting this out. Verizon seems to be getting them out with a priority. I ordered from Google store which seems slower. I won't hold my breath for it to arrive before end of the month....yuck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hrkahn:
if you order from VZW today the phone will be here Monday. So tempting

actually i would have gotten it tomorrow but I discovered Verizon has to push the updates so that was a big no for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] travblue:
Just got this bad boy and I love it! Blue shift is not a issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] idkwhothatis123:
Lol I couldn't wait the 6 weeks to get mine, so I ordered the Just Black model and a Panda styled skin. Way faster.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
I'm there with ya. Mine should have shipped the 23rd from Google. They have no answers. Very frustrating but once it lands it will be worth it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying_Hellfish:
Me too but I'm being stubborn and want that free home mini!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
Another good reason to wait it out. I'm thinking they sent back the first units for the screen issues and we r waiting on the next shipment. Verizon probably already had their stock and didn't want to delay. Probably wishful thinking but whatevs. Waiting here like [emoji15]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ryancell:
Mine wasn't suppose to ship until Nov 13, but I just got charged 10 days earlier and can't edit my shipping! Here is to hoping its going out early. I forget browsing the posts if the charge date = the ship date?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tweiss3:
Arrived today. Verizon phone has zero Verizon markings on the phone or the box. I love this phone. I'm pleasantly surprised, was hoping for good, but this is great. And the phone is absolutely beautiful.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] twiz0r:
i received mine today...unfortunately the blue shift is extremely real with mine. i don't care right now - I'll wait awhile and see if Google/LG does anything and go from there. my god this phone is BEAUTIFUL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow. So hoping the screen is beautiful!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] koriflame:
Mine arrived yesterday. I think the screen looks great despite all "the sky is falling" posts and stories about it. Then again, I've never expected top notch quality while using it in a way that'd be considered an edge case. (full screen light gray image, viewing at obnoxious angles, or having the brightness set to 0).

I did notice one thing though, they set Vibrant Colors to on by default for me. Probably trying to appeal to more people out of the gate.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
So my Panda arrived. So far all is good! The screen is beautiful I do not have any issues with a blue tint or dead spots. Yes mine too is set on vivid colors by default but when I toggle I can't tell the difference between them. It's a beautiful phone- don't listen to the grumpy complainers. I am pleased!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Icyou:
What about camera on taking a picture for dark blue/black object? Does it look like what it is your eye looking at it? Well mine look like it is not enough color or anime color, perhaps it a cheap camera on my phone.

Edit: my hardware rev is 10, where it located at system/about phone/model
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Candylicks:
Here's my remote and my blanket. Sexy I know. Lol. I haven't taken many pictures.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
What does the hardware revision info mean?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Icyou:
The highest is better like rework for performance and quality
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkExistence:
Just wondering if people are planning to use their panda pixel caseless / with a bumper case? Pre-ordered the dbrand grip because that looks awesome, but worried about the white back staining? Anybody have experience with that? This will be my first white phone haha. Other then that panda is definitely the nicer colour ;p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
My 6p Nexus is white aluminum also and it still looks perfect. I don't think there is anything to worry about
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emixamsonaz:
I'm going to use it with a skin, white and black just to match the panda look :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SLitton:
Late November

I ordered Oct 4th before the announcement was over, 128 gb, my date all along has been to ship Nov 20, Delivery Nov 27-29.

Awesome!! When did you pre order it ? I hope I get it by the end of the week ,I pre order the panda October 4th at Best buy,but still no word from them ,never again!! Best buy sucks !!

Samsies
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] armandocorti:
What about the colors with the mew saturated mode?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
I actually just ordered it 2 weeks ago on the Verizon business site since we have a business account.

I turned on saturated but I can't seem to really notice a difference between that and my other one side by side. I personally have had no screen issues whatever. I love the the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sgvjon:
Ah.. I placed mine at 10:20am. Phone has been amazing. I use it for emails, news apps, heavy gamer, fb apps installed, streaming music + Netflix and battery has been far greater than the 6p& 1 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
Well my Google play 64gb penguin order details just updated........to delayed! This is facking ridiculous. Supposed to be delivered by the 27th.

Usually I am a patient man but this looming November 20th Ship date after ordering on 4 October at 1030 PDT is starting to get to me .....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2kbugleung:
I should be receiving my panda 64GB late November, but I have cancelled it several days ago. I worry on the screen issue. I want to wait until 2018 for a safe quality one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] minhgi:
Yeah. I order my Panda on launch day and nothing have move yet. I starting have the nag feeling to just cancel and look for a different phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
I'll get my second panda tomorrow. Hopefully this is a good one!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flexia32:
When was your original Ship date?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
October 23
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] motoridersd:
Got my 64 GB Penguin on Saturday. It's a Verizon version I bought from a friend because my original 128 GB Google Store order is not scheduled to ship until end of November. Screen is perfect.

