Pixel XL Bluetooth reliability - opinions before purchase?

[swieder711]

I am thinking about buying a new Pixel XL 128GB off of eBay ($550). My current phone is the Moto X Pure which is having lots of bluetooth problems like disconnects from Plantronics headset and my car. I am also stuck on Android 7.0 with no updates in development.

I thought about the Pixel 2 XL, but really want a headset jack, especially when BT craps out or with my Bose noise cancelling headset.

I have read many posts about problems with the Bluetooth connection with the Pixel XL. Can people reply with their good or bad experiences on the stability and reliability of the Bluetooth connection on the Pixel XL?

thanks!

Pixel XL is 1 year in and will be EOL with P bare that in mind before putting a lot of cash down we have some small development going on but nothing compared to other devices and BT is really hit and miss with this device works fine for some and awful for others and if you get a verizon model it's completely locked down no bootloader unlock unless you use a paid service I saw mentioned in the threads. Take a look at other devices before making a decision :good:

I agree with Wakefield pass on the Pixel XL v1. Bluetooth has been hit and miss. Can't really recommend it. Maybe look at the Pixel 2 XL or a newer Samsung?

+3 if you wait a little bit the Pxl2 will drop price due to the new one coming out at the end of the year.

Bluetooth is awful on the Pixel 1 XL, whenever I touch the top glass at the back and the phone is in my pocket, I get stuttering. It's fine when the device is on the side sitting there.

I will be getting 3 XL this year, but keeping a close eye in the first month before I buy it for issues like this.

bluetooth is perfect for me even with google voice commands in my car. i had the oneplus 3t and 5 with google voice commands over bluetooth was crap. pixel is really reliable.
