[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
I'm with a huge doubt, which one to buy? an OP5T or a GP 2 XL, what I most want is to have a good battery life. But I've been thinking and looking for forums for 3 days but I do not decide. I would be very grateful for your answers and recommendations.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rfuser:
I have the note 8 and the pixel 2 xl { just recieved}

For you it's what's in your budget.

The pixel can be double the cost of the op5t.

I wanted the pixel for the stock andriod experience, camera, and speakers.

My note has wayyy better features but I like the simplicity of the pixel 2 xl

Op5t is the most practical
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Don't forget the camera. Pixel 2 has the best camera.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
I come from an S7 so if I go for the OP5T I would miss the camera, but I am willing to live without a good camera, but I want a good battery life. Pixel 2 XL has a higher percentage of battery but I do not know if it will be enough to be better than the OP5T in battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
Well, I almost do not care much about the camera for now, I think I'll decide for the one with the longest battery life.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Most of the new Android phones with SD835 get great battery life. I had the LG V30, and holy cow that thing got off the charts outstanding battery life. Best I've ever had, like 9h Screen On time. And I heard the S8+, OPO5, and other phones also got great battery. I would think the Pixel 2 XL will get slightly better battery life than the 5t
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KevTN:
I struggled with buying the 2xl for several weeks. I am really happy with it and glad I went with it. I thought the same thing about the camera but my mind has changed big time! A REALLY good camera.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wakers:
I've just picked up a 2 XL and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not, what I really like is the camera and the speakers, the size, the build, what I don't like is the software (let me explain) I love the smoothness and speed and stock android, what I don't like is Google have gone a bit like apple, you can't even change the font without root (from what I understand only had the phone a day so not 100% on that ) coming from a U11 I'm already missing the theme store and the customisation that offers, so its left me in a dilemma to keep this phone or not, really tempted to send it back and get a U11 plus, but man it's buttery smooth and the battery life seems amazing I've used it a lot today...

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
The only reason I was considering a Pixel 2 XL was for the better camera. Aside from that, I don't think the huge price jump from the 5T to the 2 XL is worth it.

Both phones have the same internals and you don't have to worry about potential blue tint shift/screen burn-in issues with the 5T.

Also, if you're big on flashing, the dev community is usually a lot more populated for OnePlus devices!

Overall though, aside from a mediocre camera, I have no complaints about my 5T, I'm loving it and I'd definitely recommend it over the 2 XL :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] stu5797:
While the OnePlus 5t is a great phone, I sold it because I just think the LG v30 is the best phone out now.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] darbylonia:
Well, maybe the best phone out for *you*. Everyone has specifics they're looking for. LG V30 is a great phone, and so is OP5T, and my preferences for me, I need a solid development community.:silly:
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Elsydeon:
I was torn between this exact decision as well myself, given how many hardware issues the Pixel 2 XL is suffering from. Was test driving the 5T the past 2 weeks vs. my current Huawei Mate 9, and in the end, I decided to return the 5T and just ordered the Pixel 2 XL. The new discount Google has on the Pixel 2's helped to drive that decision. Pretty much came entirely down to the camera. The 5T for its price is literally perfect IMO from an overall hardware and software experience, except for the darn camera. I spent a lot of days comparing pics between the Mate 9 and 5T, and there are clearly some shots where the 5T had trouble with in the fine edge details, turning things into that infamous oil painting mess. It's funny because I typically don't obsess over the camera so much, except that when I need a camera, I REALLY need it to capture memorable moments, and I want it to reliably produce the best instant snap picture quality possible, without me having to second guess it. That aside, the 5T's software and hardware has been rock solid stable, insanely fast, and the battery life has just been amazing, easily 2 days for me with regular usage.

The Pixel 2 XL is by far the most I've ever spent on a phone, and I skipped last year's Pixel precisely because of its price. I was on a Nexus 6P till this past summer, when its battery issues finally got too bad...now that was one phone I loved dearly. I've never kept a phone longer than 6 months till the 6P, which I bought at launch and kept for a year and a half. So here's to hoping I can live with the Pixel 2 XL's flaws for me to love everything else about it. I really don't want to ever go to a Samsung if I can avoid it, as I hate bloatware phones, not to mention everybody and their dog has a Samsung/Apple nowdays.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] techlogik:
I need a development support phone. That means bootloader unlocking to not break safetynet and run custom ROMs/Kernels, not just rooting and breaking stuff like Samsung. V30 LG isn't worth the $800, and V30+ certainly not worth the $900+ IMHO.

