* * * Pixel 2 XL Review, Solo & Side by Side Pics / Comparisons with Huawei 6P * * *

[IMG="Pixel 2 XL"]https://www.gizbot.com/img/2017/09/googlepixel2pixel2xlwillusesnapdragon835qualcommisntpreppingsnapdragon836-06-1504664462.jpg[/IMG]

Here's my "real life" perspective on the 2 XL rather than an article from someone who gets paid / free product for their 'opinions'.

Phone Specs Comparison

*the pic ratio they used is a bit off making the 2 XL look much larger than the 6P. It isn't.

My 2 XL is a Google unlocked version, all black (no panda here) 64GB, carrier is Verizon (device isn't).

Ordered Oct 6th - Delivered Oct 27th

If you have specific 2 XL or side by side comparison requests or questions, (within reason), I'll do my best and post it .

These pics were with brightness at 70%, taken with Note 5, device frames are flush/even at the bottoms for size comparison.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
Good job! The pictures with different backgrounds don't really show anything since they're different images. The white images correspond to exactly what I found comparing my 6P side-by-side with five different P2XL's on display at different Verizon stores (screen much brighter overall and not much difference in any blue-shifting). I compared the same wallpapers side-by-side and did note that the P2XL's were a little less vibrant but that, we know now, is being negated by an upcoming patch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
Same display of each device at diff angles to give comparison of color variance (bluish, washout)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
So, immediate thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I'm not seeing the lack of display depth, or bluish tinting at angles that many are reporting.

The colors are different, but I would say more natural than washed out. I'll know more tomorrow when I take some pics outside, download some music, do some signal strength and wifi testing...

I was in a hurry to get these pics up for those worried about the blue tint when viewed at angles, and difference in color saturation, since the display seems to be the biggest deal breaker for many.

Nothing has made me think "I'm sending this thing back"...

Of course I've only had it about an hour, and haven't even switched the sim over yet.

It is slightly thinner side to side, but he display is higher and the screen kinda wraps around making it look like it's a solid piece of glass around the phone. Kinda hard to describe. Daylight pics will hopefully show this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bradputt:
I can't even see any blue tint on the last few angled pics.

Screen just looks perfect for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KennyG123:
Let us know if you notice any burn-in. I wasn't worried about blue tint on angles as much as I was about that and the less vivid display. I waste spend almost an hour a day on Dice with Buddies and would hate to see dice imprinted on the display permanently :silly:

Thanks [MENTION=4670411]Az Biker[/MENTION] for the first looks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] E30Nova:
Yeah I'm not seeing any blue tint at all.

Maybe you got a good one? Or all the blue tint ones are the bad ones.

Not sure at this point, lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
The only time I see a blue shift is if the screen is all white. WHO has an all white wallpaper? And it's minimal at best. Pics to come.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sixgunmojo:
IDK who uses white wallpapers, but apparently the is a big enough demand for several different white substratum themes. **Shudders violently**. Not that I'm looking for a new phone but could some of your future pictures have a lighter background, I wouldn't mind seeing the phones side by side in their entirety. TIA.

Have decided I'm not a fan of rounded screen corners and I hope the trend of tall, narrow, 18:9 phones die a quick and horrible death.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BIGWORM:
That's been the design standard for the a majority, if not, all of the flagships for 2017. 18:9/no 3.5mm might be the standard for a while longer, even going into the 2019, I bet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
White background, blue tint

Here's the 2 XL with the stock white wallpaper from above, and two 45-degree angles'

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matique:
Blue shift hasn't be a bother to me yet. Colors are fine too, unless you're comparing side by side. I work with color calibrated monitors for a few hours a day and the P2XL looks fine. I'm more worried about screen burn in though. Luckily Google RMA is pretty easy.

Long live the P2XL ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] leondestiny:
thank you for providing these pictures !

i have a request, could you please try to use a solid dark greyish (material) wallpaper on both and take pictures for us ?

would like to see if the pixel 2xl comes with any sort of banding !

i am aware of the many complaints about the (srgb pale looking colors) and the blue hue but neither of those would bug me, the screen is gorgeous.

the only thing i would be worried about is the banding (those ugly lines that appear /are visible when you have a solid background , e.g some dark grey /grey material substratum theme, and go to settings you will see those lines.)

i had that issue with my Moto Nexus 6 it was like that out of the package, did not use it for more than 3 months and went for the 6p (which i currently own and has no banding.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sixgunmojo:
Thank you. I hate to be a PITA, but what I was looking for was a side by side with the 6P under bright light so I could compare the Pixel to a known quantity. All I'm really getting an image of is the screens.

Like I said though, I'm not planning on getting a new phone any time soon (if I get the 6P battery death anytime soon and don't opt for battery replacement, I'd probably get the OP 5). I tend to use them until they suffer some sort of hardware failure that renders them useless as a phone, so it's not that big of a deal - enjoy your weekend.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KennyG123:
[MENTION=4670411]Az Biker[/MENTION] have you checked for any burn-in issues yet?

This from an Android Central reporter has me a bit concerned

[YOUTUBE]Rzt4rUPFYD4[/YOUTUBE]

I have also seen videos where people report no burn-in as of yet...so maybe it is batch related?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I was waiting a few days to let this thing have a chance to get burn in before reporting on it.

I see ZERO evidence of burn in at all. I'll attach a grey background pic (like the online reviewers are using)...

