I got the phone because I wanted a good camera with me at all times. This Pixel 2xl has not disappointed with photos. The other stuff is like all mobile phones - access to all apps, emails. I can never hear the phone ringing in my handbag, but then it is usually when I don't want to be disturbed. Great size of screen and my friends are very envious with the pics I take as what they end up on their mobile phone will never be as good as the Pixel.

This is a great phone, the camera is just as good as other cameras and the screen looks very good with nice color saturation. I bought mine on sale, and even though this is an older phone it is a great value. The camera quality at night is good but not great, my friend's new iphone has better lighting but the phone was also $1000 more expensive. The display is very good and I don't have any problems seeing the screen even in the day time. I just my phone for playing games as well and its fast enough to play all the games I have downloaded from google play store. I would give it 5 stars but the night time camera isn't as good as newer phones.

Have had this phone for 18 months. Does everything you expect from a premium phone. Very large screen and great to watch movies and series on when away from home. Camera makes amazing pictures and Google assistant works a treat. Had no problems and would definately buy again. Only downside I found the price which is quite high at around $1600

I bought this for the fabulous camera. I am very happy with pics especially in low light and portrait mode. Easy to get free ringtones and customised ringtones. Great to watch videos.

My friend bought Pixel2 XL in new a year and 3months ago, the phone got a serious mul function and now keep shut down and doesn't work properly so gave me the phone. The factory reset doesn't help anything so I sent Google and also Google recomended phone repair place messages, both place not reply anything just fully ignore my messages. The phone camera is great but it's got serious technical issues also after service is absolutely horrible. I highly not recommend to buy Google phones.

The camera on this phone is still one of the best in smart phones going around. This is on par with the new Pixel 3A. The brightness is top notch and apps run very smooth.

It has a great feel and quite durable. I highly recommend.

Great design and dual rocker speakers produces crisp sounds. However volume is lacking compared to other phones such as Samsung. Limited RAM for some reason, switching between apps may cause the initial app to restart. Have used this phone for personal use for about 6months then upgraded to Pixel 3.

I have had nothing but problems since buying this phone. The original charger stopped working
I bought a replacement and that also didn't work. I then tried a colleagues charger which was through a third party and it worked fine.

Bought a second hand one for 350$ (cracked beezel) works like a charm, much better than Samsung 8+ I had which I have had fix 2+ time with screen cracking so easily and now s8+ is running crazy with display turns green

Best phone I have ever owned. At first I preferred my old Samsung S7 Edge (Which was also a great device)
But paired with an official Google phone cover it's been great, and still going great after 2 and a bit years. I'm a tradie, my phone cops a hiding. But this thing looks like it did the day I bought it. Battery is starting to slow down but I get all day/night before needing a charge. The screen is soft but super strong and clear, software is spot on. Camera is still top 3 on the market. Not bad for a phone that was released 2 or so years ago.

The camera is awesome at low light condition also, battery life (almost a year later) is still magnificent, never had to restart the phone coz it got stuck into something, so fast. Squeezing to open the google assistant and search had saved a lot of my time. I have not seen any screen issues that was mentioned earlier.

I love this product. I can browse and easily access information. A feedback is the with fi detection isn't upto the standard of Google especially overseas. Great battery charge and memory.

Having previously owned a Samsung, I made the switch to Google for something different. I won't own anything else other than Google branded products now. Camera quality is great and they have just brought out an update that fixes pictures in darker settings.

My husband paid a fair amount for this phone, and it disappointed me. While the camera takes some good pictures in full light, in low light lines appear across the photos. The volume didn't work, calls started dropping out and the charger stopped working. Not what I thought I would get for an expensive phone. That said Google were fantastic in replacing it with a refurbished one, have to wait and see if the replacement is any better. Also JB-Hifi didn't help with any complaints, we had to go to Google direct even though the phone was purchased from JB-Hifi store.

Phone calls drop out when making or receiving calls. A safety issue if an emergency call is needed.
Have replaced Sim card and done a factory reset but no change.
Can send the phone away but what do I use in the meantime.
Will not be buying these expensive brands again!

Such a great phone. I'll never look back! Camera quality is great and my friends are always wanting to use my phone for the event photos. Easy to use. Does everything I need and more. Also left it outside on the balcony in the pouring rain on the weekend, still works perfectly! Everyone asks "how?" I say "Google Phone"

The Camera is incredibly good, the resolution is amazing, it makes watching videos on a phone an enjoyable experience and have had no issues running any apps at all. If you are considering getting an upgrade the google pixel 2xl in my opinion is not only worth buying, it's the smart choice to make.