For the money, I would expect more from them all. My only gripe with Samsung, no Bootloader unlocking for US phones...so, it checks all the boxes I have and need.

Otherwise, 5T is a really great phone for the money....only complaint is lack of SDCard, but can run USB-OTG and get around that, wireless charging would be nice. Otherwise, bang for the buck, dev support, can't be beat the 5T.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] iamterence:
After having the 5T for some 2-3 weeks now, I would say get the Pixel 2 XL ONLY because better camera and Android updates. But ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. Meaning you won't starve yourself or anything if you can get it. If you can truly afford it, you might as well get it.

With that being said, the 5T isn't a bad device at all. OxygenOS is basically stock Android some you coming from a Nexus device, like myself, you'll feel right at home. Especially if you've used LineageOS or some other custom ROM. On the flip side, you'll be stuck on Nougat 7.1.1 for a little bit. As I've mentioned before, coming from a Nexus device, whenever I heard about new Android updates I immediately flashed it, because I could. Because it was available to us like that. With the 5T, I had to switch gears and rely on ROMs to get back to the latest and greatest, or just stay on the current version of OOS. Which isn't bad by any means. I would've been happier if the 5T had shipped with at least 7.1.2 on board, because there's some functionality there that makes the previous version bearable. 7.1.1., not so much. But it is what it is. Substratum themes don't really work too well either.

But that's mostly cosmetic stuff. So, again, if you can actually afford it, get the P2XL. But if you wanna be SMART about your money, get the 5T. Aside from a lacking camera and lack of immediate Android OS updates, there's truly not much you're missing out on with the 5T compared to the P2XL. Outside of Pixel-exclusive features, that is.

Did you know that the price of Google Pixel 2 XL has fallen by nearly 45% because people are not purchasing it and many who purchased are returning it back within the refund period of 10 days given by Amazon. Need I say more?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Here in Canada, after tax, the Pixel 2XL is roughly $1275 (as of this posting). The total I paid for the OnePlus 5T was $730 after the student discount and tax. That's still about a $500+ jump in price, still not worth it for me at least.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
I really don't have a lot of options. Coming from a bootlooped 5X (reason why I will never a LG phone) and really wanted that stock feel with lots of custom development. Only choice for me was 5T and Pixel 2, and sadly Pixel 2 doesn't sell where I am.

And I really don't care that much about wireless charging, camera or the 1080P display. Quite an easy choice for me.

I really think it's worth it.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] chinkster:
the oneplus 5t camera is its biggest weakness. i really hate the camera and i dont even use the camera that much. coming from a samsung S6, even the S6 takes a fat pile of dookie all over the 5T camera
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
Well, I think it's an amazing phone for the price and everything it offers, but, how bad is the camera?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
So brother, in a few words you recommend me for pixel 2 xl? If this the possibility of saving money I do it (and I go for the 5t) but if I really have such a bad experience with the camera OF 5T. Well, I think I would go by PIXEL XL2 . (I come from the s7 and I guess the 5t will have a very bad camera)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
The camera isn't necessarily bad, but isn't good either. It's just an average camera in my opinion. If you're not super picky on getting super clean shots then I think you'd be more than okay with it
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
the read the comments, the camera is much worse than I think. And now I have been planted a great doubt.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] fuarkgl3:
The camera is not that bad. You have gcam port too anyways...

Pixel is a scam imo
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
So the 5t camera is very very bad. I got used to the camera of my s7, but I thought that the 5t could be on par.

Is it really bad camera?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] iamterence:
The camera isn't bad, it's just not super great. Other cameras are better for sure, but that's what you get for more money.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MegaBabu:
With what camera could you compare brother? maybe with my s7? best? worst? at par?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] peteus:
I hope my perspective helps your decision. I'm smartphone power user. I don't play games but I am multitasking a lot. Whatever I can do on the move using the phone, without turning my PC or laptop, I'll do it. E.g. 3 browsers installed with around 10+ pages on each, diverse google drive docs running scripts, 350 apps, you name it, it's on my phone. So long I can remember, I was looking for the best phone with the best community (phone customization and fixes), and therefore switching between Google Nexus/OnePlus phones. I wanted the best, regardless of price so I was ready to go with Pixel XL2. Until I saw the screen issue. If you are looking at XL2 from an angle, any angle, like have it on your desk, table, sofa, screen will turn bluish. That alone was enough for me to look for better phone. Another thing to keep in mind is that Pixel XL2 has only 4 GB of ram and that would not be enough for me. I went with OnePlus 5T and I don't regret it a bit. Yes, camera is not as good, no OiS, no optical zoom either, and I'll do with Gmod camera or open camera. Can't have everything, I guess.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] fracman:
I had the pixel 2 xl. Couldn't stand that screen issue and lack of development. Grabbed a 5t. No regrets. It's a better looking phone and performs exactly the same. Camera not as good but I don't care about that for $400 cheaper. No regrets here.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BigBrosMo:
I think "camera" is overated. 95% of the pictures I take are selfies or for fun or to remember something... Not to blow up and frame or enter into photo competitions. The camera is great... Fast, more than good-enough quality etc for my use. Everyone is different, but if you're gonna pony up an extra 4 or $500 just for a better camera.... Then buy a camera. In my opinion anyway. The whole package is what sold me on the 5t.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Paz9:
i have a mate 10 pro and im considering getting a 5T 8gb/126gb version

