Google Pixel 2 XL in 2024 - STILL worth it?

[@ajeeb7618]

they should re release these phones with the latest software like how iphone did it with their se series

[@rossniem]

that would be cool, i'd settle for a case that looked like this phone.

[@techwolfcave]

This was my dream phone before, and now I have the Pixel 6A. I am happy that I am still wanting the Pixel phones, tho it take me some time to save to buy the one I can afford :)

[@rossniem]

Yeah thats why its nice to look back at some of these old phones, much more affordable.

[@alexander.cms.1]

i got an pixel 6a and an pixel 2xl too

[@KydrahDemon]

I still use my Pixel 2 XL to this day as my main phone. I bought my Pixel 2 XL back in 2021 for $99 (reconditioned). It has held up very well over the years and got my money's worth. It has made me a fan of the Pixel phones as the gold standard of the android phones. The good, it's fast even for it's age and the camera is great. The bad, I did get a burn in issue on the screen and due to it's old age some apps offered in the play store are no longer compatible with it (Had to find a older version of the app to get it to run). I'll use it till it dies on me and then get another Pixel phone.

I’ve just ordered the fabric case for my pixel 2xl and I can’t wait for it to arrive!

[@ivansupetran2914]

The fact that this 2017 flagship phones is still better than budget phones within 200$ segment is crazy, it's been like 7 years

[@rossniem]

The power of the pixel! And the design still holds up well too.

[@samuelnganga6033]

Mine looks like it was ran over by a train but it's still my daily phone, I've had it for like 5 years now and i never seem to get enough of it. Both cameras don't work at this point😂😂. Anyone to bless me with another one/upgrade to a newer one will be highly appreciated.

[@petergilbert8286]

Maybe it's just me, but the latter Nexus phones (please don't flame me with bootloop reminders 😎) and early Pixel phones seemed more playful than phones today. A time when Google weren't afraid to try all kinds of things (again, please no comments about the temperature sensor on the 8 pro, no idea about that 😂) Maybe I'm just being nostalgic but I found those era of devices a lot of fun. Another great nostalgia video, love the retro tech , keep them coming 👌

[@rossniem]

Cheers Peter, yeah there’s something special about these old pixels.

[@alexander.cms.1]

@@rossniem The old Pixel devices have a certain charm.

[@rossniem]

@@alexander.cms.1 they definitely do!

[@Nearnface]

wowowoow

[@shayanahmed3632]

Glad to see some retro stuff!

[@rossniem]

So glad i picked up these old pixels!

[@felistusshangomba6062]

Am using a 2xl but the camera is tripping it keeps on timing out. Please help

[@jedipdx]

the bezels were incredible wdym

[@rossniem]

I can live with the ones on the 2XL, the regular Pixel 2 bezels were HUGE

[@bernielomax4702]

HTC worked on the 2 and originally the 2Xl but Google abandoned the HTC design for the 2XL and tapped LG to do it. So it technically was 2 different phones. The original 2Xl is the HTC U11.

[@rossniem]

It worked out pretty well… well if you got the XL you definitely got the nicer phone.

[@nareshdaggupati2290]

Bro mobile website link plz

[@rossniem]

I just got this one off eBay mate, I find it better than Amazon for the quality.

[@lucaspanasski331]

Do you thik refrub from ebay is better than renewed from amazon ??​@@rossniem

[@MaxSabbath666]

i just went from a 2xl to a 6pro, and the 6pro sucks. im gonna retun it and go back to my 2xl

[@rossniem]

I’ve never tried the 6 pro but the 2XL is such a special phone. Maybe try the 4XL

[@Sunpart1]

One question, if you purchase an older android phone in which the life cycle for OS and Security updates has already ended will the phone automatically update to the latest OS and security update that is available for the phone?

[@rossniem]

Good question, when I've been collecting these phones they were already set to the latest software update they could have. But if they are not it's easy to update them. Just go to Settings, System the Software Updates.

[@Sunpart1]

​@@rossniemThank you 🙂

[@craigregnier3220]

Pixel 3 XL is still my favorite device ever to this day

[@rossniem]

Can't wait get my hands on the 3XL

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Still deciding but my 3a has been great and I have to get my mother off my 3A and 2.5gb ram on her dinosaur.

[@sabankdude1]

I use it with Visible and still runs awesome!!

[@rossniem]

I need to start looking into these custom roms

[@harveyabeyie9095]

Do 4xl

[@rossniem]

I love the 4 XL, I used it so much last year.

[@felistusshangomba6062]

My camera is tripping how can you help me

[@TurtlePower99]

Not worth using as main phone... serious boot loop issues. Will randomly get stuck in a loop with no way to fix it.

[@idk...416]

No it won't 💀
