Has anyone used both, any real life differences between the 2 phones. Currently have a pixel xl and it's been a smooth experience so now wandering how much more better the new pixel xl 2 would be.
Anyone used both pixel xl and pixel 2 XL thoughts please?

Bluetooth is a huge improvement. Pixel XL Bluetooth just sucks, very broken.
Screen is a decent size increase which I really like. Black crush is a little worse but liveable. Off angle blue exists but is liveable.
Battery life is amazing.
Stereo front facing speakers are nice.
Camera keeps getting better.
Fastest phone I've ever used.

Was mildly interested, but I don't like their track record of software updates plus recent missing crypto libraries and discoveries of old software versions in current 8 release. Tells me there are shortcuts under the hood.
You should check out the HTC U11+ though. It was almost the Pixel 2 XL. Great hardware but won't be in US. No clue what HTC software is like these days though, I just recently started browsing them.
Hmm just watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and the multi tasking on the pixel xl 2 appears terrible is that still the case?
Yes the HTC u11 + looks amazing but the company appears to be in trouble.
Not that I have ever seen. I even set animation scales to .5 and it still doesn't stutter switching between apps, just goes faster.
HTC has been "in trouble" for years. Business decisions it seems, by all accounts the flagships have been really good for past three years. Just so has everyone else too.
Course everyone says Samsung has fixed their lag issues this/last year. Not sure I believe it but I might at least try one in 18'.
Wasn't aware that oneplus was behind the curve in software updates. I found the opposite to be true, especially when beta releases were offered in two flavors (h20 and 02). Not to mention any weakness in the official release we're more than offset with a vibrant dev community.
But then again I was only actively monitoring the oneplus forums during their oneplus 2 and 3 product cycles.
Are things different now?

It's not that they are behind(which would be fine), but that details get missed like they are rushed (bad). I can't find the thread about nougat libraries or something still present in Oreo, likely not a big deal anyway but why?

I'm with them on this one, there is a solid history of partition changes messing up phones.
Anyway my interests moved on and I've never touched a OnePlus, try it is you want.
I have a U11 great device but the software sucks very buggy and slow updates. Paying for the camera only
I think at the moment if price isn't an issue the oneplus in spite of all the shody bussiness they get up to is a much better device. The headphone jack, the extra ram makes it a very worthwhile contender indeed.
I wanted a U11 bad until after hearing about how fragile the build of the phone is & the horror stories from owners who had to send in their phones to HTC for repairs & not getting them back until months later. No thanks! [emoji1496]*