The way I see it, IF it were to get screen burn in or artifacts remained on the display, it's just a warranty replacement for a new 2 XL.... win-win (always look for that silver lining) :p

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
The 2 XL comes with a charging port 3.5mm adapter :D

There 's a pic of the accessories that come with the device in the OP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sixgunmojo:
Thanks for the bright light comparison pics. Those top and bottom bezels on the Pixel are ones I wished the 6P had, only "complaint" I have with the Nexus. Just really dislike that 18:9 screen.

Saw the adapter in the OP, unfortunately I occasionally have my phone charging while using the headphone jack. I am assuming that it is not an adapter that does both at once, if they even make those yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
I originally hated 18 9 when it came out, but I love how huge this phone is, yet how small it is. It's the same size as my OnePlus 5, but has a 10% larger display, less bezels AND front facing speakers.

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyfreak19:
I have the Dual Sim P8 Lite (not the 2017 one) ALE-L21.

So I have this as my one and only phone and it had gotten quite slow to the point where it would even stutter or freeze for a second or so. I then finally decided to flash a custom ROM since the 2nd sim slot was listed as fixed in most of the ROM's. After flashing the first time my sim didn't work, turned out I had to first flash to a B895 build with EMUI 4.1 before installing the custom ROM (LineageOS 14.1). After reflashing however my sim did work but it only gets 2G signals now (4G LTE capable SIM) even went to places where I got good 4G coverage. Along with some other issues that I've found for e.g The default Camera app does not record videos at all and the Footej app only does 720P right 1080P is kinda stuttery, The phone's touchscreen went weird on the lock screen once (Couldn't unlock it because of this) and I had to reboot it. So far I haven't even used the phone practically all that much since it's only been a day since I've flashed the firmware.

Now with that out of the way my main question. What is the best ROM that just works and is smooth? Which custom ROM should I go for? Should I just go back to the stock ROM? If so where can I find the latest up to date stock ROM for my phone?

I would've just searched through all the threads on my own but I've already spent a full day on this with still no clear answer. I would also like to provide feedback for any small issues. though I can't really stick with a ROM that only gets me 2G signals for my SIM as for the camera I can make do with that but would like the default one to get fixed as well as the youtube video playback bug.

Thanks in advance. :)

I cancelled my pixel 2 xl order and got the essential instead. Replacing a note 5 on Verizon. So far so good. Cam is slow but ok pic quality. Size is perfect. Love losing the crap vzw and Samsung apps. Headphone amp is surprisingly good thru the dongle. Three issues:

1. No wifi calling on verizon. Essential support says the phone can do it but Verizon hasn't approved it. No word on if or when.

2. Fitbit won't sync to phone

3. Only one case option and it covers the accessory pins which rules out audio or dock accessories. Don't care about 360 cam

Hello everyone! I recently just bought a G900F on sale as a phone to root and play with. I had another one in the past and never had this problem before. Anyway, earlier I installed twrp on the, and went to install the Lineage 14 zip for the klte version. as I'm 90% sure that's the model I have. After attempting to install the zip, twrp returned error 7. After doing some research online, it seems that this error means I'm flasing a zip not designed for my phone. But I'm not sure what other codename it could be. I'll attach my about device and the twrp log.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] usleronus:
Hey everyone, I've spent the last 5 hours trying to fix my phone and I'm not getting anywhere.

It gets to the second part of the starting up process, where it makes the sound as well and it just keeps glowing over and over.

I'm able to access the recovery mode, I've already tried clearing the partition cache & I've also done a factory reset.

I've tried flashing recovery.img & boot.img from B170 which I read somewhere, I've done that successfully but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I had this before and I fixed it by flashing system.img but for some reason it keeps giving me an error when I try to do it now: "error: cannot load 'system.img'"

Also flashing the bootloader doesn't seem to work:

"C:\Users\Leron\Desktop>fastboot flash bootloader twrp-2.8.7.1-p8.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending 'bootloader' (25880 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.547s]

writing 'bootloader'...

FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)"

I've read something about buying a card adapter but as I said, I have no money...

I tried to root my phone, bad f***ing move because for some reason it's impossible on the Huawei P8, excuse my bad language but im extremely frustrated i should have never done this. any help is welcome

thanks

Big mistake, no wonder it won't flash.

TWRP is NOT a bootloader but is a recovery, so therefore the correct fastboot command is:-

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eaglerugby04:
I have searched Reddit and XDA and can't seem to find a good comprehensive guide to switching my phone over to the AT&T firmware. I tried a few different firmware versions and tried flashing them via odin but was unsuccessful.

My phone is an unlocked Sprint S8+ running the sprint firmware. I have had a bunch of problems after switching to AT&T due to this. My phone keeps trying to activate on the sprint network, tells me to setup voicemail and WiFi calling doesn't work.

Even after flashing the AT&T image I still get the sprint startup screen. I have seen guides that say I need to change something via ADB, but those usually involve going to the unlocked image. I use Knox and Samsung pay on a regular basis so I am hesitant to try to much and risk tripping the fuse.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

SPL downgrade:

1. Copy the sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your phone

2. Run sspl-1.16-nike.exe from your phone

3. Flash one of this SPLs (SPL 1.12.0000 or SPL 1.16.0000)

4. After it's finished verify your SPL by holding down power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset or copy EnterBootloader.exe and Run it from your Phone!