I want to use it without a case, but, I am soo nervous about putting it on surfaces. I always end up caving in and putting cases on my phones. I ordered a Midnight case from Google to try it out, but really want Caseology to release a Waterfall case for the 2 XL. Loved it on my OG XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke:
didn't realize you were over on XDA... small world i guess :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jsarino:
Yeah, been here for years since back when I had the Nexus One (well, still have) and Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I lurk far more than I post, but cool to see you're over here too! :cool: Tell the missus I said hello!

I take it you picked up a Pixel 2 XL panda?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FarReach:
I feel conflicted. I'm on Project Fi and haven't even been able to order a Panda yet due to them being out of stock. With some people who have already ordered that have a wait time all the way in December I wonder if it's worth holding out for. My 6P has seen better days and it's definitely time for an upgrade.

I could get the black one or go to Xfinity mobile and nab a Note 8 but honestly, after reading real day to day usage reviews, I would much rather have the Pixel. Not to mention after spending around $1000 I should get the one I actually want. I'm pretty disappointed in Google for not planning ahead for the demand of it. None of the reps I talk to have any idea when it'll be back in stock either...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Panda/Penguin have been sporadically in stock here and there. You kinda have to get lucky and check the Google store page A LOT. I ordered a 64GB Penguin on launch on 10/4.....11/20 ship date. On 11/2 I ordered a 128GB Penguin with ship date of 12/4. We'll see which one gets here first. I'll keep the one with the better screen :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FarReach:
Thank you for your response. I like your plan it's brilliant :) I haven't been checking the actual Google store as much as I have been checking in the Project Fi app. Supposedly they'll notify me when they get more in, but now I'm thinking I'll start checking the Google store now... Multiple times a day :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke:
will do, and yes, ordered from El Goog on launch day... playing the waiting game now :mad:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Voicebox:
The alerts on the Fi store didn't work for me. I checked off the "notify me" for a Pixel or Pixel XL last year and never received any notification. Can't recall which one I had asked to be notified of. Then I went to the Fi store one day to see what they did have, and they had whatever model I had signed up for, because they had everything in stock. But by then I didn't actually want it at full price. I was just checking if they had dropped prices.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Caveman419:
I ordered the Penguin 128Gb on October 4th with a ship date of Oct 23rd. Google cancelled my order on October 10th without any notification to me at all. Was told that by Google that it was a problem with their financing partner, Synchrony. Contacted Synchrony and they said it was on Google's end.

I have re-ordered again (12/4 ship date), but I see the same symptoms of the first one happening again...Pending charge disappeared from Synchrony after 5 days - They say that is the longest that they will hold it. Google confirms pending payment is gone, but says they will try the charge again when the device ships. I just received a Black 128GB that I might keep or ship back in 10-12 days. I wanted to see if there was any real problems with the connection between Google & Synchrony. Google is really dropping the ball.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Voicebox:
I don't know for sure, but from the posts on the XL shipping thread, no one seemed to have issues with the financing happening weeks after the order. I'm going to say Google is just lying because more than one person said that Google acknowledged their system had cancelled orders way back. The caveat is I recall some people did have problems, but most seemed to be actual problems with the credit approval in the first place.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jsarino:
Mine was delivered this afternoon, my wife signed for it. Bad news is I'm still at work, so I'm itching to open that phone up tonight!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Are u outside US
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
I'm in the US. Texas to be exact. My guess is someone canceled and it became available. Still shows out of stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
So after you order it went out of stock, yea prbly someone cancelled. Im tempted to cancel one of my orders and get a black 128 since that says ships by 10/22 and the 64gb said 2 to 3 weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
I'm sticking to my original order on 10/4 for 64GB Panda. Ships 11/20. I'm hoping google was REALLY conservative with estimates or maybe they just didn't manufacture that many Panda units for launch..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] detritu5:
Me?' of course
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Goatshaver:
This is the first phone I'm actually excited about in a while and had to go with the panda version. I looked at the LG V30, but I want that stock Android on my phone, plus I'm a photo nerd and I'm super excited about the camera on this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Yea i guess really the pixel xl 2 is a lg v30 with stock Android of course minus the dual cam and wireless charging
