DetroitBORG I just want to say thank you for reviewing tech products and helping me choose which phone I want you have simplified buying a phone for me so thank you very much
Personally I feel that most of the stuff you talked about were already known. This doesn’t give us an idea as to how the device performs after so many months. You just stated all the features which we’re already aware about. No hate.
If it matters at all, I have the 2 XL and the performance is the same as the day I got it. Granted I only use about half of my storage of which I have 64 gigs. The only thing that hasn't aged well is the plastic coating on the back which chipped after being dropped. Just in case anyone out there is wondering.
Mine has aged well. I use a clear case to show off the White/Black look and a Google fabric case. No issues with a scraped up device. It also runs as fast as new. Happy with the 2 XL.
I love long term reviews. It's always nicer when the reviewer has had some real time with a device, and half the review isn't made up of spec sheet talking points. Your content and info is great, the shooting is superb, with a nice balance of beauty shots and more basic establishing shots. The info covered is a nice balance of deep dive tech stuff and basic stuff like icon and screen layout. Plus, as someone deciding between the two, it was a great dual phone review. Keep doing what you're doing, and thanks!
Very good review. My only critique is how easy it is to dismiss the smaller Pixel 2. I guess I understand why, since they are pretty much the same and people tend to gravitate toward the XL variant, but I was hoping you would have included a bit more on the experience (specifically battery life) with the little brother.
Getting one for my birthday next month on late May! I've been watching many reviews on this phone since January and I see it has improved over time. I have great hope in this phone, thanks for this review!
Yeeeeees a new detroit borg’s video i missed you i hope you’ll do your annual apple review for 2017 and a review of the new ipad soon thanks for ur videos👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That’s impressive how you can succeed at giving us details that no one shared 6 months later (i don’t remember any review i saw or read saying that the orange power button is plastic vs metal on the other colors). Well done
Welcome back with the king of reviewers sorry ur the best , i was checking up every Day i thought it's something there , I'm happy to see u again . Welcom back 👍👍👍
I've used my Pixel 2 XL for about 10 months & I've factory reset my phone 4 times now. Once after using the beta, once for battery issues & twice for minor performance issues. The phone has always performed like day one except the animations/transitions. Sometimes after very long screen on time usage I would notice a decent drop in performance which went away when I let the phone cool down. I got in contact with Google support and their solution was sending me a new device. It should arrive this week. That's been my experience.
I was initially unimpressed when they debut the pixel 2. I would like the smaller version, but why can't they give it more screen to body ratio like the xl?
I know this is a late reply but the reason why the smaller Pixel 2 has a lower screen to body ratio than the XL is because 2 companies were designed to make the XL and the original. HTC were tasked with designing the smaller Pixal 2 (I think they probably to put a bigger battery), and LG did the XL version
Really enjoyed this video I really learned a lot in terms of the differences between the two devices. I work wireless retail so this really helps when customers come in asking questions about the differences between the two and I can answer the questions more in depth
This was a great review and I appreciated it! I knew nothing of the Pixel phones, only have owned Samsung G's, but after this video and other reviews and research, I am going to make the change - thank you!
You're good at it bro! you deserve to post anything, and what we're expecting is: to review iPhone SE on 2018! cuz that guy has some lot of power to smoke off!
I'm pretty avid at watching reviews before I purchase products. i saw your review on the oled lg tv and thats what ultimately help me decide to buy it. I bought it and I love it. no regrets. you have the best review video! thanks man!
Good things come to those who wait homie! Think I might do one at 6 months...I haven't done my review yet, LOL.
🤣 I was really unsure about even posting it.
Jared Busch S9?
I think the Pixel is still a trending phone right now, so really enjoyed watching the video!
💥 Welcome back BORG! 💥
You're sorry it's late?! If you released this review next year I'd still watch and enjoy it! lol
Nice video!
DetroitBORG I just want to say thank you for reviewing tech products and helping me choose which phone I want you have simplified buying a phone for me so thank you very much
If you thinking of buying this one (XL), I'd rather recommend LG V30. Same gr8 screen but no extra dongles for the headphones, and its cheaper too.
Dmytro Bogdan ok I will take that into consideration when I go get mine today
Its about time. Glad you're back.

Tesla thanks for that Information. Not watching the video.

Just in case anyone out there is wondering.
That's because unlike most other phones, the performance stays exactly like it was on day one: Excellent.
Exactly my thoughts. This is no different than any other review minus a couple of software updates.
Mine has aged well. I use a clear case to show off the White/Black look and a Google fabric case. No issues with a scraped up device. It also runs as fast as new. Happy with the 2 XL.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Finally I can make my decision to buy it. Thanks

Hamza EL GARRAB Yeah I miss the nexus brand those were my go to phones.
Most expensive? May I point you to the Galaxy Note 8?

That’s impressive how you can succeed at giving us details that no one shared 6 months later (i don’t remember any review i saw or read saying that the orange power button is plastic vs metal on the other colors). Well done
You have uploaded video after such a long time that for one moment I forgot my best youtube channel ⚔
“3.5mm headphone jack satisfyingly not new..” hmm how the tables have turned
spehammond they ate their own words
Red Hood smh
Bragged about having no camera bump at the last few seconds of the pixel 1 as
Pixel 2, we have a bump.
Alexa play despacito

I was wondering where you were!
Wow a video after a gap of 1 month keep it up
Was thinking what happened to you Brog. Thankfully you are back...….
Really enjoyed this video I really learned a lot in terms of the differences between the two devices. I work wireless retail so this really helps when customers come in asking questions about the differences between the two and I can answer the questions more in depth
Finally here this review, good video man.
Great to see that you reviewed this device very positively.
The wait was definitely worth it. Another A+ video, Mike!
I had to subscribe after such a great in depth review!!!! The Pixel 2 XL has been nothing short of a Great Experience thus far.
This was a great review and I appreciated it! I knew nothing of the Pixel phones, only have owned Samsung G's, but after this video and other reviews and research, I am going to make the change - thank you!
You're good at it bro! you deserve to post anything, and what we're expecting is: to review iPhone SE on 2018! cuz that guy has some lot of power to smoke off!
Eagerly waiting for your review..
Loved how you reviewed them both side by side and actually compared the two.
Hey great video mike. Long time. good to see a new video. Can't wait for the S9 review. 🙌🏻
Missed you man
The legend is back!!!
Feast to our eyes, it always cool to see Pixel innovative software features. Excellent job!
Just the perfect thing to let me decide on buying a 2 XL after all the software updates. Thanks man!
What do you do for a living? I want a house like yours, or at least a room like it.
Excellent video, your voice is extremely soothing.
Welcome back,bro
Nice. Love your reviews. This phone's photo quality is simply incredible. Maybe has something to do with a secret Google algorithm
Great video after a long time 👍
Welcome back 🖖🏻
long time no see! hope to see s9 soon?
One of the best mobile review I've seen in a while.
I'm pretty avid at watching reviews before I purchase products. i saw your review on the oled lg tv and thats what ultimately help me decide to buy it. I bought it and I love it. no regrets. you have the best review video! thanks man!
Thanks for the rightly delayed review!! Excellent work.
