[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
With the Mate 9 Pro I can tell you that I was able to achieve between 7-11 hrs SOT over a period of 1.5-2 days. There's no way you can drain the battery of a Mate 10 over a day, so is pretty clear you got a defective unit, because Mate 10 comes with a more efficient processor than the Mate 9.

I was wondering the same about the Pixel, but I realized that people out there are becoming zombies with this phone and they are not demanding enough because "who cares, is Google"; we reached the point where Android users are becoming that which always criticized from Apple users, and they are just buying products because they come with a "G" in the back.

After watching many reviews and reading in different forums, it became more and more evident that my device was in the range in what we can call "normal" for this device, so I'm sure it wasn't a defective unit, and this became even more obvious after watching Mr Mobile review of the Mate 10 Pro, when he put side by side a video recording of the Pixel 2 XL and the Mate 10 Pro and you can notice immediately the crappy quality from the Pixel:

I made a camera comparison too with the U11+ and the Pixel 2 XL and I must say I got pretty similar results, and overall the U11+ was more consistent in most situations and with more detail/sharpness. I took more than 30 pictures and videos in low light conditions, and I couldn't believe that the "best camera in the market" was getting beaten by a phone came from nowhere.

I really like Google, I use all their apps and services and I have the Play Music and YouTube Red subscription, so trust me when I say I don't have anything against Google, but this time they went to far away with the price and quality of this phone, and becomes obvious that reviewers and tech leaders are just lying to the consumers and all of them are making a pro campaign in Google favour, because if it was another company the one with this phone, probably they will say things as they are.

On the other hand, is funny how I see every US site bashing against the U11+ in the reviews, while european and asians channels just speak wonderful things about this phone and the Mate 10 Pro. They say that brightness is bad, that battery is poor, that has a slow fingerprint sensor... and after having the two of them in a period of a week or so, I can say that is just bull5h1t and makes me wonder if Google is paying to those channels or is part of the arrangement of Google-HTC to not sell the U11+ in the US.

Take a look at MKBHD review of the Mate 10 Pro: just pure trash.

Take a look at DxoMark of the V30: another fail, when most of the reviews said that the camera was top notch.

People mainly in the US don't want to recognize that are better devices out there, but still I'm not sure if it's by the money (because clearly no one wants to have bad relationships with Google), or just because of the stupid fanaticism they have in their heads.

Unfortunately, we can't trust anymore those people in internet and YouTube, because depending the money in between, are the results we can expect from one or another device. Makes me ****1n sick all that trash.
