Are you concerned you might receive another buggy device? That was my concern and one of the reasons I opted for a full out return instead of an exchange. And I wanted to get an XL sized one. But that gave me pause, too, because it was just seeming that the odds of getting a replacement with some other issue might be high given that there is a laundry list now of things Google needs to fix, above and beyond the random weird issue my Pixel 2 had. I decided to wait at least a couple of months and see how this all works out. And now I’m interested in the IPhone X and the 8 Plus (again). Reading about them is fun, anyway.
Meanwhile my 7 Plus is serving me well. It has been acting a little strange on Thursday and I had to reboot numerous times. But that’s iOS 11 these days. I did get the latest update installed to my iPad mini 4 and now it runs smoother. I’ll update my iPhone later.
My Samsung is chugging along, too. I wanted to swap in my HTC 10 for awhile, but I decided to do that after the holidays because my S8+ takes better pictures and videos.
Well, I’m sorry to hear you are having some issues. I empathize. Truly I do. My heart sank quite a bit when I realized I was going to be saddled with video problems on my Pixel 2. It was otherwise such a nice little phone. The return deadline came upon me faster than I would have liked. Even with the video defect I was having fun with it. I hadn’t even fully set it up yet. I knew I wanted to try different things with it but never got the chance. I was busier than I’d have liked while I had it. Too much on the go.