i like stock android, EMUI seems alittle laggy, sometimes the phone will lag (momentarily) and the lack of dev support is off-putting as i love running my scripts.

the camera on the m10p is great, my only fear is that i'd regret hopping on the 5T bandwagon

has anyone had both phones and can give me some feedback on the pros and cons of them both?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Elsydeon:
I actually made up my mind and ended up returning my 5T. I just received my Pixel 2 XL yesterday. Right off the bat, it's clear that the 5T actually has a better screen from a color perspective. The Pixel 2 XL's screen is noticeably sharper, due to the higher resolution. But it just looks washed out right from the start, and it doesn't help that the brightness starts off low enough that you can see the reported graininess issue that appears on white backgrounds...which most of the initial setup screens are. Yes, there's a noticeable blue tint when looking off angle, but honestly, I checked into that more to check that it's there. For me, it's truly a non-issue, because the angles that I view the screen at aren't even remotely close to the angles that activate the blue tint. I'd have to agree that it's an overblown issue, making a mountain out of an anthill, just to have something to complain about. I can live with the washed out look personally, as I just get used to it within a day or so...and it is technically showing more accurate, true to life colors.

As for the Pixel 2 XL's camera? Umm...I'm honestly stunned. Jaw droppingly stunned. The hype is real. This camera aces shots on auto without even trying, that I had to try over and over again with my Huawei Mate 9 and 5T using all kinds of manual settings, and they don't even come close to matching the Pixel 2 XL on auto. It captures so much more detail effortlessly, and keeps it nice and sharp, and the coloring and exposure is just spot on. So YES, the camera really is that much better. It's just up to you how much you value a better camera.

The one big software feature I surprisingly miss a lot already from the 5T, was the ability to double tap the home button to put the screen to sleep, and double tap the screen to wake up. I've used workaround software with all my previous phones to allow for this, but ever since Nougat, it seems Google has stopped allowing this functionality on 3rd party apps. Now if apps attempt to do this, it ends up locking the phone, and you can't unlock it even with the fingerprint scanner.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
The camera sensors is actually good, almost all issues are on the software side. It definitely can be improve, however, that OnePlus will do it is uncertain.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] azsl1326:
I am coming from a Nexus 6P. While I wanted to get the Pixel 2 XL, I couldn't justify spending that much at this time. Everyone's financial situation is different. For me, I was looking in the $500 - $600 range. So price was a determining factor. Also, development for the phone. It seems that there is much more development for the OnePlus than Pixel 2 - at least at the moment, and that was a big factor for me. Upon getting the phone, I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. It's extremely quick and fluid, including the fingerprint reader - much more so than my Nexus 6P. It's lightweight, thin, and has a smaller footprint than I expected - slightly smaller than my 6P. In regards to the camera, I have found it more than acceptable. I have a DSLR for times when I need to take great shots, so the camera wasn't a make or break deal.

No regrets.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] tiny1055:
The Pixel 2 XL has a double tap to wake setting also. Just search in the settings for it.

I returned the 5T after trying it for 2 weeks, which was a really hard since I really did like it. I'm now using a Pixel 2 XL with a decent screen, no grain and less blue shift than 2 other ones I tried, and am pretty happy with it. The 5T's camera, the stupid alert slider (you can't schedule DND at night?!?), and not being on Verizon were deal breakers for me. The things that stand out on the Pixel 2 XL for me are the camera, the always on display which I love, and the front facing speakers. One thing I don't like is how much bigger the Pixel 2 XL feels in the hand. The 5T was perfect in that regard and felt smaller than it actually was. I also loved the 5T's screen. To me it was perfect with awesome viewing angles and very bright. You definitely don't notice the lower resolution and will appreciate the battery savings. Really wish Google used the same one :(.
