![]() ![]() And unlike certain glass-covered handsets, like the Galaxy S9 or newer iPhones, it seems rugged and more able to withstand day-to-day use this way. But more to the point, it feels better-more premium, if you will-without the case. The Pixel 2 XL is sleeker sans-case, which is obvious enough. (Plus, there will be future Android P previews that should solve this issue.) And while it has introduced some new camera instabilities, these are easily solved by restarting the app. Key among them was blowing away the OS so I could install the Android P Developer Preview: this nicely solved, if temporarily, the many performance issues I’d been experiencing.

So I’m going to give the Pixel 2 XL another chance. ![]() That those are key Pixel 2 XL advantages (for me) is, of course, notable. Notably low-light photography and Project Fi compatibility. For me … it just falls short in a few key areas. Let me ruin the surprise of my coming review: The Galaxy S9+ is an amazing phone, and it would be a great choice for virtually anyone.
